3eleven Sunday Night Worship 12.06.09

December 6, 2009

3eleven did worship for sunday night service.

The moniters went out on us so on stage we could not hear anything. We did the best we could.

Family Groups 9.14.09

STL 9.9.09

            My day has been a really good day. I started out by going to the staff meeting at 9 this morning. Pastor McNabb was not was not there so the meeting went by really quick and easy. It was really interesting to be in a staff church meeting. After the meeting we went to our room to work on our college stuff. We did not get much done. Hopefully all of our SAGU classes start working.

Katie, Evan, and me went to Mustang High School with Josh and Doug so we could go to the student’s lunch. When we got to the high school I notice how big it was and it made me think how I am really glad I did not go to a big school. I noticed all the cliques they had. At Jones, we had our group of friends but everyone really got along with everyone. I asked myself if I would have been a different person is I would have gone to a big school or what clique I would have fitted in with?

             Everyone at the school that I met was really cool. I figured out that the Christian table caused the most problems at lunch. They would all lay their heads on the table and then one person when make a really loud annoying sound. Then a girl I didn’t even know came up and hugged me. I was kind of creeped out. After visiting the high school, we went to Arby’s and ate lunch. I was a fatty and got the 5 for $5.95 but I did not eat it all.

            We went back to the church and worked on paint our cardboard house. It was really hard to paint a house with spray paint. We probably got high of all the fumes that were in the room when we got done. Steffi came in after we finished it and ruined our pretty house by making a cat/dog type animal thing on it and a lady that had a red bow in her hair, which really made it look like she was bleeding from the house.         

            I help set up for service and went to pre-service prayer. Pre-service prayer is so amazing. After prayer, I went and talked to some people. Service started and we started by egging a house. The house we made, we let kids egg it and the lady was -5 points. The door, windows, and roof was 1. The fence was 2 and Doug’s picture of his face was five. Some guys knelled the house with eggs and the two girls some how throw to high and hit the ceiling with their eggs. It was a mess to clean up but it was very fun. We showed a video for STL 9.9.09 and after the video I got up and talked about 9.9.09 for a min and lead the students into worship and prayed. Doug got up after worship and took the STL offering for 9.9.09 and the sr. high gave almost 3,300 but the jr. beat us with 3,500. The service went really well. They showed a really moving clip at the end and it was amazing. I can’t wait til next week for “One Night” with Michael Jr.

            After service I actually talked to people. Much better then I did last week. We helped clean up the rest of the room. I left after that and went home to sit in my bed and that is where I am now. I need to go to sleep but first I have to study for my test tomorrow.

Night to the Amazing people and the Losers, like Lacy.

STL Golf Tournament 9.08.09

              Today was such an amazing day. It all began getting up kind of late this morning but it was ok. I still had time to take a shower! I hurried and got ready so I could be at the church by 9. When I got to the church, I figured out that I was the only that could log into their SAGU class.  I know you are thinking: Wow! Julia actually was on top of things for the first time. Anyways, I worked on my scripture journal til 11:30. That is when we had to leave to go to the Speed The Light Gold Tournament. When we arrived, we were offer a box lunch which was a sandwich, Yum my favorite. After eating Carlin, Katie, Me got to ride on a golf cart to see if anyone needed drinks. When we got to the first group, it was Doug and Ryan (youth pastors at The Bridge). When we got to them, their cart broke down so we went to get them a new one. Instead of getting one, Carlin got two new carts. So Carlin, Katy, and me got our own carts and were catties for Doug and Ryan. I was taking pictures of the golfers the whole day so I soon left that group by myself and found the other three groups so I could get wonderful pictures of them too. I had a blast out there meeting all the other pastors and youth pastors.

            Around 4, I had to go get Rachel and Kade from the country club and take them to Travis. I got to drive Rachel around the golf course but I don’t think she liked my driving. She told me something disturbing! Other then that Rachel and I “bonded.” I did have lots of fun with her. After everyone was done with the 36 wholes, we all met back at the country club so they could give out some really nice prizes. I got a free STL shirt for helping, Thank you DYDoug for the shirt.

            After golfing all day, I took Whit and Niccole back to the house. Niccole and I set down and had dinner. We made ourselves Cheesy rice with hotdogs. I know it sound kind of gross but it was really good. Niccole and I got into a really good talk after that. It was so awesome to see God working through us just sitting there talking to each other. I really hope I grow close to these girls. I can already see us helping each other out and we have not even been here for two weeks. God is such an AWESOME God!

            After that, I went to my room to work on the pictures from today and then I started to type my blog. Right now I can hear Niccole singing in her room. She has a good voice. Keep singing and praising Jesus girl! Anyway, It is time for my to hit my twin size bed and close my eyes and dream of wonderful things.

Sleep Tight. And stay tight with Jesus!

Don't forget to give $100 to Speed The Light tomorrow. 9.9.09

Swimming on Labor Day 9.07.09

                 So last night I did not set my alarm because I had nothing to do today and I did not get up til 1 pm. I am such a lazy bum. After I got up I ate and cleaned my room. I then went with Travis, Rachel, and Kade to go swimming at one of the couples from the church. Swimming was lots of fun even though I did a back buster once. They had a basketball goal next to their pool which made it lots of fun. When I got out of the pool, I looked like a prune. My hands looked gross and all old.

               After swimming, Whit and I went home and cooked us an awesome meal. We had salmon and rice. It was so good. After eating we cleaned up our mess and played a game of Parcheesi. That game was very interesting! Of course I won. After the game we decided it was time to go to bed. My day was not that long to day. Tomorrow I have a busy day at the Golf Course. Hope tomorrow is awesome!

Night to all.

 God is amazing. I prayed to God that he would fix my Zune that broke on me yesterday because all we can listen to is Praise and Worship music and my zune was the only way I was listening to music and tonight God fixed it and it started working!

Sunday at The Bridge 9.06.09

Today was church day. I work up kind of late so I had to rush and get ready. I had to be at the church by 7:45 am. When we all got there, we met some people and set in the balcony for the 1^st service. For 2^nd service we set down where all the teenagers sit. 2^nd service is more like youth worship. It was amazing even though I heard the same sermon two times in a row. For the 3^rd service, some of us taught a Sunday school class. The kids got to know us better and Carlin had to tell everyone that I don’t like hugs so all day people where trying to hug me.

            After service I went home and took a 4 hour nap. I had to get up at some point for pre-service prayer at 5:45. Evening service starts at 6:30. Robby McClure spoke this evening and it was a great sermon. He spoke to us on “What to Wear.” New Man, Love and Humility were his three points.

            I did not hang out long after service. I just went home. I like being home. I have tomorrow off, and I don’t know what to do. Anyone have any ideas?

Good Night!

Football Party 9.05.09

Today I did not do much. I didn’t even get up til 1 pm. When I got up I cooked me some mac and cheese. I am a good cook! After I ate I cleaned the kitchen a little and started some laundry. Today was a cleaning day. I had to unload my car with stuff from my mom’s house. So I cleaned my room more and cleaned my bathroom. I love the smell of clean stuff.

            While cleaning I got a phone call from I number I did not have in my phone so I answered it. It was Rachel Jenkins. She told me that I had to go to the football party they were having at there house tonight. I really did not want to go so I tired to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t have to go. No, that did not happen. She came down to the house and got me. The party was ok. I felt really out of place. I just was not Julia. I don’t know if I will be the person I was at JAG here.

            I walked home and now I think it is time for bed. I am sorry I did not have that exciting of a day.

Have amazing dreams tonight

I had the day off! 9.04.09

Today I was off for 3ELEVEN. So I went back to Jones and Choctaw. I first picked up Lacy from EOC Tech. I got to see new digital media room and talk to my old teachers. After we left, we went to LaDonna Eastep and the Anderson’s house to drop off t-shirts. I had to hurry back to Jones to get Lacy on time for band practice at the church. At practice I got to see everyone (or at least the people I missed). I was really happy to see them. The also let me help them out on a song and that really made my day.

            After practice I stopped by the Abbott’s house to ask Ladonna something and then headed to my mom’s house with Lacy because my mom is moving and I had to go make sure I had all my things out of her house. We met up with my mom after that and went to go eat. My mom ordered 3 appetizers and 4 entrees for 3 people. We had so much Chinese food. But it was really good.

            Lacy and I went to go get my dad’s truck so I could move all my furniture to his house so I could store it there. That was about all I did.

Hearing Herbert Cooper speak for the first time. 9.03.09

Today it was so hard to wake up. I did not get that many hours of sleep because I was up late studding for the scripture test that we had this morning. I think I did pretty well on my scripture test. After the test Pastor McNabb came in and talked to us for about thirty minutes. I really enjoyed listening to him speak to us. After Pastor spoke, Robby McClure came in and spoke to us for about and hour on ministry. I loved how Robby had a print out of his notes for us.

            For lunch we all went to Mazio’s for Timothy’s Birthday. He turned 19 today. Happy Birthday Timothy!! Eating with all the people was a lot of fun. Carlin ate almost the whole buffet. Josh picked on me during lunch. These people here are really learning how to pick on me. I think people from JAG might have told them to.

            After lunch we worked on trying to get our SAGU classes working. It was so confusing at first. I figured out today that I received Pell Grant that will cover they cost of my SAGU part. I was so happy. God is so good. Then I went into my internship time with Doug and we talked about the positive and negative things that happen in last nights service. That did not take long to talk about. Then we went to the jr. high building to help set up for tonight. When we were getting all the tables out of the shed, there was like a hundred spiders in there and they were all over the place. We finally got everything set up and ready. We then went into a room and planned out “One Night.” I think One Night is going to be amazing. I can’t wait for 09.16.09 It going to be off the hook.

            I finally got to go home around 4:30. I was happy to be home so I could eat some spaghetti-o’s. Yum Yum. I tried to work on some things after that but I did not have much time. I left the house at 5:20 the go to Wal-Mart and get a birthday card for Tim. On the way I talked to “That’s My Lacy.” When I got there, It was really hard to find the right card. I have to find the perfect card. I had to be at the church at 6 for the Leadership Conference called Amplify. Our job there was to be the door greeters. I had lots of fun doing that. Herbert Cooper spoke at our session. It was so awesome. After he did is speaking for every one, they broke it down to where you had two classes to choose. The first class I went to was just for the 3ELEVEN students and Herbert Cooper. It was a Q&A session where us students could ask Herbert Cooper whatever we wanted. I really enjoyed listening to all the things he had to tell us. The next session I did was with Robby McClure.

            When the conference was over, everyone went to Arby’s but I just went home. I just was not feeling like I did not fit in so I didn’t want to go. When Niccole and Whitney got home, they came straight into my room and started talking to me. Katie came home shortly after that and we all talked in my room. By the end of the night, we were laugh so hard about Whitney’s weird high fiving and her pounding it thing with Niccole. The night turned out really awesome and we girls are bonding so well. I can see us growing very close to each other in the ten months.

            The girls kept me up so late but I am glad they did because they made me feel better because I was really down on myself before they got home. I love Jesus!

            Night to Everyone

Crossfire Service 9.02.09

    I slept so good last night! This morning I was so well rested. Right when I got up I took my daily shower and had devotion time, just me and God time. Amazing. I love learning God’s word.                   

            Today for class we did all four of our scripture journal entries. They were kind of difficult. Doing something for the first time is always difficult for me (no one make fun of me). While doing our journals, there were only four of us and we talked a lot and Evan claimed to be the Ring Leader of us. We did not listen to him. We all worked together and helped each other out. I am loving 3ELEVEN so much. The people are so awesome. Us students get one on one time, you would never get that at a bible college. The staff here at The Bridge works so well with us. They have brought us in just like there family. This big of a church is all new to me but it has been so amazing how they have worked with us and it makes my fill like I have something to offer here.            

            After jamming on my keyboard for a little bit and eating a wonderful sandwich for lunch, I headed back up to the church for my internship time. When we were in Doug’s office we talked about what we were going to do for service tonight and told us that he wants to know what we honestly think about it. After talking about the service, it made me really excited to attend a crossfire service. Can’t wait. Talking about the service made us interns want to make a video for the game tonight. For all the games in September, we are making a tribute to eggs. So our video was about us smashing eggs. What we did was Katie, Evan, and I went to the guy’s house and recorded our egg video on the mantle above the fire place, but then we started to think start and smashing an egg up there would make a mess. Evan had the bright idea(L) to poke a whole in the bottom of the egg and drain it. No Mess Now. We are smart. After recording in the house we went out side and smashed eggs on the concrete but we were smart again and watched off the sidewalk after we were done.

            We got back to the offices and started to edit the simple video, so we thought. The video was giving us trouble and took about an hour to edit when we thought it would only take tens max. Something always has to go wrong before service.

            SIDENOTE: Any one who is a senior and does not really know what they are doing next year (maybe you’re asking yourself Do I want to go to college?)And wants to work in ministry, I would highly recommend looking into this school of ministry.

            Service was so amazing! I love the atmosphere at Crossfire. The worship was so ridiculous, I loved it. God was really moving through that place and students were seeking after him. Tonight Doug spoke on being an d influence and how we can be a good or bad influence on peoples lives. You never know who is watching you. He also talked about “One Night” that is coming up on the 16^th of this month. One Night is where we are pushing for 1,000 students. They are giving away so much free stuff and Michael Jr. is coming out. If you don’t know who he is you should youtube him. So 9^th-12^th grade that wants to come out that night should.

            After church I had to help clean up the eggs from the game earlier. We had four people see who could smash the most eggs with their head in one move. It was funny to watch. After that we were aloud to go home and that is where I am now. I need to get off because I have my scripture test tomorrow and I need to study. So I hope all of you have good dreams and sleep well.

            Night Night.

First day of Internship 9.01.09

My day started out great. I woke up around 7a.m. and took a really wonderful hot shower. Then I ate a frozen fruit thing for breakfast. It was very yummy. After eating I was not ready to do my hair yet so I laid back down for a wonderful ten minute nap.          

            When we arrived at the church, we all met in our academic room and went over all the guide lines in our book. It was kind of boring having to sit there and just read over it but at the some time it was very interesting to read what is going to take place at 3ELEVEN. Around 11:40 am we broke for lunch and all of us girls came home to eat. I had my left over Johnny Corrine’s Bowtie Festival. So very yummy. When we went back to the church at 1 pm, we got to meet with the people we are doing our internship with for the first semester. Evan, Katie, and I internship is with Doug Wyatt. He is 9^th- 12^th grade youth pastor. We were able to talk to him and he told us a little about his vision for his youth and we were able toured the sr. high building. I am so excited about being apart of the youth and helping out with it. For the month of September, we are playing games with eggs on Wednesdays.

            After a day at The Bridge, I finally got home around 4:30 pm. When I got there I did my Scripture Study Journal. What that is, is were we pick a topic that week over something in our life and Monday through Thursday, everyday, we have to find a verse over our topic and study the verse. On Thursdays we have a test over the four verses. We have to know them word for word and also write an essay over our topic. This well be a challenge for me but will make me a better person in the long run. My topic this week is Worry. I finished my journal for today and then Whitney, Niccole, and I went running.

I ran a mile and it felt great.  

            It then came time for dinner. So I made Chicken Fettuccine. It was delicious! I ate way too much of it though so I decided it was time to lie down and get ready for bed. It is only 9 pm but I am so tired and I am ready for tomorrow to come so I can see how a youth service at Crossfire ran. So good night to all and all a good night.

Hope you have a great night!

What a great day to start out 3ELEVEN 8.31.09

My day started at 5:30 a.m. today. I got up and ate some Kellogg’s cereal. It was still dark outside and I was the only one up. Kind of scary. Then I dressed myself for the day and met at the church at 6:50. Some staff from the church and the 3ELEVEN group went to a leadership and preaching lab in broken arrow. On the way it was lots of fun. I got to talk to everyone and get to know the children’s pastor at The Bridge better. We had got to the church in Broken Arrow late. We walked in when the first session was getting over. We had three sessions about leadership before lunch, a class we got to choose during lunch, and three sessions about preaching after lunch. In the second session about leadership, my eyes became really heavy and I felt so tired, but the tired session Bryan Jarrett spoke and it was amazing! When we broke for lunch, Timothy and I went to the children’s ministry class. Their children’s pastor is phenomenal and the Kid area was so cool. They had huge retro toys displayed, such as an etch-a-sketch, a top, legos, and more. I learned a lot form that class and I am looking forward to working with the kids at The Bridge now. The sessions over preaching were very interesting. All three speakers did an amazing job; Ron Woods (Pastor at The Assembly in Broken Arrow), Dr. Mark Rutland (President of Oral Roberts University), and Bryan Jarrett (Pastor at North Place Church in Sachse, TX). On the way back to Mustang I took a nap but I woke up when we were in OKC. When I woke up, the Jr. High Pastor started giving me a hard time about being from Jones and was making fun of me a lot. But it was all cool and I enjoyed in.

When us girls got back to the house around 5:30 p.m. we all ate dinner and took a little nap because we were so tired.

At 7:30 we had to be at Travis and Rachel’s house for a college age cell group type thing. They only live 3 blocks from us so we all walked there. Travis spoke about Dangerous Prayers; God, Use Me; God, Break Me; God, Disturb Me. It was cool to hang out with everyone but after that we were tired so we headed back to the house.

Today has been a really amazing day. Can’t wait to see what the next 10 months will be like. We have orientation at 9 a.m. tomorrow so I should probably go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be another long and wonderful day!

Lots of love from Juju!

  Night to all.

My First Sunday @ The Bridge. 8.30.09

So today was my first service at The Bridge. The Service was amazing. The main thing that caught my eye was the worship. They had so many instrument and they all sounded so beautiful together. I was just in awe today at service. I really liked Jim McNabb’s speaking. He spoke about compassion and how we need to look at things through the eyes of Jesus instead of looking at things at people with eyes of the world.
After service I felt a little weird being there because I didn’t know anyone and I could not go around and talk to everyone like I did at JAG (My JAG family, I really missed you guys this morning). Hopefully I will start coming around and talking to people and being the Julia that I was at JAG.
I ate lunch with my mom today and it was good. After lunch I just set in my new bedroom just praising God for the wonderful things to come. I got ready for evening service and right before I walked out to leave I got a drink of tea and spelt it down my shirt so I had to go change fast.
When I got to the church I got so scared. I did not know where to go, where to sit, and I could not find anyone that I kind of knew. Finely I found Rachel and she let me sit by her. I was so amazed at the worship. Pastor McNabb spoke on Generational Curses tonight.
After service I felt very sad. I started to miss JAG a lot. They invited me to Chili’s and I really didn’t want to go cause I really don’t know anyone but then all the 3ELEVEN students were going so it seemed like I had too. I went and some of my JAG friends started text me and really touching my heart and I wanted to cry in Chili’s but what they said also made me feel better. I went to Wal-Mart afterwards to get me some food for the house and I just walked around Wal-Mart thinking about how I have not been myself in the last two days and that I really need to start talking to people. On my way home I called my best friend and I started to cry to her and tell her how everything is so different and how I miss being at JAG so much. When I got back to the house I started to talk to Niccole and Whitney and they made me feel better about being here.
Tomorrow we are meting at the church at 6:50 am and go to Broken Arrow. Hopefully I get to really meet everyone and have a fun time. 12:02 am… time to go to bed. Night!

Here are some notes form tonight:

What is a Curses?
the expression of a wish that misfortune, evil, doom, etc., befall a person, group, etc.

Galatians 3:13-14
13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised[b] Holy Spirit through faith.v

Matthew 18:21-35
21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone[a] who sins against me? Seven times?” 22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven! 23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. 24 In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars.[c] 25 He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt. 26 “But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’ 27 Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt. 28 “But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment. 29 “His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded. 30 But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full. 31 “When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened. 32 Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. 33 Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ 34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt. 35 “That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”


These are access ways the devil/evil can get a foothold on us.

Romans 6:16 (SIN)
16 Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.

Psalms 23:4 (FEAR)
4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Psalms 109:20-22 (HURT & TRAUMA)
20 May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me. 21 But deal well with me, O Sovereign Lord, for the sake of your own reputation! Rescue me because you are so faithful and good. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is full of pain.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (CULTS)
10 For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, 11 or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord your God will drive them out ahead of you.

2 Chronicles 33:6 (WHITCHCAFT)
6 Manasseh also sacrificed his own sons in the fire[a] in the valley of Ben-Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in the Lord’s sight, arousing his anger.

Matthew 5:33-37 (VOWS & SWEARING)
33 “You have also heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the Lord.’[a] 34 But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. 35 And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Do not even say, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
