Day 1 of WCC!!!

Awwwwwwwww soooooooo the first FULL day of WCC...it was SUCH a blast!!! I started the day off by waking up at 5:30 am so that I could get dressed and my hair done while everyone was still sleeping...this is how I roll...to avoid traffic jams with everyone else in the room ANNNNNND so I  have the mirror ALL TO ME!!!

After I was ready I headed over to save seats for everyone in our group annnnnnd THEN I headed over to Starbucks!!!! Woot! Woot!!! Did you all KNOW THAT, Starbucks has SUGAR FREE mocha flavored syrup??? that was AMAZING news to me!!!  So I'm sitting there drinking my wonderful chocolateyness and a group of friends walk up  annnnnd I see its ERYNN!!!  Annnnnnd then I got to meet some friends from Oregean, (Sp?) Adriana Saucier, WHO we've been text buds already, buuuuut I got to meet her LIVE and in person but we NEVERRRRR got a pic together girrrrrl!!! Then I got to meet two other guys from there, one I forgot his name...buuuuuuuut I remet him again at Denny's...I like, reintroduced myself to him and he was like, Yeah, your Mary, I met you at Starbucks....I was like OH YEAH...I FORGOT...buuuuut NOW I forgot AGAIN!!! Oh annnnnd I met Caleb Wooten...Actually I met Luke(AKA: LukeeeeeY) Wooten too! WOOTEN...you guys seriousley is that like NOT the COOLEST last name EVERRRR??? To have the SAME last name as MY AIO HERO!!! All you girls out there, should try to marry one of these guys, JUST FOR THE LAST NAME!!! SERIOUSLY!!! LOLOLOL

THEN Anali texts me and tells me to COME BACK to the Radisson to hang out...soooo I walked back!!! Had some GOOD socializing with my friends before church....

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Then we walk over for prayer. We're about to start praying and Jen leans over to me and whispers, Mary do you have a tissue? I search my purse real quick, see that I dont have one and lean back and whisper, 

"No buuuuuuut I have some Splenda!!"

She's like, oh ok! And she's like about to start praying, when she leans back over to me and says, Did you just say, NO, BuT you have SPLENDA???" Im like, YES! She's like, that is like THE MOST RANDOMEST response! I'm like, WEEEEEELLLL...I HAVE IT!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! 

TRINITY!!!! 

LOOK WHO I FOUND!!! TAYLOR!!! YAY!!! Its been like FOREVERRR!!!

Awwwwww me and Kim Garrett RAMOS!!! Whoop! Whoop!!!

.

Me and Miranda...we KINDA matched!!! LOL

Anali, Ashlyn, Wendy, ME annnnnnd MY PURSE!!! Had to make sure it was IN the pic!!! Bettseyville...its my FAVORITE brand...basically cuz they're sooooo cuuuuuute!!!

MORE FRIENDS!!! VIvian, Rachel, Veronica annnnnnnd ME!!! (:

Sooooooo after a while, our group FINALLY decided on going to Elephant Bar to eat lunch!!! This is when the pranks started!!! LOLOLOL!!! Weeeeeeeelllllll anyone that knows Jen Connell, knows that she is a TOTAL PRANKSTER and EVERYONE is her VICTIM!!! Soooooo on the first day have arriving there, I made a beeline to her and Anali's room! Well, I see some pink papers on Jen's bed, I'm like, What are those? She's like, FAKE parking tickets! I do them to people ALL the time!!! I'm like, OOOooooo we sooooooooooo have GOT to get the guys from my church with that!!! I'm like, can I have one? She's like, oh you can have a bunch!!! I'm like sweeeeeeet!!!!

.

So On the way over to the Elephant bar Anali, YES, it was ANALI that remembered, Altho Jen WAS the supplier and I was the idea to who we should do this too, was like, HEY this would have been the PERFECT time to give the guys that fake parking violation ticket!!! Jen's like, OH but I forgot to bring them! I was like, Oh NO don't worry have the ones you gave me with me...

I put them in my Bible!

YOUR BIBLE???? YES!!! Thats right, IN MY BIBLE!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Sooooo as we drove we began to come up with a plan, I would be the one to fill out the ticket, since I have HORRIBLE handwriting and we all know that a police officer isn't going to have PRETTY or bubbly handwriting. Then we decided that while we were eating, Trinity and Bell would go to the bathroom together, since they were the youngest, they would most likely be the least noticeable to be missing...cuz I mean, it would DEFINATLEY be noticeable if MY MOUTH was missing for more than five minutes!!! BAHAHA!!!!Soooooooo we get to Elephant bar and WATCH to see where the guys park...THEN we just go and eat...

.

I got mongolian beef and Parmesian green beens...that I paid $2.95 extra for...YEs Joe, was there to remind me of how much EXTRA I was paying for them...LOL!!! Ok I like to try weird sounding things!!! LOL

We all had a good time talking and goofing off while we ate together!!! Okaaaaaaaaay this was a HILARIOUS MOMENT TO ME!!! So Joe and Anali are having a convo, annnnnnnd soooooo IF you know ANALI, she talks super fast and can say about 1000 WPM annnnnnd IF YOU KNOW JOE, he says about MAYBE 1000 words TOTAL in 24 hours!!! Sooooooo ANALI is talking and Joe is about to insert in about 2.5 words and Anali is like, WAAAAAAIT, WAAAAAIT,(Insert Spanish accent) please, JUST LET ME TALK!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!! I just like LOST IT!!! I was like, Yeah Joe, PULEEEEEEZE...just LET Anali TALK!!! Cuz YOU KNOW she NEVERRR gets too!!! 

Ooooooo annnnnnnd it was pure entertainment and hyperness at our end of the table. We had this little girl, about 11 years old sitting with us that was like, WILD!!! I think her name was Jocelyn!!! Buuuuuut she was like HILARIOUS!!! She kept like throwing stuff at Tommy from our church and Tommy's sooooo sweet to her he ACTUALLY paid her to stop! Buuuuuut she said to be his friend it was gonna be MORE MONEY!!! I was like NOOOOO don't give her anymore!!! LOL Soooooooo THEN she goes back to throwing stuff at him!!! Soooo finally I'm like, Jocelyn come here, annnnd I'm trying to be you know, motherly to her, I'm like whispering in her ear real nicely, Heeeeey lets NOT throw anymore stuff at him ok? Her eyes get ALL big as i'm whispering, she puts her hand over her mouth and says REAL LOUD, OH YOU LIKE TOMMY??? Noooooooooo WAY!!!!! We all just busted up laughing, I must say, it was a GOOD PLOY!!! I'm like, OK that was a GOOD ONE!!! The rest of the conference, EVERY TIME SHE SAW ME, even waiting in line at the bathroom, she'd be like, HEEEEEEY! HOWS YOUR BOYFRIEND??? I'm like, Whateverrrr, get outta here!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Then I met these really nice girls...buuuuuuut I can't remember their names....Buuuuuut I gave them blog cards...LOL...Jen was SUPPOSED to tell me but she hasn't responded to my text yet!!!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd THEN it was time to leave....which MEANT...we got to watch the guys get THEIR TICKET!!!! Oooooo us girls were like ESTATIC about it!!! We were all like about to lose it with laughter! Jen's like, lets like walk with them to the car to see their reaction! I'm like, YEAH, buuuuut isn't that gonna be suspicious??? I mean, SINCE when do we care enough to walk with them to their car...weeeeeeellllll...ASIDE FROM ANALI!!! ;))))) Soooooooo we walk over and JEn's like, HEEEEEY do you all wanna go get Starbucks? (They didn't! LOL!) Buuuuuut the still didn't notice it right away...sooooo we all just LEFT cuz we were like DYING and were about to lose it!!!

.

THEN THEY SAW IT!!! You shoulda seen them!!! They all got out of the car and were walking around the car LOOKIN and saying stuff!!! it was HYSTERICAL!!! I got pics OF COURSE!!!

Waaaaaaait... lets ZOOM in on them!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

.

It was just sooooooo HILARIOUSLEY FUNNNNNNY!!! By the time we got back to the Radisson they HAD actually figured out that it was a joke!!! I mean, IF you really read it, you KNOW that there is NO way it could be a REAL ticket!!!!  Like, since WHEN does a police officer give you a ticket for parking SELFISHLY??? That one was my absolute FAVORITE!!! I would sooooo be getting one of those right now IF they could!!! 

Okaaaaay here is THE ACTUAL TICKET...

When we got back to the Radisson annnnnnnnnd we were all hanging out in the Coffee shop and we showed Kevin the fake ticket, he takes one look at it and says very matter of factly, weeeeeeelllll FIRST OF ALL, it looks like a KINDERGARTNER wrote it out!!! I'm like HEEEEEEEEY!!! Watch it!!! LOLOL  

.

THEEEEEEEN we were all just standing around when Sis. Jones walked into the coffee shop!!! I'm like OH Sis. Jones!!! HI!!! (She has NO CLUE who I am!!! LOLOLOL) SHe's like Oh hi, or something like that! Annnnnnd I'm like, GOOD singing this morning!!! Cuz she sang in between the first and second preacher. She's like OH THANK YOU!!! I'm like, yeah, I was sooooo excited to hear that you were going to sing, I EVEN WAITED till AFTER you were done singing to go use the restroom!!! Everyone just like busts up laughing and she's like, OH well the Lord will bless you for your SACRIFICE!!!  Which made us all laugh more!!! 

.

THEN we all went on the elevator together....annnnnnnd GOT a cool pic!!! 

Awwwww me and my FRIENDERRRRS!!! 

THen the doors opened and NO one had to get off buuuuut I see Danae!!! I'm like oh Danae!!! We need a pic together!!!! LOLOLOL So we get a pic REAL QUICK then I get back on!!!

Then I went to my room annnnnnnnnnd got ready for evening service in like seriously 10 minutes!!! I was just like, whateverrrr....my hair STILL looks cuuuuuuuuuute soooooo WHY redo it???? I mean, WHY waste time getting ready when you can spend it SOCIALIZING???

Me and Ashlyn!!!

That night Bro. Lambeth preached annnnnnd OF course I can't leave out the famous quote of the conference, with his Brazillian accent, "Hello, I'm Kris! And I'm Mr. Whitikar!!!" Bahahahaha!!! Also, he got back at his fellow preacher friends really good cuz they had been giving him a hard time about preaching at WEST COAST CONFERANCE, he got back at them by giving out their ROOM NUMBER!!! I WAS LIKE, NIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

They got a pic of me on the balcony, I thought it looked really COOOOOOL!!! I think I look like a princess looking down from her....ummmm...SOMETHING...whateverrrrr princesses look down from I GUESS!!! BAHAHAHA!!!

Then I'm downstairs and Kevin texts me to LOOK UP!!! He was on the top balconys being SECURITY!!! annnnnnnnnnd I'm NOT sure WHY but he wore his yellow jacket half on and half off the WHOLE NIGHT!!! I guess basically cuz, THATS JUST KEVIN!!! LOLOLOL

FINALLLLLLLY its like BEDTIME annnnnnnnnnnd its like two in the morning by now, I'm drifting off to sleep WHEN I remembered that Bro. Lambeth had given out his friend's room number!!! I'm like, Heeeeeeey T! We should call that preacher's room!!! What was it? Room 404??? She's like,

"GO TO SLEEP!!!!!"

-Mary Frances :)

Did you know???

Sooooooo THIS past Saturday, a bunch if us got to church pretty early for prayer so we're jus hanging out! So I'm sitting on the floor of the foyer chit chattin with Janelle, Sarah and Stultz. 

.

So Sarah sits down on the floor next to me and as she is lowering herself to the ground she is like OUCH! I'm like what's wrong?!?! Sooooo she tells me that she did some new work out routine today and she was really sore from it! She's like I found out that I have muscles that I had NO IDEA there were muscles there!!!

. 

Weeeeeelllll ME, I don't wanna miss out on sharing MY excercise endeavor of the day also!!! Soooo I'm like, YEAH weeeeeelllll today my personal trainer had me doing dead lifts, so my legs and basically my whole body is really sore too!!! I'm like, soooooo yeah, I totally agree with you, we have muscles in places we NEVERRRR EVEN KNEW!!!

.

THENNNNNN... I decided to try and IMPRESS everyone with my incredible knowledge!!! Heh, heh!!! ;) I'm like, heeeeeeeey!!! Did you guys know that your heart is Actually A MUSCLE??? (Aperently, everyone ALREADY knows this!) Now I'm thinking about this, MY HEART, being a MUSCLE!!!

.

I'm like, HEEEEEEEY!!!! I WONDER HOW, you work out your heart??? I'm TOTALLY imagining in my mind, my cute lil heart lifting these lil weights!!! I'm like, hmmmmm... How would this work???

.

THEN IT HIT ME!!! I had this total moment of enlightenment!!! Working out my heart... It all clicked... I'm like, 

HEEEEEEEY, that's called like...

                    CARDIO!!!

Ahahahahahahahaha!!!! As soon as I said it I REALIZED, like, DUH MARY!!! Of course THATS HOW you work out your heart!!! Everyone like died laughing!!! I think i laughed the hardest tho!!!

She'll probably make me do EXTRA mountain climbers tomorrow or the dreadful...BIKE SPRINTS!!! JUST to ensure that I really DO KNOW, how to work out MY HEART!!! ;P

First night!

Soooooo the first night...Before walking over to the church i was hanging out with my buds in the lobby...Robby and Kevin!!!

Okaaaaaaaaaay sooooooo people were saying that i'm DIFFERENT then they imagine me to be!!!Anali even told me that people were saying that they don't expect me to be calm when they meet me and people were telling me that I'm more quiet and they expected my voice to be higher pitched...LOL...Idk what to say...I'm just ME!!! I know, my voice is kinda nasally huh??? With the slightest twinge of a NYC accent even tho I was raised in AZ annnnnd about me being quiet and calm...The truth is that, BELIEVE it or NOT, as a child I was VERY QUIET!!! Sooooooo even tho i'm a friendly, outgoing person, MY FIRST NATURE IS SHYNESS!!! I really had to push myself to get beyond that! Annnnnnd honestly, I don't ALWAYS talk, everything comes in RANDOMNESS...you just don't know WHAT to expect or what will happen next when you are with ME!!! Honestly, even I wonder!!! LOL!!! WHEN I start acting cRaZy or when I purrrr at you, thats a compliment...It means I'm COMFORTABLE with YOU!!! aNNNNNND Feel FREE to pass that quiet part on to my pastor...heh, heh!!! ;)

Of course I could NOT resist taking a picture with this lil box of chocolates!!!

Got Dark???? Yup!!! I couldn't resist!!! EVEN THO, Pastor's last parting words to me before leaving for WCC were that, "You might just need to settle for some WHITE CHOCOLATE Mary!"

 Oh YES Lord, give me a submissive spirit and obedient heart in this matter!!! ;)))) Iffen it be the Lord's will I'll take a white chocolate boo too!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!
.
Sooooooooo then we were walking around the property and they have all these cool things for the kids to do...

LIKE A FOUR STORY TREE HOUSE!!!

Sooooooooooo i'm a BIG KID!!!! Despite my brother's warning of them thinking that the steps couldn't hold me and that it was a steep climb, yada, yada, yada, etc...My sissy-in-law, Gracie poo and I, climbed to the fourth story!!! It was soooooooo COOOOOOL looking down at everyone!!!
.
So then everyone that climbs the tree signs their name or puts there name with whoever they like!!! Soooo of COURSE I had to do this TOO!!! I know, your probabley thinking NAME??? as in ONE and NOT plural??? NAMES??? Weeeeeeelllll... there is ALWAYS ONE NAME on my list that supercedes the OTHER TEN!!! BAHAHAHAHA!!! Okaaaaaaaay ACTUALLY, my list is pretty small right now...like ONLY FIVE NAMES ON IT!!! Any guy that has made it, should feel HONORED!!! Of course, its NOT like they'll everrrrr find out...UNLESS I marry them...BAHAHA!!! Hmmmmm...I WONDER who's NAME will be written up there in the tree, NEXT YEAR??? HMMMMMM...

Sooooooo Friday at WCC, a group of us went to this really cool resturaunt for lunch one day! I think it was called Tokyo Steakhouse, or something like that! Anywayz, it was one of those Asian places where they grill your food for you right there at your table! It was really FUNNNN annnnnd SUPERRRR GOOOOOOOD!!!! 

However, as I was sitting there watching our food being cooked, I thought, THIS WOULD BE THE COOLEST EVER KITCHEN TABLE TO HAVE WHEN I AM MARRIED!!! I mean, think about it, I would have one if my cutesy aprons in, with matching hair accessory, and my husband could just sit there in AW of me as I cooked for him!!! (Don't be rolling your eyes at me! I heard what Bro. Lambeth said at WCC, treat him like a KING annnnnnd he'll treat ME like a QUEEN!!! Soooo purrrrr;)

.

I would be like, ok Honey, here's your blueberry pancakes! Oh would you like bacon with your eggs Handsome? Here's your quesadilla baby! Eyes on ME as I make your grilled cheese!!!

*sigh!! Soooo ROMANTIC!!! ;)

 Okaaaaay OR REALITY might be more like,  okaaaaaay, EYES ON ME as I BURN your food!!! Hahaha!!! ;) 

I imagine him jus quietly sitting there, not saying anything, but one hand on the fire extinguisher... READY for a CLASSIC MARY MOMENT!!!! Bahahahaha!!! He'll just kinda nod his head as he puts out the fire, like, yup, I SAW THAT COMING! And I'll be like, HOW DID YOU KNOW??? Annnnnd he'll jus smile and be like, because, YOUR MARY!!! And I'll jus be like, PURRRRR!!! Yup, that's DEFINATLEY more likely what will happen!!

        Still equally as ROMANTIC!!! *sigh!!!

Lolololololololol!!! ;))))))

Teaching Toddlers!!!

Soooooo this past Sunday morning, I after getting home from WCC after 2:30 am, I arrived to church late and half dead!!! lol!!! I'm walking into the sanctuary and my pastor asks me if I'll teach my moms Sunday School class cuz she couldn't make it... I'm like, ummmm sure!!!

The bestest compliments!!!

I was recently given what I consider one of the HIGHEST compliments I could EVERRR want! I was at Target returning something, and as I walked a way from the counter, I heard a loud booming voice say, THERES A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OUT HERE???

.

I turned and saw a young man in work out clothes returning a bike. He didn't look in any way Pentecostal but had aparently had some sort of encounter with Pentecost, that part in of itself is another blog post, buuuuut what I wanted to talk about to nigh is how he said, THERE'S A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OUT HERE??? 

.

He didn't have to ASK me, are YOU Pentecostal??? He JUST KNEW by looking at me, that I was PENTECOSTAL!!! I like that!!! Sooooo often these days you'll see someone in the store or anywhere, annnnnd they KINDA look Pentecostal, buuuut you can't really tell, so you'll ask them. Are you Pentecostal? And then there are soooo many people that call themselves Pentecostal, buuuuut they LOOK LIKE THE WORLD!!! You can't tell the difference!!! When people look at me, I want them to SEE A PENTECOSTAL!!! 

.

I had this cRaZy stupid dream this one time that this person was like YELLING at me because I was like goofing off and I was like okaaaaaay cuz I wasn't even doing NOTHING, buuuuut I was STILL very polite to them in the dream!!! I was like, Oh I'm sorry!!! And they said to me in the dream, You know, your NOT acting VERY PENTECOSTAL!!! Annnnd when they said THAT to me in my dream, I was like, OH NO  YOU DIDN"T!!! You can say whatever you want to me! You can call me WHATEVER YOU WANT, buuuuuuuuuuuut do NOT call me UNPENTECOSTAL!!! That was THE LOWEST PUT DOWN YOU COULD EVER GIVE THIS 30-year-old!!!! I remember I was SOOOO MAD!!! I know it was just a STUPID dream, buuuuuut thats just the way I feel about this!!! 

I AM A PENTECOSTAL!!!

I LOVE BEING AND LOOKING PENTECOSTAL!!!! 

The NEXT best compliment I got was this past Sunday. I was at the apartment complex that i go to getting people to church and this lady, she calls herself the cRaZy white lady, she is like HILARIOUSLY wilid, loud and weeeeellll a LOT of other things, I havnt gotten her to church yet, buuuut I'm believing one day! I felt impressed several years ago to just show her love!!! So when she saw some of the kids that I was bringing to church and she says to them, OH your going to church with Mary? GOOD!!! Then she's telling the kids, pointing to me and saying, I'll tell you ONE THING about THIS WOMAN, she has the LOVE OF GOD ALL OVER HER!!!

.

When she said that I was just like AWWWWWW!!! That made me feel soooooo GOOOD!!! To know that someone, sees and feels the love of God on me!!! Thats one of the GREATEST COMPLIMENTS we could ever be given!!! That's my desire!!! That's what I want, TO BE LIKE JESUS!!!

Here comes my suitcase!!!

I was running errands for people today and one of them happened to be at Dillard's!!! So I'm with MJ going through the purfume department annnnnnnnd I had to stop and sample one of my new favorite perfumes!!! Viva La Juicy!!! Mmmm that stuff smells soooo GOOD!!!

Sooo I'm sampling, which means saturating my garments in it when one of my friends called. Soooo I'm exclaiming to her how good it is and she's like, are you gonna get it?! I'm like, yeah right!!! She's like WCC!!! I'm like, nooooo I'm not spending any more money I'm JUST SAMPLING!!! Then we're like, HEEEEY!!! Just go get my suitcase!!! Can you imagine?!?! Pardon me Dillard's!!! HERE COMES MY SUITCASE!!! Don't mind me as ALL MY CLOTHES, "sample" this Viva La Juicy!!! Lolol

God wants your bacon!!!

I was reading this the other day and it totally cracked me up...

.

[A pig and a chicken were walking by a church .where a gala charity event was taking place. Getting caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution.
.
“Great idea!` the chicken cried. “Let’s offer them bacon and eggs!"
"Not so fast,” said the pig testily. “For you, that’s a contribution. For me, it’s a total commitment!!!"]

.

It makes me think, how often do we just give God a CONTRIBUTION of ourselves. Yes, the chicken was given of herself, but it wasn't her everything. It was what she had produced that she was giving of. When the chicken gives her eggs, she may miss them, but at the end of the day she's still there, she's still alive, she's still breathing. 

.

On the other hand, for the pig to donate it's bacon, it was a total sacrifice. There was NOTHING else left once it gave the bacon. There is a difference between us giving God contribution of our self and really giving God OUR ALL!!!

.

 So often we sing the song, ♪♪I will give you all, I will give you all, IF ALL is what you ask of me, THEN I will NOTwith hold..."♪ Buuuuut soooo often we ARE with holding! There are parts of us that we have NOT really released to God and said I don't know whats going to happen, BUUUUUT I'm trusting IN YOU!!!! I'm going ALL THE WAY WITH YOU JESUS!!!
.
ABRAHAM GAVE GOD HIS ALL!!! The Bible says, 

"By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure." (Hebrews 11:17-19)

WHEN Abraham OBEYED God and gave him Issac it was MORE than just him giving up his son. You can say well it wasn't ABRAHAM sacrificing himself to God, it was his son! NO, you don't understand, Abraham had a promise from God that out of this son would come the many nations like the starts in the sky and the grains of sand. By obeying God and laying Issac on the altar, he was willing to give God back His promise. He was laying his own dreams on the altar as a sacrifice to God. However, Abraham trusted God and laid it all down...

"And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only sonfrom me. (Genesis 22:12)

.

When you give God your ALL, there is NO GOING back!!! Its NOT just giving God what you've produced of yourself, its NOT just a contribution of your eggs. When  You give God your ALL and  I mean REALLY GIVE HIM YOUR ALL, there is NO GOING BACK, because there is NOTHING left for you to go back too, because you gave it ALL to God. God doesn't just want WHAT you can DO for Him. God wants YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!!! 

.

♫♫♪And IF my sacrifice is LESS♪♫ than giving you my very best, help me remember Calvary's cost, and be willing to say yes♪♪♫♪

.

Think about it, when Jesus sacrificed himself for us; They beat Him! They spit on Him!!! The scourged him! He was whipped! He was mocked!!! He SUFFERED!!! He BLED!!! He DIED!!! HE GAVE US HIS ALL!!! And God did ALL THAT, HOPING that we would give him OUR ALL!!! He doesn't just want  your contribution...

 GOD WANTS YOUR BACON!!!

"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

(1 John 3:16)

If Mary was a nurse!!!

A blonde got a job at a local mall. On her first day she was late to work. Whe she arrives at work the supervisor asks her as she walks in the door.

“How come you’re late?”

“It was awful,” she explains. “I was walking down the street and there was this terrible accident. A man was lying in the middle of the street; he was thrown from his car. His leg was broken, his skull was fractured, and there was blood everywhere. Thank God I took that first-aid course; all my training came back to me in a minute.”

“What did you do?” asks the supervisor???

“I sat down and put my head between my knees to keep from fainting!”

Ahahahahahahahaha!!! Nope, I'm DEFINATLEY not feeling the call to nursing!!!
