Okay.....God's new calling for me has had me EXTREMELY motivated.....I created a facebook group. "Gays, Lesbians and Transgenders AREN'T GOING TO HELL."
Okay, Christians....bring on the problems.
(Lately, I have been very compassionate about the persecution that the homosexual community has been through, created by Christians who, essentially are afraid of them)
God has called me to help this group of people also.
So I am starting on facebook.

2nd Calling of God
Okay....most people that know me know that God has called me to be a missionary to Deaf people. That was a very interesting calling...he silenced my ears for a minute so all I could hear was God talking, then I could hear the world around me again.
But Thursday, God also called me to help another group of people that are persecuted by Christians...homosexuals.
I knew that God was interested in me helping them, but I thought in a minor way...God wants me to help them in the same manor that I am going to help the Deaf...which I think is actually going to be more of a challenge than helping the Deaf.
For many years I have been taught differently about homosexual people.
But through prayer and talking to God and praying...He has been telling me differently than what I have been previously taught...and its so heart -breaking to see how the Christ-like people are treating these people....SO UNCHRISTIAN-LIKE.....It makes God's heart break... :'(
So I vow to do everything I can, not only for the Deaf, but for the homosexual community and show them the LIGHT God has...and sadly, not the "Christians" are the WORST EXAMPLE EVER when it comes to the topic of homosexuality.
God bless you guys!

Continuation of Lent Bible Readings
Even though I haven't blogged everyday of what I haveread for Lent....I am very proud that I have been reading at least one chapter...except of course, Day 3. But anyway...
Exodus 7: Aaron's Staff Becomes A Serpant/A Plague of Blood
Exodus 8: A Plague of Frogs/A Plague of Gnats/A Plague of Flies
Exodus 9: A Plague Against Livestock/A Plague of Festering Boils/A Plague of Hail
Exodus 10: A Plague of Locusts/A Plague of Darkness
Exodus 11: Death for Egypt's Firstborn
Exodus 12: The First Passover/Israel's Exodus from Egypt/Instructions for the Passover
Exodus 13: Dedication of the Firstborn/Isreal's Wilderness Detour
Exodus: 14: Israel's Wilderness Detour/The Egyptians Persue Israel/Escape Through the Red Sea
Reading Exodus again (something I haven't done in afew years...yes, I said years) I've noticed how God called Moses and although Moses did it with an exception (hopefully I won't) God still did AMAZING things for His people.
I am just honored that God, out of all the people who could have helped the Deaf people, that He chose me to be able to do it. (Yes, a HUGE responsibility....but it won't be me by myself.)
Lately, I have been doing some thinking,and there is a HUGE conflict in my personal beliefs, that contradict that other Christians have taught me...
What I was taught: Homosexuals go to hell
What I believe: Homosexuas don't go to hell...unless they don't accept Jesus as their savior...the Bible has never said "Homosexuals will go to hell"....although it is something that God points out that he just doesn't like.....He also just doesn't like sin.....and sin is all the same to God....so back to where we started from.....we all deserve Hell... (take some time to read Romans 3)
My point being...there is no reason why God would pick just one group of sinners to specifically go to hell. Yes, God expresses how much he doesn't like that...considering that He make us to "fit" a specific way.
And theway Christians treat them.....so sad :'( No wonder they don't like us.....we treat them so low!! (NOT WHAT CHRIST WOULD HAVE DONE)
What I was taught: Mormons are Christian
What I believe: I'm not so sure they are....yes, granted they do MUCH GOOD when it comes to helping others...but the Bible says that "fath is NOT by works alone." And the work that is done in the Mormon "Church" is for the benefit of the Mormon's soul. From my understanding of Mormon's and their work is that they do all these things for others so they can get into a better level of heaven so they can have more "spirit babies". First of all, there is no time in heaven to "get busy", it is spent worshipping the God that created us. So, I don't think that Mormon's are Christian.....and I know that a few of my Mormon friends think that I am going to Hell because I am not a part the Mormon church.
I know there are going to be people that are going to read this a be REALLY offended at my personal beliefs...but that's okay....I am taking a different approach to my faith.......LOVE THE SINNER AND HATE THE SIN..........although it is going to be hard...that's what God does.
God bless you all!

Lent 2010: Days 5-6
Exodus 5-6 (New American Standard Bible)
Exodus 5
Israel's Labor Increased
1And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, "(A)Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, '(B)Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.'"
2But Pharaoh said, "(C)Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and besides, (D)I will not let Israel go."
3Then they said, "(E)The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword."
4But the king of Egypt said to them, "Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your (F)labors!"
5Again Pharaoh said, "Look, (G)the people of the land are now many, and you would have them cease from their labors!"
6So the same day Pharaoh commanded (H)the taskmasters over the people and their (I)foremen, saying,
7"You are no longer to give the people straw to make brick as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8"But the quota of bricks which they were making previously, you shall impose on them; you are not to reduce any of it. Because they are (J)lazy, therefore they cry out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'
9"Let the labor be heavier on the men, and let them work at it so that they will pay no attention to false words."
10So (K)the taskmasters of the people and their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, "Thus says Pharaoh, 'I am not going to give you any straw.
11'You go and get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, but none of your labor will be reduced.'"
12So the people scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13The taskmasters pressed them, saying, "Complete your work quota, your daily amount, just as when you had straw."
14Moreover, (L)the foremen of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, (M)were beaten and were asked, "Why have you not completed your required amount either yesterday or today in making brick as previously?"
15Then the foremen of the sons of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16"There is no straw given to your servants, yet they keep saying to us, 'Make bricks!' And behold, your servants are being beaten; but it is the fault of your own people."
17But he said, "You are (N)lazy, very lazy; therefore you say, 'Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.'
18"So go now and work; for you will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the quota of bricks."
19The foremen of the sons of Israel saw that they were in trouble because they were told, "You must not reduce your daily amount of bricks."
20When they left Pharaoh's presence, they met Moses and Aaron as they were waiting for them.
21(O)They said to them, "(P)May the LORD look upon you and judge you, for you have (Q)made [a]us odious in Pharaoh's sight and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us."
22Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, "(R)O Lord, why have You brought harm to this people? Why did You ever send me?
23"Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, (S)and You have not delivered Your people at all."
Exodus 6
God Promises Action
1Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for (T)under compulsion he will let them go, and under compulsion he will drive them out of his land."
2God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am (U)the LORD;
3and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as (V)God Almighty, but by (W)My name, [b]LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.
4"I also established (X)My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they sojourned.
5"Furthermore I have (Y)heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.
6"Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, '(Z)I am the LORD, and (AA)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage I will also (AB)redeem you with (AC)an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
7'Then I will take you (AD)for My people, and (AE)I will be your God; and (AF)you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8'I will bring you to the land which (AG)I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and (AH)I will give it to you for a possession; (AI)I am the LORD.'"
9So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on (AJ)account of their despondency and cruel bondage.
10Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11"(AK)Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the sons of Israel go out of his land."
12But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, "Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; (AL)how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am (AM)unskilled in speech?"
13Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
The Heads of Israel
14These are the heads of their fathers' households. (AN)The sons of Reuben, Israel's firstborn: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.
15The (AO)sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon.
16These are the names of (AP)the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari; and the length of Levi's life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.
17(AQ)The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families.
18(AR)The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel; and the length of Kohath's life was one hundred and thirty-three years.
19(AS)The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.
20(AT)Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram's life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.
21(AU)The sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.
22(AV)The sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri.
23Aaron married Elisheba, the daughter of (AW)Amminadab, the sister of (AX)Nahshon, and she bore him (AY)Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
24The (AZ)sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.
25Aaron's son (BA)Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him (BB)Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' households of the Levites according to their families.
26It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "(BC)Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their (BD)hosts."
27They were the ones (BE)who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.
28Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
29that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "(BF)I am the LORD; (BG)speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you."
30But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am (BH)unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?"

Today, as I was driving home from my Symphonic Band class, I was worshipping God with my stereo just about as loud as I could stand it, God wanted me to slow down to 55mph (I was driving on the freeway). God wanted me to worship Him for an extra couple of minutes....and I can't blame Him....lately, my only worshipping has been driving to and from school and to work....pretty much only when I drive and at church. This Lent I am trying to spend more time with God.
God Bless you guys and this week, try to get extra time with God.

25Aaron's son (BA)Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him (BB)Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' households of the Levites according to their families.
26It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "(BC)Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their (BD)hosts."
27They were the ones (BE)who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.
28Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
29that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "(BF)I am the LORD; (BG)speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you."
30But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am (BH)unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?"

Today, as I was driving home from my Symphonic Band class, I was worshipping God with my stereo just about as loud as I could stand it, God wanted me to slow down to 55mph (I was driving on the freeway). God wanted me to worship Him for an extra couple of minutes....and I can't blame Him....lately, my only worshipping has been driving to and from school and to work....pretty much only when I drive and at church. This Lent I am trying to spend more time with God.
God Bless you guys and this week, try to get extra time with God.

Lent 2010: Days 3 and 4
I can't believe that my conscious effort to read the Bible everyday for Lent has already been broken on day 3 no less. (I guess 3rd time isn't a charm).
Anyway, yesterday (day 3) I was able to go see my grandmother, so I was VERY excited about that and I can have a family "going away" party at her house! (Which is totally awesome!)
But back to Lent.
So, this morning I read Exodus 3 and 4 to keep me on track for tomorrow. :)
Here it is.... Moses and the Burning Bush/Moses Given Powers
(all copied and pasted from Biblegateway.com)
Exodus 3-4 (New American Standard Bible)
Exodus 3
The Burning Bush
1Now Moses was pasturing the flock of (A)Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to (B)Horeb, the (C)mountain of God.
2(D)The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a (E)bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.
3So Moses said, "(F)I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up."
4When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, (G)God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
5Then He said, "Do not come near here; (H)remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
6He said also, "(I)I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob " (J)Then Moses hid his face, for he was (K)afraid to look at God.
7The LORD said, "I have surely (L)seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.
8"So I have come down (M)to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a (N)good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of (O)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
9"Now, behold, (P)the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
The Mission of Moses
10"Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, (Q)so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."
11But Moses said to God, "(R)Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?"
12And He said, "Certainly (S)I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: (T)when you have brought the people out of Egypt, (U)you shall worship God at this mountain."
13Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"
14God said to Moses, "[a](V)I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
15God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, '(W)The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you ' This is My name forever, and this is My (X)memorial-name to all generations.
16"Go and (Y)gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, '(Z)The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "(AA)I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.
17"So (AB)I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of (AC)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land (AD)flowing with milk and honey."'
18"(AE)They will pay heed to what you say; and (AF)you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us So now, please, let us go a (AG)three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'
19"But I know that the king of Egypt (AH)will not permit you to go, (AI)except under compulsion.
20"So I will stretch out (AJ)My hand and strike Egypt with all My (AK)miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and (AL)after that he will let you go.
21"I will grant this people (AM)favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
22"But every woman (AN)shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters Thus you will (AO)plunder the Egyptians."
Exodus 4
Moses Given Powers
1Then Moses said, "What if they will not believe me or (AP)listen to what I say? For they may say, '(AQ)The LORD has not appeared to you.'"
2The LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" And he said, "(AR)A staff."
3Then He said, "Throw it on the ground." So he threw it on the ground, and (AS)it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.
4But the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail"--so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand--
5"that (AT)they may believe that (AU)the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."
6The LORD furthermore said to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom." So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was (AV)leprous like snow.
7Then He said, "Put your hand into your bosom again." So he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, (AW)it was restored like the rest of his flesh.
8"If they will not believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe the witness of the last sign.
9"But if they will not believe even these two signs or heed what you say, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground; and the water which you take from the Nile (AX)will become blood on the dry ground."
10Then Moses said to the LORD, "Please, Lord, (AY)I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue."
11The LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or (AZ)who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
12"Now then go, and (BA)I, even I, will be with your mouth, and (BB)teach you what you are to say."
13But he said, "Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will."
Aaron to Be Moses' Mouthpiece
14Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, (BC)he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15"You are to speak to him and (BD)put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will teach you what you are to do.
16"Moreover, (BE)he shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him.
17"You shall take in your hand (BF)this staff, (BG)with which you shall perform the signs."
18Then Moses departed and returned to Jethro (BH)his father-in-law and said to him, "Please, let me go, that I may return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."
19Now the LORD said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for (BI)all the men who were seeking your life are dead."
20So Moses took his wife and his (BJ)sons and mounted them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt Moses also took the (BK)staff of God in his hand.
21The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all (BL)the wonders which I have put in your power; but (BM)I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
22"Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, "(BN)Israel is My son, My firstborn.
23"So I said to you, '(BO)Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you have refused to let him go Behold, (BP)I will kill your son, your firstborn."'"
24Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and (BQ)sought to put him to death.
25Then Zipporah took (BR)a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet, and she said, "You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me."
26So He let him alone. At that time she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood"--because of the circumcision.
27(BS)Now the LORD said to Aaron, "Go to meet Moses in the wilderness " So he went and met him at the (BT)mountain of God and kissed him.
28(BU)Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD with which He had sent him, and (BV)all the signs that He had commanded him to do.
29Then Moses and Aaron went and (BW)assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel;
30and (BX)Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses He then performed the (BY)signs in the sight of the people.
31So (BZ)the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD (CA)was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, then (CB)they bowed low and worshiped.

God called Moses, but Moses didn't feel like he could do it...
Has there ever been a time or a calling where you were either asked by God and you didn't feel like you could do it? What about a really big favor from a friend of family member?
As of right now, God has called me to Deaf ministry...God eventually sent Moses with his brother Aaron...
Thinking about this passage, I have a question God...I know You are with me, but is there going to be a second person down here helping me?
Anyway, yesterday (day 3) I was able to go see my grandmother, so I was VERY excited about that and I can have a family "going away" party at her house! (Which is totally awesome!)
But back to Lent.
So, this morning I read Exodus 3 and 4 to keep me on track for tomorrow. :)

8"So I have come down (M)to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a (N)good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of (O)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
9"Now, behold, (P)the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
The Mission of Moses
10"Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, (Q)so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."
11But Moses said to God, "(R)Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?"
12And He said, "Certainly (S)I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: (T)when you have brought the people out of Egypt, (U)you shall worship God at this mountain."
13Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"
14God said to Moses, "[a](V)I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
15God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, '(W)The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you ' This is My name forever, and this is My (X)memorial-name to all generations.
16"Go and (Y)gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, '(Z)The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "(AA)I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.
17"So (AB)I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of (AC)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land (AD)flowing with milk and honey."'
18"(AE)They will pay heed to what you say; and (AF)you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us So now, please, let us go a (AG)three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'
19"But I know that the king of Egypt (AH)will not permit you to go, (AI)except under compulsion.
20"So I will stretch out (AJ)My hand and strike Egypt with all My (AK)miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and (AL)after that he will let you go.
21"I will grant this people (AM)favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
22"But every woman (AN)shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters Thus you will (AO)plunder the Egyptians."
Exodus 4
Moses Given Powers
1Then Moses said, "What if they will not believe me or (AP)listen to what I say? For they may say, '(AQ)The LORD has not appeared to you.'"
2The LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" And he said, "(AR)A staff."
3Then He said, "Throw it on the ground." So he threw it on the ground, and (AS)it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.
4But the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail"--so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand--
5"that (AT)they may believe that (AU)the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."
6The LORD furthermore said to him, "Now put your hand into your bosom." So he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was (AV)leprous like snow.
7Then He said, "Put your hand into your bosom again." So he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, (AW)it was restored like the rest of his flesh.
8"If they will not believe you or heed the witness of the first sign, they may believe the witness of the last sign.
9"But if they will not believe even these two signs or heed what you say, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground; and the water which you take from the Nile (AX)will become blood on the dry ground."
10Then Moses said to the LORD, "Please, Lord, (AY)I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue."
11The LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or (AZ)who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
12"Now then go, and (BA)I, even I, will be with your mouth, and (BB)teach you what you are to say."
13But he said, "Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will."
Aaron to Be Moses' Mouthpiece
14Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, (BC)he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15"You are to speak to him and (BD)put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will teach you what you are to do.
16"Moreover, (BE)he shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him.
17"You shall take in your hand (BF)this staff, (BG)with which you shall perform the signs."
18Then Moses departed and returned to Jethro (BH)his father-in-law and said to him, "Please, let me go, that I may return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."
19Now the LORD said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for (BI)all the men who were seeking your life are dead."
20So Moses took his wife and his (BJ)sons and mounted them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt Moses also took the (BK)staff of God in his hand.
21The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all (BL)the wonders which I have put in your power; but (BM)I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
22"Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, "(BN)Israel is My son, My firstborn.
23"So I said to you, '(BO)Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you have refused to let him go Behold, (BP)I will kill your son, your firstborn."'"
24Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and (BQ)sought to put him to death.
25Then Zipporah took (BR)a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet, and she said, "You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me."
26So He let him alone. At that time she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood"--because of the circumcision.
27(BS)Now the LORD said to Aaron, "Go to meet Moses in the wilderness " So he went and met him at the (BT)mountain of God and kissed him.
28(BU)Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD with which He had sent him, and (BV)all the signs that He had commanded him to do.
29Then Moses and Aaron went and (BW)assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel;
30and (BX)Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses He then performed the (BY)signs in the sight of the people.
31So (BZ)the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD (CA)was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, then (CB)they bowed low and worshiped.

God called Moses, but Moses didn't feel like he could do it...
Has there ever been a time or a calling where you were either asked by God and you didn't feel like you could do it? What about a really big favor from a friend of family member?
As of right now, God has called me to Deaf ministry...God eventually sent Moses with his brother Aaron...
Thinking about this passage, I have a question God...I know You are with me, but is there going to be a second person down here helping me?

Exodus 2 (New American Standard Bible)
Exodus 2
The Birth of Moses
1Now a man from (A)the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi.
2The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was (B)beautiful, she hid him for three months.
3But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a [a](C)wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch Then she put the child into it and set it among the (D)reeds by the bank of the Nile.
4(E)His sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him.
5The daughter of Pharaoh came down (F)to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her.
6When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
7Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?"
8Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go ahead." So the girl went and called the child's mother.
9Then Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and (G)he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."
11Now it came about in those days, (H)when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their (I)hard labors; and (J)he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he (K)struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13He went out (L)the next day, and behold, two Hebrews were fighting with each other; and he said to the offender, "Why are you striking your companion?"
14But he said, "(M)Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and said, "Surely the matter has become known."
Moses Escapes to Midian
15When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he tried to kill Moses. But (N)Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down (O)by a well.
16Now (P)the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and (Q)they came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
17Then the shepherds came and drove them away, but (R)Moses stood up and helped them and watered their flock.
18When they came to (S)Reuel their father, he said, "Why have you come back so soon today?"
19So they said, "An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and what is more, he even drew the water for us and watered the flock."
20He said to his daughters, "Where is he then? Why is it that you have left the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat."
21(T)Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and he gave his daughter (U)Zipporah to Moses.
22Then she gave birth to (V)a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been (W)a sojourner in a foreign land."
23Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel (X)sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and (Y)their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.
24So (Z)God heard their groaning; and God remembered (AA)His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25(AB)God saw the sons of Israel, and God took notice of them.

I think I know why God wanted me to reread about Moses life....in so many ways I am like him.
I've never killed anyone.....but I have some anger issues that I deal with daily....anger was what drove Moses to kill the Egyptian...
And I have some speech/word problems....when I was a kid, I couldn't pronounce 2 letters of the alphabet....I had speech when I was 10 to be able to correctly pronounce those letters. I also have a hard time finding the right words to say and sometimes I don't have the concentration long enough to even finish...
But like Moses I was called to move a group of people...Moses was called for his people...I for the Deaf people. I am so excited to be able to read about Moses and all that he did over his lifetime and all that I can accomplish. I am excited because I was created for the purpose of being a missionary to the Deaf and I am eager to see how, at the end of my life here, all the wonderful things I was able to do for the Deaf people through God.
God Bless you!

I think I know why God wanted me to reread about Moses life....in so many ways I am like him.
I've never killed anyone.....but I have some anger issues that I deal with daily....anger was what drove Moses to kill the Egyptian...
And I have some speech/word problems....when I was a kid, I couldn't pronounce 2 letters of the alphabet....I had speech when I was 10 to be able to correctly pronounce those letters. I also have a hard time finding the right words to say and sometimes I don't have the concentration long enough to even finish...
But like Moses I was called to move a group of people...Moses was called for his people...I for the Deaf people. I am so excited to be able to read about Moses and all that he did over his lifetime and all that I can accomplish. I am excited because I was created for the purpose of being a missionary to the Deaf and I am eager to see how, at the end of my life here, all the wonderful things I was able to do for the Deaf people through God.
God Bless you!

Lent 2010: Day 1
I am SO excited (I know I've said that before) about celebrating this season of Lent. I am excited, but a bit nervous because this is the last Lent I will be able to experience with my church home, because of my move to Idaho in July.
But this Lent, instead of stopping a bad habit I am trying to gain a new habit...reading the Bible daily....lately I have only picked up my Bible for church and for Bible study at school.....I am really hoping tat I am going to be able to (for 40 days straight) be able to read a passage from the Bible everyday...my goal is to blog what I read, partly to keep myself accountable, but also so you can see what God wants me to read.
God Bless you guys!

So below I have copied and pasted from http://www.biblegateway.com what I read from my Bible today...may God give you some insite into the life of Moses!
Exodus 1 (New American Standard Bible)
Exodus 1
Israel Multiplies in Egypt
1Now these are the (A)names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came each one with his household:
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah;
3Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin;
4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
5All the persons who came from the loins of Jacob were (B)seventy in number, but Joseph was already in Egypt.
6(C)Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
7But the sons of Israel (D)were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them.
8Now a new (E)king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
9(F)He said to his people, "Behold, the people of the sons of Israel are more and mightier than we.
10"Come, let us (G)deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and depart from the land."
11So they appointed (H)taskmasters over them to afflict them with (I)hard labor And they built for Pharaoh (J)storage cities, Pithom and (K)Raamses.
12But the more they afflicted them, (L)the more they multiplied and the more they spread out, so that they were in dread of the sons of Israel.
13The Egyptians compelled the sons of Israel (M)to labor rigorously;
14and they made (N)their lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and bricks and at all kinds of labor in the field, all their labors which they rigorously imposed on them.
15Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other was named Puah;
16and he said, "When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, (O)if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."
17But the midwives (P)feared God, and (Q)did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live.
18So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?"
19The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them."
20So (R)God was good to the midwives, and (S)the people multiplied, and became very mighty.
21Because the midwives (T)feared God, He (U)established households for them.
22Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, "(V)Every son who is born [a]you are to cast into (W)the Nile, and every daughter you are to keep alive."

"Gang" Fight
Today will be a day that will sit with my gut for quite some time...
Today, I woke up....got dressed....watched 2 episodes of an old TV show and I got ready for a 4 hour work shift...which went by quickly...
I got home at dark...excited that my family and I were goin' to Thunder Valley Casino.
Then my sister went outside to grab valentine gifts from my car and she comes back screaming "call 911, call 911!"
I went outside and a fight had broken out amongst some of my hispanic neighbors that lived 8 houses down.
I called 911....and reported the crimes...most of the neighborhood was out just watching....two other neighbors also called 911...
1 man threw children, punched and shoved women and beat one guy so bad that he had to go to the hospital...
1 thing that bothered me more than the fighting was the fact that the Caucasians on the street were just watching and talking amongst themselves and joking about it...
THERE WAS NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT. (I've got new next door neighbors who will probably move out....they have small children)
For the last couple of years I had been telling people that I lived in the bad part of Lincoln. They said "There is no such thing as 'the bad part of Lincoln'."
1st street, between "O" Street and Joiner is a collection of apartments...fights and gangs do all sorts of crap there...the area is now just getting bigger. Now it's "R" street between 3rd and 1st and "O" Street to "Joiner"...
Father God, protect those that live in this area of Lincoln and those near that area of Lincoln. In Jesus name. Amen

4years later...
Oh my....I can't believe that it has been 4 years since my grandfather ended his journey here and is now celebrating in heaven.
At first, I was a little sad, but I knew when he died that he was with Jesus. I think about my grandfather ALOT, but one thing that helped me to realize that I wasn't going to see him until I got to heaven, I wrote this poem, which I am going to share.
(DO NOT COPY)
Up There [Keeping an Eye of Each of Us]
We all went on our busiess,
As usual, in the early daylight hours
Of Thursday morning.
You were already
Up There.
Up there celebrating,
Up There keeping an eye on
Each of us.
As the dawn turned
Into morning and
Morning turned into
Late afternoon,
The wildfire of your
Passing, spread through
Each of us.
But you Oliver,
That we all called Dean,
Was already up there,
Up There, celebrating,
And keeping an eye on
Each of us.
You watched from above,
As some said good-bye
From room
Numbered 55.
You watched as we
Comforted your wife
As she didn't want to leave your side.
You watched as we made th calls,
Made the appointments.
All this time,
You were celebrating,
You were celebrating th life that ou lead,
The life that you gave up to help others,
No matter the cost.
You raised three children,
Two gentlemen and a lady,
Made it to fifty and a half years in marriage.
You saw your grandkids grow.
You are already up there,
Up there celebrating,
Up there keeping an eye on
Each of us.
I thought I'd share this with all of you.
God Bless

Creativeness
I do an incredible amount of thinking and writing stories and poems. And lately I have been thinking about random TV shows and how if I was a writer for them what kind of stories I would write about...
If I wrote an episode of Criminal Minds I would get into Penelope Garcia's history and have her discover that she had a sister and that they were both adopted....her going with the Garcia family and her sister Juniper, who went with the McBride family.
If I write an episode of CSI: NY. I would spice things up between Stella and Sid...(hehe) and how much it bothers Mac that they are an "item" because Mac has the hots for Stella, but never told her face to face.
Okay, now my brain won't explode....haha....see how I am with too much coffee??
Anyway, that's for reading this almost pointless, but rather entertaining blog.
God Bless!

*Sigh*
This school semester has been off to a REALLY fast start. It seems like I've been in school only like a week, but his is the end of the 2nd week. I am not in a huge work load this semester, but with losing my math homework, I have been doing a lot of catching up...plus, misunderstood my 2nd assignment in Cultural Geography, so I got a 0 for that. :(
This semester I am taking 5 classes
Symphonic Band: I am currently 2nd flute....but the professor might move me to 3rd clarinet.
Beginning Piano: This teaches the absolute basics of music and theory and how to play cords and piano...very easy so far with my 10 years of music experience.
Cultural Geography: This has been an interesting class and I am looking forward to seeing the world through the cuture aspect. (Physical geography I took last semester had a very different outlook.
Nutrition and Life Fitness: I know that I need to eat better, and I don't know a lot about the science behind food and what's the best to eat....plus the PE is kicking my butt, which is REALLY good.
Elementary Statistics: I am re-taking this math class because I failed it 1 year ago and I need this as a requirement to graduate and get both my AA degrees. This time, however, I am taking it with the most popular and the most widely sought out Stats professor at Sierra College.
And, I also work on the weekends, so natrually, the days are flying faster than they have ever have before. I am getting an increase in hours also and I hope that keeps up. I am saving MOST of my FAFSA checks so that I can use the remainder of it for transferring to Northwest Nazarene University so I don't have to get into so many school loans.
It has been SO crazy that I haven't had a lot of time to think about the last 5 months of living in California....someone I hadn't seen in a long time suggested to me to throw a goodbye party. I hadn't given it that much thought...and I think that it is a wonderful idea....I'd probably have to have two/three parties....one for family who still lives here in this area.....one with my friends (growing up and school) and one with my coworkers....although probably no one will show up.
But yeah, life has been busy.....
God bless you guys and have a great weekend!!

Proverbs 24
Proverbs 24 (New American Standard Bible)
Proverbs 24
Precepts and Warnings
1Do not be (A)envious of evil men,
Nor desire to (B)be with them;
2For their minds devise (C)violence,
And their lips (D)talk of trouble.
3(E)By wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;
4And by knowledge the rooms are (F)filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
5A (G)wise man is strong,
And a man of knowledge increases power.
6For (H)by wise guidance you will wage war,
And (I)in abundance of counselors there is victory.
7Wisdom is (J)too exalted for a fool,
He does not open his mouth (K)in the gate.
8One who (L)plans to do evil,
Men will call a schemer.
9The (M)devising of folly is sin,
And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
10If you (N)are slack in the day of distress,
Your strength is limited.
11(O)Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
12If you say, "See, we did not know this,"
Does He not (P)consider it (Q)who weighs the hearts?
And (R)does He not know it who (S)keeps your soul?
And will He not (T)render to man according to his work?
13My son, eat (U)honey, for it is good,
Yes, the (V)honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;
14Know that (W)wisdom is thus for your soul;
If you find it, then there will be a (X)future,
And your hope will not be cut off.
15(Y)Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not destroy his resting place;
16For a (Z)righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the (AA)wicked stumble in time of calamity.
17(AB)Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18Or the LORD will see it and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.
19(AC)Do not fret because of evildoers
Or be (AD)envious of the wicked;
20For (AE)there will be no (AF)future for the evil man;
The (AG)lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21My son, (AH)fear the LORD and the king;
Do not associate with those who are given to change,
22For their (AI)calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?
23These also are (AJ)sayings of the wise
To (AK)show partiality in judgment is not good.
24He (AL)who says to the wicked, "You are righteous,"
(AM)Peoples will curse him, nations will abhor him;
25But (AN)to those who rebuke the wicked will be delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.
26He kisses the lips
Who gives a right answer.
27Prepare your work outside
And (AO)make it ready for yourself in the field;
Afterwards, then, build your house.
28Do not be a (AP)witness against your neighbor without cause,
And (AQ)do not deceive with your lips.
29(AR)Do not say, "Thus I shall do to him as he has done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work."
30I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man (AS)lacking sense,
31And behold, it was completely (AT)overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with (AU)nettles,
And its stone (AV)wall was broken down.
32When I saw, I reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.
33"(AW)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,"
34Then your poverty will come as a robber
And your want like an armed man.
