Intimacy with God has been the greatest cry of my heart for quite a while now. I thirst for it. I beg for it. I cannot settle for life without it. And nothing drives me more crazy than when it looks like God isn't close. Nothing makes me more angry with Him than my unfulfilled passion to be intimate with Him. He seems so elusive sometimes. Like i' ( Read more... )

We're buying our airline tickets real soon, which is a leap of faith since we aren't even close to having all the funds yet. But God will

To day has been a good day. I didn't have any plans, so i woke up and told God this day was totally His. He told me He just wanted to spend time with me. I love my Dad. Plus, i've totally been into the minor prophets lately! I never realized how awesome those books are! Amos rocks my socks off.

I've been trying so stinking hard to save as much money as i can to put toward Uganda. Yet... this past month i spent more than i made.

I finally sent out my support letters today.
I'm trying to not let myself be discouraged about the fact that people don't seem very excited about me going to Uganda. 
It's also discouraging to think about how hard it's turning out to be to raise the money. But i'm trusting God to provide a way.

Pray for the people to whom i sent letters. Pray that ( Read more... )

It was amazing.
We laughed, we cried...

My laptop has lots and lots of really bad nasties.
It may be out of commission for a while. Maybe forever.

Can someone please get me out of my life?

My car insurance won't cover anything. My car is still broken, and accruing more fees the longer it's held.

The police think i lied. I could be arrested because filing a false police report is a felony.

A rock hit the windshield of my rental car. I have to pay to fix it and pay an extra fee because the car ( Read more... )
