So im going to be honest…for a while i havent felt like my devotions have been very productive. I mean, it just felt like it had become another thing to check of the to-do list. And i hated that. Thats not what a relationship is about is it? I have such a desire to be [...]

I recently got a WFC staff email from our missions pastor. In that email, he said this:
“A friend recently wrote: ‘Faith doesn’t begin until you have to have God come through for you, you don’t need faith for what you can do, you need faith for what you cannot do. Then you are living in [...]
Black box

A thought that was discussed in last sunday’s sermon still has me thinking:
What if I had a black box in my heart?
You know…like a black box in a plane that emergency crews pull out of the wreckage of a plane. It has a detailed account of the errors in the plane’s system that ultimately led [...]

A few months ago i ran across the blog space of a good friend and incredible mentor, megan, and i happened to read this in one of her entries:
I guess when I said I wanted to live life like an adventure, I sure got it. With scary twists and turns and dark paths and fun meadows [...]

Last night at Thirst (our high school youth group) I heard grace explained in a whole new way. Megan was talking through the song “saving grace” and just saying how much she is drawn to the song…and she started saying “we can work and work and work and do everything right, yet we’re still NEVER [...]

I’m not sure i really have words to explain this video. You’ll just have to watch it for yourself.
Thank you, God, for fighting the battle for me. Thank you for teaching me to dance in your grace and your strength once again. Thank you for stripping me of my darkness, thank [...]
Saying goodbye to structure.
Posted in Uncategorized on August 27, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve decided that I’m going to try out this semester without structure. Here’s my reasoning: I hate structure…I am much more a free spirit and love spontaneity, and structure makes me feel trapped. Every school year the same thing happens…I get into this structured mindset, I buy all of these folders and planners and calendars and [...]

Tonight my family and i walked down memory lane as we discussed so many great things from our childhood. These are some amazing things that I get so excited about when i remember them. Most of these are probably unknown to the majority of the world…but so many amazing childhood memories were comprised of these [...]

it was a pretty creative evening for me. My great friend Crystal gave me this WONDERFUL gift of the East Village Opera Company CD from itunes today, and even though i cant understand a word, each note, each beat, each melody moves me deep in my soul. Its crazy. She had me listen to a [...]
