Making a Difference

The power of faith is absolutely incredible. For one to believe so strongly in something that they would lay their life down for it is wonderful. For me, this is all about the walk that I am in as I follow an amazing Creator, Christ. He leads my tiny steps wherever I go and helps me to leave huge footprints.

In this world, I want to be different. I want to leave footprints on the lives of many. I am all about talking the talk and walking the walk. You cannot do one without the other. As a devoted Christ follower, I try my best every single day to do both of these. I want to show others the love I have for the Lord by reaching out to others around me, even if it is in a small way. Never underestimate yourself and the things you can do in this world. I have learned lately that you cannot sit back on the sidelines and hope for something to come along and happen. God wants us to be proactive. He will bless us in so many ways if we simply reach out and do our part in making a difference by sharing His love that He has given to us with people that cross our path.

All this being said, I want to do my part in helping Kenna's mom, Marianne. Most of you know that she has surgery coming up and is having a difficult time financially as she is uninsured, for Makenna's sake. Marianne is such a wonderful woman of God and has extreme amounts of faith right now. She knows that the Lord will provide! He will, and He always does! Her and her family are so precious to me and the real love they have for one another and for the Lord is absolutely astounding. Although I may not be able to support them financially, I will support them with my time and with my prayers. I ask all of you who read this to support them with your prayers. Lift this family up and PRAY! So many of us forget about the difference that prayer can make so often, but as He said, He can heal the sick, give sight to the blind, let the lame walk, and provide to those that believe. For those of you that can support financially join the facebook group Step Up! for Marianne Johnson and see what you can do to make a difference. You CAN make a difference, you just have to have the faith that you can and believe.

- I would like to thank the Lord for all the incredible people He has put in my life! I cannot get over how blessed I am! I am not sure what I did to deserve such amazing friends and family, but I am beyond grateful!!! I cannot wait to have my best friend, Meghan, home for the summer. She will be home in a week and a half. Please pray for a safe trip home for her and her concert choir friends as they are on tour now!
- The Epic youth group at Hope Fellowship had a great turn out for the Flipped event last night with over 550 kids showing up! We had BMX bikers, free hotdogs, the Mavs drumline, and a great message! Never a dull moment at epic :)
- Went on adventure #2 yesterday to a little place called the French Cafe. The food wasn't bad, but it seemed a little overpriced. I have a feeling this experience will be pretty interesting this summer!

Hope yall are having a great week!!!

Praying for Marianne and for the Lord to provide for her and her family! Also, praying for Miracle Makers' growth!
