What’s up PEOPLE!?!?! Today I am going to be reflecting on my fall break. It was super hectic and crazy busy, but really good at the same time. My fall break consisted of a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I stayed home the Monday after because I had some very important appointments that I couldn’t miss.
On the afternoon of Wednesday October 16, my best friend Alexis, her mom, and I ventured home to Nashville. This car ride was full of singing, conversations, and laughter. That Wednesday was Bible Study night, so I was able to great some of my church family. I stayed for bible study. After bible study my mom and I went home, which is literally across the grass, and I went straight to bed. That whole weekend consisted of running around visiting a member of the church who was really sick, getting my car from the shop, and sending in my paperwork for my passport. I didn’t get to rest much, but my mom let me sleep in as long as I possibly could because she knew how tired I was. It was really nice to just sleep for as long as I wanted. I have forgotten how important rest is, and that has caused me to become really sluggish and lazy. One of the biggest things that came out of my fall break was I GOT MY CAR! His name is Hobi the Honda. He is named after Jung Hoseok of BTS, aka my favorite band in the world. Hoseok is known as the sunshine of the group and he is always bringing light and positivity to the group and the world. I have been told that I am equivalent to the sun in personality. I wanted Hobi to be an extension of myself, and I want it to be a safe and fun place that lifts people out of their bad moods and brings a little joy into their lives. I drove home Monday afternoon in the pouring rain. My GPS took me through backroads, up and down TWO MOUNTAINS, but I completely bypassed Chattanooga so that was awesome! My drive consisted of talks with myself and tons of music. It was a really nice time to motivate myself for this next part of the semester. So that’s about it for my Fall Break. It was eventful and uneventful at the same time. It was also super weird and cool to be back home after being gone for two months. Right now I am very stressed about all of my assignments, so that is why I have been a little MIA lately. I am going to try to be more active on here and on my social media. Next week I will do an introduction post to a week-long fast I am going to participate in. I think that is all for now! I hope all of you guys have a FANTASTIC day/ week! PS! I HAVE MERCH! GO ORDER SOME! Follow me on Insta @noelle_janae

HELLO PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET! I am back with a VERY exciting story. On October 6, EVS sang with Travis Greene at Lee U UChurch. There are so many words that I could say about this, but I shall tell you guys the story.
The way this whole thing came about was that Travis’ people contacted EVS asking if we could sing with Travis. Of course we immediately said yes, and they sent us the arrangement of the song and what color they wanted us to wear, which by the way was ALL WHITE! Let me go on a little rabbit trail. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET ALL WHITE AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR?!?! The summer sales are over, Labor Day has already passed, and Fall colors are IN! I digress, but it was still super hard to find clothes. The day of the concert was super hectic for us. EVS had a performance at a church in town which was super convenient. We finished the service at 1:30 (I think), and we had to be back at Conn Center by 2. The church graciously put our food in to-go boxes, and we were on our way back to campus. When we got back we ate in the Conn Center. We were supposed to have a 2 pm sound check, but we didn’t get to soundcheck till 5 pm. It was a very good rehearsal, and we got everything nearly perfect in a short amount of time. After that we went and got dressed before our call time at 7:15. We were the second song, so we went and stood backstage before the concert started. I was on the side where Travis was gonna walk out, so all of the people on that side of the stage gave him high fives as he walked on stage. The second we walked on stage the whole crowd erupted. We sang the new Intentional remix that has only been performed one other time. I will never forget the feeling of being on stage. After we performed we yeeted ourselves backstage, and went into the mosh pit. Travis put on a FANTASTIC concerts. It was one of the best that I have been too. After the concert, EVS got some pictures with Travis. Some of us hung out with his band after the concert and while the crew was tearing down the gear, and it was so much fun. They are some of the nicest guys I have ever met. I lowkey miss them. I think that is all for now! I hope all of you guys have a FANTASTIC day/ week! PS: I HAVE MERCH! GO ORDER SOME! Follow me on Insta @noelle_janae Hey guys! Today I will be answering a question that, in the beginning I thought I knew the answer to, but now I’m not too sure. Let me give you some background. I have been in the Church of God of Prophecy since I was about 9. I always thought I was going to stay in COGOP for the rest of my life.
In my last year of high school, I had so many people ask me where I was going to go to church, and my immediate answer was Keith St. It was the most obvious answer I could give. My family has been going to that church since forever, but I never fully thought through my decision. There was a big problem with that idea. I don’t have a car, yet. I never expected to get into EVS, but God was like “HERE’S A VERY OBVIOUS DOOR I WANT YOU TO WALK THROUGH!” I’m in church every Sunday, but not at the church I was originally going to go too. I’m very blessed that I get to travel around with my EVS family though. I have joined a youth group. The Gathering has changed my life and it has given me some life long friends. It is the youth group at North Cleveland COG. They meet Thursday nights, and that is perfect because I can’t go to church on Wednesdays because I don’t have a ride and I’m usually covered in homework. The Gathering has been so influential in my life already, and I love my G fam SO MUCH! I love the heart behind the ministry because it’s all about getting people to Jesus. Go follow their Insta @thegatheringg because it’s FIRE!! I have also joined the Delight chapter at Lee. It has been SO AWESOME to be surrounded by Christ like women. I love my Delight Girls SO SO MUCH! Go follow the chapter on Insta @delight_leeu. So that’s where I’m at church wise. I actually love my situation right now because I feel like I’m being supported and encouraged in my walk with God. Before I sign off, I just want to say a couple of things. MERCH IS STILL ON SALE! It’s some GOOD STUFF! Also follow me on Insta @noelle_janae. I think that’s it, so have a GREAT week! GOOOOODDDDDBYEEEEEE!!!!! |
I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved. -Romans 9:25
