A few things

First God is crazy :) but in a completely good way. I keep getting verses about love, unity, and giving up my life!! Wow ahem I can clearly see my calling at this moment! Now I can choose to embrace it or walk away...........

Second I haven't blogged in two days WOW I know hehe. Just been uber busy with packing, school, and prep work :). It has been so much fun though! Doing everything I cam from this end and just being there to help my sister make choices :). The little things have been good for me :). Take note of how smiley I am at the moment.

Lastly I am leaving tomorrow for the wedding =D. I can't wait I am so excited!!! It is definitely going to be hard but good. The loooooooonnnnnnnnggggg drive will be entertaining.

Here are a few specific prayer requests for this weekend:
1. For a safe trip for both my family and friends as well as my brother in laws.
2. For things to go "well" with family members
3. For peace for Denielle and the wedding party :)
4. For the sickness of the people traveling
5. For myself, I am battling a lot right now. Not good but OK
Thanks and I will talk to you all in a few days!
Have a great weekend and keep waiting patiently for Jesus.
Love Ayana <3

Ohh yea he has humor

Wow God is just so funny! You know I think if he didn't have humor and we weren't created with the ability to laugh along, life would be miserable. Oh sure at first it kinda stings but in the end I find myself laughing. It reminds me how well God knows me and he knows my hearts motives. With everything that's going on with my family right now I am in a place where I am ultimately torn. I am torn between helping my family every moment and being exhausted or simply being selfish. I know the right thing to do, its obvious. But at times my heart says I could use this time to do this or that. Basically sitting down right now to write this was a huge chore and now I'm on to a shower? It's the most little situations that irk me and leave me wishing none of this had ever happened. Which brings me to my heart!! I wish this would all go away but than I question whether it's because of the pain my mom is in or me having to suffer a little. Wow talk about humility, hard! Super hard! Too hard to write! The pain and the truth of the yuckiness of my heart is being revealed. The truth is it was hard to sit down and write this however for me I understand myself and know I will feel much better after posting this. I am putting it on a blog that my youth pastor and his wife read and many other leaders and adults at church. Two of my best friends read my blog as well. So anyway you look at this it is yucky and hard. Now onto the part of humility between me and God. I get a random verse sent to my email everyday. Lately they have been super encouraging, which has been nice seeing all the hardships I am walking through right now. Today was different it was one of those verses that left me embarrassed before my Jesus. "We know what real love is because Jesus gave up His life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. "1 John 3:16. Yea talk about humility. WOW! God is good though, I am laughing so hard about that now :). This situation is sure teaching me a lot and making me a stronger person. I have my moments though and those are rough!! It's hard for me to sit back and endure my hardships knowing I am so young and have dealt with so much!! It hurts and I have been in a place where no one gets why I go through these things. I don't understand either but I have a spiritual comfort. I can't define it, I can't explain it, I can't share it with people, and I don't understand it. I just know it's a heavenly comfort for my soul. Anyways, I just wanted to share that and ask for your prayer right now. It's also nice to hear from you, so if you feel like talking please do ;).
Much Love

Life Lessons From 1st and 2nd Graders

Every time I work it is always a learning thing for me just as much as it is for the kids. Last night however was very insightful as I spent sweet time with my students. Working in children's ministry is such a gift. I lead worship last night =O ya I know. That was my same response as I walked off stage. All I kept thinking was WOW God is doing something in my life right now. It was great I had THE chad leading with me and Susan standing off to the side :). Anyways we did "Get down" by Audio Adrenaline. The following line from the song was one that Susan had pointed out to the kids "To live your life you've got to lose it And all the losers get a crown". Later on towards the end of class the kids had separated in to two teams (boys vs girls) for a relay race. The boys who were really on top of things that night won the race and got a treat. The girls started to whine about it and I stopped them by bringing up Get Down. They all stopped ad were like ohhhh yea. Than they started screaming about how they were gonna get a crown. I was all wait do you guys know what that means? They were like NO. I explained to them if they weren't sore loosers they would have crowns in heaven. To see the look on their faces was PRICELESS! They seemed to glow.

Happy Birthday Zach!

Happy 16th Birthday Zachweus!
WOO! Okay *takes a deep breath and starts*. It would seem fitting that at this point I would be able to write a novel about Zach. We have known each other longer than I can remember. I will sit here and bring up a million things and Zach won't remember any of it ;). He always stares at me, asking what I am talking about. He doesn't remember much from our childhood apparently. Zach it has been SO much fun, hanging out with you and getting to be a close friend. I will never forget the times when we were little and I would go with you and the family to big lots to get snacks for Sunday nights. We would drive in that crazy topless jeep and be crazy! Sunday nights were always so much fun with you and Clay. I am thankful we grew up serving with each other on Sunday night's. We started hanging out like crazy in 8th grade. Our weekly trips to Starbucks after church every night were the best. I will never forget those, we always seemed like crazy insane kids to the employees. Hah remember how they got to know us so well they wouldn't even ask us our orders? Haha good times good times :). Oohh or the times during the summer we would go hang out there until 11 or 12 at night??? You have to remember that :). I will never forget when we would drive you to school every Tuesday morning for a class that made no SENSE! We have had many opportunities to serve with each other in AWANA, VBS, youth ministry, and Kings Kids worship. Oh that brings me to worship ;). I think my most favorite memory would be from last summer. We had crazy VBS practice like 2x a week and we were super tired. We were at one of our last practices and the team was trying to remember the motion for a pounding heart. They argued for about 10 minutes about it well you, me and The chad (obviously the only sane one's) just stared at them :). It has been awesome being your friend although it's been super crazy! Always a growing process my friend, I thank you for your prayers in the tough times of my life. May God Bless you today and may your birthday be tight like emo pants ;).

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

Letting Go!!

My dream for a little while was to join the air force after high school. Everyone and their great aunt kept telling me that I was basically stupid and trying to get me to let go. It pretty much just drove me to want it even more!! No one got that! Like tell me not to do something I really want and I will try harder to get there! Anyways, I prayed and prayed for a long time about it. I sat back and examined my life and like prayed for a basic revelation from God on this issue. He revealed things about myself and my personality which brought me to my conclusion (at least for now). I let go of the air force. Not because of anything anyone said, but because I felt it was Gods call. I honestly can't say where the Lord will lead me in the years to come therefore, it may very well be the AF. I don't know though, I simply know it was not what God was saying yes to straight out of high school. I say all this to lead to the small yet great point. It is so hard to let go of something you want even when you know God is calling you to it. It was extremely hard for me to just "give up". No matter how many times I reminded myself it was Gods will, it still hurt....

Livivng With Diverticulits Part 3

Ugh!! I am at that point where it's just frustrating and I know my Mom is feeling the same way. I feel fer her (my throat surgery landed me in the same place). Eventually food is just like gross as you go over your 5 options of stuff to consume. She is eating jello, yogurt, protein shakes, noodles in broth, and mashed potatoes. Occasionally she gets a piece of toast when she has to take her meds. She only gets a half of piece though! Thankfully she will finish of her antibiotics tonight =D. There's something to be thankful for. The weakness from not eating normally has kept her home from church plenty of times. OH is satan working overtime or what?! Her ministry needs are at there greatest right now and she is stuck here at home. Wow that makes sense now that I think of it. Besides the fact that she is having to support me with way more now that the prep work has started for San Fran. I think the only thing that keeps sticking out to me during this is "God never gives us more than we can handle!". She is just having to be obedient, hahahaha wow what a word ;). Keep praying friends, we love you!!

Burnt on one side....

We had pancakes for dinner last night and as my Mom was finishing cooking them (literally the last one was on the griddle) my Uncle came over. She stepped away from the griddle for a few minutes to talk to him and when she did the pancake kinda burned. The most amusing part was none of us really realized until I walked by to wash my dishes from dinner. I was like "ohhhhh shoot"! Haha it was soooo classic. I went to flip it right away but it was toast! So one side was completely burned and the other well it wasn't even cooked hahaha. I took a picture and I thought I would point out the fact that you can't tell the difference between the pancake and griddle =D

Enjoy!! -Ayana

4 Months?!

Wow where does time go?? It seems it was just yesterday she took her last breathe and went home! God has done so much healing here on earth with all of us since he took her. It has been amazing to watch his work! The girls are doing OK. I saw them yesterday and they seemed alright. I am a little more concerned about Haylie than Sierra. Sierra ran up to me with a smile on her face and gave me a big hug. Haylie on the other hand is still a piece of work for me. I should have known it would be this way. I guess it's just hard because before everything happened we had gotten so very close. However, I know God is doing a unique work in her life everyday. Anyways I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge Donna and who she is in my life.

I Love You DONNA!

Livivng With Diverticulits Part 2

I have a hard time lately..... this is just hard for me. I don't really know how to put it into words, all I can say is I can't wait for my mom to eat again. God's shown me a lot through this and helped me with my struggles of being alone. Sometimes, I just wish this would all go away. Everything I am dealing with, the pain, the confusion, the struggles, and the hurts. Than I remember God is doing something I can't see. As I prepare for San Francisco Gods given me a lot of comfort and strength. I know your probably thinking oh geeze this was supposed to be about Lea and I will get there in a moment. I know you probably have no idea what I am talking about as far as the stuff I am dealing with but I ask that as for now you pray for me and understand that I have shared this with a few super close people. Onto my beautiful mother! She is making the best of a bad situation and staying strong. The healing process is taking way longer than we hoped but hey Gods ways our never ours. It has had her literally down and in bed a few days, but she's still her! I asked her earlier today to talk with me for a few minutes and she did! It was great being able to talk and not be interrupted by her falling asleep. She has done that quite a few times. Fatigue has set in for her because of the low amount of food she is able to consume! Anyways, just thought I'd update you! Thank you soooooooo soooooooo sooooooo very much for your prayers. They are cherished!
Love Ayana <3

My Dream!!

There's one thing in life that I would do almost anything to get. Jeremy Camp who is a christian artist that not only happens to be one of my favorites but also one I REALLY respect has a story that has impacted me deeply. I found the following that follows up after Jeremy fell in love with her:
"And then Jeremy received a call that would change his life forever. He was summoned to the hospital to see Melissa, then 20, who had just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. “I walked into the hospital and she was just beaming,” Jeremy recalls. “You could tell she wasn’t bummed out. She was just trusting the Lord. It was amazing.” During that same visit, Melissa shared a unique perspective with Jeremy. She told him if she ended up dying from her disease that as long as her death led one person to Christ that it would all be worth it. Despite her upbeat attitude, Jeremy left the hospital confused and upset at seeing someone he cared about in pain. Once in his car he found himself making a strange promise. “I drove away saying, ‘God if You want me to marry Melissa, knowing she could die from this cancer, then I will. If she tells me she loves me, I’ll marry her.’” It seemed like a fairly safe bet. They had never spoken those words to each while they were dating, why would she say them now?But during his next visit she did just that so Jeremy went away and fasted and prayed. The next time he saw Melissa, she was going through chemotherapy and was days away from losing all her hair. As they talked, Jeremy knew what he wanted to do. “I told her I loved her and said, ‘let’s get a ring tomorrow.’” Five months later, with Melissa’s hair growing back and her feeling better, the young couple married in front of a thousand well wishers. Unfortunately, their happiness was short lived. During their honeymoon, Melissa started having stomach problems and when they returned the doctor delivered the news they dreaded. She had mere months to live. On Feb. 5, 2001, Melissa went to be with the Lord. As she took her last breath, Jeremy stood with her family and began worshipping God singing the same songs they had played so often for Melissa during her hospital stays."
I can't imagine what he went through!! If I could have one thing it would be 10 minutes with Jeremy to simply ask him how he dealt with his new life overcoming the fear and hurt that cancer left...

Dislikes

1. I hate valentines day! Yea I said it, I'm sorry. Before you leave a million comments about how insane I am let me explain. It's overrated!! People do stupid stuff. And we should show our love all year Right???? So now you explain this to me???

The Difference

I feel like I have hit that place where I am finally seeing my life through God's eyes. Well a little bit anyways ;). The mourning process has eased up so much!! But there are times when I have my moments. Those moments are usually triggered by something else. For instance worship, at times the memories flood back and I am hit with loneliness. Lately, I have noticed that when the memories come (even though I am lonely) they bring a smile to my face. I think about the life she lived, the impression she left on me, the friend she was, and where she is now. I can really say that the beautiful part to this process has begun! As far as school goes, it's great!!! I have much more time and I am understanding why....which leads me to church. God has opened up some doors for some great ministry opportunity's. I started AWANA again =D, I have missed it soooooooo much. I am also currently praying about an Impact team for the youth ministry. I also don't want to overwork myself so I am just praying like crazy. I have seem to find beauty in the sickness and near death stuff that I am dealing with. Between my aunt and other friends, cancer has hit hard. Since retreat I have had complete peace about my Aunt! Oh is God good or what??? Life has seem to slow down just enough for me to take it all in! It's been good and I have been trying super hard to see my life the way God does. The decisions I make, the words I say, the things I deal with! All of it and man has it made a difference =D.It's amazing to see where God has brought me in the past few months and I am glad to be where I am!!
Love Ayana <3

How does that work?

I was just listening to "Treason" by Kutless. In the song they say the following:
"With my two lips I will praise your name
Then I turn around and only curse and blame".
I have seen this to be true in my own life. It hurts when you think about it, that you can be in church or personal worship time and be praising God. Than you can immediately leave and say a bad word or blame God for something that happened in your life. This is something to really go over and think about! Those lips that bless God should not turn around and curse him!

Prayer Request

I struggle a lot with chronic swimmers ear in both ears. To some that may not sound very painful, but it is! Swimmers ear is usually worse than having an ear infection. Lately, I have had severe pain in the gland right below my right ear! I'm sorta used to it because the swimmers ear will usually affect my glands. But today the pain has been super severe. I ask that you simply pray for direction. My parents and I are debating seeing a doctor again or just keeping me on the pain ear drops!
Thank You Friends
Love Ayana <3

Living With Diverticulitis Part 1

So many of you have heard by now that my Mom was diagnosed Thursday with Diverticulitis. Also a lot of people are asking what exactly this is. Here is a great explanation http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/diverticulosis/. I also wanted to update all of you on how she is. She went away for the weekend to retreat (she is such a fighter). Friday at noon was the first time she had eaten anything since Wednesday night at around seven. So she was super weak when she took off Friday afternoon (luckily she got a ride up with the late group). I haven't heard to much about her weekend but that's because she has done a lot of sleeping. She did say the weekend was amazing and she slept a lot and got a lot of downtime. Which we all know she needed =D. The meds are what are killing her right now!! I don't know why but she is not taking to them all to well. The warning labels warned that there may be slight nausea and dizziness. Well she got that!! It's been a little hard on her since shes not quite used to being down for so long. Come on she has 7 kids, she barely has time to blink.

Anyways, I am not God and do not seem to understand his ways very well. But I do know this he does everything for a reason and has a plan for her life (Jeremiah 29:11). I pray that only good things would come from this as my Mom searches for a way to bring Glory to God through her trials. My family asks for your prayers for my Mom as she adjust to daily life with this sickness. We are all thankful this isn't drastic and many people live with it daily =D. For that we are beyond grateful. Although, for my Mom their are things that are much harder on her than other people we know with this disease. Because of her daily life with homeschooling, work, and ministry adjusting will take some time. But we thank you all for your love and prayers.

One of the hardest things she is trying to adjust to is her new diet =/. It will be a little hard on us as for many of our meals will have to be planned to accommodate her. But we are willing because at this point, it will be the only thing that will heal her next to God! We pray daily for her healing and strength because the meds have her pretty down at the moment.
Thank You all!!!
God Bless
Love Ayana <3
PS: My family thanks each of you for your prayers on Thursday! It brought comfort to us as we knew God has his hand on her through all of you!!

Happy Birthday Grandma

Grandma...... I LOVE YOU!!!!

Happy birthday and thank you for being you and loving me! Your an awesome Grandma and I am so thankful your a part of my life. God Bless!!

Love Yah

I don't deserve it!!

Being as young as I am I have been beyond blessed with some really great stuff. People tend to look at me as much older than I am and that has lead to different things. One of those things that I am pleased to say that is great, is youth ministry. Tony and Jon have always given me many opportunities to serve. Some of those have included the worship team, greeter team, and student leadership. I have been able to watch so many kids come and go from our youth group. I have also gotten to see the one's who are real for God stay and follow him closely. I have a heart for the generation in which I am growing up in. I see their sins and their heart to understand their lives. Being a teenager also growing up facing most of the same temptations and issues, it is easiest for me to relate!! Anyways moral of the story is, it's is one of the biggest blessings of my life: seeing all of those teens fall before God surrendering their whole life to Jesus. I have a heart for our youth and pray that God will use me in amazing ways. I have seen and been through a lot and wish that God uses my testimony to bring many young people to his saving grace. Everyday God writes another page in my life and reading it is the most beautiful thing. I guess I saw all of this to thank God first and foremost for loving me and blessing me beyond my understanding. Also I know Tony you read this, so thank YOU! May God bless you abundantly!!
Love Ayana :)

Verse of The Day... Ouch....

"So why do you keep calling me, "Lord, Lord!" when you don’t do what I say? "
Luke 6:46, NLT
Plainly any way you look at that, it hurts!! So true though, how can we call on God, when were not obeying him?? Simple as that!! Harsh stuff but defiantly eye opening
God Bless

Praise GOD!

Hey There,
Yes it is 1 am and yes I am blogging and yes I am still awake ;). The main reason is that it took me awhile was because I had to make my million phone calls when my Mommy's results came back. After that was over my voice was exhausted and I needed to get ready for bed. I just thought I'd take a quick moment real fast. She has diverticulitis. She is home now and soooo much better. She is smiling again... SO GREAT TO SEE. Excuse any error in this I'm beat!! Well I am going to head off to bed that way when a certain person reads this tomorrow I don't get yelled at for being up so late. God is good!! Praise him and yea HE IS STILL ON HIS THRONE! If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment and ask ( I will answer them on your blog.)
Love Ayana <3
PS: My Mommy wants you all to know she cherishes your prayers and a big thank you from the bottom of her heart!! <3

Still Beautiful

*sighs*

Sorry to start a post off like this but under my circumstances, the sigh felt good. Crazy day for sure. My mom is in the ER at the moment (seems about right it's leaders retreat weekend). Anyways, we really don't know what's going on quite yet. Waiting for her cat scans to come back and were praising God at the moment!! My mom is unbelievably beautiful right now. I left the hospital about an hour and a half ago and snapped this pic right before I left. God is soooooo good. I got there around three which was two hours after she had been there. She was in so much pain but as I sat there with her just loving on her I heard her praising Jesus. She never stopped!! She was in the worse possible pain and just kept crying out to God! Hearing that encouraged me so much. I even heard her slightly whisper "God is STILL on his throne". I think it may have been Gods radiant beauty shining through her in this picture. Course she had make up on, but for the moment I snapped that I saw beyond the make up. I saw the loving mom she is, her heart for God, for the ministry, and for the Lost. I cried as I watched her in pain still serving Jesus. I was just really encouraged by that and thought I should share!!
Keep Praying Friends
Love You!!!!

CAHSEE Weirdness

So I took the cahsee thingy today and WOW! The test was so easy and ahem yes LAME (if I don't pass we can laugh later). Anyways, I thought I would take my extra time ;) to write about how weird it was. First the creepy lady (aka my PE teacher) came and took Jason my desk mate away! I was all noooooooooooooooooooo, please God have mercy. Ahahahaha. After that was over some random guy comes and takes his place. I'm like looking down and see a guy sit down. So I raise my head and I was all Ja.. OH! Than to myself I was like wrong guy! Okay I said that to myself and he still just stared at me!! So like there's this like questionnaire ryyy thingy at the end of the test. The questions were like will you drop out of high school?? Or go to military school?? SERIOUSLY???? I DON'T KNOW!!!! *Awkward* Than after I feel horrible for Jason so I was all dude what did they do to you?? He's like well they said I would be distracted sitting where I was... and I'm all dude uh I was sitting right by you?? Than the re place him??

I demand an explanation!!

Okay yeah I am tired......Goodnight

Saw His Face

I felt the need to share this...
Two weeks ago I was going through some weird/ hard stuff. It was a situation I was certain I couldn't run from. Funny!! Yea well not really! I mean God was probably (in a gentle way) like my dear child....... please stop running *slight laugh at his humor*. I guess it's my normal reaction to automatically look for a way out during any hardship. It's wrong as God has clearly proven over time and I am STILL learning the hard way. It is always so Joyful the learning process i mean. Anyways, it got to the point where I literally had a upset stomach over it and I was in tears asking God to fill me. I never intended for the situation to go this far and as time progressed I realized that if i simply called out to God, he would answer. Eventually through the tears I DID!! When I spend time with God I always feel Gods presence. However, at times I need something more. This was one of those times and I asked God to see his face. I don't know how to explain what happened next! I saw God's face though! I say all this to simply encourage you to call on God, he wants to answer your prayers

Home!!!

I really wanted to post as soon as I got home from camp Sunday but things happened and I missed my chance. I'm finally taking the time and it feels good!! Nevermind that though (yeahhh I am a little crazy)! Anyways, God did amazing stuff up there. Sis was just asking me how it was and I was like I can't explain, the only word I have for you is amazing! At first I was bummed cause there were only small random patches of snow! But than as I took a prayer walk Saturday I realized just how beautiful God is. I got some amazing pictures of the beauty he creates. Friday was great I got a chance to hang with all 24 girls in my cabin at random times. They all opened up to me and that was beautiful. I didn't sleep very well Friday night, I think I was fighting something. God was on my side though!!! (did I even doubt??) I woke up Friday morning and felt as if I had just slept 3 days straight! I went to breakfast by myself cause Keenan needed her sleep and thankfully she got that. After some awesome food ;) and even awesomer chapel, I had 4 hours of free time. That's when my prayer walk came in!! Right before chapel Saturday night 5 of us girls went to the little prayer chapel to hang out. Pastor J, came in and we prayed for a revival that night! Guess what?? God answered that!! Great stuff happened!! Now comes that part I can't put into words, Church time. Al I can say is amazing, tearfull, and love. Here are a few pics I'm going to let them do the talking ;)

Happy Birthday Guys!

Happy Birthday to two wonderful people! First to Denielle, where do I start?? 24 years has been a long time!! Your old sis ;). Anyways, I couldn't ask God for a better sister and I am beyond thankful to have you in my life! I am glad that God has brought you to the place you are currently at. It is beautiful to see you working hard, loving God, and being happily married. You have given a lot of yourself for me and it is awesome! I pray for you daily and ask that you continue to grow both in marriage and with God. 24 years doesn't seem possible!! Thank you for always being there my whole life. Our family is blessed to have a sister like you.

I Love you and happy birthday!!

Mr. Miller!! uhhhh I honestly don't know where to begin!! Like for real =D. First I should say Happy 17th birthday! Friend you have been there more than I could have asked for and I thank you. Your like an older brother, always being protective and loving me. Your heart for God and ministry blesses and encourages me beyond anything I could express. You have given me some beautiful memories Supaman!! Thank you for listening to me, loving me and being a true friend when things got crazy. You never gave up on me when I wanted to! You showed me that God wanted me to carry on through the trials that were flying my way. God has used you in many ways in my life and today he smiles down on you for letting him use you. At times I know things are hard for you if you catch my drift. Just know that God has you where you are for a reason! Never give up and pray fervently! When God is ready he will bless you with that beyond your wildest dreams!! Happy Birthday my overly tall friend =p.

Love your short stuff :)
