Nothing Let But God

I was walking at camp one day and I found this laying on the ground. I came across it again today and it was encouraging. It is a page out of the daily bread that someone cut out and pasted on a notecard that I had the privelage of finding. I am so thankful that I have the LORD!! HE IS ENOUGH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Nothing Left But God"
"A wise Bible teacher once said, 'Sooner or later God will bring self-sufficient people to the place where they have no resource but Him: no strength, no answers, nothing but Him. Without God's help they are sunk.' He then told of a desparing man who confessed to his pastor, 'My life is really in bad shape, ' 'How bad?' the pastor inquired. Burying his head in to hands, he moaned, 'I'll tell you how bad-all I've got left is God.' The Pastor's face lit up. 'I'm happy to assure you that a person with nothing left but God has more than enough for great victory!'
Read 11 Corinthians 20:1-17
"In today's Bible reading, the people of Judah were also in trouble. They admited their lack of power and wisdom to conquer their foes. All they had left was God! But King Jehoshaphat and the people saw this as reason for hope, not despair. 'Our eyes are upon You,' they declared to God (2 Cor. 20:12). And their hope was not disappointed as He fulfilled His promise: 'The battle is not yours, but God's." (v.15)
"Are you in a position where all sufficiency is gone? As you turn your eyes on the Lord and put your hope in Him, you have God's reassuring promise that you need nothing more." -JEY
When God is all you've got, you've got more than enough.

Merry Christmas!!!
Just thought I would give a quick update.I am not at camp anymore...no worries...I left on good terms. Mr. Kahl the director was willing to let me leave my internship early. For those of you who do not know, I was offerd a teaching job at Immanuel Christian School (I have been attending this church). I prayed about it and accepted. My first week was Nov.30-Dec.4. They have half days every friday.It went very well. I teach 4th and 5th grade. In the morning I teach spelling, literature, reading, math and penmanship. In the afternoon I have 1 3rd grader who comes down to my class. In the afternoons depending on the day I teach: Bible, history, science, health and every Friday I teach gym. They do not do paces here, I actually get to teach them!!!It has been amazing!!! I have 5 Students. They are so much fun! They keep me going! Full of lots of energy On Dec. 5th I was able to move into my apt. A couple from the church-Josh and Emily have an apt in their garage. Some people from the church spent a lot of time fixing it up. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! I love it! The Lord is good and I am thankful for what He has provided. Dec. 7-11th was a fun week too. Monday was a full day. Then on Tuesday we had a field trip and went to Bronners (the worlds largest Christmas store-located in Frankenmuth MI). We had a snow day wed and thurs and Fri was a half day! Then we come to the week of the 14th-18. This was their last week of school b4 break. We had a full day Monday and half days through Friday. We had a Christmas party and it was lots of fun!

The Lord is so good!!! I was given these verses by someone here and they have been a huge encouragement to me!!!! I can get so caught up in myself and not realize all that the Lord has done for me. It is easy for me to become discouraged being here. I have been struggling with my family and missing a lot of people from South Dakota!! This passage is amazing!!! My sufficientency is in Christ!!!! He is All that I need!!! His grace is sufficient for me!!!
11 Corinthians 12:8-10
"For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my grace is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefor will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: For when I am weak, then am I strong."

Galatians 2:20
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
~Crucified Heart~
In my own strength I am so weak, nothing I do will last. But with power from you Lord everything that I do, will be here when time is passed.
Lord give me a crucified heart. Broken in two, be made exactly like you. Lord may I be willing to die. Daily take up my cross, with a crucified heart.
You are the key to what I can be. I have you in my heart. So cleanse every part, make in me a new start. With you I am crucified.
Lord give me a crucified heart. Broken in two, be made exactly like you. Lord may I be willing to die. Daily take up my cross, with a crucified heart.

Trusting the Lord during trials

Why do we have trials? God uses trials in our life for a number of things. God brings trials into our life to conform us to image of His Son. That means that we need to be like Him. In order for Him to do that, God has to chip away all of that stuff that does not look like Him. It is not always easy and sometimes it hurts. But is is good for me. It says in:

Romans 8:28-29
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did forknow he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn amoung many brethren."
How many things work out for good? ALL things work out for good. Even trials and situations that are not pleasant to me. During a trial I am however, required to be joyful.
James 1:2
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations:"
This is a command for me to be joyful. It says to count it all joy. It does not say if I want to, it says when it comes, be joyful!!! Even though we are required to be joyful it does not mean that everything will go well and that it will be easy. The Lord promises to give me the strength that I need. When going through a trial, you can look at it 1 of 2 ways:
1. You can rejoice (as God commands) and be thankful for the trial that God has given you and look forward to what the Lord could teach you.
2. You can become bitter and angry because the Lord brought you this trial. (disobedience)
Which will you choose???? The choice is yours!
The Lord has been teaching me a lot. I found out this summer that my dad has cancer. I also just recently found out that my grandpa has cancer. They are both unsaved. Yet, I can still rejoice. God is still in control and this is just part of His perfect plan for my life. I don't need to understand why. I just need to keep focused on the Lord and continue to trust Him.
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
I am to think on those things. I need to not loose sight of the things that I do have in Christ. I have so much! God has promised to take care of me and He will!
Philippians 4:19
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Proverbs 3:5-6
" Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
The Lord will take care of me because He promised to. It has been neat to watch the Lord provide. I am looking forward to seeing what He will do next. I need to continue to trust Him.
11 Corinthians 1:3-4
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
Even when it may seem that no one knows what you are going through, God does!! He is the God of ALL comfort. He is the best comforter out there. Sometimes during the midst of a trial it is very hard to see why God has you going through it. You might not see how the Lord can use this in your life for good. Later on you may have the opportunity to encourage and help someone else because of what the Lord taught you during that trial.
When going through trials I am never alone!!!
God is:
1. Above me: Psalm 91:4- Above me are God's overshadowing wings.
2. Beneath me: Deuteronomy 33:27- Beneath me are God's everlasting arms.
3. Around me: Psalm 34:7-Around me the angel of the Lord encamps on all sides to deliver me!
4. In me: Philippians 4:7- Inside me God's peace that passes all understanding guards my heart and mind.
Psalm 68:19
"Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation."
This verse has been a huge encouragement to me. It is so easy to go throughout my day and not think of the little blessings that the Lord has given me. When things get busy I forget to stop and look at what the Lord has done. I love this verse...he daily loads us. Wow, he could just give a few...no he loads us with benefits or blessings. These blessings are not just big things, they are little too. Since I found this verse I have stopped and wrote down a few of what my blessings for that day were. If you don't think things are going as well as you think they should. Stop and count your blessings. There will be a lot...I know!!! What has the Lord blessed you with today????

Summer 2009

Jenny's Journal
The Lord allowed me to spend my summer at Camp CoBeAc in Prudenville, Michigan. It has been a great summer. My job was hospitality. I had the privilege of working with 6 other girls. Our job was to keep all of the buildings clean. We would clean the chapel, gym, pavilion, lodge, latrine and the bath house. Since my job was cleaning, you don't really get to spend a lot of time with the kids. I did however, have the privilege of leading in devotions with the girl campers. This was truly a blessing to me. I was scared when they asked, but the Lord helped me through it. I helped with Junior camp by supervising a girls cabin in the morning. Through this opportunity I really got to know some of the girl campers.
The Lord has taught me a great deal this Summer. I struggled with counseling others. I did not think I could do it. So, I started praying that the Lord would send some girls that I would be able to encourage. This week i was able to talk to a handful of girls. All but one of the girls I had talked to came from an unsaved family. It was neat to see how the Lord used my life experience to minister to these girls. One of the girls that I remember most, told me her whole life story and I could relate to everything that she was saying. I was able to give her some verses that has helped and encouraged me. It is neat to see how the Lord helps us through trials. It is even a greater blessing to see how we are able to help and encourage others as a result of our experiences.
I was very busy with camp...sorry that I did not get to update as much. I am going to try to do better. I also did not have a computer cord this summer. My cord broke....praise-someone was able to get one for me!
I am going to be participating in an internship program at Camp CoBeAc for one year. My meals and lodging will be provided by Camp CoBeAc and Retreat Center however, I will need to raise financial support to cover other expenses I will have for the year. As of right now, I don't have one main job. I am learning to do a little bit of everything, including working in the coffee shop, snack shop and office. The camp has a Bible Institute that will be starting this fall: Walk Right Bible Institute . I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord has for me here at Camp CoBeAc.
I will post pictures soon!!

11 Corinthians 1:3-4
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble,by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
Colossians 1:3-4
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."

Psalm 37:3-5 &7
"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth devices to pass."
I got a letter today and there were a few quotes in there...thought I would share them with you:
~Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow
It empties today of its strength~
~One of the marks of spiritual maturity is the quiet CONFIDENCE that GOD is in control without the need to understand why He does what He does.~

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever. For the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."

Thoughts

I Know Your Way is best for me

Lord I know your way is best for me. All you do is for my good and for your glory.
Give me faith to walk a path I can not see. For I know your way is best for me.
As a loving father kind and good, you give special gifts to your children waiting. You would never do them harm or bring them wrong. Even in the midst of trials you give a song. Sometimes shadows almost hide your face. It is then I choose to trust and find your grace. Lord I know your way is best for me. All you do is for my good and for your glory. Give me faith to walk a path I can not see. For I know your way is best for me. Lord I want to serve you faithfully and stay true to the task you’ve set before me. Help my faith not to waver or grow small. I invest in you my life my all. You know me from beginning to the end. So I choose to trust in you my loving friend. Lord I know your way is best for me. All you do is for my good and for your glory. Give me faith to walk a path I can not see. For I know your way is best for me.
~ I do not know what my future holds but I know someone who does. Even though I don't understand, I know I can trust Him because His way is best for me!! I know that when the Lord closes a door he will open another one. Since He has closed this door I am still going to keep focused on Him. He has a plan, one just for me. It can be so easy for me to be worried (as I have been...) because I have no where to go, no family. Everyone here can just go home...not me. I do however have the body of Christ, that is very large. I am very thankful for the body of Christ. But, in Matthew 6:34 "Take therefore no though for the morrow:for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. " I have really been thinking about this verse lately. He has been so faithful and He is the one that is in control of my life, NOT me!!. I do not need to worry. Worry is a lack of trust.
One of the teachers quoted this yesterday:
"Worry means there is something over which you can not have your own way.In reality, it's personal irritation with God. "

Spring Break


Wow..time has sure flown by! Spring break has already come and will be gone tomorrow. I did not get to go anywhere for spring break..I was a little bummed about that but I had lots of fun at the Georgeff's (teacher's here at CBI) house.

The weather here has been nice and warm for break. We were let our early on Wednesday to start our break. On Thursday Hannah J. (roomie), Celeste, and the Georgeff's and I went to Rapid. That was a lot of fun. We got some fabric to make skirts...(pictures later). Hannah and I went to the Park after getting back from Rapid and we had lot of fun. We did lots of radom things and just had fun being a "kid." Here are some pictures from our fun:


I did not even fall this time....ouch...choir tour...sand burn...


This was our intense game of tic-tac-toe....I got to be X's and Hannah was O's.


We both lost our game- sad...Cat won the game!

On Friday I cut out one of my skirts- it is going to be the cutest one on the block!!! :) I am very excited...thank you Mrs. G for your patience and all of the help! It is greatly appreciated. later in the evening we wathed a couple of episodes of a tv program: Frontier house- very interesting.

Saturday was another fun day in Rapid...I went with the Friesen's to watch their son Isaac play basketball. He had a tounament, he played 4 games and won 3 of them. When we got back in the evening Tim came over and the all of us watched Sound of Music. It was fun to see it again.

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Georgeff for inviting me over for break, and for opening up your home to me. So, it has been a great Spring break. It was a pleasure to spend it with the Georgeff's. Today (Sunday) was a high of 78...wow!! Well, it is storming out now...thundering and lightening...oohh..

Psalm 73:23-26

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt
guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but
thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for
ever.

Kristins House.....Cheesecake and Bible Conference

The weekend right before Bible Conference I had the privilege of gong to Kristin's house and we had so much fun! From Pooh Introductions to Contradictions...tree house....pretzels....frozen mocha cheesecake...pictures-freezing outside.....starbucks....shopping....the list goes on. I only a few pics and they will come later. Thank you Kristin for allowing me to come and spend the weekend with you! I had a great time! Since Kristin has already beat me to putting up the recipe of the cheesecake here it is:

YUM! Frozen Mocha Cheesecake:

1 1/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

1 can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons instant coffee
1 tablespoon hot water (or to desired taste)
1 cup whipping cream, whipped

In a small bowl, combine crumbs, sugar and butter. Pat mixture into a 9-inch springform pan or a 13 x 9-inch pan, covering both bottom and side. Chill.In a large bowl, beat cheese until fluffy. Add milk and syrup. Beat until smooth. In small bowl, dissolve coffee in water. Add to other mixture. Mix well and fold in whipped cream. Pour into chilled pan. Cover and freeze for 6 hours. Garnish with additional cookie crumbs. ENJOY

Bible Conference was last week and it was very good. Mark Fisher who graduated from CBI like 6-7 years ago came here from Colorado and shared with us from the book of Matthew. It was very good. Some days I felt like my brain was going to blow up because it was on overload, but it was very good stuff. Just a lot of info to comprehend at once. I was very encouraged how he kept bringing everything back to Christ and how he was a servant. I could go on and on...it was a very refreshing week! Wish there was more!!
During Bible Conference I got to see Ellie again and had the privilege of meeting Kady Smith. I had a lot of fun getting to know them more. We laughed a lot!!We had a lot of fun...even if Mark did spit on us since we were sitting in the front and the joke about a red head, brunette, and blonde...he noticed that it was us...too funny! And we laughed some more!! Thanks Ellie and Kady for a great week! I miss you guys already!!

Secret Sisters


Every year at CBI during the girls first dorm meeting everyone gets a "secret sister." Once you find out who you have, you are suppose to keep it a secret and not tell anyone. This is someone that you are suppose to pray for and send little gifts or notes of encouragement to them throughout the year. Well, since this would be my last semester I thought it would be a lot of fun if I blogged my secret sister...not the person I have...cause then they would know. My secret sister is a very dilligent and faithful secret sister...here are a few things from her:

This is my first gift that I got from her...it comes in handy..I needed a new journal for my devotions.

She had a note stuck in the little pocket...


Here is the note....very sloppy..she is covering up her original hanwritting...hhhhmmm.....
Heath bars....my favorite....she put it in the shape of a heart....how cute!!!
Here is her note...she keeps calling me darlin......hhhhmmmm

This was my valentine's day present from her...


Pretty heart earrings were in the inside...

All the little guys in a row!!!


Thank you so much for all of you help Daniel, Hannah, Amanda, and Valerie. I enjoyed having you in my class and helping out. I am going to miss all of those cubbies!


Prank

We can't start the new year without doing something to the boys (or at least that is what I was told) .Some girls, (who wish to remain unknown) decided to go to the guys dorm (with the dean herself and permission, of course) and take some of the guys ties. They only got ones that were visible or in their closet....(they did not snoop to get them). Anyway, so when it was time for our dorm meeting, we came in and were told to pick out a tie to wear to class the next day, ...so, we did...:


Thank you for letting me wear the tie Mr. Steel. I did not wear one of the boys, I wore Mr. Steels. He had a collection too! You see, this festive Christmas tie that I am wearing, it sings. Mr. Steel ALWAYS bumps it in class and one time in church....so guess what I did? I made it go off too!!!

My Roomie!!!

Thanks for participating Miss Haynie, all of the staff ladies participated with us...

Here we all are!!! Ready to preach....just kidding!

The Lord is ALWAYS faithful!!!!

The Lord has been teaching me so much latley. I have been thinking and praying a lot about my future lately. I have been praying about a few things and I am not even sure if that is where the Lord would have for me. I do know that I can trust Him and He will direct me!!!

I was thinking yesterday and had a nice talk with Mrs. Steel (today) about when I first came here . I can look back and see how the Lord has worked in my heart and taught me so much! I have learned so much about trust.

Every year my that I have been here (except this one) I have worked.So,the Lord had provided jobs for me and taken care of all of my bills. Everytime the Lord has been faithful. I look back and see how many times I worried and how their was no reason to. Through a series of events that happend this summer the Lord has taught me that He is ALL that I need. I have known that, but it wasn't untill I didn't have anyone left that it finally made sense. The Lord really is ALL that I need. He promises to never leave me:

Hebrews 13:5 says "...I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Psalm 27:10 says, "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will tak me up." These verses have been such a huge encouragement to me. I am so thankful for the body of Christ....my family is so large!!!!

It came time for me to come to school again. I was able to work only a very short time this summer. So, I was not sure how I would pay for school. I decided that I would come to school a few weeks early and try to see if I could get a job. I had one job and they decided they were going to close for the winter so that job fell through. I applied to lots of places, I was hired at one but it didn't work and I was wondering what was going to happen. The Lord was trying to teach me to just TRUST Him. I don't need to worry:

Matthew 6:34 says, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself..." I do not need to worry about what is going to happen. Well, Mr. LeBar asked me if I would be interested in doing breakfast everymorning for a scholarship. What an answer to prayer...no reason to worry. It was a full schoalrship butI did have to pay some but it was not a lot. Well, I knew that this was where the Lord wanted me and if this was where He wanted me than he would provide for me. Well, I got the scholarship again for this semester and this time it covered everything!!! Wow..the Lord is so good.

I am so glad that the Lord has allowed me to go through all of these hard times. If my life was easy and I did not have any problems than I would not even need Him. We pray that the Lord would conform us to the image of His Son. In order for Him to do that, He has to chip away all of the self and all of the things that do not reflect Him. It has not been easy but the Lord is still GOOD!!! If I am walking in accordance to His word than He will give me the strength that I need.

This semester started just a little over a week ago. I have 4 classes this semester. I am taking: Ephesians, Hermenutics, Revelation and Cults. I am looking forward to this semester, and a little sad because it is my last one!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Suzanna Marie!!





Suzanna is waving or trying to give Leah a high five.
















Liz found this cool cake and then made it for Suzanna.











Suzanna wanted to grab the candle instead of blowing it out. Jesse came and helped her blow them out.

Yummy!!!!!!!!


Jesse and Alana are enjoying their cake!!

Here are some of her friends that came:





This is Mr. and Mrs. Shively, they just came on staff at CBI. They were missionaries in
Papa New Guinea for 10 years (I think). They have 3 boys: Jeremiah, John and Joesph. Mr. Shively is the is the new registrar and he is also teaching 2 classes: Doctrine and John. We are happy they aer here!!! Mrs. Shively is filing in for Mrs. Charles until she comes back.




This is Matthew and Alisha Chamberland. Matthew was a senior when I first came here. Since then he has started a mission called Nehemiah Teams International. I went on a missions trip with a group of people with NTI last summer....we went to Uruguay. There are a neat family, I get the privilege to babysit for them, the kids are a lot of fun.

This is our Pastor and his wife:Matt and Kelly Lim
