LOOK TO THE RIGHT!!
There are some new photos up from this past weekend! Enjoy some are artsy and to be honest i took none of them! haha
A run down of the last few weeks!
I am sorry it has been so long...My life has been crazy and for some reason writing is the first to go, sadly it should prob. be the first to stay (I am working on that)
SO MUCH TO SAY!! ARE YOU READY
Coffee Shops
LAst Saturday i sat with good friends and listen to a guy playing the guitar and watched as my artsy friends pulled out crayons and cameras and did what they do best...So I pulled out my journal and reflected on the moment at hand...here it is
Sitting face down at a table with Africa and coffee beans looking back up at me...Life...friends, coffee shop but no coffee and live muscic.
Good and peace - Life and love
Meaning - life has so many meanings but i do believe this type of experience is one of them, heart being shown through string on a guitar and words from the heart, friends some i have seen all day, one not since coffee yesterday and last one who gave up a few remaining hours of snowboarding to listen and hang to a familiar voice - meaning
it is not edited just raw writing...kinda of random but where i was right then
LOVE
This word has been my life these past few weeks. I was reading in my bible study and beth (moore that is but at times i fell like we are true friends so we are on a first name bases) was asking us to read Phil 4:13...now i know that all scripture is important but man talk about a verse that is mis quoted and over used. So with hesitation i read the verse that i know by heart but just to make sure i read and then thought. That is what beth asked us to do this day...read and reflect. So as i sat having just read about love and how through pain love is still there, we dont love on our own and that love is from the LOrd, i pondered on these words
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength"
And this is what i came up with -- all these years i have given that verse to sports, to hard times, to trails i thought i could never get through but never to the fact that the God who created this world who made me and created me just the way he wanted gives me strength in all situations. As i thought through that i thought...man that means all the people i think i can not love or the ones who have hurt me and i run from (bc if you know i have a tenancy to run instead of working through) I can LOVE and not because i am so great and have so much love to offer but rather because GOd is so great and allowing him to love me allows me to love others and through his love I can LOVE everyone that enters my path I call life. WHy because I can do everything through him who gives me strength,so as long as I rely on God for strength and not myself i can love people!
freedom was found in this thgouht process.
I know it has been some crazy weeks...some fun facts
1. i went to a WSU basketball game and will be going to another one on saturday!! (THANK YOU RONNIE FOR FREE TICKETS)
2. Rachel is coming in town in two weeks
3. I handed out pb-n-j and now fell like a pro at passing things out to people who may or may not want them
4. I filled out an application to work with lifeway this summer...i really hope that works out..it is for womans ministry (which is where my heart is), i am waiting for a reply, i know God is up to something good so please keep that in mind when you pray for me
5. Resonate is going well, i am meeting knew people and the two small groups i help with are doing well. GOd is moving up here and i am glad to be apart of it.
6. Me and kristin (one of the interns) have started to hang out on campus on tuesdays and meeting random people and hoping to make connections with people as well as hanging out with friends that i see on sunday night! It is going well so far, please pray that our hours are fruitful.

Life in the fast Lane
who knew time could go by so fast. I think back and the week is just a blur in time. As I sit in a coffee shop my pray is that I completed the task at hand for last week, that my time here is being used to the fullest and you know I can actually say YES! I am doing what God is calling me to.
Last night Matthew talked on discovering GOd and self and how it is this on going process of learning who God is which opens doors to who you are and then back to God and this never ending cycle.
What joy is found in this cycle. what a wonderful journey to be apart of.
COFFEE
Tall White mocha with Whip (extra hot...depending on when i am going to drink it)
Chi...Black...I Like caffeine
WHO knew that those small words could hold so much weight in the world. Well, to today i will say them about three times, or at least have the opportunity to say them (self control means not getting coffee at every coffee date).
I am in awe of God right now. I had breakfast with two amazing girls and watching God use them in their sorority. I then went to coffee with April and God just speaks to me when we meet. April is the wife of the moscow site pastor and she is also my personal mentor! God is teaching me so much in our time together. Right now we are working on allowing me to be loved and loving others. GOd is up to something good! Then went instead of a coffe house went to an apartment and wrote down goals, i am about to go meet with a girl just to talk about life!
All this before 400! MAN OH MAN, keep praying, GOd is using the people he has placed here and i know he is working in the lives of those around me. Pray that i be used to bring him glory.
JUst thought i would give yall a little insight into my life right now! hope your week is going well. let me know!!
