Hey, I'm back!

Back in this space. The strange wonder that is the Internet.

What have I been up to since my last post in October 2010? [Wow. That's a long time.] Well, let me tell you.

Since then, I've graduated from Northwestern College, established a career in communications [specifically, SEO + digital marketing] and I [recently] got hitched!



Life has definitely changed for me, as I'm sure it has for you. My intention is to continue a personal blog about what is going on in my life to stay connected with you all. Whether it is here on this Blogger account or elsewhere, I will be sure to let you know.

As for now, thank you for reading and I look forward to building memories in the blogosphere again.

Ciao!

Kendall

Open eyes. The open road...

After an extremely long hiatus from blogging here, I am back! I will be blogging much more frequently from here about my adventures, what is going on in my life, pop-culture, and everything in-between. Get excited!

Until then, be well -- Kendall.

Shadowfeet

walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
toward home, a land that i've never seen
I am changing, less and less asleep
made of different stuff than when i began
and i have sensed it all along
fast approaching is the day

when the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
when the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you

there's distraction buzzing in my head
saying in the shadows it's easier to stay
but I've heard rumors of true reality
whispers of a well-lit way

You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things
You make all things

when the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you
when time and space are through
I'll be found in you

LOVE THIS

p.s. i still love blogger

i am a dreamer//take me higher::..

[[free will))

lately there has been a lot of talk in my life about free will, how God has given us free will, what is expected of my life here on earth, and what God's will or purpose is for my life. i have really just been starting to wrestle with the fact that i am graduating this upcoming may [2010] and what i am going to do afterward.

i am very interested in missions and public relations [my major]. i have been really thinking about YWAM, but i am open to any other opportunities that arise. i want to be obedient and follow where God wants me to be.

::...;;";;summer wind;;..

summer days, floating on by.
going
faster, faster, faster ...
drifting into the sky.

summer,
stay longer.

independence

happy independence day. let us remember all the people who have given their lives for this country and celebrate our freedom.

"if you can't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them" - annonymous

ATHEISM

"Thus in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist--in other words, that the whole of reality was senseless--I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality--namely my idea of justice--was full of sense. Consequently atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning; just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning."
-C.S. Lewis

new -- look||

the Lord is new everyday -- make HIM known, make HIM shine.

HE wants you. be captivated by HIS everlasting and undying love for YOU!

::some things that i have been encouraged by lately::
-people (including RAMPAGE, house groups [immersion], church [lifechurch])
-accountability group at caribou friday mornings [cold press iced coffee w. white chocolate]
-worship ((specifically, Christ for the Nations, Hillsong, Klaus))
-the WORD [otherwise known as, the Bible.]

i hope & pray that you all are being encouraged, challenged and being brought closer to Christ this summer.

LIVE YOUR LIFE || ayyy ayy yayyy

no, this posting is not about the t.i. and rhianna song ... sorry.

http://www.livingontheedge.org/r12/self.php

the preacher, chip ingram is talking about finding the meaning of your life -- what does your life say? what does it mean? how can i make the most out of my life?

personally, there has been a lot of this questioning about life recently with some of my friends --

please read Romans 12:3-8, get into the word, your life will change.

i'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life --

sitting here, 1 am.

i am starting a fast tomorrow, no facebook, no tv, and no food -- just liquid. in hopes to draw nearer to the Lord, and a new ministry with some of the young adult women i dearly love.

listening now, phil wickham.

this time of no school, and being able to do what i would like has been delightful.

i am starting to read two new books -- the greatest generation by tom brokaw: amazing accounts of several people who have lived through the second world war, and how/ why they are great americans.

and, mere christianity by c.s. lewis -- a breathtaking experience. i can't wait to read more.


until next time [who knows when this will be], thanks for reading ||

End o' Project

Hey guys!
Sorry I didn't update my blog in forever! I was so extremely busy all the time and I had such a wonderful time! You can go to www.cominneapolis.org to see pictures, the blog from my leaders and more all about Summer Beach Project -- otherwise, I am sure I will see you all at some point this year, and I will fill you in on my summer and how it went, all that jazz.

Thank you for your wonderful and awesome support!

Love, Kendall

sunday morning rain is fallin

its another great day in myrtle beach :)
there are about 100 students in our group this year, we are split into three teams to go to church on sundays, two of the teams go to a church called Pine Drive Gospel Church in Surfside. and my team is attending Trinity Episcopal Church in Myrtle Beach. we had a great sermon today on "why religious people hate the Gospel" it was such an awesome sermon and detailed greatly about why we should care about the Gospel, and not about works and religion.

when we got back to our house (the love shack, thats what we named it -- because it is a shack, its got cockroaches, the paint is literally chipping off of our house in chunks, and people get arrested daily right in front of our house, we live in the cut in other words). anyway, we wanted to go shopping after church because it was a cloudy day unlike most of the days that we have had here, but it started to pour and it became a pretty bad storm so we stayed inside until it was over and then went to the mall down the street.

tomorrow i have work again from 945-7pm at wild water and wheels, i have met some pretty awesome people there and its great working with them and being able to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them.

one last thing, we went to the Toby Mac concert last night (he is a Christian music artist, formally in the band DC Talk). it was a free concert right down the road called "beachfest" by andrew palau. it was a ton of fun :)

thank you all for being in my life and praying for me this summer! its been awesome so far, and i can't wait to talk to and see you all when i return home! :)
