Pray for The Called and Compelled Ministry!

2010-04-18T12:15:00.000-07:00

Through my journey with Christ,i have learned that pray is on of the strongest things. Sometime as Christians we fell like the only time that we can life people up before the Lord is when something is rocky in their lives, but we need to learn that it doesn't have to be that way. We can lift anyone at anytime before the Lord. So i want to ask you guys to pray for Called and Compelled Ministries. The people in this ministry are very close to my heart, and i would like for you guys to life them up before the Lord for the next week. Things in this ministry are working out like any other ministry, not as smooth as we would like, but God is still working through them. So please lift them up for the next week at least and if willing for now until ever! Ask God to continue to use them while they work with the people of Honduras, that he gives them opportunities that will lift his name and that he gives them the strength that they may need to keep going.
Thank you so much for lifting my friends before God!

Follow You!

You lived among the least of these
The weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away.

All my needs you have supplied.
When I was dead you gave me life.
How could I not give it away so freely?

And I'll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow you into the World.

Use my hands, use my feet
To make your kingdom come
Through the corners of the earth
Until your work is done
'Cause Faith without works is dead
And on the cross your blood was she'd
So how could I not give it away so freely?

And I'll follow you into the homes that are broken.
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.

Follow you into the World.

I give all myself.
I give all myself
I give all myself... to you.

And I give all myself.
Yes, I give all myself.
And I give all myself... to you.

And I'll follow you into the homes that are broken
Follow you into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.

Follow you into the World.

What a wonderful song! This is one of my favorite songs right now! To me it tells were Jesus was when he was he on earth and i love that. That's where i want to spend the rest of my life. I know that it won't always be easy but i want to life for him, so if that means going through hard times in life, let it be! He hung on the cross for us and we can never repay him for that, i feel that the least we can do is live a life for him! i really just like the lyrics of this songs... i just love them!!

This weekend the youth group from Belpre Church of Christ went to a big youth rally called Winterfest.Before leaving for this weekend i started reading Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne and it has really made me think a lot about life and helping the poor and outcast. So this weekend when go to Winterfest God set someone in front of me and made me think a lot about this subject.
At Winterfest between sessions your group has time to walk around Gatlinburg, TN and just look in the stores and different things. When walking around Gatlinburg with some girls from the youth group we saw this guy that was in this little shopping park, that had a ball and was doing all kinds of tricks with it. So one of the girls was watching him and we had stop while one of the other girls was in a store and the one girl asked the rest of us if we were interested in going and ask him if there was anything that we could pray for, for him. So we all kind of just sat there not really answering her for about the next 5 minutes. In that 5 minutes God was speaking to me. He said this to me " Delaney see that guy, you need to go ask him. I am giving you an opportunity to do something that you enjoy doing and something i have given you a desire to do." So when God was speaking to me i still just sat there. Then the one girl was like i will be back i am going to go give him some money ill be back. So when she said that i got up and was like wait i am going with you because i knew God had given me this opportunity to live his kingdom and i needed to take it. So we went and talked to him! His name is Mercer and he travels around to different places to do tricks with the ball he was playing with in the park that day. So we got to talking with him and asked him why he did what he does and he said that he does it because he loves bring a smile to person faces and it brings a smile to his face. So he just travels around to put smiles on peoples faces. (How cool is that!!!!) So when we were done listening to him tell us about what he does, we asked him if there was anything we could pray about for him. So he told us that he walks every where he goes and wanted us to pray for safe travels and that he doesn't get hit by a car or anything like that!
God put him there i feel for me to learn a lesson then! Isn't God just awesome all the time :] So when you get a chance please pray for Mercer and safe travels for him! Also when you get the chance sit down and listen to the words of Follow You by Leeland and Brandon Heath!

God is _________.

So me and Kelsey made it here safe and sound. We didn't have any problems on the way done.
So we made it here. Jen picked us up at the airport and we went straight to the dump , talk about a wow! The first day at the dump if in a way hard. Kelsey had never been to the dump before, so it was kind of hard for her but it is good for your heart to get a little messed up at times and the dump does that for you. So that was part of our first day.
So we have been here for about 5 days and life for me right now is great. I love being here.We have been able to work with a group from GC(Grand Central) so some of the things that we have got to do with them has been really fun. Then after they left we have just been able to spend sometime with Carlos,Eduardo,Saul,the 5 boys and their parents. That for me has been a lot of fun. I love just being able to minister to them even if i do it really just for God. We have a lot of laughs with everything that has backfired on us. But we knew that God had a reason for it and went on with serving him.We have really just been having fun serving God! keep praying for us and keep reading this!

MOTHER TERESA! GOT TO LOVE THAT WOMEN!

2009-05-12T21:08:00.000-07:00

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
-Mother Teresa

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
-Mother Teresa

We can do no great things; only small things with great love.
-Mother Teresa

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it."
- Mother Teresa!

These are just some of the great words that God told Mother Teresa. I just need you guys to know that Mother Teresa is my idol!

Seach some of the things Mother Teresa did they are GREAT!

Im here!

2009-04-10T18:08:00.000-07:00

Hey guys i am so sorry for not writing since i have been here it has beens crazy since we have been here. We got here on wednesday and everyone met us at the airport(Jen,Mike,Sam,Jeff,Ashley,David,Carlos, Saul,Eduardo,Sarahi,Izzy). Then from there we went to Church's Chicken to eat with everyone. Then we were able to go to Jen's house and just spend time with each other and just sit around and just really get to start knowing each other even more. Thats all we did that night. Then yesterday we went out to Santa Ana and built a house with a bunch of people and can i just say that thats the fastest i have ever built a house we were done by 1. Then today we were able to spend the first half of the day at the house and then we went and got the group,went to eat at Church's Chicken because thats were the group always eats. Then we came to the mission house to just spend time together for a little. We had devo and that was awesome. All i have to say is that it is the first day with the group and i am already amotionly. So i have a feeling that this all be a good trip but also a hard one. So i need to you to keep praying for the whole group and for the hearts that we work with and for the hearts of those on this trip to be broken. Leave the comments!

"For i was hungry and you gave me something to eat, i was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, i was a stranger and you invited me in. i needed clothes and you clothed me, i was sick and you looked after me, i was in prison and you came to visit me.Then the righteous will answer him 'Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to vist you? The king will reply i tell you the truth whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine you did for me."
Matthew 25:35
I am sure all of you know that i have been going to Honduras once or twice a year for the past 4 or 5 years. In that time I bonded and grew closer to the people there; especially a small family of 4. Daisy and her 3 sons wove their way into the deepest places of my heart from the first moment I met them. They have a bleek existance as a typical Honduran family. The husband/father ran out on them years ago, Daisy is uneducated and lacking in a way to raise money for her family, and the boys struggle with the normal teenage temptations in Honduras: drugs, alcohol, and gangs. However, they have found a way to rise above. The boys are bright and inspired young men. They have defied all odds as they fought against they society in which they were born.
About a month ago the 3 boys moved in with Jen. She hopes to give them a chance to attend bilingual schools and learn trades that will guide them to a better future. Feeding three extra mouths hasn't been easy and paying for their schooling certainly hasn't been cheap but our God is good. However, last night they had to rush Carlos to the hostpital because he was in a lot of pain. They came to found out his appendix had ruptured and that he would need emergency surgery. He made it through surgery fine and will spend a few days recovering in the hospital. So now the thing to think about is how God is going to find money for this bill and praying that Carlos heals great. I believe that God has in his plan for us to call out for help for a friend so this is what i am doing. I am coming to you asking on behalf of Jen, Carlos, and myself that if you feel called to help out with this that you will. Matthew 25:35 talks about us being there for each other and reaching out to help in their time of need. I beg you to consider helping us find a way to cover the cost of this procedure. The doctors are estimating the surgery, meds, and hospital stay to be roughly $4,500. If you could send this as soon as possible that would be great.Please sends check (payable to Belpre Church of Christ) to 685 Timberline Drive Vincent Ohio 45784. Thank you so much.

God Bless,
Delaney

Six months/150 days

2008-11-21T04:47:00.000-08:00

Six months ago i was sitting in Honduras loving on little Hondurans, living my life dream.Six months ago people were getting food bags because of a group of Gods people living for him and doing his will.Six months ago 11 children in a children's home were getting loved on by 7 different people other than the normal people that are there every day.Six months ago a line of people got fed at the dump.Six months ago little ones in a disabled children's home found out that they are really loved because of a group of people living for God and going and visiting them and just loving on them. It is amazing what one touch of a hand can do for someone.
In about 150 days i will be sitting in Honduras loving on Hondurans, living my life dream. In about 150 days i will be hanging out food bags because of a group of Gods people living for him and doing his will. In about 150 days 11 children in a children's home will be getting loved on by different people other than the normal people that are there every day. In about 150 days a another line of people at the dump will have clean food. In about 150 days little ones at a disabled children's home will be getting loved on. Isn't it so amazing how loving the least can do some much in someones world. It is amazing what just living God's will for you can do fore someone else.

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “The King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?”
40 “Then King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of theses brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:31-40

i love hanging out with them!

2008-09-27T10:22:00.000-07:00

2008-08-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

I am here to tell you about two wonderful people that have just recently come into my life. They have treated me like i am something big. They have treated me like none of my other friends have before. There is not one time in my life that i would pass down spending time with them.They have their hearts set on other peoples life's and cares, also they have never thought a lot about themselves before they have thought about other people first. They bring joy to my day just by thinking about them and how wonderful of friends they are. But they are more than friends to me they are sisters. I love the love they have for God and that they want to live their lives for God and no one else other than him.
So Sam Butterfield and Anna Spivy thank you for the countless hours that you have spend thinking about me and praying for me. Thank you for treating me like i am something big.Thanks for the times that we have spend crying together because of things that we want to change but cant.Thank you for just loving me even thought there are so many things that aren't perfect in my life. Thank you for living for God. There is so much i can say , hut i have to stop now because i am going to cry because i am thankful. I can never say enough thank yous to you or God for letting me in your life.

I love you guys so much and i hope that i show that. THANK YOU!

Oh how hurting hearts bless.

2008-07-02T13:21:00.000-07:00

I know i haven't wrote on here in a long time but i felt that i should wrap things up for Honduras. The last couple weeks i have been at Casa De Esperanza where i have put my heart into. We have had sweet times with the kids but they have also had not so good times with the kids.

One little girl i want to talk about today is Daniela. WOW did she get my heart or what. I don't know what it is but this time we just kicked it off like we were suppose to know each other already. She says the sweets things to you. She never gets in trouble. But there are somethings you need to know . This little girl wasn't born that way. Daniela has been through a lot during her life. When we first got here at Casa De Esperanza Jen and Karen would not be able to hold her. They would have to put her in the middle of a room and just let her cry and move around crazy. This is because she had to much energy it was because she had been abused and was having flash backs of it and wouldn't want any one to touch her. Well she got better and now is the most loving little girl.

Well now i can say that i am proud to be a mommy to my little daugher Daniela. i wouldnt trade her for anything. But as a mother i would like to ask you to pray for my daughter , while we have been here in her little mind somethings have trighered something in her little head . So we think that she has been having flash backs agian. So i would like you to pray that those stop and that God shows me as a mother as i leave my little baby here in Honduras tomorow that he will tell me what to say to her and just what to do in her case.

I couple stories for you about me and her. The first i like a lot. We were laying in bed one night together( i think God has ways of talking to us through little kids and this was something i just need to hear.) and the kids are always acting crazy and asking your name. So we are laying in bed and she looks at me and she says what is your name and i was like you tell me you know my name and she looked in my eyes and said Jesus Jesus. i was like my name is Jesus and she was like yes. Then she told me my name. But has i thought why in the world did she say my name was Jesus i thought to myself i really need to hear that i need to know that i was being Jesus or that she saw Jesus in me.

The other story is that i told her last night that i was leaving thursday and she was sad but didn't say anymore about it and so we were laying in bad together last night and one of the tias was in there with me and the girls and she was like Dilm Dilm can i pray and Dilm was like yes hold on. So Daniela jumps back in bed with me and she looks at me and say i am going to pray for you and i was like who and she was like you. So she pray for me. I thought God i think you are telling me something i cant even pray ever night and i have a 5 year old that will pray for me every night until you come back please show me the way that i can pray more.

Thats just a little bit of things that went on here but i have a lot more stories just ask for them.

How is it that he knows?

2008-06-20T21:38:00.000-07:00

I wonder every day that i spend with the kids and they show me the really me and not the one that i make myself to be. They show me the broken heart, the love for others no happen what happens and has happened in their life. Just the REALLYme. It has been good.
I also asked myself why he put me here. Why he put the people of honduras in my life while i am down here. When i am not going to lie i try to hide from because i am selfish and not want to fell their pain that i dont have to know about i can just feel it. Or i can see it in their eyes. Or i dont want to look at them and know that they havent eaten a lot that day if the have eaten anything. That hurts a friends heart. i ask why not me ? why not me? Then he tells me in my ear because i called you to help your friends out that are in need. i just need prayers for what God is calling me to do and in what he needs me to same to a family that i love dearly that doesnt have food to eat like very one of you that are sitting in your nice rooms and on your nice computers just like i have and know that you have your next mean and that you dont have to pray about the next time that your family is going to have a meal. Just pray that we will be a answer to someones prayers even though we will never do it perfect help us to do our best. Thanks! PRAY HARD! love ya

What an amazing God!

2008-06-17T20:48:00.001-07:00

So I am guessing that you really want to hear what God is doing in my life and trust me he is doing a lot right now. He is giving me a mommy heart at a really young age which is good in a way because the people that I am being mom to really need it. He is showing me things that will change my life and that will make me look at things differently at a young age which is really good too. So I worked with the group when they were here. That was a blessing in itself. The first day that we got there we had to travel from San Salvador to get to Honduras which was fine. The second day, the day we did something was when we built to first two houses. It was so fun to get to see people that I knew and didn’t know to grow just on the first day and bless the people of Honduras and be blessed by the people of Honduras. I was fun for me because I was getting to work with people that I didn’t know and started to grow to know. I got to be with the kids and people of a different than I have worked with in the passed. So that was fun.
On the second day we got to go to Good Shepherd. I got to spend time with the girls that my dad has a bunch of love with and I got to spend some time with Julia the little girl that I met in the in spring when the Belpre group was down here. Then we went to Hospital Escuela WOW was that a hard trip or what. We just had a good time blessing the people that were in there and just use the powerful gift of prayer Couple stories for you guys. The group I was in went to a couple places and prays over people and that kind of thing and then we went to a different floor I don’t even know what floor it was but it was hard. The first room we walked in to on this floor was hard but we were looking like we were at the zoo. We looked at the kids there and went to the next room. Then God came out through a nurse. She took Jen by the arm and was like let me tell you the stories of two of these kids in here and took us back to the first room that we walked into. The first boy she took us to was nothing but skin and bone and I am not making this up half of you that will read these will never and have never seen anything like this. The nurse told us the story so I am here to do the same today and I am not telling you this story so that you will fell sorry for the kid I am telling you so that you can use the powerful gift of prayer. Heres the story: This boy isn’t even 15 yet cant breath right, cant talk anymore, and just isn’t the same because we sit around everyday and know that everything is good to go good in our world and don’t even take a minute to sit down and think about others and who we are going to help people. So now as you read this little boy still sits in the same bed because someone in his family was so out of control that they would take a machete to the back of his head more than once. Or for the other story that a dad of a girl would shot her in the face because he didn’t like her boyfriend. So think next time when life isn’t going how you want it to and think about the people that are in the other parts of the states or countries and rethink if you think that you have life bad.
On the third day we got to go and hand out food at peoples homes. That was another gift in itself. We got to walk from house to house being the body of Christ. We got to bless the people that we gave to food to, and just to bless the kids as the walked along us the whole time that we passed out food. We got to not only commune with the people but we also were doing it for God.
On the fourth day we were able to go to a special needs place that was fun. To see those kids when we walked in it was like we were bringing them something they had never seen. It was a bunch of fun. Then we went to the state run children’s home. God got me there I went into were the babies were and saw that they sat there all day and that got me because I know that one of the own children had to go through that and it wasn’t fun to get things worked out after she sat in her bed all day. Then we got to feed people at the Jesus statue and got the worship with them which I liked because it was telling people that no matter neither what color nor what we speak we can still get along. That was a really good day.
On the five day we got to build two more houses which was fun in its self because we got to spend time with the kids. That night we got to go to La Capaera.
On the six day we went to Didasko and to the valley of the angles and also we went to a very nice place to eat and then was able to go worship at the old church near by. That was a good worship.
On the seventh day we and as in we I mean Jen, Sam, Anna, Dan and I took the group to San Salvador and so we were there for the night and then the next day we took them to the airport. When we were down there God said to us you need a days rest so when we got to the hotel where we were going to get a bus back to Honduras. We went and said that we needed 5 seats and they said we don’t have that for today and so Jen went to another place to see if they had any and they didn’t so I think that it was God saying you need some rest before you go and spend time with the kids which was nice and so then we made it back to Honduras.
Today was our first day here at casa and I am so glad that I was one of the chosen ones to be able to spend time with theses kids and to love on them and to be loved on by them it is awesome. I have been reminded things today that I would have not be remind if I wasn’t here and so it is just a God thing that I am able to be here.
I would like to ask for your prayers as many of you know the first 5 boys that Casa de Esperanza had went back to live with their parents. We all had a hard time at that because we felt that we did something and then they were just going to go back and live like they did and nothing that we taught them would play back in their lives. Well as we hear today they are impacting or at lest trying to impact their parent’s life’s so just pray for them. Thank you for praying for me and I love you all! I hope to blog again soon!

Oh His Wonderful Ways

i don't know where to start about my God. He still is reminding every day of how blessed i am and how lucky i have it. So days the ways that he reminds me isn't that great and i sit back and i ask the famous question. Why them and not me Lord? I don't know about you but i think that we use that question a lot.
If you feel that you should helps us out there are many ways that i can think of that you can do that. There are many things right now that we are doing like the following.
1. We are still raise money for little Izzy
2. We are raise money for a family close to many people
3. We are still raise money for the children's home
and many others ways if you feel like just praying is right for you please please do that we need that one a day to day time. Things are like riding a ride down there . But God is doing that for a reason. For those of you that have been there i would just say it is just like living it honduran style.
I will try to get some of the people that are down there right now i will try to get their blogspots on here i am not really sure right now how to do that , but when i get it down i will put them on here and you can go to theres.
Please be praying for my sister and the others that are down there working right now. Please also be praying for the ones that are getting ready to go.Please pray just for the Hondurans.Please pray that every day that someone is down there that they are impacting the hondurans the way that it needs to happen.

I want you to ask this question every day: Have i prayed for your people Lord today like i need to every day?

Please tell your friends about this blog if they would like to now anything about Honduras. Or just email me at delaneylaughery@gmail.com

2008-04-13T10:44:00.000-07:00

I know that i really fell in love with her when i was don't there just a couple weeks ago.She is one of the cutest. If you want to hear more about her go to her blog spot hopeforhungrychildren.blogspot.com there will be more info on her there.

Here is a picture of her!

Why?

2008-04-07T13:05:00.000-07:00

So we traveled home today.Wow is that hard on the heart or what? Saying good-bye to your brother. To a baby that you really got close to when you know she isn't doing well. Has you think about the mom that lost the baby that she really wanted and all the things that you help bless people with this week. How isn't that hard.Also to watch the other people of the group say good-bye to the people that they love it just hurts the heart a lot.
Please be praying for the little baby Izzy for me. She isn't doing the best right now and i don't like being away from her when she is going through these things. Also please pray for my brother and his brothers . It really hurts me to see how they have to live and i ask myself why don't i have to live like that why them? If you would like to help with money things for Izzy or my brother please get a hold of me at delaneylaughery@gmail.com. Thanks please be praying for me as i am back from Honduras i am having a hard time with it.

Sorry about the delay!

Well a lot has happen since i last bloged. Um.. after i bloged last the next day we built 2 houses.That was really fun,we had a couple of people that got to much of the sun and got sick but are ok now.
But one of the favoirte is this storie right here. Jessica and i were taking a break and Karen one of the girls that works down here came over to Jessica with this little boy. Then looks at Jessica and says can you love on this little boy, i just got the bigger boys to stop picking on him and i told him that he was special and i asked him if he knew that and he looked at me and said i im not speical and no i didnt know that and so i would like it if you could try to keep them away. Well when i looked up at this little boy he was rough, lets just say that you can tell that he has had a hard life.So Jessica being the Jesus person she is said yes i will keep an eye on him.So Karen told him to sit down and Jessica just sat there and just look after him was he sat there and cry, she just rubbed his back as he cryed. But after watching this i cant believe that this little boys family had never told him that he is special i hear that all the time and it feels good but not to know that you are specail that has to hurt to know think that.But he not only has to think about him thinking that he isnt specail but also deal with all the family promble because you never know if he really lives with his family or not. So that is one of my favorite stories because i look at how special people tell me i am . Well i need to get off here Karen and Dan want to go to bed but i will write agian torromow if i have time thanks of listening.

In Him,
Delaney

I am Here!!!!!

So we went from the wedding to Honduras today! Long day we had a lay over in Huston and i was getting upset because i really really wanted to be in Honduras! But we got there and when i got here i had wonderful people waiting to see me and i was waiting to see them to! So when we got here we went to the blind school and we hung out with them for a little bit and we gave them things that make sound and that feet soft to them! After that we went in and they sang for us the best part. As i sat there and watched them have all that energy they have i got to thinking, it would make life so much better if when i am having a bad day if i would just change it around and just sing my heart out for Jesus or even if i just had have of the energy they do any day for my WONDERFUL God! So they first thing i did got me thinking which is good.Then we sang for them and their faces how i would just love to be like that all the time. There hasn't been one time when we were at the blind school and they children weren't happy. They are always happy to see us and always happy to sing for us and to be sang to! It not only is fun to us because we get to sing to our God but we love doing to make their day a lot better!After all the sing we got a time just to spend as a group and get to know each other better. Well here again God is so good i have been praying for months now that i would say the right things around two people that i had in mind but also everyone but i got to spend time with those two people and it wasn't a lot that i said to them but it was a start and i just hope that God will just give me the right actions and right words to say to them.So this was my first day in Honduras and i love it. I was able to come to Honduras and start living life for a couple days that are my family and i know that we will just be blessing each left and right just because of our wonderful God. The group and me will be building 2houses tomorrow please just pray that we bless these people like they need to be blessed.

I would like to start off by saying a pray on here.
Dear God,
I am coming to you right now and just saying i will stand for you Lord. Make out of me what your plan is, Lord use me whatever you would like. I would like you to put your hand on some very special Hondurans that are just having a hard time right now. Just helps me and the whole group to have a great impact on this people when we are down there, and that they may change and follow you Lord. Lord help us not to focus on us anymore but on others. Just helps to be what you what us to be to people that don't know you. Put the right words in our months when we are talking to them. Put the right actions in us when they are watching and all the time. I hope that we will show that our purpose is you and nothing else.Lord just be with us through the whole time help it not to only change to people of Honduras but also me.Be with us when we are there and all of our days helps to live for you only.
In you name and your name only

He is amazing and we just need to get out there and touch people with him word they don't even have to be the same age as us all that matters is that we love God enough to sure his awesome love with people that matter to him and us(that means everyone on earth)that don't know him!... if you want to you can email me at delaneylaughery@gmail.com and tell me the amazing ways God is working in your life i would love to hear about it.

An Amazing weekend with my God!!!

2008-02-18T11:38:00.001-08:00

Here are some pictures of the weekend!

I got to go to Tenny this weekend for a BIG youth rally called winterfest! God did a lot of amazing things through this youth rally.We as a youth group had time to meet other people. I know that the guys in our youth group made sure that happen but meeting new girls as the girls in our youth group sat back and as like guys are stupid dont date you are to young!
I didnt meet a girl and her name was Ashley!We got to talking about she was telling me how she has been to Honduras before and that got us talking about how we both love it there. Then she started telling all the wonderful things God was going in her life.God is really using her family in life and i love that.
We also had the time to grow closer to God as a youth group and in our relationships just us and God.I got sit back and watch friends that people in the youth group brought with us i watched them grow and start to build a relationship with the same God that i have a relationship with which is AWSOME!!!
We got talk about the bible some of what we talked about was Being,Seeing,Sharing Jesus here are some of the verses

John 1:1 { In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.} i love this verse!
John 10:10 {The theif comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.} I love this verse because it is talking about what God wants to give us!
John 17:1-3 {After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father , the hour had come. Glorifty your Son, that your son may glorify you. 2For you granted him authorutiy over all those you have given him.3Now this is eternal life: that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.}

i got a lot out of the weekend a song that goes with what i want to say to you guys that this weekend made me thank of is "Here i am" by Shawn McDonald look it up at youtube.com and look at the skit they did when we were there look up lifehouse everything it is powerful.
