Internship

Ok! so, i'm here in Florida! Largo, Florida! it is awesome here! only like a small shower of rain for 30 min to an hour each day-nothing like bad storms. I've been down here for less than a month now, I know pretty much the layout of the general areas...at least street wise. I already have a job-which i had within about 36-40 hours from getting here! GOD is Awesome! and i do not know how i could manage without HIM! i couldn't! i know this, because i've tried! yes-recently, i have tried...but it only lasted a couple of days-i was MISERABLE!!!

So, anyway, i'm doing an internship down here under Josh Martin-my former youth pastor (who is awesome and Loves JESUS btw-not a fake yp). The reason I am down here is because GOD sent me. I was attending Lee University in the fall of '07 (my first semester of college) and about a month into it, GOD told me i would not be there until i graduated. i didn't know how to take this at firts, but i continued to go to classes (if i wasn't still sleeping from being up until 4 am because of watching movies all night). GOD did Awesome stuff-and taught me more that i thought i could learn in the time period of just my first 2 semesters! if you doubt GOD, or ever have, d0n't. just don't. ask HIM to show HIMself to you, and HE will. doubting GOD is not fun-trust me! I also learned of the Love aspect of GOD-which will blow you away!!! but back on track...lol.

by the 3rd semester, i seemed to hit a wall. nothing seemed to be working right. so i inquired of close people, and my parents (who are Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and wise!) and GOD (who supplies all of that!) and everything seemed to just fall into place for me to just do some kind of internship. That was cool! "i can handle that", i thought. so, i was like, "GOD, send me where you want me." and there were places that could have been a good place for me to do this at, but nothing was working. i seemed to have hit another wall. well, GOD is Awesome! (you can't come against this! seriously! it can't be done!!! "better" and smarter and more "qualified" people than you have tried at this, and have completely, epicly - failed! But that's ok! Because JESUS is standing there with open arms-seeking for you to come back! and to see HIM!-except HE's not really waiting-HE's completely persuing YOU! and HE can't be stopped! HE will not relent until HE has all of you!) well, after more prayer, and GOD moving, and inquiring, i learned that i could do this internship in Florida, and how my former youth pastor of 3 years is there, and i have family that is right there as well-like almost walking distance (except i'm not a fan of the heat-lol). and EVERYTHING was lining up! and GOD said to do it, so i said "yes!" and He told me when i needed to do it-so, 11 1/2 months later...here i am!

haha, i was going to just say what one of our first challenges are...but GOD apparently has different plans! HE gets glory for all of this! for real!!! i have nothing. HE is richer than EVERYBODY! not all the money in the world could buy a single thing from HIM! HE gives Love-and we receive it, or we don't. We also don't really understand that EVERY bit of Love comes from HIM!!!!!! we do not have a single smallest piece of it on our own! Everything good we have-is because of HIM! wether you believe it or not!
now, (HE's awesome!) i love GOD, i just can't get over it! HE's so awesome there's not a word to properly say it! haha! HOLY! HE is so Holy and awesome! allsome (apparently that's how i pronounce it) and HE overflows us with joy!!! We canNOT do anything without HIM! haha, how mind-blowing is that! :D How awesome!!! How HIS Love endures!!! How HIS Love broke throuth!!!!!!! YOU, GOD have put this Love in my heart!!!!!!! My life is NOT complete without YOU, JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, we have this challenge-over the course of the next 90 days!
The challenge? To read the entire BIBLE! it's not too bad!..but here's the numbers. (which are as of 1:30 am-the current time. September 1st-Day 1)
90 days=2,160 hours. 1.5 hours are gone, so now i have 2,158.5 hours left!
The BIBLE i'm using has 1,034 pages! That's .479036 pages per hour!
There are 1224 chapters in The BIBLE! That's .5670604 chapters per hour!

doesn's seem too bad, right? not at all, but there's sleep, and a job, and the internship, and worship/prayer, and hopefully gettting a second job within this...so if i keep up with...
11.48 pages per 24 hour day.
13.6 chapters per day.

i did not get into how many verses...if we want to extend it to 100 days, i will do that adding up, but that's not the point.
the point is. I have sadly Not read the entire Love letter from GOD we call the BIBLE! and i need to! and this will help me!!!!
