Jack: Would you like me to clean up after dinner? I just want to make sure your night is as nice and lovely as you are.
Me: if you want to, sure. Thank you! Chris do you want some pizza?
Chris: yeah.
Jack: well come to the table and get some. Don't make her wait on you.
LATER... (Chris is playing a racing game on the Xbox and he crashes.)
Chris: Jesus!
Jack: whoa! Don't take the Lord's name in vain, bro. Not cool.

This is going to benefit everyone tremendously. Girls will have to wear actual clothing. Props to administration. That’s all.
Guys, please pray for Johnny.

He just totaled his car from almost hitting a deer. He swerved off the road, through a ditch and into a tree. Highway patrol is on the way but he refuses to allow me to drive to see him. Please pray he’s okay.
Thank you.
In Christ, Olivia Faith.
You all probably follow him: Johnnyis. Please pray for healing.

I was having coffee with a friend this afternoon, and was explaining my concern about being able to enroll in school this fall for financial reasons. I need to come up with the difference between what I have and what I need by mid-August.
I’ve been wracking my brain about this for months and praying about it like crazy. Yes, I have a job now. No, it’s not enough to pay for school.
We...

I went to hear Shane Claiborne speak tonight, and I hate to say it, but I was quite disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, it was good and all, but I kind of wanted to be challenged or something and it was all just kind of blah. I think I like him much more as an author, rather than a speaker.

Whoa.
I don’t know how or why, but I was just having dinner at Five Guys with my nana, and as per usual, we ended up talking about where I’m going to college and stuff. Once again I explained what I believe to be the Lord’s will for me and such. And this time, she just listened and told me that I’ll go far. Whoa. That’s crazy! There used to be so much contention in my...

Nights like these
So much ministry was done tonight. No crazy breakthroughs or anything. No obvious miracles. No one accepted Christ today. But lives were changed. Cultural traditions were questioned. People listened. People saw God.
And God was there.
I really want to tell the whole story of what happened tonight. Someone please remind me if you don’t see it posted within the next couple days!

solideogloriaa:
Ok, so this is an attempt to answer all the messages I have in my inbox, since you lovelies are so interested to hear why I don’t agree entirely with Jefferson Bethke’s spoken word, “Why I hate religion but love Jesus” :) First, let me make it clear that I have nothing against the kid. I checked…
This.
So many people have been calling and offering me jobs; it’s crazy. So much so that I can hardly return all the messages and whatnot. It’s almost overwhelming, but I am so grateful.

God is good.
Last night I filled out a large portion of my financial aid request for BCOM.
I sent it in.
Today I got 3 calls about possible jobs!
God never gives a mission without a provision.
He is faithful.

Sometimes we think we have to get back to where we were with God, but He’s taking us to a different place, saying
Beloved, you have climbed that mountain, been on that mountaintop. Now you have walked through the valley. It is time to climb a new mountain.

Our God is good. And He is always the same, forever and ever. he’s been faithful before and He will be faithful again.
I’ve been filling out a lot of college paperwork lately, or rather, putting off filling out certain paperwork. ie: financial paperwork.
The thought of having to mark the box that says I cannot, in fact pay for school on my own freaks me out. I grew up in a wealthy...

Dear Will,
My friend Becky and I walked into Starbucks to put up a fundraising flyer this evening. This girl waved at her, and so Becky went over to say hey. There were six or seven middle-school aged kids sitting around a table. On the table was a marked up Bible, belonging to this guy who appeared to be nineteen or so. He was teaching a Bible study to these kids in the middle of Starbucks on a Monday...

Lord, send me and I will go.
That’s all I wanna do right now, be with the Lord. Yeah, aware I’m writing, but you get my point?
This summer I’m either

B. Studying abroad in the Middle East
C. Being a camp-counselor at Crestridge or Kanuga
D. Leading short-term missions trips in the culturally diverse district of Atlanta, GA.
Option D is pulling at my heart right now! You...

God is faithful. He’s so good and his timing is incredible.
I’ve been at home by myself for a few hours, just sitting here worshiping, praying, and crying out to the Lord. I’ve had so much on my mind lately, and I was just wanting to talk another person about it.
I guess I didn’t realize how long it has been since someone told me, simply put, that they trust what God is...
