Some of you may have read my mom's blog http://www.iwilllearntofly.blogspot.com/
Which that is about my families struggles the last 3 years with my dad's job loss in 2006.
My name is Hannah. I am a 16 year old, senior in highschool, who loves God with all her heart, and just wants to honor Him in everything she does.
Let me give you a bit of my background and why I decided to start this Blog.
I've grown up in a christian family. It's all I've ever known. I accepted Christ when I was 7, and have grown in my faith ever since. There has been really hard times (2006 my dad lost his job) where I have started to walk away, but through those hard times I have realized I can't get through anything without Christ.
In the summer of 2005, I felt like God had called me into youth ministry. I have pursued that ever since. As I am now. Although, I know a little more clearly (but a little less clearly at the same time) as to what exactly he wants me to do. More on that later...
I'll get ideas of something to write about to talk to my youth group about. I'll post it on facebook instead of asking my youth pastor if I may speak. You see, I hate speaking in front of groups. It's just scares me. But I am learning to be more comfortable with it. I am more comfortable being on stage, with my guitar in hand and a mic in front of me. Why? I have no idea. But as the famous quote goes "God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called." I know that if it is what God wants me to do, he will find a way for me to do it. So I am writing this blog so I can put my thoughts on what God has been teaching me lately, and how I am getting through struggles in life. Because I feel like facebook isn't a big enough website to really get out how I feel about God, and life.
Right now, God is taking all my plans, tearing them up, and throwing them away. My plans were to graduate in the spring, go to the community college to get my gen. ed. out of the way, then go to Cedarville University in Ohio (amazing college!), and study youth ministry with a minor in music.
I went on a two month mission trip this summer to San Diego, I'll probably write a few blogs about that in the next coming months. Once I got home, God started changing EVERYTHING. Now I have no idea what I am doing. It's scary, but exciting at the same time! Im letting God take me wherever he wants me to go. Which will be hard to do, but I know it'll all be worth it in the end!
I hope you guys continue to read my blog, and that it encourages you in everything you do.
I'll be posting again here in the next few days, of something I have written recently about quiet times, why I feel they're important, and how to have a successful quiet time. Hope you guys enjoy!
~Hannah
