Well, it has been quite a while since I have written anything on here. I guess there is so much that I could write, so much that I could say…that I almost can’t say anything at all without having to write on and on…but, I will try my very best and give a little update
)
My trip to Florida was wonderful…beautiful…and I was able to spend some time with people that I adore and love. We went to the beach almost everyday and ohh, how I miss it. The Lord has made some of the most beautiful things for us to enjoy and love…the oceans, the mountains…He is so good to us!
Right now I am working and trying to finish up school for this year. I am also trying to decide what to do about school next year…I have really been praying about going back to school instead of doing-it-on-your-own. Sometimes, doing-it-on-your-own isn’t always the best and I really feel led to go back to my previous school…so, I will wait and see, and pray
)
I’m also learning right now…that things take time…and with time, things change. The Lord has a season for everything. A time to cry, a time to laugh, a time to be silent…and above all else, He makes everything beautiful in it’s time. I feel like a new season has started in my life–a time to cling to my Jesus all the more. A time to be what a living example of what a Christian is supposed to be. Everywhere I turn, people are getting their pleasure and satisfaction from everything that this world has to offer. And believe me, folks, this world has things to offer–but in the end, it only leaves you empty. How I want to live a life the complete opposite of everything that I see around me. U n c o m p r o m i s e d. I want to fix my eyes on Christ and His unfailing love. This is what I want. I want Jesus Christ. I need Him. And so, in this season of life, I know that He has many things to teach me…and I am ready…..
Oh, He makes everything glorious.

Hi Arielle!
I almost feel like you wrote this for me. grins. You answered some of my (many…lol) questions. Will be praying with you, thanks for sharing your heart. Grace, peace, love and joy in Jesus. Oh, and I noticed (via myspace, that my E. likes Greg S. too!) and I didn’t realize he’s from here. We have some good homegrown musicians here, I forget sometimes.

Hi Arielle. Glad to hear that your trip to Florida was good. And it’s good to hear of your devotion to serving jesus without comprimizing to this world.

The Lord has created some beautiful things! I think children are my favorite… they are so innocent and beautiful and trusting. They hear about God’s love and His promises, and just receive it, without any doubt or distrust. If only we were all this way!
I hope your Malaysia meeting goes well! Blessings!
awesome pic

thanks for the update — praying for your meeting!!! God bless you and LIVE HIM LOUD

“How I want to live a life the complete opposite of everything that I see around me. U n c o m p r o m i s e d. I want to fix my eyes on Christ and His unfailing love. This is what I want. I want Jesus Christ. I need Him.”
Amen sister! That is my heart, simply Jesus!
Oh, what more can be said?
G L O R Y!
God bless you richly, I’ve been encouraged reading your posts. To see that there are young people out there who truly love Jesus! Amen.

Foundation of Faith Fellowship isn’t on google, in the phone book, nor in Gilbert Arizona. Check with the Chamber of Commerce if you don’t believe me. Saw this info on the net and checked it out for myself.
Too bad when Christians lie.
I like your photos

you make me proud, my love!!
hey girl… ok so i noticed that you are all about missions. that’s where i’m feeling a calling right now. the Lord, how great he is, has called me to graduate early and do missions for a year before i go to college.. what? i want to so badly but his vision for me is being compromised… the world is saying no. i hate it but i know his will comes in time.
saying that you want to live UNCOMPROMISED is amazing.. me too, me too..
love love, kels

I sure do miss the beautiful beach. What a heart felt prayer. There are many things that try to take our time, our passion, our money and our life. It’s a day and hour we all need to live uncompromised! Thanks for reminding us of what Gods us to be.
I sure miss the beaches as well. Glad you had a wonderful time.
Blessings, Monique
