Update:

.
Mission New Orleans was great. I have to say it was very different than last year(but not in a bad way). I learned a lot throughout the week, most of which didn't have anything to do with New Orleans. But God spoke to me through it, nonetheless.

Some of the things that God brought to my attention were relating to how I take things too seriously and put others people and things higher than God. I've spoke with a lot of people who thought about this same thing during New Orleans too.
But anyways, this is something I've struggled with my whole life(being a sinner and all), but jealousy and worthlessness became more of an issue about two years ago, and it's never ceased to get me down every now and then. I've always known that it's a problem. I've always known that my lifestyle needs to change and my priorities straightened out. I've tried to give the situation to God many many times but something always holds me back. I know that I rely on my friends too much, because I know that if I don't always get encouragement from the right people at the right time than I'm going to be a little disappointed. I'm going to be honest with you, I'm a selfish person when it comes to that. I don't like to admit it, but I know I am, and I know that needs to change. God needs to be my first priority. Not only that, but I want to have joy in putting Him first!
That's mainly what God spoke to me a lot about in New Orleans, and I'm sure darn glad I was there to hear it.

God didn't stop speaking to me when New Orleans was over. For the past few days I've been thinking about my lifestyle. Are my actions and decisions in line with what God wants? Well, I don't know, but it seems like some of the decisions I've made about my future don't feel right.
God may be telling me to change my "plans", or even change my desires. To be honest, I haven't made much plans about my future, but there are plenty of things that I really want and hope to see happen, which maybe I shouldn't even be thinking about or putting much effort into.
I'm still talking to God about this though..
Maybe I'll update on this later.

Pray for me.
Pray for my relationship with God, my decisions, my relationships with other people, and school.
School isn't going well right now.
My mom's threatening to put me in a traditional school if I don't get more A's.
*shrug*

ok look katie when u feel like somethings holding u back from giving it all to God, thats satan attacking you and YOU HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST IT!!! ive learned recently that you CANT give up or get discouraged. you have to fight against it in Jesus' name. dont ever hesitate to give it all to God, and whatever you do, you need to remove all doubts from your mind. the Bible says talks about "the prayer offered in faith". i can give u verses if u want. i learned about not doubting the hard way. i doubted when i asked God for help, nothing happened, and so satan used that against me and i got really discouraged and put down. you HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE THINGS!trust me.
