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.

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! :)
