September 12th, 2007- Kick off night for True North!
I started off my time with Jesus by asking for a life changing night for all of us; not just the kids. I think the main two attitudes of the youth are: I'm here for my friends or I'm here to do church. Only a very few of them, that I can see from actions, come because they are truly hungry and desire to know God intimately, more than anything. Even I have to stop and reprogram my brain after being caught up in the get in, get it done, get out. Why do I do it? For Jesus! Sure I know Jesus! I study him, I know what he like and dislikes, but do I know him?Intimately?
I begian reading a wonderful book by Tommy Tenny called The God Chasers this morning. I recommend it to any Christian.
I am growing my hair out to donate it to Locks of Love. It's an organization that makes wigs for cancer patients. I think it will be long enough to get it cut just before next summer. I found a nice style that will suit me just fine and I am counting the days. I was very hot this summer with my big mane to care for. I am blessed to work in a air conditioned building. I feel for Joel's Nature Perfect crew and I pray for them and my daddy while they are out in the weather. I remember last winter when it froze every night for a two week span. Joel would come in cold and wet every night and pray for the ground to thaw while the rest of us would pray for snow.
Here I go talking about snow again! I think I'll go eat a popcicle since I seem to have ice on the brain.

hey is your hair gonna be like elizabeth's? cause you said that you would cut your hair just like hers.see yea
I need to read that book soon, I've had it on my list for some time.
Hey, that's great about donating your hair, my sister did that once or twice. I wouldn't have ever thought about having to deal with long hair, the longest mine has ever been was about six and a half inches.
Knowing God intimately is the only option.
No my hair will be different 'cause I don't look good in red hair and I want something, 'me', if that doesn't sound very selfless let me explain. I don't want to shadow anyone my whole life. Not even someone I truely love and admire or even with something as small a deal as hair. I have a cute style in mind. not as short as Lizzy's (which means it will take me a while to grow it) and I was thinking of gold-toffee-carmel highlights. We'll see I'm not rich enough in money or hair, yet.
