Heart Attack
Where are you at?
Each room is a different type of Christian.
Carport-not saved
self-you are your own God
lethal-you are dead in your sin
Kitchen-doing things for God rather than allowing Him to do it through you. Your focus is on doing it for God and not God.
Service-doing all those things to please people and you get pooped out and frustrated b/c your focus is not on God.
Legal-you make things legal rather than drawing near to God. It becomes a checklist.
Couch-focus on yourself
self-pleasing yourself
lazy-not willing to do His will but doing as you please.
Closet-focus is on sin. What can I do to make myself happy.
sin-keep on sinning; your focus is on your sin
lowlife-youre miserable; suffering in sin.
Carpet-at Jesus' feet. Focus is on him.
Savior-who your focus is on.
love-his love is fulfilling. You can't find anything on earth that fufills you like His love.
Curtain-youre looking out the window at someone. They are your focus. (Boyfriend/girlfriend)
someone-you are focusing on them rather than God.
lonely-w/ or w/out that relationship you will find yourself lonely b/c their love will fail you from time to time and you will find that something is missing.

God,
I just finished reading 2 Chronicles. It was awesome to see how you worked through the kingdom. Those who followed you prospered. Those who didn't, either died or was held captive. It was neat to live through the history of Judah. Thank you for giving us your word.

Now I plan on reading Esther.

MOSES
Faith of a mustard seed- God showed him signs to show the Pharaoh. He put his rod on the ground and it became a snake. He picked it up and it was a rod again. He put his hand in his bosom and when he took it out it was leprous. God told him to put it back in his bosom then remove it. When he did it was clean again; like his other flesh.
God showed him these things while at the burning bush. Moses told God that he was slow in his speech and God answered, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?" Exodus 4:10
God,
I have been thinking a lot about Desiree lately and also, when I was watching The Prince of Egypt. All these different things in scripture came to my mind. Well, I decided to read Exodus and I found My Utmost Devotional Bible. So I started reading Exodus and in the second devotional it has an excerpt from Matt.. It's Matt. 18:1-20. It had everything in it that came to mind while watching the movie and it reminded me of Desiree. That was so awesome how everything fell into place. I love you God. Thank you!

FIRST DAY OF SPRING BREAK!
Today was so awesome! We got to CB, ate dinner, played games, had devo, then just hung out. Ryan, Shea and I went to the b-ball court to shoot hoops. Later Matt came and we had a game going. It was awesome! We came back to the cabin and I felt like running so I ran 10 laps in a circle around camp. That was awesome. God, I pray that you will allow me to focus on you totally. While we're worshiping, having quiet times or even all day every day. I pray that I will always know you are there. I pray that I can feel your presence even during Alg. class when I am so caught up in learning what's being taught. Thanks. I love you God.

Joshua Harris' Love Video Handout
Proverbs 19:22 Man desires UNFAILING LOVE
Where? Jesus Christ GIRLS
Only in God 1 John 3:8
commodity? any useful thing
What is love? Protecting other's purity as well as your own.
selfless
3 things bible says about love:

*best for others
-true love is sincere
Romans 12:9
-true love is revealed in Jesus dying for us on the cross

God,
Great things are happenin'! Shea's feeling better, we all have cars (almost). I decided that when I finish Exodus that I'm going to read through Deuteronomy. After that I'm going to complete the new testament and then read through, in order (maybe), the Old Testament.
Last week I memorized Gal. 2:20. It was so awesome! Ever since I memorized it I could feel you in me. You are LIVING in me. It was so awesome.
Also, Jessica and I have been talking a lot! Thanks for using me and speaking through me. You have taught me so many things. Such as, love for others and you living IN me. Thank you. I love you!

Dear God,
Tasha wrote me today saying that she has realized what her friends do and she doesn't want to be like that. She wrote me and Dez a letter and we let her sit at our table. Jessica is upset b/c she thinks it was just so that she would have a place to sit at lunch. Personally, I don't think she would do that just so she could have a place to sit at lunch. God, use me and Dez to reach out to her. Please. We can only do this with your strength and wisdom. "I lean not on my own understanding." Thank you God. I pray for Jess too. I pray that she will soon be sold out for you Jesus. I love you!
Heart with cross,
Cara
