Simply his Nations.

Before I laid my head to sleep a couple of week ago, I heard the spokesperson of 94.1 say
"How great God is, that he created each generation different with a purpose, we are designed to live in this period, we are designed to live in the end of times, the coming of Christ is soon."
It's the last thing that ran through my mind
before I closed my eyes to sleep.
5 a.m. my eyes open only to hear on the radio
that the earth shook with all its might,
In Japan, a earthquake of 8.9.



  I could not go back to sleep,
 I stayed awake only to hear that the tsunami had happen next and millions were expected to be found dead.
Then the girl who I grew to love & appreciate tremendously came to my mind Miyu. Miyu is a foreign exchange student from Japan.
I was concerned about her family and about how sad it must be to watch your country fall to its knees....
 So I called, I felt bad for waking her up to let her know this but it was for the best.  They  attempted to get in touch with her family, but all they got was a text message from her mom saying they were okay.






West Davidson game was that afternoon, on our way there Miyu tried to call her mom for the 458244528 time.
"It's Ringing! It had not rang before, it's ringing!"
"Maam, Maaaaam!"
It didn’t take a rocket science to figure out the words mom , it immediately  brought tears to my eyes, they're okay and Miyu got the chance to hear her voice and to tell her she loved her. Not only that but we came home with a win 4-3, Miyu scoring her first goal and making a beautiful assist. For her country!


I strongly believe that Japan will rise again, they did it once with the atomic bomb, they can do it again. It's terribly sad that mother nature hit them with her most powerful resources, fire , water & earth. God's testing our faiths, our willingness to help our neighbors.
I pray & pray & pray for all nations, I want so badly to yell out to the world, that God will never leave them, nor will he forsake them. No matter what part of the world, what language we speak, the color of our skin, let’s not forget that we are all under one GOD, we are his Nations
 Lord, we plead you , to have mercy on your people.
Let the power of prayer begin. After the storm, he promises peace.

Simply Beffers Birthday.

Sixteen reasons why I love Beffer ...


One.  Her heart, she has a heart the size of the ocean. You could throw lemons at her head, and she will bring you back a jar of lemonade and say thank you...

Two. I understand some one's nice beautiful heart is a big deal, but this almost tied with number one..
When she makes me sweet potatoes with brown sugar & butter.... :) yum!

Three.  She loves God.  She revolves herself in his grace, she's hungry for his love, and it shows with every word that comes out of her mouth.

Four. She loves her Family, no matter what gets in the way, what has happen, what has been said, she loves every single member of her family.  Her family always comes first to her.

Five. She loves me. I can't thank her enough for that. For being a best friend to me, for putting up with me , for listening to me.

Six. Her love for her game. She is a great teammate , a great volleyball, basketball , softball player. She does work and pours her heart out in the court/field.


Seven.  Her strength.  She is so strong, life has thrown obstacles in her way, she always overcomes them, and there is nothing she cannot do.

Eight.  Her sense of humor. She Cracks me up, never fails to do something completely dumb to make me laugh.

Nine.The fact that she's a klutz, if it can fall and it's in her hands, it will fall. & I love it.

Ten. Her messages. She will literally write you a 20 page text message just about how cool she thinks something is. Seriously. It's great. (:

Eleven. Her withdraws. If she misses you, she will say it 4875928748x till she sees you.

Twelve. Her excitement. There's nothing that makes me smile more then when she gets excited, she smiles so big I swear her face will stretch a mile long, and she squeals, yeah that's right she squeals really really loud.

Thirteen.  When she messes up. Her face will immediately turn red, her mouth will drop, but you only see it for a second or two, because both hands will fly to cover her mouth and her eyes glow.. How cute.

Fourteen. She eats like a 31 year old grown man. She runs to lunch every day, and will eat mostly anything that looks good and even something’s that don't.

fifteen. The way she treats everyone. She respects everyone at all times, everyday. She treats people exactly how humans are intended to be treated.

Sixteen. Her simplicity. She's simply Jessica; simple, simple simple, never complicates anything, but whose life will take her far bigger places then this old simple town.
  Happy Birthday to the most amazing person I know, to the girl who is my best friend. I hope God grants you many many many many more birthdays. Follow that ocean size heart and continue to drown people with that immense love you give. I love you , always. always.always.
