This past month or so I've been doing a lot of thinking...I guess I should say I've been doing a lot of thinking these past few days especially. My heart is in a mass of chaos.
I miss my mom.
I miss the laughter.
I miss the memories.
I miss the homecooked meals.
I miss my brother and hanging out with him. I also miss that he protects me and would do anything and everything for me.
I miss Jenn.
I miss Tory & Wicket.
Basically, I miss my whole family & all of my friends that I am not living near...
Some people really don't know what it's like to move 9+ hours away from everyone they know and love. My heart aches to see them and hug them. But I can't...I need a job. This last year,, I have been doing a lot of job hunting and can show pages and pages of when I applied somewhere then who I called and talked to about my apps, or even the places where I went in and got face time with a manager. This last week, I was in Austin, TX for The Rock Spring Break Mission Trip. I broke down in tears twice on the first day of job-hunting. I just don't understand why I don't have a job yet...but I know that Jesus is calling me to be faithful in applying. I'm trying to network myself for any job really. I want a job that glorifies God, where I can work with other believers. A job working with kids is most ideal because I am really passionate about working with kids. We were sitting in the church where we were staying before we went out in the community to job-hunt and one of the guys from the church was giving us advice on how to sell ourselves and he told us that we needed to be BOLD in asking if they were hiring for the summer. So after that was the first time I broke down in tears...I was trying to stay strong but ended up losing it. Then out we went into Austin...every place said pretty much the same thing.."We aren't hiring right now and in the summer it might get slower..." It feels like last Spring Break and last summer all over again. I can't go thru this again...Please Jesus give me a job in Austin where I could transfer to Fort Collins at the end of the summer or one in Fort Collins that I could transfer to Austin then back to the Fort...I want to trust that you will give me one and when I think back on last summer, I know that you provided when I fully turned to you and cried out. But please Jesus somehow open the door for a job for me asap.
Another thing that's been on my heart a lot lately is the Bradshaw family. I met them over Thanksgiving break and Jesus has just been so gracious to use us in each others lives. I love Mom and Dad so much! They were in the same boat as me of not having a job...about 3 weeks or so ago they were flown to Las Vegas for an interview and then offered a position in Seattle. I was the first one they told besides their kids. Jesus has used them both so much in my life. For the first time in a long time I feel like I have a family that cares and loves me for me and not for who I used to be...I feel like they treasure me and want the best for my life. Jesus has been showing me that through me and Dad's relationship that I deserve respect and love. I deserve someone who will be both of those things in my life... That's actually one of the first things that I noticed about Mark (DAD)was that he respected the women in his life. A few weeks ago, I walked in their house and he said "WELCOME HOME!" and I knew he meant it...I'm definitely sad to see them go, because then I can't just show up at their house in tears and talk to them and pray with them. Mark and I went for a drive almost a few weeks ago and he told me that I'm one of his girls and that he is really worried about me since they told me. They left this morning for Dallas for 2 weeks for job training and then they will be back on the 31st and pack their moving van and leave the next day. It's not fair!!!!! It's now hitting me like a ton of bricks. I can't stay strong anymore...the tears are falling steadily now even as I write this. What I don't understand is why everyone I love leaves me or moves? There's been quite a few this last year and it sucks and it hurts....my heart is falling apart. Sometimes the person that leaves takes a part of my heart with them...This pain is indescribable and scary. :'( Jesus, I pray that you go with Mom and Dad as they move. I pray that you give them ministry opportunities at this new job and that I can visit them and my mom often. I pray that I can stay in touch with them and still share my life with them.
I've also been working through this book with a mentor and it's a hard book for me to get through....luckily she's letting me take my time. I know that Jesus is going to use this book in my life to heal me more from my past.
I read some sweet verses today:
"A voice crys, "Cry out," And I said, "What shall I cry?" "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall but the word of God stands forever." " -Isaiah 40:6-8
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:28-31
I thought that the first verses were cool because the breath of the LORD is blowing on us...that's insane in my mind... the word of GOD stands forever!!!!!!!!!!! Which I think is soo true! I want to be able to have the word of GOD on my heart and lips more often....I love the second set of verses. It has a really cool promise that Jesus gives strength to the weary and we shall run and not be faint...WHOA!
I'm going to attempt to keep up on my blog this time...

The song I wrote
"You Are There"
You are there, when the darkness sets in.
You are the light that goes before.
You are there when there is pain!
You know the things that pain my heart, my soul, and my body.
You reach out to me during my pain saying: "Take my hand, I'll guide you. I'll never leave you nor forsake you."
You are there when all I can do is cry. You are there with outstretched arms waiting for me to run right into them. You are there to wipe the tears from my eyes and tell me, "It'll all work out in the end or in my timing."
You are there when my whole world is crumbling. You are there picking me up and pushing me forward.
You are my strength when I am weak.
You are there to help me trust you.
You are there through everything.
You are there to show me you love me.
You are there-oooh
You are there-oooh
You are there
You are there, YOU ARE THERE!
You are there, when the darkness sets in.
You are the light that goes before.
You are there when there is pain!
You know the things that pain my heart, my soul, and my body.
You reach out to me during my pain saying: "Take my hand, I'll guide you. I'll never leave you nor forsake you."
You are there when all I can do is cry. You are there with outstretched arms waiting for me to run right into them. You are there to wipe the tears from my eyes and tell me, "It'll all work out in the end or in my timing."
You are there when my whole world is crumbling. You are there picking me up and pushing me forward.
You are my strength when I am weak.
You are there to help me trust you.
You are there through everything.
You are there to show me you love me.
You are there-oooh
You are there-oooh
You are there
You are there, YOU ARE THERE!
Beautiful Things--Gungor
"All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

Awake and Alive--Skillet
"I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
[Chorus]
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
[Chorus]
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you
[Chorus]
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up"
Try to pull me into the dark

You Love Me Anyway
Wow so it's been a while since I did a blogpost...so I figured I would do one and catch it up :)
So in December, I went to my moms for Christmas and it was hard to hug her and then walk away to get on the shuttle to head to slc to stay the night at Crissy's house and then I flew out for Faithwalkers which was amazing. It was seriously like open heart surgery...I learned how to have a better servant's heart and just to seek God even more for that heart. And also how to have a heart like God's for the lost. I learned so much at that conference...On a side note it was hard for me to leave some very dear people who have impacted my life...
On January 3rd, 2011, Stephy and Nick got married. It was such a joy to watch and partake in. It was cool for me to see how a marriage centered around Christ comes together. The wedding was so much fun and i danced and giggled. a lot...
Since January, I've been living in Fort Collins, CO. I knew that life here was not going to be easy and it hasn't.....God has opened my eyes and my heart to a lot more things. It's been a struggle but I know in the end it will be worth it...I've been faithfully looking for a job since then and it's frustrating at times and I feel overwhelmed...but God has the perfect job for me. I've also had a lot of heart struggles.
So there's this guy that I like and I was putting my hope into the things that he was saying to me and not looking to my Sweet Jesus...so I made a really hard decision and deleted him off of my facebook. I want to grow more in my relationship with Jesus! Before I deleted him, I was talking to a friend and she gave me this advice: "Waiting is hard but so worth it!" It really hit me at that point and time and I hadn't even said anything to her about him. Since then, I have gotten that same advice from a few other women in my life.
One thing that has been hard for me to learn is how to trust Jesus more....That has been HUGE in my life and to be honest, it is soo hard. I took a huge leap of faith to move to CO but its where God wants me. For a little while after I moved here I wanted only to get others to like me. I don't need to do that because I have Jesus. I have spent many hours crying because my heart hurts soo much. Jesus is breaking me, and it hurts. badly. but it's making me grow more in Him.
I have started to feel things and have things come back that Jesus wanted me to give Him. Team has been so encouraging and so supportive of me and I love them all very dearly...I have a lot of things to still learn and grow from.. There have been a lot of things that make me stop and think and reevaluate the way I live. I love living with my roommates!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this coming week is Spring Break and I have the opportunity to go on my first Spring Break short mission trip. I am incredibly excited but scared at the same time...I think that God is going to do big things on this trip and I'm excited to see what happens and I will update when I get home...
So here is a song that my sister sent me and that's why I titled it You Love Me Anyway

Jesus, Break Me please :'(
Jesus? Are you there? I'm so stressed out!!!!!
Life was going relatively well..at least for a while. Then I made a bad decision, which has taken me away from my Sweet Jesus :'(!! How can I keep going when all I seem to do is cause pain and heartache for people??
I've been working on plans to move to CO where God and Jesus are directing my path, so that I can grow more in them and run hard for them. So I can be in continuous fellowship with other believers. I was blessed with a job on Sept 20, 2010,,and then lost my job this past Saturday Dec. 4th. I was so dependent on that job considering I hadn't had a job n 13 mths. I was so upset and so distraught I honestly thought that I was alone yet agin...
I know I'm not the best person, but I'm trying. For the last few days, I have been doing a lot of praying and crying. I haven't put my trust where in needs to be...JESUS! I've been so anxious about everything and I know I'm not supposed to because Philippians 4:7 says do not be anxious.
I feel like a FAILURE and have wanted to crawl in a hole and die...I've been sooo occupied with myself...sick...sick...SICK!!!!! I so want to be in a relationship wit the guy I'm eventually gonna marry, and I ask about it constantly...when in reality I need to love Jesus more!! That's one reason why CO is a great opportunity for me!!
I'm going to grow more in my relationship, grow more in fellowship, to jst be able to run hard with other believers, and to use my heart, and my love for people to help the team. It was one long hard year and I know Tht God is using my life majorly..SO WHY CAN'T I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE?!?!!
Noralyn Petrea Cook, you need to stop letting Satan control your emotions and your life!!!! Live your life glorifying God and Jesus!!!!! I only want to be soo broken and so n love with my Savior who thought of me and you on that cross!!! I want to be so on fire that everyone will know who has made me life better.
I mean, right now, I'm worried I won't get a job to pay rent or pay for anything... :'( I dont want my dad to disown me if I ruin his credit score...I want to be able to do it all on my own. I want to not have to depend on anyone :'( I want to be someone people can be proud of...I want to always encourage others...
Jesus, help me to claim your Truth and your Power in me..help me to be a better person...help me to trust you in finding a job and earning enough money to support myself....JESUS BREAK ME....PLEASE SHOW ME HOW TO ALWAYS TRUST YOU AND YOUR WORD...HELP ME TO KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME SOO UNCONDITIONALLY THAT THE LOVE WILL SHOW THRU TO OTHERS!!!!!!!

Bible verses that are encouraging :)
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile." " --Jeremiah 29:11-14
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." --Psalm 37:4
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." --Psalm 119:105
"My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." --Psalm 121:2
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love; for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." --Psalm 143:8-10
the whole chapter of Psalm 139 and also Psalm 145
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it it not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." --1 Corinthians 13:4-8 :) Reminds me of the song, Love Never Fails by Brandon Heath :)
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wing like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." --Isaiah 40:28-31
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." --Isaiah 41:10
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will sau it again: Rejoice!" --Philippians 4:4
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." --Philippians 4:6
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." --Philippians 4:8
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." --Philippians 4:13
"This is what the LORD says-your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go." " --Isaiah 48:17
"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust-there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace. For men are not cast off, by the LORD forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." --Lamentations 2:21-33
Goodness, I love my bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would never believe that this bible is almost a yr old..haha its pink...which I love :) I also love the promises for my life that I can find in here.. :) Honestly, I could go on and on with bible verses I've found or read.... God is sooo great and glorious! I love God and I love Jesus :) <3 <3
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." --Psalm 37:4

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love; for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground." --Psalm 143:8-10
the whole chapter of Psalm 139 and also Psalm 145
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it it not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." --1 Corinthians 13:4-8 :) Reminds me of the song, Love Never Fails by Brandon Heath :)
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wing like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." --Isaiah 40:28-31
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." --Isaiah 41:10
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will sau it again: Rejoice!" --Philippians 4:4
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." --Philippians 4:6
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." --Philippians 4:8
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." --Philippians 4:13
"This is what the LORD says-your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go." " --Isaiah 48:17
"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust-there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace. For men are not cast off, by the LORD forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." --Lamentations 2:21-33
