Shooting Star!

Tonight as I was sitting with my parents outside I glanced into the sky and saw a shooting star... It's not like they're rare... But at this moment when I was doubting my faith in God to supply what I need and show me his path... one happened to appear! I knew it was God saying "Everything is going to be alright." He is so amazing and even with the simplest of things ,such as a shooting star, he shows us that everything will work out in his plan. We should never worry about tomorrow, he has been there! He knows what will happen. I don't believe God makes bad things happen to us, but when they do he allows them to change us! He makes our faith stronger by pulling us out of our despair! When we are in the deepest of holes, he reaches in and pulls us out!
    If you think of the love he has for us, you should be amazed! No one could ever love you the way he does. And his care! He cares for you so much that he is willing to send you through every sort of trouble just to show you, HE'S THERE! It's an amazing feeling to have a God who loves you.

just a little quote i came up with "I'm a leader not a follower, but I am a follower of THE leader."

OMG!

My dad is starting to change his mind about this trip. That then makes my mom think about not letting me go either... I know it is God's will and that he wants me there... But without my parents support I may never get there. In order for my parents to let this happen I think I am going to have to raise some money this week and show them how I CAN DO THIS! So if you would like to donate, you can go on Globalexpeditions.com/donate. my id name is Sarah Choate

The First Day of many.

Well, today I made it a for sure on my first fundraiser. I called my grandpa and asked him if I could use the facility of the church, and of course he said yes! I am so excited. I need to start getting people gathered for the talent show and I need to find someone who has a trailer for hayrides. I can definetely get some of my youthies to help with face-painting! I am so excited. I cannot wait to see how much money and prayer God is going to provide me with. He has never failed me before and he will not now or ever! I know I am meant to be on this trip or he wouldn't have given me such amazing fundraising ideas! I know that a lot of people will show up at this fall fest! I know a lot of people and my school teachers are so excited that they will bring their families who may invite other families! Plus everyone in Chico, the town of the church, know me and love me! I am so not asking for a lot of money at this fundraiser but we will be taking any donations after the talent show. I think I am going to raise the price to $2 for adult and teen stuff. The children over 7 will have to pay $2 as well.
     Come out and support! Dates and time will be posted sometime in the next week. (:

First Fundraiser!

So, it is fall and a lot of church's are having fall fest! I am think that I should have one too! My grandpa he is a preacher at a church and that church loves me! They have had fall fest in the past but nothing like I am planning. I know that each of the women in the church will be willing to cook or contribute in someway so I dont have to worry about that! I am excited because I know so many people with perfect resources to make this happen and make at least $1000! I was thinking about having a talent show and having each contestant pay $1 to enter! They could show off their talent that God has given them to the community! Hayrides are definitely an option! I know people with trailers and that grow hay! Each family would pay $2! Who likes face-painting? I do! Each child (or adult) could have their face painted for just $1! I think that this could really be successful! There will be no charge for food but we will be taking donations at the end of the talent show if we make this happen. All of the money goes towards missions in Africa and helping me get there! Please give me feedback on what you think about this! Thanks!

A Perfect Message!

This morning my pastor preached the perfect message for me. If it is God's will he will provide what you need to succeed. Throughout these 9 months I will lose faith and worry that things might now work out... But if it is his will for me, he will send me. I know that this is my calling. It has been for about 6 years now. Ever since I was young I knew that I wanted to grow up and be a missionary! I just knew! And for the rest of my life I plan to be a missionary! It is so amazing to see what God is doing through me to reach others. I become overwelmed by the power he holds inside of his hands! I have been on mission trips in the past and it is just so amazing when you see children who don't know Jesus when you first meet them, but throughout your time with them you see a transformation! They become a new person! Their sin is covered by the blood of Jesus and they are saved!

God wrote this

In the midst of my trials, you see my pain, my struggles, and you make a way for me,  I can see where I need to be! You can tell when im lost you’re my God you paid the cost, you, you,

 I need your love I need your help your all I need there’s nothing else. You’re my God!

Change my heart change it now cause you are all I need.

In the dark I find my way, you are my escape. I find all I need in you I find it all in you. You!

Oh you change my heart make it new, make it only and always for you, change my heart make it see, all the things it needs to be. Change my hearts cleanse it now; you can make me over somehow. Make me see, you are everything I need to be change my heart Lord change me.

i was sitting here and just started singing words in a perfect harmony.... I wrote them down. God created a song for me.

For today is new

As I posted last night, I was super worried about getting the money for this trip. I am no longer worried. If God wants me in Africa he will get me there! He will provide me with the money I need and plenty of prayer warriors to lead me through. My God is an awesome God and he always provides for me, no matter what. Even if I do not get the money, he will give me another pathway to follow... I trust in my father for everything. Everytime I feel unloved I think of what Jesus did for me... He gave his perfect life so I, a sinner, could live! If that doesn't make you think, I don't know what will.

Verse that has helped me this week : "Cast all of your anxiety upon the Lord, he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
