The Purple Starburst





I refuse to eat purple starburst or anything remotely similar.


Because.....

Of a dream I had last night.

A scary one.

A bad one.

A hard-hitting reality one.

I had a dream about drugs.
And not just any drugs.
I mean, illegal drugs. The "real" deal, so to speak.

I dreamed that a purple starburst had an illegal drug in it. We'll just call it "O". And the pharmacist knew what he was doing when he gave the candy to the preteen kids.

It makes me sick, real sick, that somebody would do that. Think about it. He just poisoned the starburst and the preteen kids didn't know it. They only liked the sweet stuff because it made them "feel better". Not because it was destroying their bodies.

That dream reminded me about the urgency of the gospel. We need to tell kids the Truth and nothing but the Truth. They are being poisoned with lies. and they believe it. every.single.word. As Christ-followers, its our job to tell the Truth to these boys and girls.

Because, if we don't, then who will?

We need to rise up and proclaim the gospel to the kids before that evil pharmacist destroys them. So, Preach the gospel and Proclaim the good news.


It shapes our future.



{And....the Word is much more fulfilling than a purple starburst. :) }




(for those of you who are reading this
 don't worry, 
it was just a dream that reminded me of something, 
not a vision or anything like that.

Set The World On Fire - Britt Nicole

Theme Song For This Week –––––

I wanna set the world on fire
Until it's burning bright for you
It's everything that I desire
Can I be the one you use?

I, I am small but
You, you are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, you are strong enough
To take my dreams
Come and give them wings.
Lord with you
There's nothing I cannot do.
Nothing I cannot do.

I wanna feed the hungry children.
And reach across the Father's land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father's hands.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/britt_nicole/set_the_world_on_fire.html ]
I, I am small but
You, you are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, you are strong enough
To take my dreams
Come and give them wings.
Lord with you
There's nothing I cannot do

Take my dreams
Come and give them wings.
And Lord with you
There's nothing I cannot do.

My hands, my feet
My everything
My life, my love
Lord use me.

I wanna set the world on fire
Wanna set the world on fire.

Take my dreams
Come and give them wings.
Lord with you
There's nothing I cannot do
Oh no.
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings.
Cause Lord with you
There's nothing I can't do.
Nothing I can't do.

I'm gonna set the world on fire.
Set the world on fire.









So....my absence has really been because of this TV show. Yeah, I wanted to finish them before training...hence my lack of posting! :)

Anyway, today I am leaving for CYIA/CEF training for a whole week. I thought I might be able to tweet while I'm there but, I can't and so I won't. :(  (yes, I have a twitter. I'll connect it with my blog soon. :) )

So, with that said, please be in prayer for my team along with several others as we share the gospel with boys and girls this summer! Pray for unity, strength, patience, and endurance/perseverance! Thanks y'all!!

See ya next week!

I Should Just Become The Team Mascot

Our cover school along with several other ones (or whoever could make it because of the storms) had their annual track meet. yeah. it was nothing to sneeze at.
We did, though, take home several ribbons along with a state trophy!

And I am also merely documenting this event for my blook*, otherwise I wouldn't be blogging about it! :)


Now, for a random assortment of pictures.....






























I don't have a team picture but, when I find one, I will post it! :)
