Steve Fee
Hey guys if you want a ton of great songs and videos go onto youtube.com.One of my favorites are when you search Steve Fee,not to long ago I went to an outing where he was singing and I'm listening to him right now.To listen to the same just search Steve Fee and just choose one (F.Y.I. I'm listening to Steve Fee-All Because of Jesus).Oh and also I just wanted to tell you this,on the second/last day of Disciplenow (D-Now) Steve Fee had left Saturday night to go sing at Port City Community Church the next day on Sunday morning (my chorus teacher's church by the way!!!)Anyway the drummer from my church's band and the lead singer were leading us on Sunday.One of the groups that were there decided that they would sit where we had been sitting in the first row so they could run up to the front however they didn't know that Steve Fee had left.They stuck me and my friends on the second row and we realized that they wouldn't run up to the front.So the only people who ran up to the front were all from my church.Anyway we had a blast and for the first few days after we got back I was so wore out (only two days running around from fort to fort and so on screaming my lungs out but tirng all the same!!!!)
Gotta go :-)
Gotta go :-)
D-Now
Hey guys!!!!
Below is a sample of what is on the Detour website <> The trip described below was a blast and I most certainly can't wait until the next trip.Keep in mide that some of these trips are in the mountains or in Florida or somewhere else.
September 17, 2007
D-NOW…what a weekend we just experienced at Fort Caswell…we had a late start because the bus completely forgot about us other than that it was an awesome weekend! The Steve Fee band killed it Saturday night…we had some great small group time…we got a little wet…the cookout was crazy good and the fact that I got to hang out with all of you guys made it a great weekend. I got to give props to Tommy for the nasty belly flops…he definitely won that competition…he could win the gold medal if it where a real sport…he does not hold back…I think a few of his brain cells fell into the pool!Congrads to all the 7th graders for going on their first trip with Detour, you guys did great and I am looking forward to many more trips with you.I got to give one more shoot out to Blair…she did awesome getting all the girls together from the youngest to the oldest to play capture the flag…she had the girls pumped ready to go beat the guys!

Hope
This morning in my quiet time I was spending some time reading psalms and really trying to apply it to my own life. This summer seems to have flown by and I hardly had any time to just sit and relax. I don’t know about any of you, but sometimes, when I get that busy, I tend to forget where my focus should be. Sure, I may spend time with God but little by little the stresses and pressures of life, work, school and other expectations seem to come to the forefront. I know with school starting, some of you are feeling the way I do, “Oy my…how am I ever going to catch up on homework, sleep, etc.” We get into this mental mode, this routine of every day life…that sort of carried over from the summer. I know I have! WE almost forget what we are here for, that God wants to use us, that we should be glorifying him, that he wants to know us. WE lose our focus, and in turn we begin losing our hope in God that he is able to intervene, can overcome all things, is in all things. You see faith is built on the HOPE that God is who he says he is, even when we can’t see him. Romans 8: 24-25 says, “For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”
Thats my challenge to all of you out there…that you would HOPE for God to do something in you, to you, or through you this year in school. Psalm 71:14 says, “I will HOPE continuously. . “ CONTINUOUSLY means that you don’t stop HOPING. Never. Ever.That’s my prayers and hopes for all of you this week: that you NEVER STOP HOPING.

Wired
Day 1
Wired- for a life of worship.Welcome to the first day of a 30 day journal! I am so excited that you have chosen to take this journey with God and I truly believe your life will be better as a result of spending this time with God. During this 30 day journal each day we are going to zero in on one part of God’s character. It could be His faithfulness, patience, wisdom, or constant presence. One thing you will discover is that He is a perfect father and you will begin to see His love for you in a very personal way!
Now let be give you a few goals to shoot for…each day you need to commit this time to God, simply pray and tell God that you are giving your attention to Him and that you desire change in your life. Next give your full attention to the verses I have given you to read…slowly read through those verses…it might help if you personalize the verses…example “Jon wait patiently for the lord to help, He heard my prayer for help! God will come and help me when I am in trouble”…Well anyway it helps me so give it a try. After you have read the verses underline the phrases that stand out the most to you and then write a word that describes what that phrase means to you.Example “he turned to me and heard my cry” means his listening.After you have written out a word for each favorite phrase then that’s when you journal your thoughts writing out a simply pray thanking God, acknowledging Him, worshiping Him, and for the rest of the day think about those words you used to describe God. It’s that simple!I am so excited for you, it’s going to be a great and you are really going to see God at work in your lives.
Here is the first of our 30 day journal! I will give you a little sample of what it might look like after you finished.
Psalm 40
1-waited patiently for the Lord to help me,and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2- He lifted me out of the pit of despair,out of the mud and the mire.He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
3- He has given me a new song to sing,a hymn of praise to our God.Many will see what he has done and be amazed.They will put their trust in the Lord.
4- Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord,who have no confidence in the proudor in those who worship idols.
5- O Lord my God, you have performed manywonders for us. Your plans for us are toonumerous to list. You have no equal.If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,I would never come to the end of themKey words for me Listening, Helps, cares, trust, mine, purpose
Dear God, I have learned a lot about you today, you really are listing to me and you want to help me in my time of need you genuinely care for me and what I am going through…I can trust you when I can trust no one else and you are mine…I want to say that over and over to you God…you are mine and I am yours…some times I question my purpose in life but you tell me that you have a lot of great plans for my life, will you help me know those plans…I can’t help but dream about them…well father I love you and I want to thank you for listening to me and helping me even when I do not deserve it… thank you for caring for me and that I can trust you with my life…can’t wait to see how you are going to use me today…I love you! P.S. Help me be strong it’s really hard sometimes. Amen
I gotta go but I'll post some more later.Email me at detourgirl77@yahoo.com if you have an questions or comments.

Exited
Hey guys!!!!!!! :-)
Scotts Hill Baptist Church is so much fun!!I know most of you will probably think that I am nuts but frankly you're entitled to your opinion but I don't care what you think of me.Last year sometime around the time it is now my friend brought me to Scotts Hill and it has been one of the best things in my entire life.I make friends there and hang out learning about God and worshipping.Some of you may think that people that are so spiritual are boring but they really aren't.They're just normal people like you with a belief that people may think is idiotic but once you come to think about it ,"how did all of the world come around?"There is a God out there who wants the best for each and every one of us.You don't realize how good off you have it until you lose it.If you look at other people ,do you have more or less than them then look beyond where you live think of the people over in Africa or somewhere else think of all the homeless people.I had wriiten a much better blog but then the computer messed up so I had to re type it.If you think that people like me for instance don't have fun,I hangout with my church sing,dance,compete,worship,go to the beach or movies,go to Panama City,and so much more while learning of what it means to be a christian,and all about God.Please tell your friends about this blog.I'll be posting Wired journals everyday for a month with regular blogs here and there and with lessons.On the web scottshill.org there are church sermons from Janurary 2006.Below are the directions to Scotts Hill if you wish to go if you live near or in Wilmington,NC.There's also the two church websites.
