i love how God gives us other people who love JESUS,

people who you can pray with,
and just accept and claim their words as your own,

the way it brings you closer with them and with God.

tonight we had a JESUS group, where we just prayed together.

me, madpal, travis, cameron, bryce, and gustavo.

and it amazes me how someone elses prayer to God can just be exactly whats on your heart too,

how we all pray to the same God,

have different lives and different problems,

but are still able to relate together on such another level,

a level of communication with our God.

wow.

Lord of the Rings

Its like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy?
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?
But in the end, its only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't.
they kept going because they were holding on to something.

Dear, Woodland

This commitment isn’t going to be easy. When JESUS committed to changing the world, He had to suffer and die before He had His victory. JESUS never gave up.
He didn’t stop when the flesh was torn from His back
when He was so whipped He was unrecognizable
He didn’t stop when a nail was hammered into his wrists and feet
when He was thirsty and tired
He didn’t stop when blood ran into His eyes from the thorns digging into His head
He didn’t even stop when a person in His same position mocked Him..

He finished what He committed to doing. I highly doubt we will experience that kind of suffering.
but WHY WOULD WE NOT DO EVERYTHING.. IF IT WORKS.
JESUS did that to change the world, why would we expect to do any less to change woodland..

Dear, Woodland

Dear Woodland,

I write this letter for you. My name is Elizabeth. I am a girl that hang out with a group of silly, goofy, crazy, knuckleheads. JESUS has my heart, and i will never stop searching for His. I love reading the Bible. His word gives me so much more life. I love worshiping Him too. I am a part of a group that loves eachother and everyone else.
the reason I am writing you this letter is because I refuse to ignore the death I see all around me. the life I have can no longer bare the pain of loneliness and discouragement. I am tired of leaving so much change up to chance. So I am going to do something.

I am refusing to believe the lies of this town, I know truth
I am through with compromise, I want change
I will never settle, my worth is proved by His blood
I am done with defeat, my God is for me

I don’t care what you may think, or say, or do, the Holy Spirit leads me.
and right now, I am being led to cause chaos in the middle of this comfort. I have a passion that can shake darkness. And woodland… im not alone.

Love,
Elizabeth
