So, I moved...
Hey there!
How's it going? It's been quite a while since I really gave an update.
Two weeks and two days ago I arrived in Boston...well, a suburb of it at least.
Since then I have had an interview, two TB tests, and some organic food.
I have built a dresser all by my lonesome, wandered around Harvard, MIT and the Charles River.
I have made my first big subway mistake, a great batch of cookies (with Mel's help), and a new friend or two.
And through it all, I am still convinced that God is more than faithful. He's more than I need. He's also much more detail oriented than I am and I should get over it and let Him do what He does best: create masterpieces.
If I allow it, He will make a masterpiece out of the nearly self-destroyed canvas that I was. I was a real piece of work. So glad He can work a real piece.
Because He's not some high and lofty God that refuses to get His hands dirty. No, he came, and he lived like me. Better yet, He lived without half of the comforts I consider routine. Willingly. And if He can make old school scruffy beard, dirty feet and pierced flesh look good, then my mess should be a cinch. My God gets it because he, literally, got in it. How unorthodox to subject yourself to your own creation. To laws you thought up and set in motion but actually have no power over you unless you allow it. Madness!
I serve a mad, detail-oriented, intensely focused God. He did literally everything I couldn't. Praise God for His provision.
I'm glad He's my Dad.

Refreshed!
I have been refreshed!
During the trip to Boston, I spent more time in my word than I have since. Not a good thing. So, of course, I've been tired. Felt like I was running on E a few times, in sleep, time and emotions.
But, at the ENCM Prayer Meeting from 5:30-6:30, I just focused on who God was, and trying to speak those words out loud (in one language or another).
Actually, I think my refreshing came before then. It was just Brandon and I, Johnny was usually there first, but this time it was the two of us. And it was all God's doing. We got into the room and Brandon asked me how the trip to Boston went. Well, that lead me to say it had been great, which it was. Then he asked me why I had considered moving to Boston, and I told him I hadn't. In my explaining, I told him the story and recounted what I had been going through about the Fishers deuce-ing out. He's such a great listener. I think I may have taken advantage of that, talking longer than my turn should have allowed.
Then he told me about what had been going on with him. As he did, I realized that he had matured while I wasn't looking. That Brandon had grown so much, in a short time, and maybe in ways he hadn't even realized yet. But, he's an awesome kid, and I'm glad God let us know each other.
Having someone to sit and talk with, with no distractions, no danger of interruption, even no action you would rather be performing was beautiful. As we talked, I remember thinking how great it was to just sit and talk with my brother, with no ulterior motives from either of us, to hear and be heard. I love the brotherhood of believers, and I thank all of those who submit and serve it.
Then, we had a great prayer meeting. I pushed for some simplifying, and compromised when Johnny pushed to have some things on the board. He was the spiritual authority at the time, he kind of runs the prayer meetings in lieu of Donny, so I practiced obedience. But, it was great. At the core, from beginning to end, there was me, Brandon, Melanie, Johnny, Laura. Others, Conrad, Dave, Rajat, Amber, Elizabeth, Derek all came and went at different times.
Johnny had all of us take a few minutes (5 he said, but it only felt like 2 at most) and get into God's presence. That was great. I want to practice that more. Of just saying what He is, Him giving me pictures and ideas and words to help me understand that part of Him, and then leaning into Him more and more from there.
Afterward, Dena and I had accountability and she had had a vision for me. It was a flower on a hill, with nothing else around it, almost cartoonish. And there was a bucket watering the flower. She thought it was for her, but the words I told her God said to me confirmed that it was for me, instead. Thanks, Lord.
Anyway, back to the vision. Flower alone on a hill, water bucket watering it. These were the words that were either said of somehow conveyed: I planted you. You're beautiful. I will water you. I will make sure you grow. Don't be scared.
At the end of the prayer meeting, Brandon said that we should all take a minute and see what God had to say to each of us. Here's what I got, and what I told Dena I had heard God say:
Steady.
Sacred.
Safe.
That, I should 'Hold Steady.'
That what we (God and I) had, was sacred.
That I was safe.
What a great evening.
ENCM had more attendees than I expected by a long shot. People filled out their waivers for Campus Harvest. I am able to have great conversations without any feelings or awkwardness with one of my brothers. I'm finally enjoying this stage of life. I have only a little time left. I love this place. And I will miss it dearly.
*Finally, a real blog. Sorry it took me so long.

Oops
So, no real thing to blog about now. I have karate at 7am, and I need to get to bed. I will work on blogging. Don't have my computer right now, so it's hard to keep up with everything. Hope you all are doing fine. Feel free to comment whatever on this blog. Love you all.

Whirlwind
Lately, I feel like everything has been changing around me. There was nothing I could do to alter what was happening. There was nothing I could do to slow any of it down.
Some of the things were: a very sick grandmother (who is still very sick, please pray God's will is done), a 12-page paper, one exam, regular classes, work, the Veritas Forum (behind the scenes and the actual event), trying not to crush on someone, responsibilities of my position in my church, changing my major, planning my summer and fall, my birthday, somewhat arguing with God, struggling to keep my quiet time, comforting a friend, keeping up with people and relationships that are too complex for me...
whew!
I just feel like there was so much going on, and nothing I could do about any of it. There were days in there where I just felt like crying and giving up. I just wanted to say, "Screw it." and let everything play out however. But I didn't. God definitely granted me peace in this whirlwind of events.
I was also on this ridiculous emotional roller coaster. I felt like crying, so many days, on so many occasions, for what seemed like no reason. I would be eating and a sorrow like no other would come on me. I would lose my appetite, tear up. I mean, I don't know where this stuff comes from. I know I have been feeling pretty helpless about my grandmother being sick. I can't be there because I am about 4 1/2 hours away, and can give no comfort but a few phone calls a day. And the only one who really knows what's going on is her, and she's too sick to give specifics.
I just, it's been so crazy for me, and I don't know how to deal with all this stuff, except to trust God. And it was hard. I was getting almost angry with God. I was frustrated, and couldn't let it show because it was no one's fault. I had all these bottled up emotions, and no one to vent them to, no way to legitimize my feelings because I had no idea where they were breaching from in the first place.
It has been such a tough last 2 weeks. While they were filled with joy, I couldn't let myself fall into it completely, because there was so much else that I was thinking on.
It has been a crazy whirlwind of emotions, events, happenings, and news the past few weeks, and I'm not sure how I handled it.
Well, I hope. What do you guys think?

Whew!
What I was faced with today:
Not that great. Some things I took in stride, others not so much. For example, I was not enthused about my conversation with God. And I remember Him saying, "I know this isn't what you want to hear."
All in all, it was an easy day. None of my family died. None of my friends had a crisis. I am healthy. My biggest concern is a simple fix for my God.
Oh, God. Teach me to be thankful. Teach me to approach each day with the attitude of Christ. Help me to be alert and open to lessons and opportunities that you allow to fall into my lap. Thank you for the divine appointments. Thank you for answering my prayer to draw nearer to me. Thank you for the ability to experience Your presence, I welcome your Spirit and a greater sensitivity to the spiritual realm. Help me to be a light to my friends and a friend to the lost. Jesus, continue to convict and change me. I am wholly yours. Do with me as you will. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.
Amen.
- A crying grandmother
- Anger at a family member
- A missed class
- Chalking for the first time!
- Rain
- Chalking getting rained away
- Divine appointments
- Encouragement
- Challenges
- A great lesson on faith
- A stern talking to from God
- An eye-opening quiet time

Lately...
So, this is not a post about my undying lust for a husband. It is, however, about the different feelings I have been going through lately. So, if you like, MEN, stop reading here. I'm gonna get a little transparent.
As Derek has said, it has been the summer of love for ENCM. And I love seeing people get together, I am a sucker for a cute couple. And in no way am I dissatisfied with my King, but my thoughts have wandered a bit, lately.
Previously, I was under the incorrect assumption that you have to be completely satisfied with God before He would put you in a relationship, now I know better. Anyway, on to more important tangents, I have a problem that I will briefly (ha!) share with you.
So, I met a guy over summer who is pretty set on being with me. He has told me, and I quote, "I will wait years, if I have to. I want to call you 'Sweetheart'."
So, only a few problems with that, um, I am not, as far as I see it, in any position to be married, and he, at this point, cannot be my spiritual leader. Another problem, I want to be someone's sweetheart, and I just about melt when he says it. Does he know this, no, but I have told him before to stop calling me anything other than my name, but every once in a while he will anyway. Lastly, it's not that I'm not attracted to the guy, but IF there were a time for us, it is definitely not now.
And another thing, I get hit on... a lot. And not to brag, because it really makes me uncomfortable. No matter where I go, I am sought out and, like, bothered. The only thing I can think of is that they see the Jesus in me and want that love, but I, personally, cannot deliver it.
It's been a while, and I am beginning to learn about myself. I know my weaknesses and desires. I know that someone calling me sweetheart is going to going bad pretty quickly, I also know that certain ways that men touch me will send me reeling. Not in a "head over heels in love with you because you put your arm around my waist". More like in a "I would like my husband to do that", kind of deal.
Whatever, lately, it's just been crazy. I had someone ask me, "As a Christian, do you go through a million changes every day over relationships and stuff?"
And my response was as true as I could make it, "It's not easy, but I know why I'm doing it. But it is a minute by minute battle sometimes, especially when maternal desires are triggered in me. I want to be a good mother, and a good wife, but first I have to be a good daughter. And I remind myself 'God is not keeping me from something, but for something.' "
So, in conclusion of a ramble, lately, a new desire for someone to lay next to at night has been kindled, and I don't know if it's me or God. I know in part that it is my desire. I know that I desire affection that can be returned with a pure heart, and a clean marriage bed. But I also know that I want to do crazy stuff all around the world and the country before I have obligations such as a husband or children. How do I reconcile that with God's time line, which is definitely not my own?
Prayer, please, saints. I love all of you and you are all forever in my prayers. Have a nice night.

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. -Hebrews 13:4
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?-Ecclesiastes 4:11
Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.-Genesis 3:16
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. -Ephesians 5:3
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. -Ephesians 2:10

What's up withchu?
Yo yo yo!
I have lots to tell all of you. So, I'm going to do a very brief synopsis of it all.
Prayer: My prayer life has not been my shining glory lately. It's been pretty good, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I didn't pray for some things that God definitely could have used to build my testimony and show me his great power. My devotional time has been a hard fight, and I have yet to back down-nor will I ever.
Visions and such: So, some of you may know that I have seen angels before. And of those few, few others know that I continue to see one angel in particular. Well, I've seen him again, and this time I think I know his name.
Also, had a dream last night, a really, really scary dream. The gist of it was: There were demons trying to kill my soul, and get me to let this use my body to do their dirty work. It wasn't until after I thought about it this morning when I woke up that I realized it. So, guess who's now really on guard. Thank God for His merciful updates.
Schoolin': I worked ~ 25 hours a week at Krispy Kreme while taking 2 classes and moving...twice. Anywho, I was taking a First Aid class, and Trigonometry. I worked hard in my classes and at my job. God rewarded me with TWO A's! (Oh, I can't seem to locate my First Aid certification card, please pray that I find it.)
And in the coming Fall: I will be taking a 3rd Spanish course, Organic Chemistry, Genetics, a class for my child sciences minor, and, again, Biology II Lab-Animal Diversity. Please pray for me brothers and sisters, that I can be excellent in everything for our King.
Recap: Well, that was pretty much it. I can't wait to see all of you again. I'll be coming down the 20th or 21st, so can I get some ground control for safe traveling please?
I am so much better at asking for prayer nowadays. Praise God people!
Psalm 40.
love you all.

whoops....
So, i totally know that it's has been well over a month since my last blog. i apologize. Also, this post won't be grammatically correct or proper, sorry liz.
But i have experienced so much in the last 6 or so weeks. i have been outside of the country and way outside of my comfort zones. i have seen and heard some things that have upset me, and things that have brought me to tears. I am finding it hard to live at home again after 2 years of freedom and responsibility. And i am seriously missing all of you.
I hope to blog again soon. But i am still alive and kickinh satan's butt. You guys are all still with me right?
Don't lose your fire. I pray that each of you will not only fall in love with God again every week, but that you'll be set on fire and others will catch. i miss and love you guys so much. Can't wait to hear everything the summer has brought each of you. feel free to leave a comment.
oh, and i am so jealous of Supernatural Sundays! I wish i could come!
love love love love love you guys. Praying for you ALL.
Keep Christ as head and stay in line, sometimes it's hard to be in a relationship with someone who's always right-so work at it.
did i tell you i loved you already?
call me people. text me. see you guys soon.

My, how the days have flown...
Wow, it's pretty much over. I am a little in shock that my second year as a college student is finishing out. What else flies by? Days, my blog says I haven't written anything in 3 days...is that right?
So yeah, as my roommate blow dries her hair a mere 3 feet from me, I am reminded that it's almost over. I will soon be a third-year, off-campus-living, preparing for the MCAT college student. Scary. I am a little worried about some things, but I am excited for next year.
I will have my own room, a full kitchen, and a bathroom with only ONE other person. Yes! Plus, I will be a second semester servant leader for Every Nation Campus Ministries.
I am going to miss all of you very much. Man, I learned so much, in life, Christ and relationships, and I have the pictures to prove it!
So, in case you haven't figured it out yet, this blog has no particular point. I am just going to go into withdrawal away from all of you. I'll keep you all in my prayers. And try to blog something of substance later. Now: shower and study. Please pray for my finals. Thanks. Love you all!

Been a while eh?
Wow. So, wow. I forgot all about this page. Okay, hopefully I can remember and do it faithfully, maybe once a week. Anyway, I have so much to spill that has happened over the past 8ish months.
Um, well, for starters, I have become a member of the most exciting church I've ever been to. I love Every Nation Tallahassee. I see God working in the lives of every pastor. And the pastors, by the way, are pretty awesome as well. The worship is always filled with the presence of God, the messages relevant to EVERY walk of life, and the people are *kiss fingertips* perfecto!. I have learned and been challenged and grown as a result of my church, and I wouldn't change it for any other.
Personally, I've broken through some crazy barriers, changed how I identified myself, and met other college students honestly walking out the life of the narrow path set before them. That may be a lot for a second post. But it's what I got right now. I'm excited for responses. Oh, and some of our fantastic campus ministers on this site as well. Soon as I get their permission I'll post their links. Meanwhile, gonna do some Spanish then hit the hay. G'night!
