A day that wont be forgotten...

Alright so last night at 2 a.m. I have a 2nd year come in and woke me up, handed me a letter, and screamed hurry up you have 10 minutes! I didnt know what was goin on! lol so my room mates and I stagger out into the hallway and the leaders are pissed! guys on one side of the hall, girls on the other. Totally silent. Then Shawn (He's been here since MC started) talked to us. We got dog tags that said MCDQ Masters Commission Dont Quit! We formed perfect lines, he left the room, turned the lights off, and left us in there for 3 hours. Pitch Black! Totally Silent. Standing straight up. 2a.m. till 5a.m. Then we headed out into the bus parking lot. (by this time half the girls are crying) The guys and girls split up into 8 teams. 4 girls teams and 4 guys teams. The guys have to push a truck with 2 guys in it up this big hill 5 times! While we did that the girls had to lay on their backs with their feet in the air! So after that I puked... Some people cried. I felt super sick just cause I gave 110% doing it! After that we got a muffin and one of those paper cups for babies of orange juice. We then went to this big hill tied together. There was about 15 of us! A kid named Colin... About 6'6 300 pounds did it with us also.. We had to go down and up 9 times.. At about 2 times we had to start carrying him! it was aweful. My legs we're beat. Theeeeeeen we got normal lunch. Then went to that same hill, blindfolded, and had to go through a maze. There we're a ton of ropes up and down, criss crossing so you constantly had to hook and un hook the carabiner. Not to mention about 50 guys were on this same course. It was hell! It took 3 hours to get done with it. The secret was, was just to ask for help. ERRRR!!!!!! After that we changed and walked to Hollywood.... Ya and its 10 miles away! All day long we werent aloud to talk. AT ALL! Not a word. So the walk there sucked. But then we spread out over the whole strip and at the same time kneeled and prayed for Hollywood and our city! It was so intense. People were asking questions and praying with us and praying for us. There was like 130 of us doing it. Totally shut Hollywood down and stole everyones attention for like 6 or 7 minutes. Then we walked back. And when we got back we had to carry everyone up that huge hill I was talking about. I helped carry 4 people and carried 4 people by myself. Totally over worked myself today! But it was for God and I had a good attitude all day. I also have to clean the floor laundry room. And I got 3 bills that I dont know how to pay for.. But God is good! :) I worked my butt off for 18 hours today! Woo Hoo! 

Santa Monica

Yesterday was my day off and I worked this microsoft convention from 6am till 8pm.. lol God is humbling me like crazy! Today pray and and worship was soo good! One thing that was really on my heart is how good my parents are to me! and my brothers and sisters! We have all messed up so much and hurt my parent's hearts! Yet they would still die for us and still do anything for us! It blows my mind God loves us even more than that! One of my goals this year is to Love Jesus even more than that.. Even though I dont know how that is possible. Its one of my goals.. But ya... Thats whats up! :)

Santa Monica

Man this week has been crazy! I dont know where to start and I know I'm gonna leave a bunch out.. Friday morning I was walking to the temple and this guy started talking to me. He started crying and asking if he could stay with me because he lost his job and his wife had kicked him out. So I brought him back to the Dream Center and he checked into Discipleship.. It was awesome to know I brought him here and I know its going to change his life. hmm what else. I have been looking for a good gym to do some MMA at.. I think I am goign to start breaking again. God is messing me up so much out here! everyday we have like... 10 hours of ministry. Every single day I meet with my mentor Tyree and he lets me know "in love" what I need to work on. Everytime we talk its like God smacking me in my face! lol I have crap that needs to come out that I didnt even know about! But its amazing knowing what i'll be next month and the month after that. One other awesome thing that happened just this morning.. This kid on my adopt a block site named Adrian was poking at me and I started to play with him and I was playing with his little sisters and what not. Today during worship he came and poked me on the back and wanted to stand next to me. It was so sweet. Everytime I would lift my hands he would. Everytime I would jump he would. Everytime I'd start my worship step he would too! lol I wish every leader would have some encounter like this.. It really shows how people watch you and how they look up to you. hmm... I found this thing called CHA CHA you text 242 242 and ask it any question and it will answer it for you. its great! and its free! I've been working this microsoft convention the past 3 days and tomorrow "my day off" I get to work it again! to make MC some money :) Jesus came to serve not to be served! lol I'm learning it! please leave me some more comments so I'll feel like people actually read this and I'll post more. :) Love you all verrrrry much! and I miss my momma!

Tracks

So today I chose my top 5 tracks that I want to be involved in. We get to do 3 out of the 5 that we sign up for! They are 1. Missions. 2. Production. 3. Orphans. 4. Outreach. 5. Youth. For the missions I will be going to Napal, or Mexico I believe. Napal is over by Asia! For production I will be doing dance and Drama. Then the orphans one we go to family's houses that are about to lose their children due to poverty and we take care of all their needs. The outreach is like random acts of kindness and just spreading the word of Jesus anyway we can! Youth is doing different things for the youth department! I figured it would be office work thats why its my 5th... We do our tracks monday Wednesdays and fridaysThey also put me into my small group today.. Which I'm in Damions which will be awesome! We have them 1 till 3 every thursday. We have a surprise tonight and we're leaving from 6 till 10 tonight.. I'm excited! Love you all! 

Holy crap have I been blindsided! My life has taken a 360 from where I was 2 weeks ago! Just to let everyone know I am at Masters Commission Los Angeles and it just started last friday. The devil did everything he could to keep me from coming. Now that I am here I'll try to keep everyone back home posted on what's going on with posts, videos, pictures, and whatever else I can. My schedule usually go's like this... breakfast 6:30-7:30 Monday's are off. Tuesday-friday we always have 1 hour of prayer, 30 minutes of worship, and a 20 minute devotional. Every Tuesday right after prayer we have to take our scripture test which I'll explain in a minute. Then we go to lunch 11:30-12:30. After lunch we have guest speakers Pastor Matthew, Brad, Kelly, and other pastors and people that have a big influence in the world. Tomorrow we will start our tracks which are the ministries we're going to be involved in. Media, Dance, Worship, Creative writing, spoken word, and a few more. We have small groups that will meet on thursdays for 2 hours. Thursday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning we ride the buses, do offering, parking lot security, usher, and anything else they need us to do. Saturday we have prayer for adopt-a-block from 9:30 till 10:30 then we go out to our sites until 2. We come home and watch all the kids in the cafe, gym, patio, and everywhere else they are. Then sunday we're basically off for now besides church in the morning. Soon we will be traveling to other churches putting on services. The scripture memorization. We will memorize 200 scriptures while we are here. Thats 7 a week. We choose a topic like Fear. Then we will have 7 scriptures that have to do with the topic fear. We have to have 2 reference scriptures for each, a definition of the topic and a adjective with a definition. Who, When, why, and where it was written. 7 lines on how it applies to your life. And the with all 7 each week we have to write out a 1 page devotional with our next weeks scriptures and topic so they can approve them. Discipline! They dont play any games here with the rules. If you get in trouble for anything you have to be in the "backstage room" at 5 a.m. until 8 a.m. the following day and the next Monday we have off your also in there from 6a.m. until 12 p.m. You face the wall in silence and write whatever scriptures they tell you to write for hours and hours. You will get it if you are late signing into anything, talk 1 on 1 with opposite sex, 2 on 2. or even 3 on 3. Dirty Rooms, bed not made, off your floor past 11p.m. Questioning authority is a big deal. hmm.. Thats most of whats going on in my life right now.. We have to work out 2 hours a week so I'm getting back into Parkour. I'll be coming home December 22nd until Jan 5th. I'll take a few videos of my floor and of my friends. Love you all!!! leave comments!
