[[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.

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 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 ||
