Witnessing.

On my way home I had a nice conversation with God. Yesterday after church, I got really hyped up about sharing Jesus with others and I began to think why don't we do this more often? I think our feeling is that perhaps we don't have all the answers and are afraid that someone will ask us one of those questions for which the answer is absent from our mind. That's ok. They may critizie us and they may laugh and say "How can you call yourself a Christian"? All you have to say is that "I can call myself a Christian because I am a true follower of Christ, and I know in my heart that he gave His life so that I could live forever and it is my honor to serve Him on earth, while I await on my heavenly father to take me to heaven." It is not our job to convert peoples, it is our job to share the gospel and to bring it to peoples attention, the Lord will work on their hearts.
Perhaps you, like I, have felt that my testimony isn't good enough to share with others because it's not something completely radical(i.e. I've had a few friends who are former witches and have come to be born-again), but friend I tell you that it IS good enough. If it is good enough for the Lord, then it is good enough for man. I believe it is part of the "unknown" that we fear. I have it, just like anyone else but I am working on it and praying that God can help me out, which I know he can.
I am hyped up about sharing Jesus, are you? Just think about it, when you get to heaven and the Lord says : "What have you done for my Kingdom on earth?" what are you going to say? I know I don't have much to say, if anything at all.

I found a website through StumbleUpon (via the fabulous Firefox) that led me to Kirk Cameron's ministry of witnessing and it's fabulous, it's an easy way to start up a conversation with someone and turn it to be about Jesus! You simply ask, Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Reguardless of the answer you say something like..."What makes you or anyone a good person?"...Watch the videos. It really restored the confidence I needed for myself. Praise God.

The Way of the Master

Headache.

I've got a headache that just won't go away! *Sigh* I'm working on painiting and tomorow I have a job to go to that's a temporary job but nevertheless it gives me money and that's what I need to pay the bills! I don't have too much to write today. It's raining outside so it's nice..maybe I'll just listen. Heheh.

It's a few hours later and the headache finally went away. I did a lot of painting, cleaning up the kitchen, fixed the holes in the wall of our bathroom ( which I created) as you can see here. ^__^. So I've fixed it now and just have to do a bit of sanding and then pait over it and voilia! Fixed. When Ryan gets home tonight we're going to get more paint, so I can finish the house.

Ringo pooed in our ditch or the ditch behind our house and I heard someone yell scumbag a bit later, so I went and picked it up. :( To me it's just strange to have to pick up your doggy's poo. I've never done it before so I guess I just don't understand. Also...I think someone egged my mom's car. Blimey brats. I suspect it's adults rather than children.

How do you share Jesus?

Are there certain things you say to get the focus of your conversations to Jesus and telling people about him? I find it difficult to start the conversation but much easier to keep it going! Please share!





A rather interesting post here. The Off Ramp

Jobs...

Yesterday I reported that I had all kinds of job thingy's going on and so finally I broke down and rang the recruter for the staffing agency about the law job. I told her that I had a previous engagement and that I had not planned to start the next day and made an appointment for 4:30. So I said that if it would be okay I could work until about 2pm and then leave. She said *really nicely* that if this wasn't 100% something I wanted to do then she would like to give the position to someone else who is completely interested and that she has another job for me as a recptionist, which is much closer than an hour away. So, this was Ryan's advice to call her and say that I had another appointment I couldn't get away from, and Ryan always seems to have the best advice.

We went to the baseball game and lost! :( But..I did get to pet the ray's which was really cool. You see the team is Tampa Bay Devil Ray's and they've set up a tank at Tropicana Stadium that has like 20 live ray's in them and you can go and pet them, so we did. It was really weird...felt really slimey and I didn't want to stick my hand in at first. Sometimes they'd come in this huge pack and granted they have no teeth and are bottom-dwellers it was still a bit frightening in that MY hand was in the tank. They felt a bit...rubbery and slimey, made out of cartlidge you know. Also, strangely enough Billy Ray Cyrus was there and you'd never believe how he looked. I would have never guessed it was him. Hehe...

So yes the Lord does provide and I prayed for that and the ability to see what it is that I needed to do. Let's pray for a job at Books-a-million, which is where I want to work! :D :D

I need to finish painting our house! It just seems to never get done, I guess that's because I don't have the money to buy paint. Lol, but that will change soon as I've got all these jobs lined up. *Prays*

Interview...and some.

I had an interview today in downtown which is like a full hour away without traffic. So I get into the center of downtown and I've never been here before and there is only this one way traffic, which is crazy and loads of construction! So I'm going around and around looking for this building and finally I see it and go up 4 stories to a parking garage that's in circles so I'm dizzy at the time I get there. Then I finally get into the building, and it's an elevator to the lobby from the 4th floor. I take it down and then walk into this beautiful building and they have banks of elevators, you know the ones that go from like 16-28 29-40, etc. so they skip all the smaller floors..and I hate these because they go so fast! So I get there the interview is like 10 minutes, if that. I didn't want to take the elevator down again so I try the starewell and go down to the 16th floor so that I could just keep going down, but that didn't work as I forgot it'd only go to the 16h floor not all the way to the the 4th where my car was. No luck. I get to the 16th, door locked. Back up to the 17th, door locked, 18th, door locked and I was about to panic and then the 19th (where I started) unlocked. I stomached the elevator down and back up to the car. So I get the call that I have the job butttttt I've got an interview with Books a Million tomorrow at 4:30, which is where I *really* want to work. LOL what a mess!! What am I going to do? I've got to call the temp. agency back and let them know if I'm taking the law job.

More confused than ever.

I am more confused than ever, when it has come to deciding my future. Ultimately, it is not I who has the decision to do so, but the Lord. Yes I am very aware of that, but in the meantime, seeking him and what I am supposed to do has left me...well...blank. There are so many posibilities out there and I've come across a few but nothing is 100% and I have to decide soon. I've got my LSAT stuff here, but I can't be bothered to study for it. So it makes me wonder...Do I really want it? What is it that I am supposed to do? It's becoming quite overwhelming and really just giving me the scare of a life-time. I don't want to invest time and money into something that I will absolutely hate, naturally.


"The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and befor honour is humility." Provers 15:33. - What does that mean? It doesn't help me, or maybe my eyes just aren't opened right now. I don't know, I just don't know and it is driving me CRAZY. Patience...patience...patience. I know, but it's just not coming to me right now.

Boy it's HOT!

The A/C guy arrived early this morning, which was nice. He does his thing and reports to me that our A/C is on it's last leg and also quite moldy inside, which is giving us that terrible smell. *Sigh* So I call Ryan and tell him, and he decides to get it fixed now and turns out we're gonna get it installed today...$6,000.00 later and we have the guys installing it as I'm writing. 6,000!!!!!! OUTRAGEOUS. Almost as outrageous as our electricity bill, which is 400.00, but from the A/C. So right now I'm sitting in a hot room with my fan going and watching Legally Blonde.

I got a call from a law staffing firm who want to interview me for a position at one of two law firms. One is looking for someone to work their way up, and the other is for a junior secretary, both are about an hour away (w/traffic) but at the moment I'm not in a position to be picky. Perhaps I'll get this and then keep trying for local firms. So I'm going in tomorrow to interview with the staffing place, and I may need to go to an interview with the firms so I have to dress up and I only have 1 skirt/suit. Lol. Bah.

That hurts.

Why is that the people who are supposed to love you and be close to you are the ones who are the furthest away? Eh...well apparently my grandparents don't believe me, that I just got money from them for giving the impression that I graduated rather than actually graduating and then he says that I'm not gonna be able to go to your wedding. Real nice, yeah?

I had gotten bored with blogging and then I realized how much I liked it and then when I can't talk to my friends because of something or whatever then I can write it on here.

So tomorrow I have the a/c guy coming to check ours out. Hopefully he won't be frightened away by the smell. Yes, I hate to say it but there is some terrible smell omitting from our livingroom. I cannot figure out what on earth it is and can't get rid of it either. I cleaned up our garage a bit, hoping to get rid of it that way but no such luck.

So it just may not be updated reguarly but now and again. How about some fun pictures here?
