Multitude Monday-Appreciation

holy experience

Appreciate.
I am learning the meaning of that word.
See, Jason has been working a construction job for his Dad.
This is a good thing.
The sad part is it is four hours away.
Which means that I do not get to see him Mondays through Friday nights.
This past week was the second week he was gone.
Three weeks to go.
I miss him more than I ever thought possible.
But it has caused me to appreciate even more the time we do have together!
So this weeks Multitude Monday is going to be about my prince-

#31: His love for the Lord. He wants to live 
for Jesus no matter what. His faith amazes and challenges me! 
He does not just talk the talk 
he actually walks the walk.
#32: The fact he is the spiritual leader in our relationship.
I have realized that being the spiritual leader 
does not mean being perfect.
One of the things I respect most
about Jason is how he is not afraid to humble 
himself and ask forgiveness.
That is one of the best qualities I think someone can have.
Not being afraid to admit when they are wrong.
#33: The way he smiles at me.
It is a special smile.
Reserved only for me.
And when I look up to find him just smiling at me
I feel like the most treasured girl in the entire world.
#34: I love reading the Word together.
Just sitting there holding each others hands
and spending time with our Savior.
It is an amazingly beautiful thing.
#35: Our inside jokes
that no one else would necessarily get
but that we get a kick out of.
#36: Did you know it is possible to have ticklish hands?
Jason take the time to remind me how very ticklish I am very often
and you know what? 
I love it.
I love teasing each other.
I love how we can have so much fun together.
#37: His hugs.
#38: The way his eyes bulge when 
he is pretending to be shocked or mad at me. 
#39: The way he makes me absolutely melt.
#40: The fact that he knows me.
The real me.
And chooses to love me 
in spite of it all.
I miss him so much sometimes it hurts.
But the Lord has been working in amazing ways while he has been gone.
The Lord has been doing work on us both.
Together.
And seperately.
The lessons we are learning are sometimes painful
but oh so worth it.
Plus, Jason has had the awesome opportunity 
to really be able to share Jesus with his coworkers.
Please pray that the Lord will be glorified through him as he works.
I am praying that the entire crew will be saved! 
Our God is big!
We will see what He does!

So appreciation.
For him.
But also for those of you who have be to seperated for long periods of time
from the one you love.
I have a lot more respect for you since
getting just a taste of what many people have
to live with long term!
Appreciation.
My love, my gift from God, my hero and my prince.
I am so blessed!
What do you have to appreciate today?
Ps: I am amazed at the response I got for 
my previous post:
"Our Story-Part 1: How We Met".
I am insanely busy but I do promise to try to have 
Part two up AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Even though it is kinda fun to keep you all in suspense ;)
Blessings to you all!

So what is the American Gospel Tour? (And Multitude Monday)

So today is Multitude Monday.
 
holy experience
 
One of my things I am very thankful for is the American Gospel Tour.
 
 
And yes that is the answer to my last post ;)
So I am sure that many people have heard me speak of the American Gospel Tour 
(Click to view our website)
but if you are wondering what exactly we are I thought I would share our vision with you
and also ask you to pray for us as the Lord continues to open doors.

Mission:
Our mission is to travel across the United States stopping along the way,  whether it be at a park,  a gas station, or a street corner, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We also believe the Lord has called us to speak to our generation  about living a totally sold-out life for Jesus. Overall, this generation of Christian young people live lives of compromise.  We go to church on Sunday and Wednesday nights, then for the rest of the week we live no different then the world. If we are going to say that we are Jesus followers, then we need to prove it by living like Him. In 1 Corinthians 9:14 it says,  “ Even so has the Lord commanded that   they which preach the gospel should live the gospel.”   God didn't suggest that we live the gospel, He commanded it.  Why aren't we obeying that command? We need to be living the gospel 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  When you commit your life to Jesus, you can't just commit for Sundays and Wednesdays, it has to be your whole life. This is the message we want to take to the Christian teens of America. Matthew 28:18-20 says, Go therefore, and teach all nations,  baptizing them in the name of the Father,  and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:  teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and lo I am with you always even to the end of the world.  Amen.”  This is the Great Commission.  It says to  go and teach  (or preach)  to all the nations,  (sharing the gospel) teaching them to observe everything that I (Jesus) have commanded you (teaching and speaking in churches).  Our desire for this trip is to both:  share the gospel on the road  and teach in churches.  My sister Jen wrote that mission statement almost two and a half years ago. God has been so gracious in opening doors since. We have grown a lot since the Lord gave Jen the vision for the American Gospel tour. One thing that we have realized is that a life lived from Christ starts here. It starts now. Being in ministry does not just been traveling across America in an RV. It means going and evangelizing at parks. It means handing a lady in walmart a tract. It means going and sharing Jesus with your neighbors. It means serving others. It starts here. It starts now. God has opened many doors since we started obeying Him in the small things. Our dream to travel across America has started right were we are at! We have been able to go to various churches in our area and share with so many people. We also are going to be traveling to Key West, FL this January and receive training as well as open  air evangelizing at Mallory square! God is so amazing!  The things He is doing are amazing! So if you want to please pray for us we would really appreciate it! Do you have a facebook?  You can like our page and get regular updates (You can follow my link on the sidebar). We also have started a team blog and you can go visit that (and follow it): The American Gospel Tour Blog.   So here are the faces of our team:
L-R: Yours truly, Jason, Nicole, and Jen
So that is the #11 thing I am thankful for this week! :) #12 A God Who remains constant even when so many other things in my life are not.  I have been  going through alot of changes these past few  weeks and have had to make a lot of   hard, humbling decisions   but the Lord was right there  with me the entire way!    And what a comfort to know that  He will continue to be! :) #13: As I was cramming for a test  I mean studying for  a test today  I got to go outside and walk. It was sunshine and blue skies!    That just lifted my spirits   (and I got some exercise which always helps lol).    #14: Gum. Yes I am addicted love it.   My jaw hurts sometimes. But it is a great stress reliever!   #15: Tortilla chips   (Ok, so a little bit stressed this week apparently lol). #16: Prayer Journals.   #17: Memories.   #18: Applebees after 9pm half off appetizers We went with a group last night and had so much fun! :) Our waitress loved us ;) #19: Hope for a future   that can only be found in Jesus Christ. #20 : Early Christmas Presents  from an amazing boyfriend  which I am sure I will tell you about in the nearish future ;)   God is so good!   What do you have to be thankful for today?
