who are you living for?

This weekend was jam packed! We were having an Easter carnival on saturday and a service that night, followed by 3 services on sunday.
We had been praying for 1000 people to come to services over the weekend; the Lord provided... we had 1,077!
We had also been preparing for 1000-2000 people for the Easter carnival, although final numbers will never be known, we had around 7000 people! 53 people accepted Christ! It was intense.

Did i forget to mention that we were dropping over 15,000 candy-filled eggs from a helicopter?

It was amazing to see so many people! More importantly to get to show them the love of Christ. We had games for all ages...three-legged race (there is an ambulance in the back.. a think a lady went into labor and we had a few people "pass out.")

and 7 inflatables

I was originally incharge of popcorn..until the machine broke, as the line was growing :( BUT, casey, me and steph still had a great time!

So i ask, who are you living for? There are only 2 options: God or Satan. The amazing thing is, you get to CHOOSE!

I can say that it is amazing to be apart of something that is so much bigger than me, to become close to Christ and actually hear him talking to me!
I <3 you Desperation Church!

How is it that 6 months seems so short and so long?

I am in an amazing season of life. It's weird most days and I do not understand the plans the Lord is making, but that is okay. The Lord has timing. This morning as I sat in church, Andy Heis spoke about enjoying THIS time that God is moving in and do not spend all your time and energy looking back or looking too far forward. And at this moment, I am great. Sure things will change and move and explode and calm again, that is life folks. Almost 2 years ago I was originally nominated for the Humanitarian Award, that I was blessed to win 18 months later. The National Obesity Foundation is ran by almost all volunteers and they had a large turn over and my paperwork was lost in the shuffle. Lucky for them, I am persistent and assertive. I called and emailed and called and emailed until I spoke with Mike Panas, who helped me tremendously. As you know, I won that award and had Gastric Sleeve surgery in June, 6 months ago. I cannot say that I wished it would had happened sooner and I cann...

so

so, if you know me, you know that i ask a lot of questions. i seem to wonder about things that no one thinks of.. i will share my most amazing thoughts on here. maybe if you have thoughts, you can respond; if not, it just feels good to get it out. example. why does nabisco continue to make "regular" oreo's, when they have double stuffed? i mean ,why would you not purchase the double stuffed, it's so much better!

Can you please get off my yoga mat?

So this past week, narcolepsy has been winning. I have unintentionally taken a few 3-4 hour naps over the past week. Now before you say, "you're so lucky, I would love to nap." I do LOVE to nap, I love to intentionally nap. You know, to turn on the fan and turn off the lights, put pandora on and set a sleep timer :) yes. But when I sit down to work on a research paper and wake up FOUR hours later, it is no fun. My sleeve (Gilbert) does not always absorb my medication correctly, some days he wants me to be useless and sleep all day. On Tuesday, I again slept through my planned gym schedule. So to show Gilbert who is boss, I grabbed a jump rope and my yoga mat and walked out into a little piece of heaven, on Brunner Street. If you know Sandy, she likes to get unclose and personal. In this photo, she was technically not on the yoga mat, but she had been! I jumped rope first. Here is Charlie, being all cool. It was a good quick workout, and it reminded me, that I ca...

I ask a lot of questions.
