| Well, i know i haven't posted on here in FOREVER...but for anyone who is interested, i've graduated to myspace...my site is www.myspace.com/a4givn1. So, feel free to drop by. I've missed too many of you for far too long! | | |
| So I’ve been home for 5 days now…ridiculous! In so many ways I feel like I’ve completely outgrown “home.” In so many other ways I still feel like a little child. That doesn’t make sense! Of course, what would life be if it made sense? Only He can make sense of it. I’m glad of that. If it made sense to me, I wouldn’t need to rely on Him. How terrible that would be?! I’m scared to think of what life would be like if I got to call all the shots and make everything fit my plans. I love that He knows everything. I love that yesterday, today, and tomorrow are all the same to Him.
I miss so many people right now! I’ll get to see many of you this weekend…GET EXCITED…I know I am!! To everyone I miss whom I won’t get to see this weekend (or anytime soon, for that matter): please know that I’m terrible about calling people but I still love you dearly!
Do you ever just not have words? I’ve learned a lot about being silent lately. Turns out I’m not that great at it! Who knew?
I had a weird dream last night. It was one of those that lingers on in your head all day…I just can’t shake it for some reason. Hmm…
I hope that you have all had great weeks so far! Be encouraged in the fact that you are never alone…even though it may feel like it sometimes. He is right there with you. He cares about every (EVERY) detail of your life. He, the creator of EVERYTHING, knows your hurts and He knows what pit you’re in. He wants to help you out. Let Him.

Wow. No Xanga post can do justice to what has been going on in my heart lately! Sometimes there just aren’t words to describe the…well, indescribable. All I can say is that our God is so much bigger than we will ever know. I couldn’t be more thankful for everything He’s done. I have learned so much about His character these past four days. He used some amazing children of His to bless the lives of thousands at passion this week. The reality of who He is blows me away…and that’s just the reality that I know of. I’m so thankful for the way He speaks to me. He uses everything in our lives for His glory if we let Him. Piper described God’s grace as “totally undeserved favor flowing to sinners.” FLOW BABY FLOW! I’ll never deserve anything good...especially from God…but I’ll always be grateful for every blessing. Friends, thank you for real conversations. Father, thank You for real friends. I love You.
For anyone who is in a pit:
There are 3 ways into one
1. We can be thrown in
2. We can slip in
3. We can jump in
There are 2 things true of every pit:
1. We can get out
2. We cannot get ourselves out
Our Father doesn’t want us in a pit regardless of how we got there. He is ready and willing to help us out. Thanks, Beth.
Psalm 40: 1-8
Ok, I could go on forever about all the things He said to me this week. I’ll leave you with this thought…
We glorify whatever it is we are most satisfied in. He hit me pretty hard with that. I hope He uses it in you, too.
Praise Him regardless of your circumstance! For He alone is good.

| ahhh....xanga...'tis good to see you again. i hope that the summer has been going great for all of you. mine has been wonderful so far! i love my job and i have gotten to make a lot of new friends this summer. they will never compare to my old friends, of course (shout outs to MELANI ANN BRIDGES, MEREDITH LAYNE GROOMS & MEREDITH LEIGH WILSON...and the rest of the obu crew).
i'm in arkadelphia right now...some of my friends and i decided to have a mini-reunion this weekend. GOOD TIMES!! i think i'm moving in on august 13th and i am SUPER excited. i miss being w/my friends from down here. it's gonna be a sad day when i graduate. i'm anxious to see what plans God has for my life in the future...i think i've become too comfortable with being here and it's time for me to let Him make a change...i'm a little hesitant, though. i don't want to grow up!!! it's all good, though. b/c He has the plan...it's like driving, kind of. i trust Him to be my traffic lights and road signs. maybe that's a goofy analogy, but it works, right?
i've learned a lot this summer...life continues to surprise me. know that i love and miss all of you who are reading this and i look forward to seeing and talking with each one of you! thank you for all of your comments!
'til next time...
oh, and the edge conference is at 6:30 tomorrow (sunday) night at the summit...be there!!! | | |
| if you're reading this...I MISS YOU!!!!!
(p.s...don't you love the weird little voice in that song?) | | |
