Sometimes you lock eyes... and just know.

What God has done for me so far...

Let me tell you about this blog readers. My God is sovereign and he is good. I could never ever ever imagine being anywhere else that Cedarville University. If you are looking for a great school, you must check it out. God is moving on this campus, and i cannot being to put into words what he has done. Recently I have joined the One Voice Gospel Choir, which was the best decision that I have ever made. You know how you get that feeling of belonging? Yupp I have that, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me in that choir. Last night we had Gospel Fest, and let me tell you it was a night of praise. Everything from being free, to excellence, to an Awesome God. Hmmmmmmmm YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS he is worthy. Oh, and btdubs that is my new praise word. Grace is still there, but now worthy has entered the picture. Oh my my my he is worthy of our praise, because of his grace. Now that is a dangerous sentence. Hmmmmmm, he is so worthy. I need to stop or I am going to have a shout session in my room. HALLELJU!!!!!!!

Worship, worship, worship, worship, WORSHIP!!!

God is soooo worthy, that no one can even express. That is what I have been reminded time and time again. That everything I do he is the one that enabled me to do it. Everytime I open my mouth to sing he is there giving me the ability to further his kingdom. It is so amazing to be filled with a campus full of people who want to fulfill the will of God like me. Growing up in a public school I was not as fortunate. It has not even been a week yet and God has moved in me. I have met some great friends, and have but fuel in some old ones. But most of all i am here with my saviour and nothing can take that away from me.

CU Bound :)

So I have to say that I have been looking forward to this weekend since i left summer studies last July. It's incredible to finally realize that I am a college student. It has not hit me yet for sure, it all feels like such a dream. I keep seeing people on campus that I know and they keep telling me how awesome it is to see me finally on campus. It's weird to me that I am actually growing up. I mean i look at my friends and i am like yupp you look like your going to college, and i don't feel like i do.

I am really stoked about looking for what God wants me to do with my life. There has already been an opportunity put in front of me to go to Uganda my junior year, i really want to do that so i will for sure start praying about that. There are just so many things, I pray that i can just do God's Will and not have to back track.

Needless to say I am so excited to be her with my "posse" of 7, and all the summer studies crew. Also my twin sister/mentor the lovely Bri Dupree. I cannot wait to see where God takes that relationship.

It's the 2nd day and I can already tell God is going to move in CU.

Life

Sometimes i wish i could read people like a book. i wish i really understood completely how they felt and there was never a question. I wish i really understood if people felt the same way that i feel about them. Oh and i wish that i knew if people were annoyed cause that could help to. Idk.. the was just my random thought for the day :)

Smite 2010

Holy Cow! The best 10 days of my whole entire summer! I am not even sure where to begin. I guess I will just hit the most important things to me of the week.

The first night we were there (Saturday) we helped out with there version on youth group. We did the lifehouse everyting skit( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVJqRLU3J0I watch it if you have never seen it) and it was amazing, the teens were very responsive and after a hard day of preparing the Lord blessed us with 10 salvations. It was such an amazing night!

Sunday morning we went to black people church and it was SOOOO sweet. We got to worship Jesus in a way i had never done before. I feel like that day I got a little glimpse of heaven and boy is it going to be exciting! The next night (sunday) we had a family dinner. That night i met Glinn and Tiffany. They forever have impacted me. Tiffany taught me how to jerk, and glinn taught me how to angry dance. it was super awesome to be able to fellowship with them. I ended up giving tiffany a bible on tuesday which was amazing.

Tuesday night we put on our first block party at hert park. within the first hour we had seen 200 people. God really brought the people in so we could touch their hearts. That night we had a couple more salvations, which was so awesome to see God move in the people in Roanoke.

Wednesday was our day to have to ourselves. So we went to the lake and just got to enjoy God's creation it was sooo awesome! it was seriously so beautiful! I wish there were beautiful mountain's in Indiana :)

Thursday we did another block party but this time it was in land's down. It was beautiful and tons of people showed up. I worked the clothes table and this lady was dancing around and so i asked her, "if everything was okay," She said, "Yes everything is wonderful i am so blessed," and i said "The Lord is blessing you isn't he," and she said "Yes he is!" That was soo encouraging to she the Lord work in the lives of those people.

Friday we put on a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. It was awesome to see everyone interact with each other, and to be able to put on a positive thing in the community. It was awesome again to see God move through his people.

Saturday was a super busy day! First we started out with a car show and it was raining so not alot of cars showed up. I think that God was letting us rest so that we would be ready for another night of Straight Street. We were so exhausted so he was telling us to save ourselves and give our all that night. We did some more skits and songs, and some decisions were made. It was neat to see some of the kids back that we met through out the week.

In my life God taught me to always be in his word. Prayer is a powerful thing. Never ever be afraid God will always give you the strength and the words. Most of all see him in everything.

If his grace is an ocean we're all sinking. Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest and I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the wayyy that he loves us WOAH how he LOVES us WOAH how he LOVES us WOAH how he LOVES. - John Mark McMillian

Summer

Normally summer time brings a new school year, with the same friends and new memories. Yes, i'll have new memories, but these one's will last me a life time. August 20 marks a new life for me whether i like it or not. And trust me i like, but i kinda wish i could stay in this moment forever, i mean what did this ever hurt anyone? but i know i have to move on to bigger and better things. i don't think i could be any more excited. :)
