tonight i went to elevate for the first time in a long time. one thing that hit me the most was what mo said about how we read the bible in comparison to girls who read twilight. girls who read twilight take it with them everywhere so wrapped in the book until they are finished reading it. i was one of those girls. i would stay up late reading until i finished. i did this for days as i read the entire series. this is how it should be when i read the bible. getting so wrapped up in the word and can't wait to read it again. i need to be more enthusiastic about reading the bible than about reading twilight. it is God's word, God's teaching to us. how stinking awesome is it that he is given us that?
so that's my challenge to myself...to read the bible the way i read twilight but even greater.
letting go

the hardest part of moving on is letting go of the past. letting go of the people you knew and the good times you remember. it sucks to remember who people used to be and then see where they are now and know there is nothing you can do about it. its hard to watch them when you know the great person they can be. but you can't do anything about it. you just have to realize that these people arent the same anymore and you have to let go. so that is what i'm doing. i'm letting go and moving on with my life.
i'm trusting God with my all. even when i feel like i have nothing else to give

well i have been a little absentee with how crazy everything has been. but im back! for some reason...i love blogging.
so...life has been crazy! with the gift revolution and finals this week time seems to fly by. last friday i did the prayer vigil and it was awesome. i've never done a prayer vigil but it was awesome to be able to do it. i wish i was able to go on tour with the revolution rally but i can't so my prayers are with them instead. finals are a bit stressful. i've been studying my butt off and am down 2, 2 to go.
it's also really cool to see God have his hand on things in your life. this past weekend at sawgrass for preschool we didn't have our usual person for setup. we ended up setting up quicker than we ever have and as we were tearing down we had more people to help than we ever had before. it shows that when you follow God's will he provides.
life's a crazy ride right now but i know God is there through it so it makes it easier to go through.
