Scripture:
This week I started a class called PERSPECTIVES on Thursday nights
from 6-9pm at Campus View Church! As you have probably figured out from my blog
over the past several months I have truly felt the Lord’s call to missions. At
this point I do not really know the answers to any of the where, who, why, or
what questions just yet, but I know the feeling in my soul. I am so humbled
when I look back over the last several years of my life and see how the Lord
has been preparing me for this time. Several years ago the Lord led me out of a
relationship, not because anything was going wrong with it, but to simply show
me how to completely depend on Him with every aspect of my life. Little did I
know, that through that experience, He was preparing and strengthening me to
maybe one day have to walk away from comfort and familiarities again, in order
to spread His unconditional love to others around the world. How GRACIOUS He
is!
The class PERSPECTIVES that I am taking focuses on teaching and
preparing those who are feeling the call to missions. This Thursday was the
first night, and let me tell you it was amazing! The speaker is so simple in
his delivery of the messages, but yet very powerful. I know that I have been
blessed with so much, and therefore the Lord commands me to go out and serve
those less fortunate. I believe that with all of my heart, and that is my only
purpose in living! This is not just a choice in life, this is a lifestyle. I
NEVER thought that I would have felt this call in my life. Believe me, I have
had my own desires of wanting to get married, settle down, and have babies. I
still believe that the Lord may have that for me, but I only want it on His
terms. I cannot wait to tell you each week what I am learning in PERSPECTIVES,
and I hope that it encourages you to live your life for the Lord wholeheartedly,
every second of every day!
“The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Proverbs
18:10
School:
As I said before, school has been great so far! Though I have to
say that I am really ready to graduate! I think this semester is going to be
wonderful and I am going to learn a lot. I am still ordering books, getting
organized, and filling in the MASTER CALENDAR with important tests and
projects. So far, I haven’t started any big assignments, but as soon as I do I
will let you know all about it! (Probably more than you want to know! Hehehe!)
Savory:
This week has been full of happy memories! I am going to have to
be better about remembering to write down the “savory” things that happen
throughout the week. I think that the most special memories have been the time
spent with my sweet, sweet friends this week. I am so thankful for each and
every one of them. The Lord has truly blessed me by surrounding me with Christian
girls that encourage and love me just for who I am! Each of them loves the Lord
so much, and we are all there for each other whenever we need a little extra
love and care. Trust me, we go through good times and bad with this career
choice, and at times it can be pretty stressful! Somehow, we all have our
breakdowns individually and there is always one of us there to pick the other
up! I don’t know what we will do when we all break down at once! Lol! That
could be scary! Thank you sweet sisters for you love and support! I believe
with all of my heart that the Lord has led each of us together for a purpose! I
LOVE YOU CASEY, MICHELLE, and LIBBS!
SO WHAT!
Ok! Here it goes! It is officially time for the SO WHAT’S! I also
want to mention that my friend over at “Life After ‘I Dew’” is the founder of
SO WHAT’s. I am just using her idea in a different way. Please visit her blog!
It is great!
SO WHAT…
- - I completely indulged in brownies and ice cream this afternoon!
- - I am blogging right now instead of exercising like I had planned
for today!
- - My laundry is completely overflowing out the baskets and I have
not even begun to wash it! (I guess I’ll do that tomorrow J)
- - I got a little obsessed with making thank you and Valentine’s Day cards
on Shutterfly last night until midnight!
- - I lost my debit card, cancelled it, and then my dad found it the
next day after I had ordered a new one! Ah!
- - I spent 6 HOURS in one desk at school on Tuesday!
- - I sleep on my couch every night, and haven’t actually slept in my
bed for four months!
- - I let my hair air dry everyday and I do not even own a hair dryer!
That’s all for this week! I will get
back to ya next week with more nibbles! Have a blessed week!
