Blogging~One Year Anniversary /Thanksgiving

Today has been one year since I've been blogging!!! Wow time sure does fly.

Today is also Thanksgiving.........and I have sooo much to be thankful for! (God in my life, family, and friends and my iPhone..lol)

I spent my Thanksgiving up north in PA visiting my cousin Stephanie. My aunt(Stephanie's mom-lives in Louisville) and I drove up here with her. I haven't been up here since I was about 12 years old....crazy! Steph's parents divorced and that was it, Steph staid here with her dad and My aunt and my other cousin moved back to KY.. I'm so glad i had the opportunity to come up here and spend it with Steph b/c she only gets to see us once a year at random times.

Even though I wasn't with my immediate family, I set all selfishness aside and came here to spend it with her since she doesn't get the chance and Believe me she's very thankful for that!:)

Going fishing..........God said to be fishers of men......lol

SO it seems like everyone is wanting to hook me up with someone here lately! DO i look like i need to be hooked up or something?...lol
Lets see here....

*My stepdad's friend Jack wants to hook me up with his cousin, but the funny thing is my stepdad also noted that I won't even look at the guy if he's not even cute...lol And Jack said I have to bake him cookies before he does any match making.

*My aunt called me and wanted me to go out with one of her clients.....he's 47 lol

*My other aunt met a guy on the subway in NYC and told him about me....now he wants me to e-mail him.. He's a accountant in NYC.(there's my ride to NYC...lol jk)

*My mom's friend wants me to meet her co-worker that works at YUM with her.

*My cousin from PA wants to introduce me to two of her friends while i'm there for Thanksgiving. (one is 35 with kids....she said the other is nerdy........okay!)

Anyone else?.......lol

A message from a friend

I got this myspace message tonight from a friend that i used to run around with............i'm excited! God is amazing!

Hey its ***** how are you? I am writing because me and my friend were looking at your church and thinking about going sometime. What Sunday service time do you go to? Well just let me know maybe I can meet you up there one Sunday or something. Talk to you soon.

Listening to his voice

Last night at church Pastor Boggs called a alter call, he said anyone who wanted to get the gift of the Holy Ghost to come on up....the alter filled up with about 40 people! I was soo excited, he then started telling people that wanted a refill to come up! So many people answered to the call. He asked all the alter workers to come, unfortunately there wasn't enough. Then he asked all the leaders in the church to help out to. I consider myself a leader in the church since I'm the athletic director so I went up there. I saw a husband a wife with two children, desperately trying to get the gift, but they couldn't break through b/c they both had a kid on their hip. So i grabbed up both kids and stood back praying, then Jackie came to my rescue and took of them from me.
As I was standing there praying for everyone ..and i started feeling sick, i just got my tonsils out and that was my first time actually getting around a lot of people since my surgery. I started feeling weak and my temp started to rise...i know i had a fever along with a kid on my hip. That's when God started speaking to me ....he said go go Krystel you have the gift plus i have given you the gift to help people get the holy ghost..
God gives me words to speak and i have the gift of pushing them though...i used to be in the children's ministry at all of my previous Church's camps...i have helped over 100 plus kids pray though to the holy ghost........it was an awesome experience in my lifetime. Then I used to go to my uncles church and have helped many kids there also....that's when God spoke to me and told me i was going to be a Children's Missionary. Also at my old church i have been there with over 20 teens helping them press though and get the holy ghost. I don't know it's like God has a special touch on me and i know how to help people.
So last night God really dealt with me..he wanted me to be there to help people, i was hesitate b/c i didn't feel good and i had a kid to hold and usually all the prayer workers are there for them...but there wasn't enough. I listened to God.....I my not have helped everyone but I did help one person....it was awesome and she spoke in tongues for the first time!!!!!!!!!!
God gave me a wake up call.......that i still have it in me and i need to be there to help others. I need to quit sitting back and just watching.
Words can not explain how much God is doing at NVMC...I'm so excited to see what else he has in store!

California Wildfires

My friend Chad (the one i just went to visit in May)from Cali lives in the OC sent me these pics of the wildfires! It's soo close to his home! crazy!!

How my surgery went~!

Ok so every ones calling and texting etc about how I'm doing and how my surgery went! (I still can't talk/carry on a converstation)

Lets see my surgery started at 8:30am and I was out by 10:30am. Doctor said I had some huge tonsils, were bigger than most peoples. And, they were outties instead of inny...like belly buttons he said..lol Anyways he said that he had to cut deeper than most peoples so that recovery would take longer than most. Also when you get your tonsils taken out as a adult it takes a lot longer to heal than as when you get them out as a child. So anyways after surgery,while i was still in the OR i woke up and couldn't breathe. They had to give me oxygen for about 30 minutes to get me to the normal ranges again. Then they sent me to my room where they tried to force me to drink ..didn't happen! I immediately started getting sick, well i couldn't throw up b/c it hurt so bad...so they had to give me a suppository...lol i told them there was no way..but i had to get rid of the nausea's in order to get my pain meds...Well i was in soo much pain that they have to give me steroids and morphine! Then they forced me to drink again b/c i couldn't go home until they knew i was going to drink and be able to take my liquid meds. I ended up getting a few sips down by 3:30 and was able to go home around 4:00 I did not want to stay the night!!

So for days now I've been eating nothing but soup, applesauce, pudding, I'm sooo sick of it!! And i can barely talk too...i have to strain in order to talk it really sucks!! I sleep 4 hours take my meds and go back to sleep...my life pretty much sucks right now!
So keep me in your prayers that I will be able to start eating more than soup soon!:)

You might be a redneck if...

Ok so I know times are hard, and we can't afford a heated toliet seat nor a heated towel rack...........so my mom comes home with this today and puts it in the bathroom....lolol

confession

Ok... I will have to admit, I have no problem inviting people to church! But , I've been friends with this guy for a few months now, n I'm really interested in him but I'm too scared to invite him to church. He knows I go to church and hes okay with that. But, he doesn't go anywhere and I know that if we do continue our relationship somethings gonna give. I just know in by heart that it's not gonna be me, n I want him to experience the relationship I have with God. I don't know what to do or how to approach him about coming to church... Any ideas??
