What are we here for?

 Why are we on this Earth?

We are here to share our truths, to share the Word. We are not here to sit week after week absorbing and never giving, or maybe not giving til it hurts, or maybe not giving til we're empty.

We are here to get up and get out and help and share. We cannot just sit and let life happen.

Who am I to think the only place I can get the Word is at church? That's just a building. WE are the church and it's our time to be the church!

Pastor Randy Young had an awesome message on Sunday.

God is a teacher. Teachers never talk or teach during a test. That's our time to shine and show what we've learned. God is silent during tests, but every test with Him is an open book test!  That's so good, and exactly what I needed to hear.

Too many men and women go to their grave with their music still inside them.

I want to play every last note that the Lord has created me with.
Lately, I have been so busy, from school to work and wedding planning. But it hit me, that more than I want it to, life has been happening, I've set aside time to go to church, but what I should really be setting aside time for is to BE THE CHURCH.

Why Michelle with Double L's?

I felt the need to describe why I titled the blog this...what can I say I'm a people pleaser

So, as I was sitting here thinking about this whole blogging thing and what the heck I'd call it, and I was thinking about my experience as a server. Whenever I meet someone new I always try to connect with them in some way (I think most people do that)

First: Introductions, I tell this new guest my name and as part of working at the mac shack you write your name upside down (and backwards in my case) usually the person comments on how hard it must be to write upside down, and like all the other servers there you say blah dee blah blah and laugh about it

But in some cases they have a connection to your name, in my case Michelle. Maybe it's their own name, maybe a close friend or daughter. What do you say to that though? Maybe you have a better come back but usually I'm sort of akward in saying Ooh cool, its a good name... But it's totally cool for some reason when your name's Michelle to ask whether you spell it with one "L" or two, this makes more of a connection. Something extra that you talk about, what the background is, why you like your way, and why think it's better ... because no matter which way you spell it your way is  always better.

So there it is... Michelle with Double L's

Getting Started in the wonderful world of Blogging!

Hello, so I finally decided today I think I'd like to start a blog :)

So here's a short "about me" for maybe some of you who don't already know

I'm Michelle.

Here, I'd like to share my view and expirience as a twenty something lady getting married, loving Jesus, decorating, diy projects, working, finsihing school, interpreting and everything else as we go through this thing called life.

Here's my finacee and I

And as you might be able to see all that has been on my mind lately is:

Wedding!

And decorating, lights, center pieces, candles, dresses, and everything else that goes along with that...

I hope you have an awesome day! Thanks for taking the time to stop by :)
