October 2013

Hey there,
So it's been like two months since I have updated this so I'll try an keep it short and sweet. Key word "try."
So, STP was super sweet and challenging I came away from that week, feeling overwhelmed and challenged from Gods word more than I thought I would be from the start. Truly grasping what it meant to consider others, work together in a team, and ultimately what Gods word had to say about my standing and identity in Christ. So with that said I was given a leadership role of being an RA (Resident Assistant) I have three girls in my dorm an I am so blessed to be apart of their lives.

I have been attending Rives Baptist Church, since the beginning of the summer and have really enjoyed it. I am involved in the youth group there which these kids are super awesome! Please be praying for me as I contained to invest in their lives and grow in our friendships.

Classes, oh boy can I just say one book and let you think, "ROMANS" must I say any more! Yeah seriously though I have been stretched and challenged so much in my walk with The Lord and my thinking, sometimes I get discouraged and other times I am encouraged funny how Gods word can do that ahh!

Ok so every other week I get to meet with my this stellar lady Martha Conard, she is my dean and what I am so thankful for and blessed to have in my life, we get to just chat about life and Gods word, what it looks like in our lives, struggles anything and I value her input so much, as well with other deans and staff I talk to on a regular bases. I am also in a discipleship program where I meet every week with Tamara Mathew, she is a blessing as well I love being involved in her life and the lives of her children. Please pray for growth in both relationships. I value these ladies so much, pray also for the other staff as well.

Well that's about it I'll leave you with, please continue to pray for me, I am thinking a lot about what next semester and summer may look like I'll fill you in hopefully around December.

Oh and that spoken word I been promising here is a little taste:

See we where the sheep that put him on a crucifix to fix a death that we clearly were dismissed from, as we labor in sin. He took our shift with holes made in his wrists as our spots were switched and death swung a haymaker that completely missed, because my God is like Muhammad Ali in the ring with the grace of a butterfly and the sovereignty of a King he dodges every cold single sting of death with the very same breath that put life in side our chest. So if you call the gospel trash than I guess you have grasped the message cause my God dumpster dives head first into wreckage, he transforms recycled sinners into his very own reflection so you can call my him a garbage man cause He turned my mess into a message.
Luke 15:4
