Ah..Life..
Tweet Ah..Life.. It seems like it’s a never-ending roller-coaster. Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s not. Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of the hill, and sometimes I feel like I’m free-falling. But you know something I have become increasingly thankful for-first of all my relationship with God. He’s always been the solid ground in my life. And my friends who seems to be constant. You know, those people who you can always count on. God has blessed me with several of them, and I am so thankful for them. But He has also shown me that I shouldn’t place my faith in them, because even though it may…

FAITH
Tweet FAITH “Every moment of every minute of every day is to be filtered through the reality that God is ever-present.” -Pastor Doug This morning in chapel Pastor Doug spoke to us about faith. Faith is one of those words you always hear about, but don’t often take the time to figure out what it really means. He said the quote above and it stuck with me. It got me thinking about how different my day would be if that were true of my life. If I lived my life according to that, what would be different about how I viewed my day. The first thing that popped into my…

Right now My Mind is Blank
Tweet Right now My Mind is Blank I decided to write in my blog, but right now my mind is blank. Hopefully soon I will come up with something to write about. well, nothing is coming. Sorry..perhaps this weekend I will have something to write about. I hope you all stay sane in the midst of the huge amounts of homework our teachers have felt impelled to give us lately. I feel your pain, I know how despairing it can be. But take heart, only 3 and 1/2 months left. And I hope, pray that they don’t continue on this rate. Good Luck! Have a great day! Talk soon!

A Little Blessing From God
Tweet A Little Blessing From God.. Tonight we had the Jeff Choirs at our church for a religious arts festival. I went, although at first my soul motive was the fact that I’m in SMITE. However, I am so glad I went. This has perhaps been one of the worst weeks of my life, but last night I sat on my floor and cried out to God..and this morning, I woke up with a peace I haven’t known in a long time. It was as if He was saying..it’s going to be ok, I have a bigger plan for you. We had an amazing church service today, the pastor from…

Philippians
Tweet Philippians 1:27a “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Philippians 2:2-3 “Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility of mind consider others better then yourselves.” I read these verses in my devotions and they were in a sense a slap in the face. I am only held accountable for my actions and only have the power to control what I do and say. Although sometimes, it is necessary to confront, ultimately, I am only accountable to God for my actions.…

Tweet Once upon a time.. In a faraway land, there lived a beautiful princess… blah blah blah..and they lived happily ever after. So begins and ends every fairy tale. I loved these stories when I was younger, I always imagined myself as the beautiful princess, awaiting my knight in shining armor to come carry me away into the most beautiful sunset. At some point when I was younger, a lady came to speak at my old church on this very topic. Well, probably love. But I remember her talking about what happens after the ride into the sunset. My mom bought me her tapes, and she tells you the story…

Be Intolerant
Tweet Be Intolerant Yes, that’s what I said. Be Intolerant. But not only of the things we know are wrong and are convinced we would never do, but of the things that are wrong and we do on a daily basis. Be intolerant of your friends who gossip. Be intolerant of locker-room talk, be intolerant of disrespect. Be intolerant of those who talk after being told not. And make sure you aren’t the one commiting those offenses. I’m reading a book entitled Be Intolerant. And although I go to a Christian school, I have realized how tolerant I am. How little I stand up for what’s right, and how often…

Tweet My mind has been blank as to what to write in my blog lately. Life has taken several unexpected turns and none of them are things which I care to blog about. I thought I would take time to share with you some things God has been teaching me lately..maybe it will be an encouragement to you as well. I think one of the over-riding things God is trying to teach me is just how little I can do on my own. I often try to do everything, and end up depressed and exhausted. Also with smite we are going through the book A Purpose Driven Life. I have…
