how great

howdy

it's been so amazing these past few weeks. a lots been changing.

the faithfulness of God is soooooooooooooooo what you expect but never see it coming. even though you should.

keep praying my friends. i was so unsure about my trip and in just one night, God provided 193 dollars. It's going to keep happening, and I am so excited to see God move.

Speaking of, I bought my ticket to London today! I have a layover in Iceland for NINE hours. What am I going to do for nine hours?


I guess we'll find out. This is going to be so interesting, and I will keep anyone who reads this updated as the times go on.

he cannot deny himself

I watch tv.

For the heck of it, to feel emotion sometimes, and always to get through my workouts at the gym. TV is sort of a release from reality and it's always the best to watch and see how a character grows.

I also love TV because it is so good to see people live life together. To spend time and to depend on each other. Life is special and the people we share it with can really make it or break it for some of us.

These people live life together. They have spent years together. Laughing, living, crying, relationships and even anger.

It's BEAUTIFUL.

Now, here I am. I always relate life back to these shows. This crap is fake and it is not real. However, deep down, the truth is that I am close to these shows more than I realize.

Raising support for my trip has proved that, because there comes a time when I realize that people will support missions when they know someone and even when they don't. In this 'family' that I have, we are so big and we support each other in an even bigger way. I love it.

God has been so good and so faithful. In a matter of 1.5 hours, I raised 193 dollars! By three random people that I was not expecting anything from.

On a note so spiritual note, I have friends that I can go to places with, guys and girls, and just talk. Randomly, seriously, jokingly, awesomingely, spyingly (that one doesn't make so much sense).


Life is meant to live in community. So go live it.

the great danger

I'm sorry.
This is my sorry for... 2004. I mean 2013. For my attitude and my life.

You see, sometimes I get into this mind set and I feel there is a lot against me. I feel left out, lonely and it's stupid. It is all stupid. I then take it out on my closest friends, and it is not healthy. I want to be better and I want to show love and conquer set backs and strongholds on my life.

I know that no one really reads this blog, but I feel as though I need to just say it. It is hard for me to be honest like this and to show my weakness.

Mumford says it best when they say, "My weakness I feel I must finally show." (oybbaby)

There are ways to get over this though.
1. Be set in truth. THE truth. The only thing that has been spoken and the only thing that will stand firm in life. John 6:37 says, "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out." There are so many truths that I need to set and focus my mind on.
2. Going beyond and above and really making an effort to not be cynical when it is time. There is only one way to get over this, and that is by doing it. I can talk to I'm BLUE in the face, but use is that if there is no fruit to bear.


Here's to life and here's to (the time we have left in) Lynchburg.

shoulda been more smart about it

Lent.
I'm not Catholic, but I'm doing Lent. I'm really excited about it.

I am not eating cookies or icecream or candy, not even lollis! It's a sad day when you don't eat lollis!

I can only have the original tart at fro-yo places with fruit toppings and peanut butter.


I work out six days a week. I bought new clothes today.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii

am excited.

afterall

Here is the world.

Here is a group of people from the world.

Here is the world. Again.

This is me.

I can't change anyone in this world. I can only change myself.

ever praise

sometimes God calls us to do outrageous things, and we'll never fully understand it. that is why i'm in so much school debt, i don't understand it but God has called me to a certain field and it'll be okay.


and that's a fact.

Way too much coffee. But if it weren't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever.

Bloggers! Bloggets!

It's time you knew, it's time you understood.

I'm going on a missions trip! I'm poor and can't afford it on my own, but God will provide!
I'm going to England and Holland. I'm spending two weeks in each country and I am going to help with ministry toward the Hindu population that lives there. It is going to be such an experience! I'm getting my passport this month and I've started to raise support already. I pray on the reg and I hope that God will really bless me and the others that I come in counter with.

I'll tell you about it more, later
