The wonderful thoughts of ME

Hey everyone out there, I created this blog to keep up with the fast moving media times. In my blog I will discuss what it is like in my crazy life. Being a college student, living my life for Christ, living on a budget, and everything else in between. Bible verses, things that speak to me, pictures, advice and whatever I feel like posting will all reside here. Welcome to my life :)

Learning to Let Go and Let God

One of the hardest things for me to do depending on the situation, is to Let Go and Let God. Prayer is powerful, talking about things helps, when all that is over, the one thing left to do is finally let go and let God work. Now, I have a jam-packed schedule this semester, I have full time classes, I participate in 2 bible studies, run 1 small group, i'm a volunteer Young Life leader, play soccer for an amazing team in a church co-ed league, but above else I am a child of God, striving to have people see how great our God is, and keeping myself in check. The tricky part is sometimes we rely solely on ourselves, compacting God and over taking his responsibilities. This is one thing I keep learning over and over and over again. I am not alone, and sometimes there are things I can't control, I can't handle...and I have to let go and let God. After all, God knows what I need, I do not. He sees the big picture. My one pastor, Pastor Ellis said this at our last bible study, ...

When a Book Changes Your Life....

Recently I've been reading this great book (I highly recommend it!) called When God Interrupts, written by M. Craig Barnes. It is all about finding new life through unwanted change. It is just amazing. I read a fair amount of books, this one however, has really stuck with me. It constantly goes back to the point that God giveth and God taketh away, but by sticking by and obeying God you will be blessed beyond belief in the long run. The tough part is merely realizing although we think we deserve the things we have or get, they are from God. He can take them away at any moment. Scary thought, huh? I know! Getting back to realizing it isn't about us at all, but about him is another point made. He is everything. He knows all, sees all, created all, and LOVES all. He doesn't put us through things just because. There is a reason for everything that he does, and sometimes ( or pretty much all the time) we won't understand it, but trusting and steadily relying on him is what...

He's everything on my list, BUT....

Today I was having a nice conversation with one of my best friends about none other than dating and boys. As we were talking, I found a meme that says "Bae has everything on my list, except being a Christian" - along with a picture of a cute baby making a funny face. I was having a similar conversation earlier with my bestie from work, we decided if there was any a time to play the "Jesus card" as a Christian, it's when it comes to dating. As we talked about boys, I had a few things come to mind that I'd like to share with all my single ladies (all my single ladies...)! 1- Jesus looks at you and loves you. He doesn't try to change you in any way, He tells you to come as you are. Your man of God should be no different. There should be no, I'd love to date you, BUT...! Once you hear that, move on. He's not the one for you. 2- Jesus pursues you, and is patient. These are two super important qualities in my opinion. Having a man that pursues yo...
