Interests: I am a student at Cedarville University, I enjoy music and drama, "acting is my thrive and singing is my heart". I enjoy reading a good book... but above all - the Word of God- I'm desiring to be infatuated with it. My passion is serving my Father in furthering His kingdom, I love serving Him in ministry and watching His mighty hand at work. Camp ministry is the best! gotta love that WOL! I like to be crafty, I like attempting to play my guitar if I ever have any stinking time, LAUGHING and making funny faces, I like to travel, I like being in Fl.. it feels like my second home, I like singing as loud a I possibly can, and shopping... shoe shopping especially!! I love spending quality time with friends and family, and being outside admiring God's handiwork...the smell after it rains and breathing in the crisp air of a good snow, watching the sun rise and set and occasionally I like a thunderstorm.. I just enjoy LIFE!
Expertise: You are only as good at something as you perceive yourself and others to be, you are an expert according to your standards of expertise...

just because I randomly wanted to...

I bought a fish.

I'm not a huge fish fan... but sometimes they are fun to watch


You've seen those ugly black fish with the big bug eyes? Yea, I got one of those...

 He is sitting on my office desk.
 
This is his story... I was in Wal Mart late last night... and watching the gold fish... this particular little punk of a fish was swimming around nibbling on the others... I thought "how mean!" But at the same time, I liked him best. He's quite stingy with food as well... So I have named him Phinehas. ISamuel 2 describes Eli's two sons (Hophni and Phinehas) they were bad and took meat from the priests sacrifices in the temple, more than what God had commanded them to take and they felt no remorse. Phinehas is naughty... but maybe after sitting through a few counseling sessions in my office he will calm down. He will be my reminder that we all need a second chance, and a third, and a fourth...However, I will not be getting him a friend, as I fear he may resort back to his canabolistic ways!

Purpose and Possibility

Mission: Colossians 1:28-29 “We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power which mightily works within me.”

Christ was very purposeful in everything He said and did… He is teaching me that more and more as we read through Mark. Everything He did had a reason behind it, a future purpose or gain, or something that would teach those around Him.

This reason I hold to, a longing for all to know the freedom and life that come from a heart and mind sold out for Christ, the wonder that comes in a life striving to know Him more, the power that indwells us the more we take hold of His Word.

His power works in me MIGHTILY… in every way…power to overcome the enemy and  thoughts and my flesh, power to overcome selfishness, greediness, loneliness, bad attitudes, worry, strife, stress, fret, fear, lack of knowledge…

There is so much I want to be, so much I want to do, so many places I want to go… It is as if I am constantly scatter brained… What could God possibly be up to? He is so big and capable of so much- ENDLESS!

Possibility… do I get so caught up in possibility that I forget to make purpose in the present? I think I am very guilty of this.

This is where God has me… now what is my purpose here and in this moment? It sounds as if I am discontent. Actually, I love what God is doing, I love where He has me and I love watching it unfold… I am discontent with my attitude that has spun from allowing non purposeful thoughts take hold. It all came from realizing that this job I have taken, really is real… it’s not a game, or a place to exist… it is a mission… His work. I can’t just wake up each morning and necessarily say- “ok Lord do something”- that’s lazy… I need to prepare, I need to know what it is that needs to be accomplished, and how it is that I am going to get there.  At least an idea.  That is how Jesus went through life, He knew the plan, and He acted on it. I may not know all future plans as Christ did…but I do know the ultimate end, and this should ever be at the forefront.

Purpose: to always proclaim the good news and truth (Isaiah 61:1-3)

Possibilities: endless (Ephesians 3:20)

Focus: this moment for which to know Him more and the Kingdom- only (Colossians 3:2)

Requirements: do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with my God  (Micah 6:8)

Janet Rose: not quickly forgotten (9/28/2008)

Dear Janny,

coffee dates, accountability talks, scripture memory, long walks in the park.

Burnt muffins, burnt cookies, burnt chicken- oops!

e-mails, and texts...broken dates, last minute runs.

jokes, and  laughs, stories for all.

tears.

practical jokes... remember when the boys had rainbow snow in their front yard  and candy hearts ingrained into the paint of their cars... who did that anyways?

pictures in the autumn breeze.

dancing and dishes...

a painting and a play...we fit them together because that was the only way.

hot apple cider and walks by the lake.

oh are those new shoes! when can I borrow them?

APEX- our church our home.

a cuddle on the couch, my laundry in your machine, a secret and an ear to listen.

conviction, a goal, a cause, a purpose.

Go tell them..those who have not heard!

Live like Him and be strong in the knowledge of your faith.

love Him. love others. love yourself.

a nervouse stomach.

and a man on the street, the girl who had not heard- we told.

hold my arm the snow is cold, the wind is chilly but if we keep close it's not so bad.

you said promise me forever friends...I said yes

yes

yes Janet Rose to live is Christ to die is gain

forever- one day

until then this cause, this call, this mission I'll persue

just promise you'll cheer me through

 

janet rose

I love you!

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

she said it was like the prodigal son...

mom said with tears..."he came home...

He left with nothing but a suitcase and a guitar, he returned with nothing more but a changed heart."

and next week, he heads to the Bible Institute

Yes! I will sing...to God who accomplishes all things for me

I love that Psalm, probably one of my most consistent favorites over the years. I just think about crying out to the Father asking Him to move, to have His way and accomplish ALL things for me... what a wondrous thing to serve a God who is so concerned with details and orchestrates this complex design and then performs it for us, all we have to do is be faithful and watch Him work.

Thank you Father!

Shane and Shane have a song that I love... the words to the chorus are "I beg for you to move"... it talks about doing and saying, but at the end of the day all the Lord wants is our love, and for our humble hearts to absolutely beg for Him to move in us. But sometimes I think we get caught up in the begging part, or maybe we feel like we have been begging forever and we haven't seen Him move significantly, so we assume He isn't moving at all. Oh but He is! I have been reminded of that... I try to take time to notice something everyday that He specifically did for me...however, if you are like me you still have those BIG things looming around in the "beg" section, and they have been there so long they've collected dust, and you just aren't sure if they will ever be "moved". So, in doubt we leave them set aside for seasons at a time, and essentially forget to even think that God might still be moving. When in reality, He is moving the whole time (and by the way, those small specific things you've taken note of- they're usually part of it) ... It's like when I organize my closet, I take everything out and dump it in a huge pile, the room looks like an explosion went off, everything is sorted and re-packaged or re-hung or folded, what have you, things are thrown away and given away and then everything is put back and most likely in a completely different place- just to make it feel even more fresh and clean...  it's like that with God, He's moving, but it just takes Him a while because He's throwing out and sorting and re-hanging everything, so that it is the best that it can possibly be. I'm so glad He works like this! How precious when explosive events happen and we realize He's either dumped everything out of the closet to begin the process or the last organized box has been put back on the shelf...

I love being able to trace His hand after He moves... there are so many "ah ha" moments... no wonder David and Paul speak of Him as a mystery, they had this figured out. How good He is to remind us of His mysterious ways by doing splendid things in our lives...I believe I am rambling in a circular fashion... my point remains, don't give up on the "beg box" in the back of your closet, as dusty as it may be, He's still at work.

 

This week, I know He is preparing me for a box to be put neatly back on the shelf... My time at Cedarville is almost over, I have been so anxious for what I know is coming next, that I wanted Him to just throw this one out... but I realized that there's more to be done, so together we are making it tidy :)   My Senior Theatre Project: Identity Crisis is the beginning of that- my hope is that through this play people will be inspired to be much like Jesus with the reality that that is their calling. A girls Bible study for the Theatre Deparment is under way as well, though I am leaving in Nov, I want the girls to begin to have fellowship in the Word together as a new tradition for the CU theatre. My prayer is that each of these will leave a lasting impact here, so that my name fades from this school but His name is all the more glorified.
