| it has definitely been an interesting week for me. as i continue to grow and be broken i find myself feeling empty at times. i know brokenness means emptying out the things you dont need in your life and your heart, but it doesnt seem rational. shouldnt i feel more fulfilled when i know that i am in the process of being cleaned of what i dont need in my life? if i have been acting slightly "weird" meaning less energized or talketive or just plain crazy for that matter, this would be why. i have so many deep thoughts and questions and emotions flowing through me that it takes up alot of my energy and brain power. i want more of God and i want him to take my life and mold it into what it should be, but that leaves me with what? nothing. nothing to control, nothing to be incharge of, nothing to be prideful of. and that is difficult for me because my personality is exactly the opposite of that state. i wish being a Christian, meaning a disciple, a follower of Christ was easier. if it were easier everyone would do it though...why me? why did God choose me to be on this path of life? why did God elect me to follow him and partake in ministry? | | |
| what an amazing day it was today! God was speaking to me literally in every one of my classes. I was brought to tears in New Testament due to the realization that just because I call myself a Christian that doesnt mean that I am following Christ. I know that I try everyday to surrender my life completely to him so that his will becomes my will and that he will be the number one priority on my list. that is so hard to do, but something that is necessary in order for me to walk with the Lord. In chapel, i was completely humbled by the Holy Spirit. My heart was being broken for the youth that are hungry for the Word of God and to learn about his love, but no one is teaching them. No one asks the bottom line questions that will convict and save. They desperately want someone to challenge them and make them think. They don't want things handed to them on a silver platter, they want something stimulating and exciting...what is more exciting than hearing about the grace and forgiveness of God? God has placed a burden on my heart for high school students and today that burden was placed a little heavier. I am so thrilled that God has chosen me to bring His Word to a group of youth and show them Christ reflected in my life. It is a gigantimus responsibility, but I have the confidence from the Spirit and the perseverance of the runner running the race. I will finish strong. | | |
| i have started Jan-term and i love Dr. Hunter!! he is so fun. i'm just glad that he is laid back and energized because sitting in class all day honestly isnt that exciting.
alot has happened and i am so pumped up to see how God works in my life this semester! ahhhh.....God is so spontaneous and i love it- well most of the time! there is always something new and something better than i had originally planned for. amen that i am not God! so we shall see what suprises lie ahead in the days and months to come! | | |
| i am sitting at the computer talking with adam and david in the room....actually they are talking about sex...enough said.
me, adam and david went to chili's tonight and we told them it was my
birthday so we got a free milkshake! yes, it is lying...but david (also
known as the lying minister) actually did the lying part. now adam is riding on
the stationary bike...oh boy howdy!
well i think i shall leave because this is going downhill......

| i
cannot get my cell phone to function all the time consistently. i think
i need a new one- so i cannot call anyone or anything unless my phone
decides to behave. you can surely try to call me...but there is no
guarantee that anything will happen! i love all of yall and i am not
abandoning anyone...i just have no way to contact you except on here-
so Merry Christmas is i dont talk to you before! i love you....
