since i have been in jbay i have been helping with the youth @ deo doxa, the church i attend. i am so in love with the kids there, they are such a blessing to me. it is so cool for me to see the growth that is happening in these kids lives. there are two girls in particular i talk to on a regular basis, and im close with. nicole, one of the girls, has been having a rough time at school. last week she broke down at youth group & shared a lot of personal things & struggles. this week we have been having a conference at night for the youth. last night i had the oppurtunity to see her worship the lord & give it all over to him. she told me that she will never be the same person because of what i have helped her with. its so awesome to see the fruit of my work & to be so blessed by these girls.

this week has been a really rough week for me. since last weekend i haven't been feeling too well. i've been having really bad pains in my stomach & i got dehydrated. i havent been able to eat anything & what i have been able to eat i havent been keeping it down. i went to the doctor monday & got some medicine, but it isnt helping. i'm not sure what is wrong with me, if i dont start feeling better soon, i will probably have to get a few tests done. i was only able to go to ministry on monday & a little bit thursday. i'm not sure what is going on with my body, but it's really starting to effect me; physically, emotionally, & spiritually. i tell you this because i ask that you please keep me in your prayers.

i know i put lyrics up here last week as well but i love this song & it's been a good song for me to listen to this week... it's by david crowder band & its called "deliver me".

Deliver me out of the sadness
Deliver me from all the madness
Deliver me courage to guide me
Deliver me Your strength inside me
All of my life
I've been in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like You
Now that You're here
Now that I've found You
I know that You're the One to pull me through
Deliver me loving and caring
Deliver me giving and sharing
Deliver me this cross that I'm bearing
Jesus, Jesus how I trust You
How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus
Deliver me
Come and pull me through
Come pull me through
