IHOPers know how to party

Ita Halloween night and so what do we do here at IHOP? well a while ago we found out that if you wear tin foil you can get a free burrito at Chipotle. So our youth group, well those who arent in San Diego for TheCall, all showed up at youth group and we took a shuttle over to Chipotle, wore foil and got free burritos. later the youth leadedrs took us to starbucks and bought us hot chocolate. We had so much fun because there were only like 6 kids and like 9 leaders. When we got back from Starbucks we played capture th flag with everybody and my team got totally smoked but it was still fun. I think my favorite part though was when we were riding back to the Justice Prayer Room and me, Emily, and Wendel were all in the back of the shuttle rocking out to Eddy James which our driver Josh was blaring obnoxiously loud it was epic.

Edge of Hell outreach

About half an hour ago I finished de-briefing from a thing we do here called edge of hell outreach or evangelisim. Edge of Hell is one of the largest most popular haunted house in Kansas City along with The Beast. Instead of normal youth service we decided to go and evangilize at these haunted houses. There were about 20 of us and most of them were my friendsand youth leader. We went to where we have youth service and they briefed us on what was going to happen and how we should talk to people. Then we carpooled over to Downtown kansas city and got out of the car, yes we all had seatbelts dad, and it was COLD!!! We talked a little and they split us up into two groups and one of them went to Edge of Hell and my group went to the Beast. I find it strange how they are the biggest haunted houses in kansas city but they are across the street from each other. So we went to this haunted house called the Beast and it was pretty freaky and kinda scary. THere was this guy dressed up as "the beast" and he would come up to people and like growl it was really wierd. So we talked to people and handed out tracts and copies of 23 minutes in hell to people and asked them if they thought what they were doing was realistic and like if they died tonight where would they go. It was really cool to see how people were open to it and we saw God move in alot of people. One guy we talked to was named Tanner and he was there chaperoning his brother and his brother's friend. He was very interested in what we had to say and we went from the end of the line to almost where we went into the haunted house talking to him and he let us pray for him and we saw God plant a seed and we fed it and it in that span of a couple minutes started to grow. It was like nothing i had ever experienced and i loved it because i got to see God move. Later after i got home He spoke to me and told me that because of my boldness and love for those people He moved in them. I have a very hard time speaking to strangers but as the night went on it became easier the more i talked. I was surprised at what i was saying and the boldness that i felt and i felt so confident that i knew God was speaking through me and the Holy Spirit was moving through me and my group. it is the greatest feeling in the world and i hope that everyone we spoke to feels it to someday.

SpiderWebs

You know those moments where you just don't understand. Along with that you don't know how to communicate in a way where you can say what you think so it wont come out disrespectful or it will make sense to the other people. I those moments. I the webs that satan wraps you in and fills your mind with so you cant think. Your words get mixed and then you feel trapped inside of yourself and dont know how to get out. Then confusion comes and you try to think back to what happened and you look stupid because you cant remember what the heck you were thinking at that time or your plan of how to communicate. I guess it comes with being a teenager but i have had a problem with this all of my life. I this with so much venom because i know that the devil knows my vulnerable points and takes advantage of them. I can feel it and I call on God because i know He is the deliverer and The defender of the weak but it is so hard. I am wrapped in the spiderwebs of deception and oppression but i need to get out and can only do this by leaning on and trusting my Beloved. the one who searches after my heart and loved me first and through Him and Him alone i am able to love Him back. Sometimes it is so hard to love and trust the God who is intangeble and you have no way of seeing unless you go to Heaven (which i havent gotten there but im working on it and praying for it) but that is where faith comes in. Faith is believing in what you are not sure of. I have so little fait yet He gives me grace to build it and gives me the power to preform signs and wonders so that i will increase my faith. God is so mysterious and good and we do not deserve what He gives us yet He gives us all of Him. He is so awesome and aweful that all of my questions end in awe which is the way it is supposed to be. I dont really know why i wrote this on here but if it somehow is stilol here in the End Times and i get martyred bring it on. Maybe i felt the need to write this because maybe it is a confirmation for somebody but whatever it is it is. I the devil bottom line. There are few things in this world that really just tick me off and he is the source of all of them.
