You know what? It feels like I have a mountain of things on my plate right now. There are so many things that I need to work on, so many things that I would like to fix, to change, so many things that I need to do, so many things that I want to start; and you would think that I would be overly stressed out. That I would be going insane with all ( Read more... )

Do you ever get the feeling that nothing is paying off. This was not how I imagined this year. There are things that are better, and somethings that I wish were better. I wonder if psychologists can figure this one out. My brain is a wreck. I wonder why I get so frustrated with myself sometimes. Do I think too much about volleyball? Seriously ( Read more... )

So I found my grandmother's and aunt's CD that they made before my aunt passed away last year. So beautiful! I'm so glad that I have an adoration of classical/operareta music. I love it!

Thats it for now. Have to go to work...

One thing I learned about myself up at the College Briefing is how unsure I am; unsure about what my future holds for me. I really don't know what I want to do, what my passion is, what God wants me to do for his kingdom. All my life I've only known school, studying, and sports. Its a weird and scary thought that I'm going to be working all my ( Read more... )

Forest Home...an amazing journey...an amazing time to think...an amazing time to bond...and amazing time to have God speak and lead and teach. I have so many thoughts and emotions that it would take forever to write all of them down....so maybe they will come in time. But for now...just a verse ( Read more... )

Its funny how this year has gone by so slowly. These past few months have dragged on like maple sap on a tree. God has really been working in me and has been revealing himself to me in strange, but amazing ways. You can never really see the extent of His work in you unless you look back upon those hard times in life, and see how much you have ( Read more... )

 When you are on the mountaintop, it’s easy to say, "Oh yes, I believe God can do it," but you have to come down from the mountain to the demon-possessed valley and face the realities that scoff at your Mount-of-Transfiguration belief. Every time my theology becomes clear to my own mind, I encounter something that contradicts it. When my strength ( Read more... )

So wow! first of all, just wow! I can't believe the way God is just working within our volleyball team.  We had a team BBQ today at 4 and it was just so cool to get to know everybody more.  But the raddest thing was that the church Rock Harbor came up and Caitlin, one of our setters, said that they had Sunday night service and five of us decided to ( Read more... )

The truth is that love is hard. Its hard to give out your heart to somebody in hopes that they won't break it, in hopes that they won't expose its secrets, in hopes that they won't toss it aside. Its hard to continue to pour out your heart to people when you feel like its been hurt too much, like it has nothing left to give. Its hard to take a ( Read more... )
