Sometimes I think that I am not a good follower of Jesus. I mean I love the Lord and want to serve Him but sometimes I just don't think I am good example. I am a very impatient person. And I find that God wants me to wait a lot of times. And this really only frustrates me even more. Another thing is I really dislike pain and suffering. When I am put into situations that I potentially hurt me I usually kick and scream trying to get my way out. It's really not a pretty site. Oh oh and I am selfish.. I usually want things my way or it's not good enough. And I struggle with bitterness and being angry and I find myself being so uncompassionate. And I wonder am I really following Jesus?
Then the other day one of my really good friends told me that on one of her blogs that they had a place for heros and I was hers. And I was really taken by surprise. Somehow I had tricked someone into believing that I was so good that I was "hero" status. How had she not seen through me? This girl knew my flaws and still thought I was good. Then I realized that God somehow shows Himself through me. Those times in my life where I think back to conversations that I have had with people and I think, "Wow where in the heck did that advice come from," or the times I get a sense to call someone or pray for them. God is constantly working on me and making me a better follower. So I am really not a hero at all really my personality at the core is kinda gross. I still struggle with the things listed in the first paragraph and unfortunately might always struggle but luckily God's grace covers me.
So here's to following someone who has enough grace to cover me and let others see His goodness through me without it I would be quite ugly.

| Awkward...So last week for my job I went to a counting crows concert and passed out condoms. All I can say is that was an interesting experience. I am having many interesting experiences with my job but I will tell you one thing I love it! I love helping people and I am so so glad I have this job. It rocks!
Oh I got a cat.. I mean I thought I hated cats but apparentlty some KICK butt. He is a resuce cat and he was in bad shape when I picked him up from the resuce shelter but I love him. His name is Boonedock Saint.. boonedock for short. He's named after the movie becuase he's tough.
um what else.. what else... oh well Amy and I are doing our first UAB XA small group tonight! AAhh I hope it goes well. I mean I know it will but I don't know how many people will show up. But I am so glad I was given the chance to do something like this because I really think it was something I was born to do. Ok well this is a kinda boring and random post but I wanted to update. Oh yeah and Meggie is coming this weekend.. I'm excited!!!
Ok peace.

| OK so I got a new job!! At AIDS Alabama. I am helping people that are HIV+ and homeless find homes to live in. And also help people with AIDS... I start in a couple of weeks. I'm really really excited. The cool thing is the night before I was asking God why I am in B'ham for this year. And then I got the job the next day!! Anyways my life has been going pretty fast this summer. Its been good and bad. I miss Auburn but am excited about living in Birmingham. I miss my old friends but also am excited to make new ones. I guess its all kinda bitter sweet.
But I hope everyone is well and doing good! Love and peace. -Kfly | | |
| Hello everyone... well I just moved in to my new place in Birmingham with Amy Voss. We have both been really busy but hopefully things will slow down a little bit next week. I got a job with an international student exchange program and will be flying to New York tomorrow morning for training!!! I am really excited.. it should be fun to do something new. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Bye!! | | |
| Hey well I haven't updated in forever but I recently wrote some stuff about my experience at Auburn and Chi Alpha and stuff. While some of it I don't really want to share.. I'll post the first paragraph for y'all to enjoy. I'm moving to B'ham on May 15th!! I am ready for change...
It is hard to summarize my experience with XA over the past five years. Thinking back to my freshman year it’s hard to even see the old person that I used to be. So many things have happened to me since then that have completely changed my life forever.
I don’t even know the person that I was five years ago. This is what I do know and what will always be with me: It’s been an adventure that I hope will continue for the rest of my life. God has taught me so much, some of it has been fun and loving while other lessons have really really sucked but I know it has all been to mold me into what God wants me to be. It’s funny though, I feel like I am just as open to change now as when I was a freshman… like I am nowhere near to the person I am suppose to become. I almost feel like my time here has just prepared me to be able to keep changing even more, by God’s grace, and then continue to change in the next five years and so on.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
