You'd think i would have stopped posting on here since no one reads it, but i enjoy it every so often. Especially when i'm overwhelmed with our Savior and want to get it out...

i was talking to a friend yesterday... it has been hard for me to see God in my life lately. Not only have i not looked like Him, but i decided that it would be cool to try to figure things out myself. That obviously did not work. Funny how after following Christ for a while i still make mistakes and choose not to trust Christ. i thank Him for His patience with me... and His grace. Where would i be without it?

I was just now reading in John 15...
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. vs.4

i am nothing without my sweet Savior... and i love that!

trust: 1 a: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something b: one in which confidence is placed

This is what God has been working on in the life of Meghan Poore. Trusting that He'll bring a job my way, and it'll be just for me. Trusting that He'll bring encouraging friends into my life that are true.

i prayed and have been praying that God would test my faith... scary. But, i want my faith to continue growing. He is so good to me!

Classes are SO hard! i used to love school, now all i can think of is traveling, speaking spanish, and the summer :) i am praying though, daily... that i will not become complacent. i am in Manhattan for a reason!

He is faithful.
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
Psalms 16:2

FAITHFUL HE IS

I love being reminded of God's love over and over.

This weekend was SO good. i was able to go hiking in the beautiful Manhattan hills and go 4-wheeling and hang out with a good friend. i just love it when i see things like nature and relationships and i'm reminded how everything is praising God. It's a neat thing. He is so faithful... even when my car won't start and life seems too much, He is still my stronghold.

From His people who can praise Him... to the mountains that could shout out His name, this remains:
The Lord is so good.
i have a hard time saying more than that, yet i know i could go on for paragraphs and hours.
He places passions and desires in my life. i know they come from Him. He takes people in and out. He allows me to learn through hardships and trials while all the whole promising to never give me more than i can handle.
He calls for my heart... for my life. Sometimes quietly... still. A tiny prodding of my heart. But sometimes it's more bold and strong that anything i've ever experienced. God has been so present in my life this past week. It's like my senses have been made aware. It's amazing.

So i'm pretty sure no one EVER reads this, but i still love on here. . . i had such an amazing day yesterday. i just got to spend a lot of time with more students getting to know them. i love it. i love this summer so much!

There are so many things God has been teaching me, so much more than i want to learn, and a difference i want to make so badly. i have been challenged with so much-even little things have taught me so much. My patience has been tested more than i ever thought it would be. It's so hard to spend time with the same people 24/7 but it's the most amazing experience ever! Well-someone from the church is bringing us lunch in like 10 minutes, better go!

Last night we challenged our students a little and tried to let them experience a little bit of what it would be like to be a Christian in the underground church. i was a persecuter and had to "persecute" jr and sr high students on their way to find the church. . . it was a challenge, but so eye opening i think.

It is still so great to be a part of this family and it has been wonderful to get to know these people better, especially the high school girls, they are all so much fun to be around!!!

i get to go home Monday for the first time all summer and get to see my sister that i haven't seen for about 6 months :( So i am so excited about that!!!

i've been tested and tried more than i thought possible this week. . . i think i'm failing, haha.

i'm kind of joking. . . but it has been crazy. We've been going non-stop for over two weeks. With a trip to Atlanta, which was followed quickly by VBS. It has been such an amazing learning experience to see how i really work under pressure and under such amazing leadership.

Everyone here is awesome, it'll be SO hard to leave in a month and a half. But i am SO greatful for these amazing friendships that i've already been able to make.

Oh one last thing, Emily- i miss you a lot!!!
