NEVER GET COMFORTABLE!

2006-01-10T20:07:00.000-08:00

Hello Everybody

i know its been a while but i have been really really busy. so to i thought that i would catch you up on whats been goin on here in my life. well to start out im pretty sure alot of you know that i have been put in charge of headin up and leadin the Childrens church here in Saint Charles it was a really big pill to swallow but im so thankful b/c i felt that thats what God has laid on my heart to do when i moved here and when dan asked me i was jumpin up and down inside. lol um so yea not forsure when its actually gonna start cause we dont really have the space to do it in the coffee shop but we are gonna be movin into a new buildin soon so i can give you all the rest of the details when i get them. umm whatelse oh yes I AM MOVING! yes i along with sarah have decided to move into a new apartment b/c our landlords have sold our house to the library so on either the 4th or the 15th of feb we will be movin into a apartment that has been redone inside and out that the people we rent from now just bought. but the reason i called this blog never get comfortable is because i had a word from God that when i get here to not get comfortable adn to not unpack my bags. so when we had the meetin with our landlords i knew right away that i was movin whether sarah was gonna or not. and it took her longer than it took me to know that that is where we are suppose to be but God is FAITHFUL all the time so yea i just think its so cool how i have only been here since the 6th of july and im movin already but thats how we should be we should be ready to do what God wants us to do at any minute. so yea im just really excited b/c i want to always be in and doin Gods will at all times and thats all i really have to say so i guess i will talk to you all soon ok i love ya peace out Erin

A FAITH THAT PRODUCES IS A FAITH THAT PROPHETS !

2005-11-02T23:12:00.000-08:00

GOD IS SO GOOD! Ok so on Sunday as many of you know Andrew was here in Saint Charles and can I just say what a blessin. To start off he did an awesome job on the message and then after that he has several words of knowledge and we saw a lot of people healed AMEN. Then he prayed the sinners prayer and 3 people gave their life to the Lord. Know nobody else knew who had done it except for Andrew and God then Dan got up and called one of the guys who had done it and as the gentleman came forward we all started to ball our eyes out why because this man has been comin to church for a while and he hated religion and anything to do with it and so when we saw him come forward we were all cryin because we have been prayin for so long. It was so awesome it was such a surreal moment that's the only way I can explain it but anyway he ended up getting baptized in the river and he also asked to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and he didn't speak in tongues on Sunday but I believe he will but then yesterday at life group he shared with us that he had had sever arthritis in his whole body and Andrew had called that out as a word of knowledge and this man has been TOTALLY healed hallelujah! So yea God is awesome. So I thought that I would just share with you what is goin on here and God is just addin people to our body like crazy and we are just totally blessed and are excited as a body to see what else God has in store for us. title of my post its so true because we all had faith that this man would come to know the Lord and look what happened with a little thing called faith ok well I better go ok hope that are stired by this cause guys all we gotta have is faith and we will see and do great things than Christ and let me tell you I wanna be one of those who do and see those things so lets have faith and I have a prayer request for you guys that you would pray for me to stay strong in my faith for my brother RYAN to receive salvation because I have been prayin for him and you all know that it can be frustratin at times so if you could just keep him and I in your prayers that would be awesome. I have Faith that my brother WILL give his heart to the Lord because A FAITH THAT PRODUCES IS A FAITH THAT PROPHETS ! ok well i hope to hear from you all soon love ya Erin

NOT KEPT MY PROMISE!

2005-10-19T22:57:00.000-07:00

hello
well first of all i would like to apologize for not keepin my promise of bloggin everyday but i have truly been very busy so i m sorry. ok now life in saint charles is awesome as of sunday i am no longer a teenager i am 20 and that scary but i am so excited because i was really thinkin when everybody was askin me what i wanted to do in this next year of my life and this is what i came up with : i guess that i never really realized that on your birthday you get to start a band new year of your life meanin that you no longer have to be who you were when you were before well always new that it was a new year but never really thought about it i guess maybe because i was so young still not sure but anyway: i in this new year of my life want to move forward not back i want to bring people into God's kingdom not just help them in and then leave them but to see them baptized in water and in holy spirit because it is our job as christians to help make sure that they know that it doesnt stop after they give their lives to Jesus but that there is always more. i also want to get into the word even more i want to have a bigger passion and a zeal for my father i just want more. i want people to see by just lookin at me that there is somethin different about me and that i make them ask themselves whats different and that they want what i have. i want to " SET MY MIND ON GOD, SET THE FLESH ASIDE, AND CONDUCT MYSELF AS A SINGLE CHRISTIAN IN AWAY THAT DEMANDS AN EXPLANATION." i want to be content in my singleness why beecause there are things that God has planned for me to do that i will only be able yo do when i am single and i would hate to miss out on doin them because i was to wrapped up in findin my husband. and there was more but i dont really want to write them all down cause yeah but atleast here are a couple and i hope that you enjoy readin the few that i did write. ok well i will talk to you later love and miss you all and i look forward to hearin from you all soon love ya E

Choose Your Identity! Who Are You Gonna Be Known As?

2005-08-26T19:16:00.000-07:00

God is so Good and he uses the silliest things to provoke you. Yesterday as I was commenting on everybody's blogs I went to publish my comment and before you are allowed to post your comment it says "Choose An Identity." and right at that second God spoke to me and said What is your identity? And who do you want to be known as ? Do you want to be Known as GAPPERTRILOGY ,Other, or Anonymous. And it really just hit me because its so true we need to Choose our identity. I can go through life known as "GAPPERTRILOGY" Erin Dugan and people only knowning me because I was on the GAP and so that's all they remember me as someone who was a servant, a strong woman of God, and someone who was there to help her friends. And just bein myself and bein known as somebody who God truly changed on the GAP team. I could also go through life as "Other" being known as Erin Dugan "oh she was some girl on the GAP you know Mike Dugan's daughter." Or lastly being known as Anonymous. Which is somebody I don't want to be known as, as somebody that nobody knows and no one even knows that I'm a Christian. Why because that's who I was known as before the GAP and I will never be known as Anonymous again because I have nothing to be ashamed of. God has done so much for me in my life that I will never want to go through life not letting people know about the goodness of God. And about how they can receive Jesus as their personal lord and savior. And also that there is NO one like him there is NO one on this earth that could have helped me get through what I've gone through in my life other than my personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There is nobody else who would have died for you because they loved you so much and wanted the best for you. So in closin my identity is goin to be Erin Dugan A strong woman of God who is willing to go out of her way to do whatever God wants her to do to beable to be livin the Life that God has for her. And that's what my identity is and will always be and that's who I want to be known as. Well ok I better go but I just wanted to share with you what God had laid on my heart because I felt I was suppose to so I hope that all of you are well and I will talk to you later ok. Love Ya Erin
Think About This:
