wooo hooo 1st!!!im copy & pastin what i just said on sat(sun wasnt up yet & PL...its important...kinda...its what happened 2day...its long(whens it not) but PLEASEjust read

O MY GOODNESS PASTOR LEE!!!
Amanda's youth...2night...i CANT even come CLOSE2describin it...im SPEECHLESS...

It's SOOO dif than ours yet the same...2night was SOOO POWERFUL &...*takes deep breath*u just had 2 b there!

I got 2 c Amanda in rehersals & she is a good singer, we also sang flyleaf in the car on the way there-lol-

I've got pastor brians # & i think u should call & get 2gether w/him & talk about band stuff & how 2start us 1...they have 1 & it's AMAZING!!!& he said sumthin bout him & other youth pastors gettin 2gether the 1st thur, of every month & talkin bout things & makin activities & stuff(kinda like what u do w/sunshine sumtimes)

&what u have in mind 4our youth group 2become, is what they almost r & u said u wanted ideas on how 2 get there...he's the man & those meetings r it!!!

I learned SOOO much 2 night i dont have nearly enough time or the words 2 do it justice...but 1 of the songs was bein played while a woman talked & it had alot of us in tears...even me...who doesnt cry much...amanda was down at the alter(as well as over 80%of the kids in there) & we cried 2gether & prayed...

but it wasn't like ANY OTHER TIME...(the cryin, ur thoghts, etc)it was dif & there was sumthin SOOO special about 2night...i cant describe my thought process of what i was thinkin cuz i thought SOOO much...& it was a simple message & simple things that were said, but they had such a HUGE impact on me & every1else!!!

& me & amanda r goin thru the same struggles w/givin everythin up, sum of hers r dif than mine, but MOST the same & we know EXACTLY what eachother's goin thru & we dont have 2 say a word we just...KNOW!!! &i think 2night...i think God wanted me2go...

cuz 2night touched me like NO OTHER IVE EVER EXPERIANCED...it was the message...it spoke STRAIGHT 2ME...it was about struggles & lettin go...about how God doesn't want what u can DO...he wants YOU...he doesnt want 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of ur heart...he wants ALL...& that alot of ppl go 2him2give him our sins & burdons(4him 2 take away) & be there 4 when things r bad...but he doesnt want JUST that...he wants u 2 come 2 him even in the good...he wants US...ALL OF US...& what i said NOWHERE NEAR GAVE 2NIGHT JUSTICE...i tried...

but 2night made me realize...amanda is SOOO special 2 me & i think cuz me & her r strugglin w/ALOT of the same issues&our destructive past...i think he brought us 2gether 4 a REASON...not just ANY reason...sumthin SPECIAL...BEYOND our wildest dreams...i believe he brought us 2gether 2help eachother out &b eachother's guidence...i KNOW he wants us 2 make a difference...not just any difference...aHUGE 1!!!

I've been prayin day-in-day-out 4 sum1...a friend like her...sum1 2 help me out & hold me accountable...&he delivered her...She's SUCH a blessing 2me & i realized that 2night when we held eachother's hands&put our heads on eachothers shoulders & cried...every amen we said in unison when sumthin SOOO true was said...our IDENTICAL answers when sumthin was asked...She's ment 2hold me up & im ment 2hold her up...&i believe we'll rise 2gether 2 make a difference in SOME way or another!!!

u wanna talk about a GREAT GODLY friend...she's it...u guys...it's ppl like HER we gotta surround & consume ourselves with...not the 1's who r gonna hurt us or tear us from god...

we must TRULY deny OURSELVES b4 we can TRULY accept Christ...we need 2 quit givin him just a PIECE of us...he wants the WHOLE thing...it's not enough just 2 get in the word, do good acts...what he wants is what NIKE says...JUST DO IT!!!2night we talked about how 2SURVIVE in a world that is FALLING...JUST DO IT...Don't listen 2burger king(have it UR way)no offence amanda-lol-(she works there)the only way is 2show it...

its not enough2"believe" & walk around...like...bein 2faced...like that bottle of water...clean on the OUTSIDE but NOT on the inside...we need 2 b clean in & out...like pastor lee says...we need 2 b HOT ON FIRE...not luke warm...where i KNOW is where MOST of us stand...i know ur sick of hearin it...but SURRENDER UR ALL...NOT parts...

look...I did it, & it brought me an AMAZING(yes...its so amazin it gets a G...u no, cuz i never put G's at the end of my words...) friend im SOOO blessed2have in my life who holds me accountable...i have a TOTALLY new outlook on life, im happy in SOOO many ways, i have a boyfriend who cares ALOT & ISNT like others& is the kinda guy ur rents want u 2marry & have kids with!!!THAT DIDN'T JUST COME ON IT'S OWN!!!

When i put ALL my trust in Christ & gave him my ALL...i got ALL this...& just like Jesus sad 2 the man under the tree...if u think THIS is amazin...wait til u see what's 2 come!!!i've JUST begun & look at how blessed i am! If i continue...what am i sayin IF 4???...AS i continue 2 stay faithful, he'll bless me in SOOO many other ways...

i know u guys r scared2 say goodbye 2 things or ppl...but it's worth it!!!i gave up sumthin i've been accostumed 2 for TEN YEARS!!!(i wont say)u can do it!!!

Theres only 1 way in2hell & there's NO exit...i love ALL of u guys 2death, & DON'T wanna c u fall short of the glory of GOD...give it up...take a leap of faith...Christianity is all about in havin FAITH right...if u have enough faith 2believe in GOD...than have believe that the guy u have faith in wont let u fall!!!

like this passage says w/the shepherd...there's ONE way in2 the house & that's thru the shepherd himself...after all Christ has done...givin up sumthin is the LEAST we can do...

GOD BLESS EACH & EVERY1OF U!!! & i pray that he gives u the strength & courage 2 overcome ALL burdons...& help u w/anythin that pops up...w/christ on ur side ur still gonna face challenges...but w/him on ur side...u can just ignore them & overcome ANYTHIN that stans in ur way...u can do ALL things thru christ who strengthems u...as long as u...

JUST DO IT-lol

i love u all &may god b w/all of u...goddnight taters

LOVE, brooke

Yeah it was really fun josh and I loved the football game! Except that Gareth is good at everything and he catches every ball that comes to him and jukes everyone!

Today in Sunday school Pastor lee preached about how were are referred to as sheep because were are dumb, I'm not trying to be funny thats the real reason. Jesus is our Shepard because he protects us and guides us to were we need to go because if it wasn't for him we would walk right into sin. He sacrifice his life for us and thats is amazing because if you think about it who would sacrifice their own life for a sheep! He loves us that much
