Gone

Friday, March 28, 2008

Hey everyone,
I heard you all had a really great night of Overdrive this past week. THAT IS GREAT! Sorry I missed it. I needed the night off to just be. I’m getting a little overloaded, but I’m doing okay. I just want to encourage everyone who shared something Wednesday night to keep strong in God. [...]

Half empty or half full?

Thursday, February 28, 2008

how do you see the glass that is life? Do you see it as half empty where nothing goes right, your friends have ditched you for some reason or another and you are failing half of your classes? Or, do you see it as half full, enjoying the friends that you do have, cherishing the [...]

relax….

Friday, February 22, 2008

I really haven’t had a lot to say the last couple of weeks, hence why i haven’t posted anything in a while. I hope you don’t mind. I have been busy. I have school work, as do you I am sure, and I have had friend-things going on, as I am sure you have had [...]

Valleys and Mountains

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

This week has been interesting for me. And it’s only Wednesday. Monday I had a pretty good day. My classes at school weren’t as bad as they usually are and I had a great time hanging out with a friend in the evening. God even showed me some things while I was hanging out with [...]

God’s timing

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

You know, God is really funny on WHEN he does things. You think that you know the best time in your life to try something new or move on to a new thing in your life, but really you don’t.  It’s God who knows and He will prevent you from doing the things that you [...]

Sorry for the long absence….

Wednesday, August 1, 2007

Wow, it’s been a while since I last posted something on here. Sorry about that. Life has been busy for me the last few weeks. I have JUST finished my summer class (last night actually) and now have a little bit of free time available to myself to do with what I want, instead of [...]

A poem….

Thursday, July 12, 2007

HOPE 
For life?
For love?
For power?
For success?
For what?
So I can have immense pain
when the hope
is dashed,
ruined,
killed? 

Yet even after the hurt,
I hope again.

Romans

Monday, June 18, 2007

This past week in Missouri, Charity and I had the honor of getting to know six wonderful young women. We got to see each of them grow in God in some way or streched in their faith. I was definately streched in my own faith. We did a devotional one morning on Romans 8 with the [...]

Stressed?

Wednesday, June 6, 2007

This week has been very stressful for me thus far. I have had to work A LOT, I’m trying to get ready for the mission trip to Missouri on Friday, plus, I am taking a college class this summer that starts tomorrow. Not to mention all the other oddities of life that always come up. [...]
