In the beginning....

Well...it has been so long since I have kept any type of
journal other than my prayer journal...probably about 10
years. I had a mother who liked to snoop in my things so I
decided the ONLY way to keep it from her was to STOP
WRITING haha! For anyone who stumbles across this and does
not know me, I will tell ya a little about myself. I am
20. I am a junior in college, religious studies major. I
could say that Jesus is the most important thing to me, but
that would be stretching the truth. I WANT Him to be the
most important and dearest thing, but its a daily struggle,
it has been the whole Christmas break. I do love Him with
everything in me, I am just at a struggling point with
giving Him the time He deserves. My New Year's resolution
being just to know Him more, and love Him more...more of a
prayer. And that I wouldn't be satisfied with anything
less that what He planned out for me! I live in North
Carolina and I LOVE IT. I grew up in Lebanon VA, actually
I am here now. BUT I get to go back to NC on SUNDAY,
praise Jesus, I am getting out of these pea-sized town of
people with pea-sized minds haha!

I spent the night with my friend Pam last night. It was a
little strange, considering we havent spoken to eachother
in over a year and have both changed A LOT...so I guess it
was nice to catch up...strange is really the only word I
can think of right now. I went there knowing that I have
missed her and hoping I guess for restoration in our
friendship, but I left there missing her more...so its just
strange!

A lot has happened for me in the past year. I have started
having a semi-relationship with my dad, my mom is going to
church with me now:), our intervarsity group (Approaching
the Throne) has been SOOO blessed!, the Women's Bible Study
has grown so much!, have had a lot of great people
introduced into my life, I am learning SPANISH!, I got to
see Shane Barnard in concert!, the list just goes on and
on...I am amazed at how He still blesses even when we are
not doing all we can...HE IS GOOD! His goodness makes me
want to know Him more, and I know He is going to bless that
desire this year! I have really seen the power of prayer
this year, and God's timing is ALWAYS perfect. I wish I
could feel that all the time, that certainty. Well I am
gonna run, Adios Amigos!

MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU!

BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY: Titus 2:11-15 NLT "11For the
grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all
people.12And we are instructed to turn from godless living
and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world
with self-control, right conduct, and devotion to
God,13while we look forward to that wonderful event when
the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will
be revealed.14He gave his life to free us from every kind
of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people,
totally committed to doing what is right.15You must teach
these things and encourage your people to do them,
correcting them when necessary. You have the authority to
do this, so don't let anyone ignore you or disregard what
you say. "


QUOTE: "‘Cause peace is pouring over my soul

See the lambs and the lions playin’

I join in and I drink the music

Holiness is the air I’m breathin’

My faithful heroes break the bread and answer all of my
questions

Not to mention what the streets are made of

My heart’s held hostage by this love"--deep enough to dream
