<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Has it really been almost 2 years since my last post?</div>
So much has changed.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Honestly, I am updating my blog because I like to reflect back on how far God has brought me. Forewarning, don't read if you don't want to take a look into my life the past year. This blog has many memories and I want to add on to it.)</span><br />
<br />
2 years seems like a lifetime ago. I was hurting, broken-hearted, uprooted, and quite frankly, needing God more than ever. I questioned everything I was taught and needed answers, but thankfully, there was one thing I knew for sure...<br />
<br />
<u>God had plans and He would be all I needed.</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Fast forward to October 2017 and I have lived in the state of Washington for a year, moved into my dreamy studio apartment in August, and I work in beautiful northern Idaho making & working more than I would have in Southern California. Who would have thought? Little Miss Meagan, moving 1.300 miles away from her family because God opened doors and said, "Come."<br />
<br />
This place has become home. A feeling you can't describe.<br />
<br />
How did I get here? What prompted me to move? How did God open the door for an independent, single, 21 yr old girl to move states away from everything and everyone she has ever known?<br />
<br />
It all started with the visit from 2 years ago, November 2015, when we moved my Great Grandpa up here. I booked my flight the weekend before I left <b>and the moment I stepped off the plane, I knew.</b> I fell in love with the weather - chilly, fall, four-season weather. Then, I fell in love with the church.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, I met hardly anyone from the church on the 1st trip. I was hardened, bitter, and resentful (you name it). Not the best combination when meeting new church folk, right? I <i>honestly</i> thank God none of the people tried to have a conversation with me. I was hurting too bad, and God had so much work to do on me. I probably had bitterness seeping through my teeth. (Is that too honest? I hope you understand...) The evangelist preached on not letting the devil steal your praise. A message I needed to hear and be reminded of.<br />
<br />
April 2016 was my next visit for Summit Conference at our church. There, I met new people and began to develop friendships. It went so well, that I made 5 more trips in less than 6 months. I couldn't stay away. Almost like a magnetic pull, we didn't say goodbyes, we said, "See you soon!"<br />
<br />
I was attending my 1st year of college, and when it came time to enroll for my 2nd year, I had a feeling I should wait. I also applied for my Pharmacy Tech licensing through the state of Idaho in June 2016, just in case my plans to move to in Spring 2017 would come to life.<br />
<br />
The trip that did me in? It was the end of September 2016 and my Great Grandpa had a massive heart attack with less than 1% chance to live... But GOD! He became a miracle and God healed him! I booked my plane ticket back to California the 1st week of October. I had to get back to work and my adult responsibilities. <b>But I regretted leaving. </b>That feeling hadn't happened before, and I knew there must have been a reason for it. I ended up talking to management in California, and inquired on how easy it was to transfer to another Walgreens. It was simple - make a phone call and see if that store has a position available.<br />
<br />
What did I do? I called the Walgreens in northern Idaho. Can you guess what happened? ... They were needing a full-time pharmacy technician because someone put in their 2 weeks notice that day. So guess who moved in 3 weeks? ME. I moved here on October 29th, 2016.<br />
<br />
A testimony that I won't get tired of telling - full of little details, I could write a short biography, but I have written enough for me to be reminded of how far I've come. I am blessed by God. He brought me here and I am forever grateful to be under Pastor Mayo of Cornerstone church in Liberty Lake, WA.<br />
<br />
If you are reading this, and you need a reminder... <u><b>GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART. </b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>

Tonight may be the exception but I will refrain from letting emotions get the best of me.<br />
<br />
We are all facing trials. Whether you are 16 years old and tempted to cut your hair, 18 years old and thinking about leaving the church since you are technically an 'adult', 21 years old and being pressured to drink, or 24 years old and struggling with hurt and depression.<br />
<br />
<b>The struggle is REAL!</b><br />
<br />
The truth is, we are all at different points in our walk with God and, believe it or not, the trials are ALL God-ordained. They have been put in our life specifically for us and to make us more like Christ. The struggles you are facing are a test of your faith and love for God, but they are also there so you can learn from your mistakes and help others when they go through the same trial.<br />
<br />
Honey, if you are dealing with hurt, I could quote scripture after scripture giving you encouragement and to cast your cares on God, and to forgive you neighbor 70 times 7 each day! Friend, if you are struggling to live for God, let's talk and get fired up again! Let's pray together.<br />
<br />
I cannot emphasize this enough, but we cannot do it on our own. I need my family. I need my friends. I need the church. I need their love, encouragement, and fire! The Bible says that I need someone to be there for me...<br />
<br />
<u>Ecclesiastes 4:10</u><br />
<i>"For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
As you go through life, through your trials, don't pull back from people who care about you and don't forget this is all happening for a reason. Take a step back and see what God sees. Take a look at the big picture and pray for revelation.<br />

My uncle and aunt are foster parents - also, adopting. It was incredible to see what they do for these kids. Eye opening! These precious kids touched my heart so deeply. There are countless children who have been touched by my aunt and uncle's love. The kids have experienced God's love through them and will forever remember the impact it made on their lives. </div>

The reason for my weekend getaway? My Great Grandpa remarried, he is 84 years and my Great Grandma is 80 years old. They were divorced for 43 years, and in the last 2 months, they reconnected... Lol, you are never too old for love. They married at Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho.</div>

Adventures with Meagan :) lol!</div>

Restore. Renew.Spoken by a friend about what the process looks like: "It's like a forest that has been burned to the ground. Looks barren, desolate, hopeless; but from the ashes rise tree sprouts that populate the forest again. Although it may take years upon years, the trees regrow, restore, regenerate, renew. From loss there is gain, from death there is life."<br />
<br />
God has a plan and there is a bigger picture that sometimes we cannot see. Ask for God's eyes. Ask for God's anointing so your life could be a testimony of God's greatness.<br />

A poem I wrote in 2009... but never published for anyone to read. I had a way with words back then. I suppressed many desires and talents the past few years but they are all coming back to me again. Maybe it's because I became too busy? Or focused on other things going on in my life? Either way, I want to be sensitive enough to write straight from my heart and paint beautiful canvases of emotion. As I grow older, I do not want to lose talents God has given me. I want to flourish and grow! </div>

The hustle and bustle gets old really quick. Vacations should happen more often and spontaneous trips are a must. On one of my impromptu adventures to Newport Beach to meet up with a friend, I met a lovely young lady named Cailee (Hi!!) at a store called LUSH. They have great natural skin care products that I had to try and we ran into her. She commented on how cute my outfit was and my friend said I should be a style blogger. Ha! What a compliment but I don't think so ;)<br />

We got to talking about what I post on my blog, how we don't wear makeup, and our careers, family history in the church, what we wanted to do in life... You know, girl talk! I am 20 years old and I already have a career. I am working towards a goal and making a great future for myself, both in the real world and spiritually. Most young people my age don't know what they are going to do with their life. The world says young people need to party and have fun, YOLO, right? Well, what kind of a future is that building them? There is a false sense of security, that after your 20s you can settle down and get your dream job. Hello! That's not real! The people who are successful started young and they were extremely dedicated and focused on accomplishing their goals in their early 20s. I don't want to be confused about where my life is going... I want to know what path I'm taking! The decisions I make TODAY create my future!</div>

With that being said, I want to know what path I'm on spiritually too. The ups and downs are a part of the journey. The storms, trials, struggles.. They are making a better Meagan. A Meagan who can give help and lead others to God. I souled out a long time ago, at a young age. My life is in God's hands and I'm not confused about what I believe. Imagine if I were? I'd be persuaded by every little lie the media tells. I'd be confused about all these religions, I wouldn't know what to believe!<br />
<br />
I'm thankful I'm not confused! I'm confident in my stance and walk with God! Decide today to be truly dedicated and know where you are going.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Megg<br />

People who are the opposite tend to drain me and leave me miserable. I have had so many patients come into the pharmacy that want to yell and throw around a bad attitude because something is not going their way :( After dealing with their anger and trying to calm them down, I want to sit in a corner and cry! Unfortunately, I'm being serious. It's rough dealing with those kind of patients but then there are the ones who come in with a smile on their face and tell you how wonderful their life is despite being at the pharmacy to pick up medications - the ones who actually remember your name. :)<br />

On Tuesday, next door to my pharmacy, there was a robbery and fatal shooting at Quiznos. I have thanked God every day that the shooter did not run into my store; I can only imagine what would have happened! (It's not something that would happen in San Dimas either) The gunman threatened to shoot customers if the owner didn't hand over cash. The owner, Mr. Patel, handed over the money but the gunman shot him when Mr. Patel followed him outside. He was the sweetest man, and he even knew my pharmacists' names. Sadly, he didn't make it through the surgeries and passed away. My patients haven't stopped talking about him the last few days, and all of them mention how kind he was. It got me thinking, what if he was a mean old man? And rude? I don't want to be known as a mean person, uncaring, or unkind. If I were to pass away, I would want to be remembered as sweet and loving. <3<br />
<br />
This has been a reminder for me to show God's love to everyone I meet and so should you :) We never know when our last day will be.<br />

<br />
Where I wish I could go back about 5 years to start all over. Have you ever had those days? Where we can be 15 again, before life got bumpy or trials came our way. Before there was a death, or a tragedy.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be pretty honest with all you girls out there who still read my blog. These nights have been an often occurrence since the beginning of the new year. It's been nonstop. The trials, the storms, the tests; it seems like they have been back-to-back.<br />
<br />
We have all faced opposition. We have gone through a few storms. Some of us have even turned away from the Truth because of discouragement or hurt.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you what has kept me, and most importantly, what can keep you.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Prayer. </span></b><br />
<br />
God only knows how many times I laid my burdens on the altar during prayer. The alone time with Him was the only thing that could comfort me most days.<br />
<br />
This thought came to my mind a couple of days ago on a rainy day before work,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">"Finding your voice in prayer..."</span></i></div>
<br />
My friends, my sisters; we need to find our voice in prayer.<br />
<br />
Finding your voice in prayer...<br />
...is finding your voice on the battlefield<br />
...is fighting for revival<br />
...is saving your friends' souls<br />
...is strengthening your Pastor<br />
<br />
God comforts, strengthens, encourages, and pours out His love when we pray. He is helping me get through the toughest times in my life, and without Him, who knows where I'd be.<br />
<br />
I love you girls, and I pray for each and every one of us to make it through.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love, Megg</div>

</div>
Since my previous post, Walgreen's called me in October and offered me a Pharmacy Technician position! How amazing is that?! I was so thankful to get hired by my intern site because I knew the patients, the daily routine, and they already felt like my work family.<br />
<br />
When the time came to order my scrubs, there was no way I would wear their scrubs pants and I spoke up right away. I told my manager, and guess what? He sent out an email, and it was approved for me to wear a scrub skirt. Let's just say I was the first for them :) but I get so many compliments at the pharmacy! So many of my patients have come in and commented on how cute it was, how they haven't seen a scrub skirt, didn't even know they made them. And OH MY GOODNESS, the compliments on my hair! LOL!<br />
<br />
Let this be a reminder for all the girls - all my friends - don't be afraid or ashamed of what (and Who) we stand for! You are a light! :)<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />

<br />
Today was my last day as an interning Pharmacy Technician! The Pharmacy Manager at Walgreens said I "am one of the best students they've had in awhile. Meagan took initiative to learn and to help staff and customers." I left happy! :)<br />
<br />
Then the Pharmacy Director of CVHP Hospitals (Citrus Valley Health Partners) said I was excellent in all areas and a knowledgable technician! :)<br />
<br />
To say the least, I am very happy with the experience I received from the hospital and retail pharmacy. I pushed to be the best and to understand how a pharmacy operates. I am not disappointed; nor do I regret going to a trade/vocational school. This is what I needed my first year out of high school. There was time to screw my head on my shoulders and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*happy sigh*</div>

I am blessed and highly favored. </div>

I daydream (often) of owning a beautiful house. Thanks to Pinterest, I have loads of decorating ideas for when the day comes! I know for me, I imagine it spotless clean, a warm and cozy ambiance, and unique art everywhere (preferably my own art). The exterior will have extremely detailed arches and columns, stones, and painted white with a bright door.<br />
<br />

<br />
I can go on about the material house I want... But I want to focus on a more important house. Ourselves.<br />
<br />
The Bible speaks of our bodies as a Holy Temple. I tend to dream of beautifying a material home but I should focus on beautifying my spiritual house.<br />
<br />
The couch shouldn't have rips or a broken frame so friends can come and relax comfortably. The mirrors on the wall need to be cleaned off so I can see myself more clearly. Even the floors need to be swept and vaccumed on a regular basis. I can't neglect to dust my pictures frames. Neither can I leave my luggage on my bedroom floor.<br />
<br />
Spiritually, we need to take care of our home, our soul. Praying on a regular basis dusts off the specks of anger and the sprinkles of a bad attitude lying on our heart. Taking out junk like past mistakes and regrets declutters our spiritual home and leaves room for more beautiful pieces of art God will give us. Stocking the fridge with healthy fruit instead of leaving old leftovers is like being fed the Word of God and hearing preaching from our Pastors. And don't forget to add artwork on the walls of our spiritual home that God designed for us specifically.<br />
<br />
I am just as excited about building my spiritual home as building my material home :) I plan to decorate with bright, happy, and clean colors! What about you?<br />

<br />
The scriptures say do not worry about what you will eat, drink or wear. The birds do not sow or reap, but God provides them with food and shelter.<br />
<br />
Aren't we better than the birds?<br />
<br />
Have faith in God that He will provide!!! Don't think, "what will my family eat? What will we drink? What will we wear? Where will we go?" God knows what we need before we ask of it!<br />
<br />

Yay! (Now, I'm done with internships on Sundays!) I have 60 more hours I need to complete but I will be done by the end of the month! *sigh of relief*</div><div><br></div><div>Can you tell I've been busy? I hardly saw family or friends and I was only attending Sunday night services. Trust me, that can take a toll on you. But through this hectic time God had a plan. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Proverbs 19:15</div><div>"Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger."</div><div><br></div><div>Proverbs 26:14 </div><div>"As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed."</div><div><br></div><div>Proverbs 31:27 </div><div>"She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eatery not the bread of idleness."</div><div><br></div><div>Idle: not working or active; doing nothing; not spent or filled with activity; not kept busy; avoiding work</div><div>Slothful: lazy</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It looks like the Bible is speaks clearly about being lazy. I found countless scriptures referring to being slothful and idle. In my eyes, from what I've read, I see that God wants us to be busy. He doesn't want us to sit on the couch and wait for work to come to us. He wants us to go out and be fervent and diligent in ALL things! Romans 12:11 says to not be slothful in business but fervent in spirit and serving The Lord. </div><div><br></div><div>When I finished my classes, I was wondering what I would do with my free time! I didn't want to sit at home and do nothing. I wanted to be out! I started working with my Mamaw in her real estate business as her personal assistant. Soon I will be getting my real estate license as well as my pharmacy technician license. :) </div><div><br></div><div>It's not about making more money, it's about staying busy! When I'm doing nothing, I find myself dwelling on the past and on hurts instead of moving forward in my life. I decided to fill my time. I feel happier.

Even though I AM 1/2 Mexican, I don't speak Spanish lol how sad is that!? They had a translator for the services though so I was able to pick up bits and pieces of the preaching or else I would have been lost! Bro. Bobby Jimenez was preaching about believing (Creere means I believe). One phrase I was able to hear over the roar of worship, was "I AM NOT A TROPHY IN HELL!" It really stuck with me Saturday night and all of Sunday.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~~~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><i style="font-size: x-large;">I'm going to be honest,</i> I have been struggling with discouragement, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">hurts, being prayerless, and a lack of worship. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was being lazy about prayer; even though the Bible has a couple things to say about it..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Acts 6:4 "<i>But we will <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">give ourselves continually to prayer,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> </span>and to the ministry of the word.</i>"</div>
<div>
Romans 12:12 <i>"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">...continuing instant in prayer;</span>"</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was always running sound or on the praise team so I felt like I needed to focus on those tasks instead of being in the altar and worshipping. I was discouraged about not being used by God. I was hurt over a lot of things.. There was a <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">CONSTANT</span></b> struggle in my heart and my mind. Almost like a war inside my head.. It was exhausting and it made me weak spiritually. It's like I was fighting with everything-using the last drops of prayer, worship, and anointing I had left in me. Eventually that supply runs out if you don't keep refilling it.. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaktglfSJnDRLa9XbVyAgzDyYjpzej85QWo72xGWTJey2tBkf1EgSjrHWW6HA86saed7K9PJKNScfHlG81vznKnHoj7yPL3A0_akOy-gkzm3UKcczZ6ubBazZBfewLX7hva1P67Rgtfo/s1600/Beth's+water+drop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioaktglfSJnDRLa9XbVyAgzDyYjpzej85QWo72xGWTJey2tBkf1EgSjrHWW6HA86saed7K9PJKNScfHlG81vznKnHoj7yPL3A0_akOy-gkzm3UKcczZ6ubBazZBfewLX7hva1P67Rgtfo/s320/Beth's+water+drop.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was at the point of giving up (several times), but every time I prayed to God and said "<i>I need strength, some encouragement... I don't <b>WANT</b> to give up this fight"</i> .. He always answered my prayer. An elder would walk up and say how much they appreciate or love me. I would get a hug. There was some spiritual strength... so I had a few more drops to use. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I didn't know... <i>The devil was already polishing my spot on a shelf in hell. He</i> figured eventually, I would be too weak, get too exhausted, and give up. He knew I didn't have a solid prayer life, I was hardly worshipping, he would dig at the scars on my heart and place more discouragement and lies in my head. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So at that Saturday night service... I realized, the devil thinks<b><i> I'M HIS TROPHY</i></b>. It weighed on my mind the next Sunday morning service. I wanted to go up in the altar and worship but I didn't. Sunday night I had a made up mind, at one point in this service, I'm going to show the devil that <b><i><u>I'm NOT his trophy!</u> </i></b></div>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
That is exactly what I did. We were on the platform for choir and as we ended a powerful song, I thought <i>"worship now while I have the chance."</i> I ran the aisles and once I got back to the altar, I let God take over and I worshipped! With everything that I had! I gave it my all! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">I needed the breakthrough and God came into the sanctuary and blessed me with a fresh anointing and sparked a fire back in my heart. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Take that devil! I'm not your trophy! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
If you haven't heard or follow me on Instagram (megg_rowell), then you probably don't know I made a drastic, life-changing decision regarding my acne and my health. <br />
<br />
Most of my friends have known I had chronic cystic acne! (Ugh, it is miserable! It should be treated as a disease because it's painful and hurts a person in every way! Emotionally, physically, AND spiritually!) I was praying at the beginning of this year for God to HEAL me! I was so desperate to get rid of it! <br />
<br />
<br />
On February 1st, I spent the night with my Aunt Kristy and my Mamaw, who both own a Vitamix blender and the subject came up about my acne. My aunt said she had seen recipes on the Vitamix website that can help with acne!! <br />
<br />
WHAT!?!? 😳<br />
<br />
So my Mamaw looked up videos on YouTube related to curing acne with food. She showed me this video about the Raw Food Diet on February 1st (You can see the actual video on my other blog, Radiant Beauty). The video explains what a person needs to do for this diet, what they eat and the benefits. I started the raw food diet THAT hour! I stopped taking all the oral medicines and using the topical gels... After only a FEW DAYS, I saw results! I did this diet for 30 days and decided I wanted to go even longer. It's now April 1st and I'm transitioning from an omnivore to an herbivore. <br />
<br />
<br />
Which means.. I'm going Raw Vegan! <br />
<br />
<br />
It's a LONG process y'all! But this is the best choice for my health! It's been so exciting and I feel great!! I have had so many friends support my decision and encourage me! Several friends have jumped on the health kick too :) <br />
<br />
A little side note :) when you see your friends eating healthy, please don't make fun of them. They're feeding their physical body healthy foods. Encourage them!<br />
<br />
<br />

Here is pretty much everything I said lol yes, I had to write everything down word for word because I knew I would get nervous and stumble without it.<br />
<br />
"These last couple weeks, I've really been thinking about what I'm going to do with my life. <br />
<br />
I'm starting my Sr year of HS & by now, teachers say We are supposed to have a career picked out, the colleges We want to attend to make that career choice possible, & have all these tests done in order to get into a top notch college right out of high school.. That's a lot when you think about it.<br />
<br />
I'm also turning 18! Yes, 18. Parents say that by 18 we have to get a job to help with the mortgage on the house, help pay insurance, start paying our own phone bill, and overall expect a lot more responsibility from us. <br />
<br />
For me, it's a double whammy this year! <br />
<br />
All this has been so overwhelming to me this summer! I didn't know what to think.. <br />
<br />
So when we went camping for about 8 days, I had plenty of quiet time to think. I told a couple people already about this. <br />
<br />
Which btw, awesome preaching by Bro Steven last Friday night. It was a beautiful message. I know that all of the young people are thankful for the move of God that night.<br />
<br />
Well, I had a lot of time by myself to just sit and think.. In those times, I felt like I had someone talking to me about what my life would be like in church.. It didn't seem like a big deal to me but I would think "okay I have a choice... I can give everything I can to God, or I can let it all go to waste and just sit back and maybe even backslide." I felt like I had God talking to me saying I had a choice, it was my decision. Even during the day, i would sit down and just look over the mountains thinking about the rest of my life. One of those days, I said in my mind, "okay God, I'll make my decision the day I go home." well, I was supposed to go home Tuesday but I ended up staying at the camp until Friday. I forgot about making the decision, it didn't cross my mind again. I found out that we had youth service that Friday night so, I tried my hardest to get here. I was almost an hour late! But during Stevens preaching, I remembered this promise I made to God. (What a coincidence that the day I came back there was a youth service as well..) I was going to decide.. During camping I really didn't make a big deal out of what I was thinking and feeling but it hit me when I was up in the altar Friday. "God, I'm making my decision tonight. Use all of me. I want to be mightily used." <br />
<br />
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV)<br />
<br />
I know I've read this scripture several times before when I've been asked to share whats on my heart but it's a very good scripture to be reminded of. I may not know what career I'm going to work towards, not even the college I'd want to attend, but as long as I am close to God, I know I'm in good hands. When it comes to life, if you are in God's hands, you'll be safe. <br />
<br />
For the rest of my life, I will not only stay in church but also work to being mightily used by God.<br />
<br />
God Bless."<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading! And here is a picture for good measure lol my baby brother and I <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpBp8TRU1KkL5rZ-SXsm-7OQLVziUSZVVOKh0oo3AbtqU1bZ-ggpCkmd_cQkDc3-3AuP-Tbdk_tO4nsn0pagVaoCBKhTpmzIiaNV90mGQvK0FyAlzhk2zPMVUVGZi1L7K2demNagY9eN7/s640/blogger-image--1341789846.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpBp8TRU1KkL5rZ-SXsm-7OQLVziUSZVVOKh0oo3AbtqU1bZ-ggpCkmd_cQkDc3-3AuP-Tbdk_tO4nsn0pagVaoCBKhTpmzIiaNV90mGQvK0FyAlzhk2zPMVUVGZi1L7K2demNagY9eN7/s640/blogger-image--1341789846.jpg" /></a></div>Meagan Rowellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15629308344744557678noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160543393950584357.post-77921870099444287332012-07-02T10:16:00.001-07:002012-07-02T10:16:17.519-07:00A ReminderJust a small reminder...<br />
<br />
God does give you the desires of your heart! <br />
<br />
Also, please keep my cousin Karla in your prayers. She isn't in church and is going through a lot! I've been working on her for several years now about the Holy Ghost and baptism but it takes awhile. <br />
<br />
Thank you all!!!

I know I have a past! Even though I was raised in Pentecost, I had to go through life too. I was tested in certain areas. This post isn't to tell of what I went through and did, but I'm writing this to tell that the PAST can be used in the FUTURE... <br />
<br />
"Wow? Really? How?"<br />
<br />
There's <strong>someone else</strong> going through the same<em> temptations</em>, the same <em>tests</em>, the same <em>emotionally and spiritually draining things in life</em> as you did but they are going through it <u>right now</u>! We have to tell what we learned help us get through those trials.. <br />
<br />
**A couple nights ago, I was with a group of friends and it was asked jokingly if a couple of us girls had ever worn make up. I wasn't going to lie, even if it was jokingly asked. So, of course, I say yes (I hope I didn't shock any of you reading LOL). I was modeling and acting when I was about 13 years old and wore make up for photoshoots... I don't know if I need to explain but this was before I had gotten really into church and living for God... <br />
<br />
My past experiences can help encourage a new young person in the church. "Yes, you wore pants and make up, but that doesn't mean God can't use you! I've come a long way, and so can you." <br />
<br />
They can encourage a friend who has been in church her whole life. "God still forgives. You have to forgive yourself and move forward." <br />
<br />
Our past can help someone's future. <br />
<br />
Please, I encourage you to use your past experiences to help others going through the same things :)<br />
<br />
With much love,<br />
