Yo Tumblr Friends.
Take some time and pray for my friend Sara if you can. She started coming to an on campus bible study last spring and recently has decided to convert from Islam to Christianity. She got baptized a few weeks ago and has had trouble with old friends and her family of course. Tonight she had some issues with her family and is now staying with the Collegiate pastor and his wife(because they are the...

Hard times
Having some really rough times these past few months and I’m learning some crazy awesome stuff about God. My situation still sucks irrevocably but My God is still awesome, loving, and full of grace.

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-10
I love pretty much everything about Springtime.
Why is Childish Gambino SO much fun to listen to??...

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do…

Favorite moment of January.
Me: What do you guys think it means to go fishing for men?
My Girls: *blank stares*
Me: How do you think we would go about fishing for men?
One of my Girls: Deep V-necks and Push-up bras?
Disciples
We are called to make disciples not converts or new believers but disciples.
Fight
I fell like my life is a constant battle. I’m always fighting so hard for stuff that I think should come easily.
Right now I’m really struggling with not getting things I deserve. Not ridiculous things, not things that are that far from reach or that absurd for me to feel I deserve, just simple things. I don’t get it.
Some times I just want to stop fighting and give in. I...

You might be a Young Life leader..
If instead of taking advantage of killer weather to go boarding you go to a high school jv and varsity girls basket ball game.
He must become greater; I must become less.
Ohio Weather
For real Ohio is crazy. Last night I went out for a late night longboard sesh in 50 some degree weather. Looking like mid to high 40’s all week. I don’t know what Akron did to deserve such an easy winter but I am totally ok with it.

I have a massive urge to drop out of school, delete my facebook and tumblr, throw my phone out the window and get on a train to somewhere random and just go on a massive adventure.
This is the single hardest thing for me to not do every day.

The Odd One.
Want a quick way to make sure everyone at your new job as a waitress knows you are different from the rest of the world? Tell them you care less about how much you make in tips and more about how well you take care of your guests.
The reactions are hilarious.
Work
To get a month off of work at Giant Eagle for summer staff I was supposed to let all managers know and check with them. Then I would have to talk to my store manager to see if he would allow it. Then I had to talk to the Regional HR person to get approval again. THEN I was supposed to write to cooperate to plead my case. If the approved I would be allowed to take the month off. Another option...

Though the fig tree doesn’t bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. Habakkuk 3:17-18
Extravagance
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8
I love every thing about this passage. Today when I was reading it something new...
Rant
I have a huge issue with pride and the majority of what I am about to say comes form my own personal pride which makes everything following this to be taken with a grain of salt but I just need to say it.
Recently there has been a huge amount of people re-bloging, sharing, tweeting, posting and re-tweeting some seriously great stuff. Stuff that can change the world. Amazing truth from...
