Walking in the Desert


Long time no talk readers but I am back :)

So I don't know about you but do you ever feel like in your relationship with God, you are walking in the desert?


Because the last couple of months , that has been me !!! During the school year I was used to having my quiet time with God in the afternoon after my classes got done and then every M,W, and Friday I would go to chapel and be around other Christians just worshiping God.
But now its the summer and I have two jobs and I basically put God on the back burner. He was an after thought. And like Francis Chan says in Crazy Love, I was giving him my leftovers. But anyways after reading many blog posts and encouraging facebook status updates, God showed me that He was there the whole time with open arms just waiting for me to come back to him. And I just learned that I really want to spend time with God I need to be intentional about it and
I may need to get up a little bit early every day to spend time with the One who made me . Below is the song that I listened too over and over again.

And 1 more honest thing, I think the reason I didn't spend time with Him, was because I kinda mad that God was not answering my prayers but Ria over at life as a wife shared this awesome quote from a pastor at a church in NC.

""Sometimes God will prevent us from a certain goal at a time that does not coincide with His will. It’s not that we’re not doing what’s right. It’s just that we’re not doing it with the right timing.
He’s not saying not ever. He’s just saying not now."

Ok so Happy friday and here is the song

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
