| wow, i have not written on here in almost forever, lots of things have happened since I last made an entry... well i've had craziness with love relationships this summer and school year, and am kind of apprehensive about going through it all again but I know it's worth it! classes are going well, i have finals all next week, i'm not too stressed about them, but am excited for Christmas. lets see, i have made new friends this semester... i've gotten my nose pierced, cut my hair and dyed it black... you can see pictures on my facebook. I'm excited to where God is taking me right now, learning humility, always learning that, but this is the recent focus. It's awesome! I got to spend Thanksgiving with a good friend of mine and her family, it was in the country (I miss the country) I felt like I was a part of their family, they made me feel so at home! Thanks Joy! I am content with my life right now and am getting a little too comfortable with no crazy changes right now. I am appreciating my family and friends back home more. well, those are the big things that i've learned and recently gone through, and I think one of the most important lessons... don't settle!!!!! (a universal statement: love, relationship with God, friendships, with just passing class, etc.) well that's catch-up. | | |
| Right now I am in the transition of a new chapter in my life… which involves a new roommate…cooking… working with the drama ministry at church… new job… Pharmacology summer class… it’s going to be different, and I don’t know if it’s going to be so much harder as harder in different ways.
I am learning about hungering after God. I learning about this, I have found that it is just that, to hunger after Him. No formulas, no prerequisites… anyone at any time in their walk can accomplish this. Even morning, who are we hungering for? The TV remote, the refrigerator, the internet, books, worship music, people, the Bible… those are ok in moderation compared to hungering after God. In hungering after God, that I when a genuine Christian is shown, that is where we all, as Christians, meet at the same playing field, and need to cry out in one voice in hunger for God… we will such a revival that we cannot comprehend it. To hunger after God is as simple as when we ask what He wants of us today, genuinely mean it… or before we ask God our prayer requests, to spend some time just listening for Him, to be in awe of Him, or solely concentrating on Him… do you know what would happen… I don’t know either because if everybody did that, it would be beyond amazing! I feel like God is impressing on my heart that the revival is near and is ready to poke its head out of the soil… | | |
| You Remain by Jennifer Knapp
Though I am poor and needy My Shelter You'll be Not by my merit lead me To where You say
Waste my time on lover's quarrels Speed my breath and hope to stumble Out of my distrain and still You Remain
My Wall, my Mighty Tower Be my Shadow come cover me Till all my enemies cower Jealous of my King
Though the day be laced with trouble Be the stone o'er which I stumble Straight into the arms and stay Where You Remain
They said to me I would fall by the wayside Answer me now Answer me now
The fatherless we may be weary Be our Peace and do not tarry Wait we will for Your Joy
Be my Portion promised me, o Lord May I be forever Where You Remain Where You remain Where You... Where You remain
God is so faithful in my life... God fulfills my every need, I need more than ever now in my life... it's just a little crazy right now. | | |

Today I just got back from Spring Break in Erie. I had a lot of fun even though it was cold and muddy. I first went to visit my best friend Alicia at Geneva College and that was so exciting seeing her again, it has been so long. It has been really hard being away from everything familiar at home and now that I’m appreciating my family more and…haha… like them more… I miss leaving them. It is alright though because I have amazing friends at Evangel (Danielle, Courtney, and Mindy- they have truly touched my heart and my life!)
Well at Geneva College I hung out with Al and some of her friends, which were all amazing people! [If only it had a better nursing program! =) ] Every evening we did something cool together and we also took goofy pictures of us together on my Facebook. I am just so glad that I got to spend time with her I didn’t care if I had to sit through some classes with her, it was more than worth it!
Then I came back to Erie and helped prepare for Kaley’s bridal shower… that was a little chaotic, but it turned out to be the best shower that I’ve ever been to, I’m not biased either!
And now I am at school, one of my homes… and am excited to get this year over with and move on to the next chapter in my life, summer classes…. | | |
