Ok. This conference is what my heart is definitely yearning for, but at the same time, when I look at when it is, my heart feels like it's been stabbed a couple of times. January 28 - 30th. That's a big problem considering the fact that I have school on tuesday and wednesday and it's chemistry we're talking about. If I miss anything of it, I don't think I'd survive. Plus, I've already signed up for the class so I don't want to drop it. But I guess I can look at my schedule and see if it'll be a huge huge conflict, but as of right now, it could be. There's a big possibility that it is, but I pray to God that he's going to provide a way for me to still be able to go to this conference and still have enough class credit so that I may pass chemistry. So please. Pray for me. Pray for Stacey as well if she wants to go to this. For this conference, my heart is yearning so bad that I think I might get a massive heart attack if I can't go. My heart wants to go to it so that I can expand my knowledge of how to write more efficiently for God because it's what I love to do. Writing is my own expression, whether it may seem like it or not. To be honest, I will cry if I can't go. I will, trust me. Also, I want to get to know the speakers that will be there to help us and mold us into better writers and to make new friends who have the same interests as I do. I don't think I would need to persuade whoever is reading this right now (like Jack *cough) for me to pass an "interview" to go to this conference, because I don't need to explain something so beautiful to me, something such as writing, to you when it's clear that you already know what to do. I've encountered this magnificant ability for God and my own self that makes me happy and surely makes God happy as well. I've been equiped with the materials and will (by God's Grace) further train in more advanced circumstances to then be sent out one day with this capability at hand. I Thank You God for this ability and I will praise You with it.
I really want to be apart of this. Prophecy, Prayer, and Power. Prophecy is a calling to some of us and what motivates us is the Prayer molded with love and compassion for the one we're praying for and for that, we have Power because God is with us. This is my vague reason to wanting to go to this conference. Whether or not you accept this, this is where my heart, no, where God wants me to go. Just now, when I looked at this E-flyer, I had this very big nudge at my heart. The nudge was telling me, "You just have to go to this conference!" For me, it's weird to receive that because for other conferences, Jack or Annie would be the ones to advise me to go and I'd be like "yeah, ok. If my dad lets" ya know? But, and this is despite all the preaches and encouragements that I've had this past few months, I had this nudge and I knew that it was God telling me that I needed to go to this conference. I just have this feeling that something will happen, something that will forever remain in my heart. I noticed that with each conference I go to in the past, leading up to these following conferences, I just felt like I'm getting more willing to expand my region as a christian. I want to be able to go to different conferences and meet new people and expand my connections. (What Annie was talking about earlier tonight). My heart is yearning for this opportunity.There's also the jesus culture event on february 1st & 2nd but I don't think it's really calling out to me like these two conferences are. Plus, if I do go, I'd miss a week of school. Please pray about it for me and don't worry, I'll be praying about it too! :) Thank you!!!!!

My dear, u do have a gift in writing. There's a sweet professional calmness to your words, and I'm glad ur willing to sharpen God's gift for you:)
But when u said that without this gift, without writing, u wudn't noe where ur identity in God's kingdom, it worried me nei..see I only learned recently from Jaeson Ma (cd), that our identity cannot be found within our works, or our ministry, because u noe wut? Even if u cudn't write for toffee, God wud still adoore u! It's very gud to make use of the gifts that God gives us to glorify Him, but it's crucial we do it in thanks and love, not as a definition of who we are. Sry if I sound preachy, I'm recently learnin this too, we're aaall in this together~ (highschool musical pwaha)God LOVES your passion to use your gifts to glorify Him, but keep in mind that He already loves u, and will still just as much if u didn't write. We can't earn our way into the kingdom of heaven, cuz it's wut God did, not wut we do. Jazzy baby, u already play a major role in his kingdom..ur identity is his precious princess, his treasured daughter. A talented one:) OWN IT, babe.
Oh, and for the record, u'll always be my favorite french fry, even if u turned into a vegetable and cudn't do jack:)
.... i understand
