Ebenezer part 2 (22 blessings)
This is what I wanted to post yesterday, but due to practicum, friends, sleep, and other distractions, It didn’t come until today. I thought this would be a good time of the year to publicly declare that I truly believe in a personal God who has been working in my life. It is a thank you to Him and several people who have been important to me.
1.I have an amazing, supportive, creative,...

Here I raise my Ebenezer (AKA, today I turn 22)
Alright, so, 22 isn’t necessarily the most important birthday, but its just another result of time going on and on. 12, 16, 18, 21, 30, 50, these are all pretty important, but 22 is just sort of blazeh. For this reason, I’ve decided that on this day, instead of describing how cool I have suddenly become, I will describe for you how cool God has been in my life for the past 22 years.

"Our wants change all the time, but our needs...
My friend Ashleigh made this statement when sharing her testimony in our small church plant last week. It was (and is today) a good reminder for me. Sometimes I don’t ‘feel’ like serving God, reading my Bible, or praying. I don’t ‘want’ do do those things, because there are easier ways to occupy my time and energy. Easier here meaning that less time and...

Exit Questions...
Exit question for socials today: make me a short poem of what you learned… example: Hierarchal society sounded very foreign to me, until I thought of my home town, the ways the power trickles down… Or they can draw me a picture. I hope they write poems.
Let it go...
Do you ever find, once in awhile, that you are in defense mode against the world and you didn’t even realize it? Shoulders tense and towards your ears, jaw slightly clenched, arms in, elbows down, and eyes open wider then they need to be? That’s about the time I start to realize I’m developing a headache in my temples, my eyes are sore, and my body aches. The remedy, you ask?...

School's OUT...
Wolf Creek Schools are cancelled today, my car is buried for the second time in 3 days. I do not want to shovel our side walk again. I’m excited to have this day for extra planning (the Lord knows I can use it) but the timing is a little bit sad, because I was really looking forward to teaching art. We’re starting mosaics, and I was so into it. I had my demo all ready. OH well,...

Conviction
David Gates is in town this weekend. I went this evening to the vespers program which he presented in our community church. CRAZY!! Hearing of someone who lives completely, literally by faith, humbles me. I realize how sinful my heart is when I hear of someone fully zero-ing out their bank account each month for missions, while working as a volunteer, knowing God will simply fill it again for...

crushedglass:
Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.
When Jesus was upon the earth, He taught His disciples how to…

Once prayed before, and now again…
“Oh God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again! You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking. You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion.” – Psalm 60: 1-3

Lord of the Flies
I finished Lord of the flies today. Reading the last few chapters makes me nauseous. Hopelessness and desperation. I wonder, if an island of adults from today’s society got trapped in a similar way, would they have created and lived by order, or would savagery have started sooner…
