Here I am worshipping you-ooooo

Geography

So here I am sitting in Geography class taking notes on the el laptop (it's literally on my lap right now) :) I am sitting here bored and in pain (because I am sitting in this awful chair) thinking and pondering of the juicy orange I will eat when I get home!!


I am also sitting here thinking what is Brittany thinking and I wonder what Nathaniel is thinking while he is in his class two doors down from me :)


Then I am thinking about my Great news I was going to tell everyone......here it is


 I got to speak at the lovely ladies day of excellence at church....not only that but in the Fashion class as one of the teachers. WOW big boost to my confidence.


              Why big boost well HELLO Teri asked me to help her out in the fashion class meaning she thinks I have great fashion which made me excited cause she dresses so nice and it was great to see she thinks I have great fashion sense too (wooohooo me) :)

Fashion

So she asks me please talk about inner beauty...."because you know that anyone can have nice clothes but it takes a real woman to actually be BEAUTIFUL"


So I immediately start praying God please show me what to say, what to share, and how to get my view out to the women I will be speaking to.


I don't even start to think about the older women I will be pouring into until after I start my message. Believe me it is a huge thing to be able to talk for 10 minutes to a room of women who are really taking in what I am saying.


So I get my material ready and I am oober stoked to share it with Teri in our meeting, well we couldn't have our meeting because of our schedules and so I emailed her my outline.


As I emailed her she asks if I could call her because we couldn't meet, so I'm like oh gee it's a horrible outline and I am not conveying my thoughts well.....awww nuts....so I call her as I am on my way home from work and she says, "Well I really liked all of what you wrote...I liked it so much that I said to myself Wow Chantella needs to speak more often"


WOOOW that was awesome news to hear as well. I was so excited that prayers were getting answered and that I could do so much in such a short amount of time it seemed. So I am so excited for the event...bummed I couldn't wear my awesome pink leopard/zebra converse but so excited that I am a teacher for this event....my name was on the pamphlet and everything that was pretty awesome.




Prayer

 So I keep praying God please help me to convey what I am trying to say to these women....please help my nerves to be calm and let me make an impact on somebody.....even though it was fashion let my words come out powerful..


The first class gets into the room....YIKES such harsh stares from the older women in the group and yet it's the end of the day so it's explainable why they are not in happy moods but gee whiz talk about scary....so to me (being the worst critic) I was so nervous that I felt like I couldn't even swallow and all my saliva was about to come pouring out of my mouth (sorry for the visual) and then the class was over...wow that seemed to go by fast. Second group is here and I still have that nerve feeling but I was like, "NO SHAKE IT OFF" so I did and WOWZA

Shaking it off

I did so much better during the second one, I was really able to get my point across and I was so Excited that it came out and I made them laugh which was even better and some of the women looked like they were going to cry (mainly the ones who are usually the ones teaching me) it was awesome to see how proud they were of me and where I have come and what is still to come. !! :)


Wow one awesome blessing and I cannot wait to do so much more I LOVE it.

Teacha Teach :)

This is my outline of what I spoke on~
I want to first start off with the scripture



*Proverbs 19:22 The first line (NLT version) "Loyalty makes a person attractive"


I will then talk about how honor, integrity, obedience, reliability, and trustworthiness are all synonyms for loyalty and how all of these characteristics make a woman abundantly attractive.
I then want to go into the story of Rebekah becoming Issac's wife. Genesis 24: 13-20 (a few verses to make the point more clear)


*I'll read through 13-20 and then talk about how Rebekah was loyal even when she thought it was nothing other than getting water for Issac and his camels.
*Then Colossians 4:5 "Live wisely among those who are not believers and make the most of every opportunity"
*I will then tie each of those to the acronym~LOYALTY


L~Let


O~Only


Y~Your


A~Attitude


*Like Rebekah she immediately was willing to drop her water jug to offer water. She didn't say to Issac, "HA go get it yourself she sacrificed and said, "here I will even give your camels water" Not just a sip of water but she gave them water until they were not thirsty anymore.


~Make sure that you are not just dressing nice and pretty but you are acting that way too, through your attitude (when people are looking and when they are not) Make sure your loyalty to the house is reflecting your beauty.


~When you are asked to do something do it with loyalty and grace, make sure your integrity is keeping up with your attitude. As ladies we can easily see through people and when people look at you and see you make sure they are seeing the great things you are, your willingness to do things for the house.


L~Love


T~The


Y~Yada (I'll explain Yada is praise in motion, "The act of lifting hands")


~My mom always told me "no matter where you are always remember to keep the house of God is cleaner then when you first got there" By that she meant no matter how messy someone left it before you got there it is your LOYALTY to the house to make sure his house is clean. The world is God's house and to me that means even if no one is looking at what I may be doing if I see a piece of trash on the floor that at least 100 people have walked over I make sure to pick it up and throw it away.

Bible love=Electrifying

~Even while in service with the announcement flyer don't just leave yours on the seat because "It's the ushers job to clean it up, they volunteer to clean up" no make sure that your beauty is showing through your actions.


~The act of lifting your hands with love make sure that when you are willing to do things for anywhere in this world you are doing it as an act of love to Jesus, whether it's preparing a presentation, handing someone a plate of food, taking care of children, designing/decorating a house make sure that you are YADA-ING praising him even when others may be doing wrong because HE sees what you are doing and he is the only one that ultimately matters.
**In the end let only your attitude love the yada! because praising and lifting your hands for him and letting your beauty SHINE through the work and time you put in will reflect your beauty because God doesn't want a lazy LIONESS he wants one with a GROWL who knows what she's doing!
