on April 23, 2009, after the last CCF we have. I am so excited. I obviously talked to Jason and he explained the whole thing to me, and did I mention I can't wait???? God has been so good to me and I can't wait to see what else He has in store for me!!
Sunday, when Chelsea and Kayla came up to visit us, was AMAZING! Kayla and I hit it off really well and we are still texting each other. We are even sending pictures to one another!! Still working on the calling thing haha. Kayla's accent is so thick that I can barely understand on her on the phone. :D They watched me play softball and we (CCF) had a good game even though we lost (I think). After that, we went to Applebee's for dinner and after that, Chelsea and Kayla dropped Brittney and I off and they left. We didn't want them to leave haha. After we got to the top of the steps, Britt and I turned around and watched them drive off. We so weren't ready for them to leave.
We had late night at CCF tonight, so here are my notes!!
1
It is easy to give up your material things, but it is hard to give your flesh and body fully over to God.
We are just stewards of our things and body. We are just 'borrowing' our bodies.
We are slaves to Christ because He made us, He owns us.
Redeemer-He is our owner, our creator, and we have sold ourselves to other worldly things, our desires, and Christ has bought us back to be His.
We are slaves to Christ, but we dont like the word 'slave' because we associate it with things like working for other people, bondage, injustice, oppression.
But we are free slaves. We are slaves to Christ but He gives us free will to do what we want to.
What you do or don't do, you are still doing something, even if that something is nothing.

We have to give up our wants, our desires, and truly worship God for all His worth.
Abraham's sacrifice of Isacc: Willingness to give up what he truly loved the most to show how much he loved God.
We are trying to understand God's will sufficently.
Thomas knew that it would turn out horrible and he still chose to follow Christ.
3
We have the freedom to make mistakes and still be able to come back and try again.
It's difficult to give full control to God.
Philippians 4:13-We can withstand trial, pain, mockery, suffering because God strengthens them.
We can't be healed til we have been broken.
