The Calling

I love times when I can just sit and ponder things.. everything in the world seems to stop except the drinking of my cup of coffee and God pouring out his promises and truth to me. I'll share a few with ya..

~ I am not called to live a mediocre, alright life.

~ I have been called to not just endure but to fight the battle, not just give up and throw a pity party.

~ Through God I am fully armed and victorious (Romans 8:37, Ephesians 6:10-20)

~ I will set my eyes on things above, not earthly things (Colossians 3:2)

These are not only for me to hear and live out, but for my brothers and sisters. I pray I live these out boldly as an ambassador of Christ. I pray my brothers and sisters recognize their calling and run after it full force.

circus

Sometimes I feel like i'm surrounded by a circus! We have a park on campus that the river runs through and people love to hang out there. This weekend when I drove by this is what I saw..

- a girl walking on a tightrope (a rope tied between 2 trees about 2 feet off the ground)
- a couple groups of people playing guitars with lots of people around them (i'm assuming they were singing kum-by-yah)
- frisbie dan and his fan club
-people playing soccer
- people fishing
- people swimming
- people flying kites

I'm pretty sure you would have said the same thing if you were in my car with me

Seizing Your Divine Moment

Last week at bible study someone shared an exert from a book "Seizing Your Divine Moment" by E.R. McManus. God has put it in the middle of my thoughts this week and I thought I would share it with ya!

"You are called not to be a survivor, but to be a conqueror. With passion and anticipation, you move with determination into the eye of the hurricane ....."

"...I don't know what it means for others, but for a follower of Jesus Christ, what it means to live on the edge is to stand at the epicenter of where the kingdom of God confronts the kingdom of darkness."

What is your hurricane?

What is your epicenter?

Conversation

Monday morning I had a conversation with my mom and thought it was quite humorous so I thought I would share it with ya... (please keep in mind that she recently jumped on the facebook bandwagon)

Mom: hey, what's going on?
Me: nothing much, just getting ready for school
Mom: is everything ok?
Me: yes...
Mom: well, i just read your status and it said you weren't doing facebook anymore. did something happen? was someone messing with you? is everything ok?
Me: yes mom, everything's fine, facebook was just distracting me too much.
Mom: yea, i know what you mean. alright, i just wanted to make sure everything was ok.
