  • I NEED YOUR HELP PEOPLE!!!!

    Dear Friends,
       My name is Sarah Denise, I am an eighteen year old missionary and have lived in the Louisville area for five years. I am home schooled, the oldest of six children, and a devoted Christian. I have grown up in a Christian family, so God has always been a big part of my life and I feel God has called me to be a missionary and a ministry leader. I have always loved helping people and seeing their lives transformed in the process.
       My pastor, Steve Turpin, of Trinity World Outreach Center, is always talking about reaching the people of the world, and it is because of those reasons I have become a part of the mission field. In preparation, I have already been on three mission trips beginning at the age of fourteen.
       I signed up on my first mission trip, to Australia/New Zealand, due to circumstances that God orchestrated; this brought Teen Mania into my life (Wrong bus, right place, right time). I became more excited about the opportunity to share the story of my life with someone who may have never heard about what God can do. We worked with Hillsong United; we help the elderly clean up their homes, following this we went through the city doing community clean up work showing Jesus to the city through our actions and we completed our mission work by ministering to the teenagers through personal evangelism and drama. Through our efforts we saw over three thousands people brought to Christ. And when I came back from my month long ministry trip I knew it was my calling to become a missionary.
       The next year (2005) I went to Peru; where I spent a month in the cities of Lima and Tarma. God used me there in so many ways; most of the time when I think back it seems unreal that God would have used me for such big tasks. For example, how God used me and my team to pray for a twelve year old girl who was immediately healed from deaf/muteness due to a fall from a second story window.
       On my third mission trip I went to Tijuana, Mexico. My entire team consisted of eight hundred teenagers and young adults who gave up their summer to live in the desert and build houses for those who did not have one. With so many willing servants of God we were able to build twenty-two houses, and lead over one thousand people to the love of Christ.
       I am now planning my internship to the Honor Academy for August of this year. The Honor Academy is a one year discipleship program dedicated to forging leaders of the New Millennium. I will be streched Physically, Spiritually, and Emotionally! I will have to learn how to rely on God for all my needs as it in an intense year of learning how to be the leader God has called me to be.
    What has He called me to be, you ask? He has put the desire in my heart to reach the world through Dance/Drama, and to be a leader for people to look to for encouragement and restoration of Joy and Peace in their lives. It will be a training ground for what I feel led to become. and it has been prophecied over me by many people who have seen it.
       I know what I am asking may be alot, but your prayer is what I need most of all. I need to be ready for this, as well as my "Core" needs to be ready for this training. A Core is a group of twenty or so people who must work together to get all they can out of the year we are given. Men and women alike will form bonds that will not be found anywhere else, as we seek God's will for our lives with a passion like never seen before in our lives. We will need to have an open mind to what our calling is to be. We will be trained through classes, hands on experience, as well as regular Life Transforming Events (LTE's). We will litterally be the Clay, that the Potter will mold into all that it can become.
       The second thing I need is financial support. The tottal is $ 8,000, but I already have $2,000. I am a quater of the way there. Really all I need is 150 people to donate $40 towards my account and I will be set. I leave August 15 so you can see that there is little time, please prayerfully consider your role in this.

                     There are several ways of making a donation towards this ministry expedition.
                                            Note that all donations are tax-deductible:
       You may donate on line at www.HonorAcademy.com. Find the 'Donate' button in the right toolbar of the page. There you can either search by my name (Sarah Holly) & phone number (502-231-4132), or by my account ID# 2275934.
       You may send a check directly to me, and I will forward it along to The Honor Academy myself (Unless you request I use it for personaly items needed). Remember to not make the check out to me, but to Teen Mania Ministries or The Honor Academy. Just message me if this is what you wish to do. 
       I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could give. And I would be happy to talk with you to answer any questions you may have or to elaborate further. But as I have said time is running short and I need your help to raise this money. Please pray about your decision and do what you feel God wants you to do.
       To contact me with any questions or even just to wish me 'God' Luck email me or call me at:
                               My Personal Email- Kenieke@bellsouth.net
                                  My home Phone Number- 502-231-4132
    I want to thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I can not wait to get back to the mission field, and it would be an honor to say that you helped me get there. God Bless You!

    The Lord's Faithful Servant,
                                   Sarah Holly

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE BREAK THE SILENCE?!?!

       I am gonna go crazy soon with all this quiet in the house.  See! It is already happening. I am so used to having noise and something to do in the house, that when both just drop like *snaps fingers* that, it gets really wierd. And the worst part is that you have all this time to think, now my thoughts get a little crazy sometimes. I mean, I jump from one thought to another like a cat on a hot tin roof! To tell you the truth a lot was day-dreaming, wich is not so good for my overactive imagination/natural train of thought.

       I wish I knew what to do with myself...first off I just spent $$ on a gorgous dress, and now I have no place to wear it to. *Hits self upside the head* Why, ohh why, am I so crazy?  Well maybe one of my friends have a fancy place to go to where I can wear it. I mean come on...it is a Formal Gown for Pete's sake!!!!  

       I hope Erin calls soon so that way we can go hang out untill I go to work at five, I called in sick this morning because I have a sinus headache again. Now if you can answer why I have all these headaches, you are smarter than me! I do breathing treatments, I take meds (sometimes), and I do the whole eat healthy (most of the time) thing. Maybe it is just this Kentucky air.

       *Takes deep breath* Thanks for letting me vent on you like that, I just had to get it out of my system. Now I am going to go get ready for a girl's day out!

       Bye- All!

    Another Day

    I know it has been a while since some of you have heard from me, but if you read the two most recent posts you will understand! So here goes for this post!

    Well that about wraps up today. I just tucked my baby brother in bed, the poor kid was so tired he fell asleep watching his favorite movie. He is so cute, I still have a hard time believing he will be 4 in a couple of weeks...why do they keep growing? befor eyou know it he will no long be a ’child’ he will be a ’kid’...atleast that is what he says.

    And I was fixing up my page today, why does it have to be so dag on hard to find the perfect one. I tried to make my own with the two I like best, I think it turned out okay...do you?

    I have so many thoughts running in my head all at once, like Rachel. I do not know why but I can not stop thinking about her...especialy after what I found out yesterday. After she was shot she was rushed to the hostpital, she had to suffer first...why oh why did she have to suffer. Why could she not have been like Stephanie who died instantly, I guess because life just isn’t fair! But I atleast know where she is...she is waiting for me to join her so she can show me her favorite spot to just sit back and relax. She is up there right now dancing a grand river with Gabbie, my sister. Who has her curls all grown back out past her shoudlers. Her light brown hair glimmering in the Light, laughing at all the fun she is having. I know she misses us, but sh ealso knows that it will not be long befoer everyone joins her. She will be up there waiting in a beautiful pink dress eating angel cake and strawberries!!! Rachel on the other hand will have a blast finding out what Jael actually thought about sticking the tent peg in the guys head,and asking Ruth to tell her story first hand without the thoudsands of translations. One day I will do the same things and more, but for now I will just remeber how each and every one of those girls where a BIG part of my life an dhepling me grow and become who I am today.

    Jessica on the other hand is still here, and boy am I glad for that.Her and me should be twin sisters. We have so much in common, even our flaws have things in common, it is just crazy! Like she has a hard time staying organized...well if you think that sounds bad take a look at my room! And then she has never heard of Britt Nicole, and loan her my CD and now one of her top songs .. (Track 5), we are both loud and like to be crazy/wierd, and we have said s many things word for word at the same time (we can almost time it). The list just goes on and on .

    Okay I think I am done with all the letting out of the day, but just know I will be back.
           Laterz!!

  • What are some things about your city you wish you can change?

    The poor people who live in the streets. I want to be able to build a huge house where I can have thousands of those people come in a stay until they find their footing back in life. I want to bring them hope in their future. I want comfort the little ones, and tell the young/teen women, who are single and have three kids, that some one does care enough to help them. That even though they have messed up in their lives all hope is not lost, and Someone does love them. Even if they believe no one ever could! That would be what I would change in my city, because if you think about it, the more you reach out, the more that changes. One act of kindness can change a life, who changes another life...and if it keeps on going, you will finally reach the whole city, no matter how big or how small.

    What do you think the ugliest popular fashion in your lifetime was/is?

    Well I can not stand it when guys where their pants down at the knees!!! Al I can ever think when I see it is..."Did his belt buckle break." Then I continue on my day with a shiver. I had this really bad experience once with this over wieght guy, he was wearing his pants like that and dropped his keys, the next thing I know is seeing his nicely printed briefs with hearts all over them!

    And the girls' tube tops, I am always afraid those things are going to fall off in the wrong direction. And personally I would not like to wear anything like that. The Bible says do not tempt, and to wear something provocative is against what I believe.

    But I will not impose my opinion on someone else, unless they ask me to do so. That is not showing God's love for His children! And so I love everyone with the love of Christ. And do not judge them, but I do try to befriend them!

  • I have a Job now!! I am happy.

    I applied at McAlister's Deli last week after being talked into it by Jessica. Well I called them yesterday and talked to the manager, he wanted an interview with me today at 2:30. I got ready and went in, and after doing the formalities he told I was hired. He said he only hires people if they have two specific qualities, they make eye contact/ smile and if they enjoy what their doing. I always make eye contact and smile, right now I would enjoy just about anything to earn some money. SO he said I do orientation on Monday, and he said welcome aboard twice! I could tell he liked me from the start, the girl that came in next he was not so pleased with. I could tell by the way he said he would let her know though a phone call. I wish I could help her out, I know what it is like trying to find a good job.

    I am so happy right now,I just thought I should tell my friends what is going on. And Jessica Newton better be prepared on Sunday, because she is going to get one heck of a hug from me!

    The haze of a ghost town........

    DSCF1677  "The Ghost Town"

    Well I am still being effected by the news. Yesterday was just a big blur to me, I had no emotions to express, I hardly said anything, my sibs said I was being rude, but that is just because they don't understand. Today I am doing better, I actually got up  the courage to read some of my book I am readng, it was at a really funny part the other day and I just didn't feel like laughing. I talked to Laurie last night, but I didn't get to ask much. I was too busy talking and sasking Laurie what I need to do with Rasberries the bunny Rachel gave me but wanted back. I am going to send it to her with some of my pictures I have...I am wanted to put a scrapbook of it all together. I will let you know how  it turns out. I have choir tonight, I can not wait yo see Val and Jessica. I really need then right now, just like I needed Laurie last night! I told her that Monday night before I went to bed that I saw something in the doorway of the living room. And I am not kidddin when I tell you it looked like Rachel dressed in white. I had always thought she would look beautiful in a white flowing and frilly dress with her straight hair flowing behind her. Well what I saw was just that. Laurie says it was Rachel telling me goodbye and I love you. So anyways I better go now, I just wanted to give you an update on me. I am doing fine, I figure this Ghost Town bit will only last about another week at most, I am too cheerful most of the time to be down for long. Just keep me in your prayers and I will keep you updated on how I am  doing and if I hear any new about the Works. Love you all,

    You know that Colorado Shooting.....

      Well that was my best friend of FOUR YEARS!!! I know I live all the way in Kentucky...but Rachel Works was my best friend, I was even good friends with her sister Stephanie. They left behind a Father who is injured and not doing so well (David), a Mother (Marie), and two sisters (Laurie, Stephanie's twin-18) and Grace (age 11 or 12). So I was just wanting to let all my online friends know that I will need you to keep me in your prayers. I heard about it on Sunday but I just found out which church and who it was about half an hour ago. I am not sure how well I am doing, I am in that numb/denial stage and I think it is going to be here a while. My family did not know her too well but they know me so if I am disturbed so are they...so just pray. I had even gone to see them January of this year for Rachel's sweet sixteen. But if you hve not heard about it, or you want to see pics of the family here is the link!

    Cutie Rae    

     

    This is how I will always remember her...as my best friend!!

    stephaniegirl

    And this is how I will always remember Stephanie....she was a heart as sweet as candy!

     Steph had the BEST curls in her hair when she didn't brush them out. She had been working with some shampoo and conditioner expeiriments to see what would do the best with her hair. Rachel was one of those people who never said much, but always got you to say everything on your mind. She was sweet, and friendly, you never felt awkward with her. Even if you had never met her before. She gave me alot of spiritual advice. I do not think any one on this planet could ever replace her. She was only sixteen and was going to turn seventeen in next month. She was there for you when you needed someone to lean on even if you were miles away! And she could make the most unmatched clothes look absolutely FAB together. She loved Mountain Dew and Winterfresh gum. And she had this little fast food mexican restraunt she loved to eat burrittos at. But sadly I can not remember the name of it. And as for her sister Stephanie, she was wise beyond her years, only 18 she loved to read, but she also knew how to have a good time the clean way. She has this brown Indian Outfit from India obviously...it was her FAVE!!! They had both just got back about a month and a half ago from a mission trip to China.

     Laurie had had got too, they were able to get nearly free mission support due to another church backing out and them having left over money. Grace and Rachel always had sisterly fights about the most random things. Grace loved to be the "annoying bother" type...even if she is a girl! Laurie and Rachel  shared a room and then Stephanie and Grace shared a room! When I went up there in January Laurie was on a six month mission trip with the oranization listed in the article...she was some where in the 10/40 window, but I was not allowed to know where. It was very dangerous. And Stephanie was fixing to go off to college in her own made up way, she was going to go travel the world to get her own schooling on what she wanted, and Rachel was still trying to consider going to the Honor Academy with me in August. They are all home schooled Laurie and Stephanie graduated High School a year and a half early and Rachel was almost done herself. Their favorite show was Hanna Montana! And they loved Josh Groban!!!!!!! They loved Curry Chicken with cheesy rice, and they loved Jane Austen. They had a get together just about every thursday where they would take on a Jane Austen character for the evening. I was Catherine from Northanger Abbey, Rachel was Anne Elliot, and Stephanie was Eleanor Dashwood. We were all who we most resembled in personality! I wanted to be Marrianne Dashwood, but Laurie had first choice...lol!

     The New Life Church had the best praise and worship since Acquire the Fire! I loved dancing to the songs that The Desperation band sung....Stephanie even gave me her only CD by them because I loved them so much! While I had been there in January we went to this little italian Restaurant...I think it was called Biaggis Ristorante Italiano, They have the best tasting tea... I don't know what they put in it but I could even drink it unsweet, and if you ask my mom that is saying something!!! I want to go back and get their shrimp and Scallops...YUM. Last time I went Rachel got the Veal Parmesan, I did not prefer it though! And they have great salad too.

     But any way I need to go. If anyone out there wants to ask about Rachel or Stephanie just ask! They will always be in my heart, and if you know them, they would be in your too. Rachel wanted to be a Missionary Teacher in Paraguay. But I don't know what else to say about such great girls, they left a mark in this world that will never be forgotten. I love them and I love their family that they left behind, I was even in their house when they had decided that New Life was going to be their home church until they moved back with the rest of their family in Nebraska.

     But I really need to go or I will sit here all night just thinking of things to say abouot them. And even though it will end up being said, I cannot say it tonight because I am too tired and too numb!!

    And forgive my bad spelling! I am not in the mood to care if you know what I mean!

    Making sense to anyone???

    I hope for all who read that could understand my position. I know I am horrible at getting what I want to say out in one smooth line of convo. But I needed to get it out there. I am not questioning my Faith if that is what it came out to be, I am questioning what trust truly means in any form. I need to know what I am looking for in a friend! But if I do not know what a certian quality mean how can I know when I find it?

    But I do know I have a right to feel hurt by all that has happened. First I lost my 'best friend' then I lose most of my other friends by just standing up for what I thought was the right thing to do, and the fact that one of them called me jealous!!!! Now I am going through the process of healing while I tell myself daily to forgive them...for they know not what they are doing... they are blinded by Satan and all I can do is love them and pray for them. I can not make them see what is going I can only leave it in God's hands and walk away...which is exactly what I am going to do. I am gong to find some more people I can relate to that are older than me so I can look up to them. But like I said last time, I have my aunt and God. And that is all I need!

  • What is trust?

    Trust is the confidence in or reliance on a specific person/thing. Faith is like that in a way, except it takes trust a step further. Faith is the belief in or trust in somebody/something, especially without logical proof.

    Now you may be asking why I am posting about this, but I have been asking myself about this an awful lot lately. I have been dealing with some problems that deal with trust. I have know this girl who thinks that when someone is in trouble...as in BAD home life trouble...that you should not do anything about it. No matter how serious it might be. And when I tried to deal with my situation that involved another frind she called me a bad friend for breaking her trust...even when the whole problem was not hers to deal with in the first place. And then she has the audacity to sit there and call me jealous about a stupid dance. We have known each other for five years and she is now showing me...okay it is more along the lines of my eyes opening...that she not only has NEVER had trust in me, but that she really never knew me. I know it sounds crazy but when I sent her a quiz about me she could not answer. So now I have to deal with my own trust issues with God. I know it might souns wierd, but I keep comparing my situation with our relationship. And it is good I know, but I do question somtimes how much I truley have faith in Him. I have been asking Him lately what He has in store for me if I keep losing allthe trust I have in so called friends. The only one who has been sticking atmy side has been my dearest friend besides God has been my Aunt!!! I love he so much.

About Me

  • I am a crazy white gurl (as some of my friends call me) I am crazy for Jesus and I can not wait until I can move to South America so I can befriend the people. And because of my impatient self I have gone on three mission trips to Astralia/ New Zealand, Peru, and Mexico. I am trying to go to Panama (okay song in my head) and Peru/Argentina on mission trips. Then in August 08 I am going to the Honor Academy (Heya Interns)! I am the oldest of six kids, used to be seven, was going to be eight, and there was possibly a ninth. And my mom wants a dozen..l0l! I personaly feel I am going to mary at about 23 and have four kids one set of twins and after the youngest is about seven I plan to adopt three! And unless God changes my desires that is what I feel called to acomplish in life, and in all that time I will be living in South America reaching the native people, living in huts and having fun showing them that Jesus is the only true happyness!
