Fears

I am afraid of an abnormally large amount of things... The dark, spiders, snakes, creepy bugs (like centipedes), large animals, heights, being alone, and being stuck in a small space with to many people are just some of the big ones I also cannot watch horror movies of any kind they give me nightmares.... But the funny thing is I don't fear death, now don't get me wrong I don't want to die but I am not scared of it. I know that when I die I am going to spend an eternity in heaven with my father and I will get to spend the rest of my days worshiping him forever and ever amen.

D & D

Today is the day I am going to play D & D at Dinovite with an amazing group of people, if you are someone who hasn't met me then I understand your confusion yes, yes indeed I am a super nerd. Totally a good thing though games in good moderation and of the right kind are great stimulants for the logic centers of the brain. When I first started studying latin it was a piece of cake because I already knew every other word from one RPG or another. but don't let you or those you are responsible for get absorbed with it, A. because if it gets a higher focus than God it's sin & B. Because if you spend to much time on games and not physical activity, you will end up having to try really hard like I am to get into shape later. On that note I did 600 crunches yesterday new record, this morning I weighed 364 I have been staying around that weight since I switched from heavy cardio to heavy strength training.

Plates

God never puts more on our plates than we can handle so when times are down and you feel over burdened remember God gives us the strength to conquer all the temptations he puts in our lives so when the suffering sets in read this verse ‎13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.  Corinthians 10:13  

Church

I attended the 4th service at Grace Fellowship last night, it was awesome to get to see some of my friends again. I was surprised at the amount of youth leaders there I counted 8 including those who are in training and those who left only recently. While I don't like watching the sermons as much as being there when they are given in the morning, it's so awesome how everything including the crowd responses are almost identical to the film. Worship was amazing some of the songs were new to me but it was still a great time. I got to converse with many of the youth leaders before and after service which was awesome and helpful. Can't wait to go again!

The Future

I had a really interesting conversation with one of my best friends last night and it is the inspiration for today's post. To start off a small note the future Mrs. Ty-Fyter, you must meet the following requirements 1. Be of the female gender of the human race. 2. You must love Jesus with all of your heart and being trying your hardest to follow his example. 3. Have to be willing to spend the rest of this life with me. Next I have prepared a small list of suggestions that would make it all better if you met these too. 1. Be ultra nerdy so we can spend lots of time together watching Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. 2. Want quite a few kids and enjoy the idea of adopting. 3.Like food. 4. Being willing to tell me no when I try to train all of the little kids to be spartan soldiers and compete for world domination with the Duggars. Well that's nice and summed up but apparently in the future I am going to end up a slightly grumpy extremely over protective dad... Who is going to raise an awesome generation of kids who have at least a 98% chance of being awesome. Homeschooling definitely. Training of my boys so they act like mature men by age 12 done. Raising a delightful group of ladies who don't want to date because boys are icky done. I am so ready for this haha my time in this little world will be awesome!

Give thanks

I am so thankful for all the friends God has put in my life and all the leaders he has placed for me to follow as examples. I love my friends who are there for me when I need them they are some truly amazing people. The people God has put in my life have been perfect for him to work through and change my life. I am so thankful that God has called me to be among his people, that he has saved me from eternal condemnation. Praise and glory to God for he is good so very good.

Co-op

Today is co-op day I woke up late so I didn't get to do my morning devotional... My plan is before classes start to do my reading off somewhere quiet. After co-op I am watching the movie Eragon with the book club then the rest of the day I will have to finish preparing for my game of D & D later this week. Sorry I don't have my weight this morning didn't get to weigh... and oh I have small tiny welts on the palm of my hand from where yesterday I was in the woods smacking sticks on trees until they exploded well I think thats all there is to tell this morning.

Harry Potter Marathon

I was thinking about this today, how neat would it be to watch all the movies in a row that is like 19 hours and 40 minutes... I dont have time to do this but it made me think if I could I would have had that marathon and dedicated almost 20 hours straight of my life to harry potter. Would I do that for Jesus? Would you do that for Jesus? would you spend 20 hours straight in a Jesus marathon doing nothing but prayer worship and praising him? Funny how that might strike someone as being crazy oh he must be a nut if he wants to spend that long praying to God. But in our society we can dedicate that kind of time to movies, games, friends, ipods, etc... but if prayer or worship are mentioned it is that thing we do what in the morning, on Sunday, or maybe just around the holidays...  Just something to think about how much of your time are you willing to dedicate to Jesus.

after completing 100 crunches, walking various distances, other exercise and an amazing night of worship. I weighed 362 this morning which is my lowest yet having lost 23 pounds. Yesterday at the First Church of Christ on Camp Ernst I got to spend time with my friends and had lots of time to worship. I got to talk with my friend Greg go K-9's *cough* *cough* I mean GOOOOOOOOO TEAM GO! haha. Lots of prayer and good times!

This morning during devotional I read Romans Chapter 2, which basically says don't Judge because you do the same stuff. I really like the book of Romans and I recommend it as a starting point for devotionals as it was recommended to me when I first started. I have been praying throughout the day in the past month or so that God would make me stronger and more able to carry out his will in my life and that I would be prepared for all the tasks he has in store for me. He has been very faithful to me in that area last month January 9th I weighed 385 and had the willpower of a goat... Today I weighed 365 and feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. God is good and I feel great.

I am sending out a prayer request not for me but for all the other teenagers out there. Every time I check facebook I can always find these posts by men and women (mostly women) about how they aren't in a relationship, or it just ended or how they were their entire world. First off dating really? you spill your feelings out to someone then they leave you and your heart gets crumpled... I don't know it just doesn't seem like something we are supposed to do to ourselves. Then even if you insist on dating whats the point? when your dating someone are they who you intend to marry one day? If not then you know you aren't doing anything good for you or your future spouse. Plus at this stage in life where everyone has those 'raging teen hormones' you really think you will be safe? that you wont make any mistakes during that 'dating' relationship? well anyway I just want everyone to pray for my generation of kids who seem to me obsessed with dating, they are hurting themselves and they don't even know it.  (oh and to all the people who keep saying on facebook "no one cares about me" or "no one wants to listen to me" it is far from the truth you ALWAYS have God and I am willing to listen if you can get a hold of me. Thanks for reading my rant haha!

Beginnings

This is the first post of my new blog, I am going to try to share with you guys my beliefs and my journey through life and how God is working in it. Today I was convicted about my lack of devotionals, I had done them before but had fallen out of the practice. This morning after I got ready for the day I took probably a small but still good half hour to read Romans chapter 1 and pray giving thanks to God for the wonders he has worked in my life.
