Welcome Back Allison Baker!

Yo! It's been a while since I "blogged" last. I need to get back in the habit. I guess now that I have facebook things have kinda changed. I love to write though and express my inner-self not matter how scary or ridiculous my thoughts are. HAHA!

So a lot has been going on. I'm still doing the whole college scene, I love college though it's been an exciting experience. I've met a lot of different people, which is totally awesome.

I teach middle school girls at my church, and I think they are awesome! They are really sweet girls and I am honored to teach them. I'm honored to point them toward the Bible, and to help instill in them truths about Gods word and and how it will help them in their everyday walk with him.

As far as music goes, it's still my hearts desire to be in the ministry some how some way. I've been invited to play at a ladies conference at my church next month, I'm totally excited about that. I'm grateful God has provided that opportunity.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo, but I've already had a lot of negative feed back on that idea so I don't believe I'll be getting a tattoo. Oh well.

So It's really pouring outside! AAHH!!! I'm really scared of high winds and rain, which is stupid, but thats just the way I am. I feels like a hurricanes a brewin' maybe even a tornado, thats even worse.

Well all for now my groupies, or whoever is reading this, maybe I'll keep it up.
PRAISE THE LORD!!
From the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord, shall be praised! Peace out!

Who believes what we’ve heard and seen? Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this? The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum. But the fact is, it was our pains he carried— our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures. But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. -Isaiah 53:1-6 The verses above have stuck out in my mind surrounding this Easter Season and in the midst of this plague. Jesus wasn't afraid of disease or death or anything deemed to b

Hupomone -- A Patient Endurance

Image
I can remember the first time I heard this Greek word, Hupomone (noun). (pronounced hoop-om-on-ay') It literally means remaining under the Divine Presence while being tested. I was sitting in the church my dad was pastoring at the time, a rural church in North Carolina. It's been well over 10 years ago. I was sitting on a pew with my friend Sarah, kinda toward the front. I don't remember anything about the sermon that day, just the word Hupomone. Sarah and I looked at each other and giggled like girls do, and Sarah blurted out, "What's humopone?!" My dad, the gracious man he is, answered her interruption. For the next few months Sarah and I would run around randomly saying, "Hupomone!" several times in a row. It really is a fun word to say. Looking back on it, what a great thing to do. What if there were people running around yelling Greek words at you to remind you, Endure! Endure! Endure! Endure! Endure! People probably thought we

That You May Believe

Image
  We see the word, "believe" a lot in our culture.  We are encouraged by wooden frames, and art to "believe in ourselves."  In all actuality that is idolatry telling you to place your faith in yourself.  I don't know about you, but I have no idea how to direct my life other than to trouble.  Do we really want to lift ourselves higher than God?  That we are worthy within ourselves to reject God and trust ourselves instead?  I guess we have all walked that path at one time or another.  My existence outside of Jesus Christ and His Spirit in me amounts to nothing.  It begins and ends.  I live for myself, doing whatever I please, going wherever.  It may be attractive for a season, but in the end my life it isn't hinged on any meaning. In throwing the word, "believe" around so much it looses it's meaning almost like when we tell people we love them without thinking or feeling.  Believe is a key word to the Bible, especially the book of John.  Belief
