Chi Town


Hi everyone, Today's post will be dedicated to Chicago because that's where I am going in less than 48 hrs!! Wohooo!! I am so excited!!
So we leave Sunday and come back the following Sunday the 20th. The big thing about this trip is that we have no set plans which has really help me and the rest of the people going on this trip to learn to Trust in God!!! The only thing we do know is that we are staying at new life pilsten church which is a Hispanic American Church in south Oakley, Chicago. And one of the days we will be doing homeless ministry. But other than that we will be open to listen to God's voice to hear where he wants us to go. So if you guys could just pray for us that would be great. There are 18 people going including adults. We need alot of people praying for us while we are there ,pray for humility, strength, postivity and saftey and unity. Thank you . And one more thing...


we just found out that someone anonymously donated money for us to go to the sears tower
on our last day so Praise God.

Tomorrow I'll be going to grad parties in the afternoon and then packing at night because our luggage needs to be dropped off tomorrow night at the church so they can get going right away Sunday morning. I say they because I have my commencement on Sunday so I'll be taking a flight later and meeting them there around 5:30.

Oh and kinda out of order but tonight my family and I are trying out the new resturant close by our house called 5 Guys.
It should be good because my family's friends have had great reviews.

I hope you guys have a good weekend, See you on the 20th.

I know it has been a long time since I have written but like i have been saying in my last few posts, college has kept me busy and since I don't have homework tonight, I can come back and blog a little. I will just kinda update you whats going on in my life. Well lets see the semester is coming to an end wohoo!!! just one more week left and then next semester I won't have any more 8 o clock classes which will be SUPER nice. I am still trying to figure out if I am going to continue going to crown next year. I won't bore you with the details but I am possibly considering other schools so we will see. The title of the post just describes the story of my life haha, I have so many decisions to make like what classes to take next semester, what to do over christmas break (i got the opperutunity to go to IHOP (international house of prayer, a conference in Kansas city, Kansas) or stay home and go on a mini vacay with my family.) where to go to sc hool next year and who to be frie

Planet Wisdom

So this past weekend I went to Planet Wisdom with my youth group. Its a conference led by Mark Matlock and Dawson Mcallister. The topic was the last 14 hours of Jesus's life.It was a really good topic to talk about. The big thing that stuck out to me was Jesus was human just like us and he didn't want to die, yet he loved us so much that he did. Mark 14: 36 -36"Abba,Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." This passage shows that he didn't want to but he knew we wouldn't be forgiven by God if he didn't so he died on the cross for us. Another important point was that Jesus dies of suffocation. Fluid filled up in his lungs and no air could get out and thats how he suffocated. Something I think we all have to ask ourselves is Jesus made his choice by dying for us and now we have to make ours.. Is Jesus worth living for? The chorus of a song by Dutton that has been stuck in my

I know I have been in and out in blog world but I have been really busy here at college and I am loving it. But I also have been learning alot and growing in my relationship with God. But its hasn't always been happy joyful times in my walk with God. God has put this story on my heart to share with you guys. So i am going to and sorry there won't be many pictures. Ok so as you know college is EXPENSIVE, especially a private Christian college. Anyways, I did recieve some scholarships and feel very blessed that I did but the plan was I would get an on campus job to cover the other expenses that the scholarships didn't, like room and board. So in the beginning of the year there were all these job openings, and i applied to many of them such as working in the student billing office, finacial aid office,newspaper etc But I didn't get any interviews and they became filled. So during the week the interviews for the finacial aid office was going on, I knew a girl that got an in
