I should really be in bed...sigh

So, I should really be in bed, but I was reading some blogs and I felt compelled to post. Acctually I just realized I hadn't posted today or yesterday so I thought I should.

For any of you that don't know, I work with the Sussex Wesleyan Youth Group. It is an awesome youth group, with awesome leaders and awesome teens, and an awesome sense of the Lords presence whenever we get together, and that's awesome (I realized a trend and decided to go with it..meh). Tonight was an awesome night - my girls acctually payed attention to the lesson rather than telling stories, they contributed to the discussion, we hit on some issues in our lives that we all need to work on, it was all around good. I was blessed by the worship band as usual. I love those guys! They rock out, and they are so real and on fire for God, it's great. As well, Matt Keith delivered an anointed message that hit the teens, and the leaders for that matter, right where we needed it. Ryan has very exciting news about this night but I'll let him share that with you. All I'll say is be on the lookout in Chapel tomorrow ( I guess it's today now :))

I also had a very interesting but good experience tonight. You may or may not know that since I've some to Bethany (and before really) I've struggled with knowing the plans God has for my life. I claim Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'" That's the easy part however. It's the fact that I never know the plan that is frustrating. I know I need to trust God, but as I'm sure many of you can attest to that is easier said than done.

So now you will know why I find what I'm about to say so amazing. After youth was done one of the leaders (and also my friend) came up to me and said that as she was praying I came to her and the Lord told her to tell me that I was suppossed to be a Music teacher. Now, I know you can't always go 100% on what other people say, but I do also believe that God uses godly people to speak through, and she is definitely a godly person, so I am wondering now what I should do with this information. It's kind of exciting that maybe I have just recieved my "mission" if you will, but then in another sense it doesn't seem possible that is could come so easily when I've struggled with it for so long.

I just remembered an interesting thing - I can be a little hard of hearing when it comes to God so I have often said that if he has something to say to me if he could please hit me over the head with it it would be much apreciated. Maybe the Lord indulged my request. How cool would that be? Does anyone have thoughts on this? Advice? Whatever.

Well, my night is fleeting fast and I already think I'm getting sick so a lack of sleep would only make it worse. That's it for me. Good night.
