Its amazing how much you rely on something!
Last night I left my bible ( and purse with no wallet) at church! I got home and realized it wasn't in my car and went into panic mode, my bible is a HUGE part of me and I was feeling weird without it.
After hanging out with Friends I got a text saying that a friend has my bible, fewf! I arranged to pick it up today at some point and I thought i was good..NOPE! Going to bed was SO weird.. Usually I will read my bible, do my devotions and go to bed at peace. NOPE! I was able to do some devos and pray but that major part of my routine was gone. This morning, Im used to waking up and having time with God with my bible... NOPE! It wasn't here.. I felt SO lost.. SO empty.
It just makes me think about how much God fills us! How lost and empty we would be without him in our lives. Its amazing how much once you accept it the holy spirit fills you.
So, in my time of no bible, I found my self doing alot of praying and looking up verses on line... It was definitely a different God time.. but it was SO good:)
So today I ask, What do you do to fill your self? Are you a bible reader? A prayer person? A surrounding your self in other believers? Evangelizing?
Today I pray that you try something new! Go out of your box! Work on Memory verses!
Till Next time.

Valentines Day
Valentines Day,
What does it mean?
For Some, It means Lets show that special person MORE attention and give a little gift, or spend extra time together
For Others, It means a slap in the face, a haha your single, a cause to be depressed
For Others, It means yes, I am single but thats ok... I can still show people that I appreciate them ect
For others, It means they are sitting back watching the couples wishing they were there..\
For Others, It means just another day.
For me? Im not sure... I dont hate the day, but I dont look forward to it.. In a relationship or out of a relationship. This year? Im single! Its great! I am celebrating my love for God by going to Campus Alpha with a bunch of friends:) I am planning on spending extra time with God!
In respect to Valentines day, I am reminded that I need to surrender my heart to God. He is the one who will make the proper decisions in my life:)
What do you think of Valentines day? Any plans?
My prayer for you is that you will be HAPPY, whether you are single or in love or in a new relationship, Give it to God. God will help you be HAPPY
Thanks Guys, Till next time

God Using me when im not strong
So this week has been ROUGH!
About two months ago, Missions appeared on my heart. I say that it appeared because I am not sure if God put them on my heart or it was just me wanting to go on them. After doing a lot of praying and thinking I decided to look into it last week. I was able to make connections and send off a few emails getting more information about potential places! Honduras seemed as thought it was going to be my best fit and I would be going there from August-June! How sweet right? I was SO excited. I booked a doctors appointment the Monday that just passed, Drove back to Guelph thinking wow, this is really happening! I had people around me praying ect.
Well, I get to the doctors and I see a flyer for the Travel clinic. ( Is this a sign? I think??) so I grabbed it! When it was my turn to go to into the doctors ( He is also christian) In my super excited voice I said I want to go on a missions trip "Absolutely not" he answered... at this time you see my heart get ripped out of my body, and stomped on numerous times.
( I am going to bring you back a few years, about 3 years ago when ever I coughed, sneezed laughed to hard I got really dizzy! and felt nauseous for a while. After going to the doctor, he said its something called Chiari Malformation meaning that the spinal fluid is not circling around my brain and the pressure is making me dizzy. So in September 2009 I had an operation on my brain to cut a hole between my spinal cord and skull a bit bigger) . The potential of a shunt is very high as they think that the operation didn't work. On Monday at the doctor he said that if I go to Honduras I have high odds of having a relapse and as of right now he thinks I am 99% healed and don't need the shunt. But a relapse may force the shunt).
Heart broken and upset I leave the doctors office.. Asking God what now? Why would you do this to me? What did I do to deserve this? After talking to friends ect.. I have learned that God Definitely has a plan and to make CANADA my mission field.
Big Church did a blog this week about resetting your brain. What do you do to reset your brain? I thought it was pretty cool that I read it because I definitely needed my fire to be relit, my brain to be reset after this week. I hung out with friends for the past two days and my fire was relit but my brain still wasn't reset. Today I decided to go for a walk. I posted on facebook what happened so I am just going to copy and paste it :
God is Good!
I am baking cookies for small group tonight so I decided to walk to Zehrs! Well that is about a 3km walk there and back! On my way there I was crossing the street and witnessed a car accident, No biggies right? Well, the lady was crying and complaining her neck was sore. The guy went to get his info from the car and in that time I asked if I could call anyone for her.. " I am coming from the hospital, My husband is not well, I was going to get my overnight bag" the older lady answered. Then without any hesitation, I asked if I could pray for her and her husband! With a shocked face she answered YES! So her and I prayed on the side of Grove Street for her neck, her husband, the other man in the accident ( he wasn't hurt) and peace for there family!!! GOD IS GREAT! Even though I wasn't feeling upto the cold walk, I still went and look what I was able to do).....At that time the man came back and they both agreed to just exchange info ( There was BARELY any damage) I told her it would be wise to get her neck checked out and gave HER my number told her to call me when she got home safely and we were all on our way. I carried on my way to Zehrs got the stuff and walked home...all in reflection about how much I love our God!
God not only reset my brain, but he allowed me to bring the word out to others. I have NO idea if that lady was christian, She never did say, But i was able to show her that HE is healer, and he has helped lots of people.
My brain? Yup, Its been reset:)
Also, To go with the missions dream...about two weeks ago, a few friends and I had a prayer night. While I was praying for a word from God about direction, the word GO came to me.. Any ideas what that could mean? Missions was on my heart that day of course, so I assumed thats what it meant. Monday night I was talking to a friend and she brought GodVine.com to my attention. The very first video I watched was this one :
My prayer for you today is that you will look at the big picture, If something is on your heart, make sure God put it there, and remember that it could mean lots of things..
What do you do to reset your brain?
Till next time,
Laura

God will do what he has to do to Get the word in me!
Have you ever drove down the street and saw a sign and thought more about it? Or saw a sign and related it to your own life? Friends and I have been talking about signs talking to us, whether a sign means a road name, A fortune cookie, an ad, a road sign, or a store name! We fully believe that is God talking to us! I was driving to Orillia this morning to help out a friend and of course, Life 100.3 was on the radio and so I was in total God mode. Just before the exit for Orillia off the 400 the sign read " Be a safe operator, check truck daily" as much as yes I understand thats very important for truckers to do, Its also VERY important for Christians to do in every day life. Its amazing how God uses every day signs to talk to us! Here, Let me break it down:
Be a safe operator : Be a good/safe Christian
Check Truck Daily: Check Bible/In with god daily.
Just a small reminder that spending time with God each day will allow us to be 'safe' with God and grow to be more like him:)
Be a safe operator : Be a good/safe Christian

Today I pray that you open the eyes of your heart, Let God talk to you through the unexpected:)
Till next time, God Bless
He can move a mountain! He is Mighty To save!
Im so sorry! Its been awhile. I was building my roots here in Barrie! I am loving it SO SO SO much! I have found an AMAZING church and the friends I have met here are WONDERFUL. GOD IS GREAT! God has been speaking to me in SO many ways laitly, and I have been posting them on my facebook.. But I thought Id post here for the day that someone who I dont have on facebook will read my blog and think wow...God has saved her!
The first was through music, this is what I said last night:
Do you ever feel like you are on fire for God? Since I got home tonight until now when I just put my bible down I have been in his word, praying, reading, thinking, singing.... Everything! Its amazing! This song has been in my head today, and I have been sharing quite a few songs so I thought about why not one more!
Isn't it amazing "Savior, He can move the mountains!!" He is capable of EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING!! Lets live to be HIM lets live to be like HIM, After all Genesis 1:26 God Said " Let us make man kind in our image, in our likeness" We are capable! We can move mountains! We are mighty to save! My prayer for you all on my facebook is for you to Shine your light! Let the whole world see!
The song is mighty to save, Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69_ejR__yHg
AMEN! ...wew! Thank you Jesus!

Gods on the Radio
Today a friend was having a hard time with family ect..So I told her we were hanging out for the afternoon! Well...Our afternoon turned out to going to ikea! Buying a couch! ( $149!! How can you go wrong?!) and then bringing it to Barrie!
On the way there we talked about EVERYTHING we laughed, we went quiet, we had a good time! We both know the Christian Radio station out that way is 100.3, and I was reminded that we could turn it on when we hit just before Vaughan.
While we were driving, the radio personality kept bringing up Ephesians 4:26: "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry" and part of our conversations were about solving problems before moving, or going to bed!
While also in the car, a lot of the songs spoke to us! Unfortunately I cant remember the names of the songs or really what they were saying but they were just about things that we could relate to!
Its amazing what God will do to let you know that he is there, He loves us no matter what mountain we are climbing and how tall that mountain is!
So today I pray for all of you, anyone who has an issue going on in your heart, turn on the radio, listen to music, preferably a christian station or CD....Let me know how God Talks to you!:)
Till next time,
Laura! God Bless!

First post....
So, I find my self here again. Sitting in my bed, with a box of kleenex and a cup of neo citron... I have a cold!:( ... That was just an intro Im not sure why!
With the new year I made one of my plans to journal more... But then I thought, Why not journal where people can hold me accountable? I have alot going on right now and my anxiety is out the window! Why not reach out for some support?
Heres a bit about what has happened in the past bit
November: We lost Grandma Hannah, She will always be one of my angels in heaven. That lady is probably one of the most stubborn people! She held on for soooo long! Until her and God were ready to be together! Papa, I am sure you are already being bothered about the stains on your shirt!
December: Christmas! Great time! Aiden and Owen were cute as always!:) Family wise.... This is the month that I announced my big move. I am 22 years old and im definitly over stayed my welcome at my parents house.... Its time to move out! Distance wise they are not ok with but I feel like the distance will be enough to give me some time to grow in my faith and for them to grow closer together.|
January..Please stay tuned...
My prayer today? Free my anxious mind...“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
