time

Seems like the days are going by super slow, yet when I look back I have no idea where the time went. Life is definitely falling into place for me. I have my classes set for this fall at Bellevue College and I finally got accepted to Masters College in Cali, which I hope to go to this spring if it works out :) And on top of that, I think I've decided I'm taking a break with the whole majoring in business deal. I'm moving on to kinesiology or sports medicine and we'll see where that takes me! Other than that I've been working like crazy, enjoying every minute of my summer even though it hasn't been all that eventful, and treasuring each moment I get with everyone because you know life is too short to take that for granted!

book worm

I FINALLY finished the book Captivating after trying to read it for months. HA. I love Gods timing because I stopped and started reading it again at the times I needed to hear it most!

"Fallen Eve demands people to 'come through' for her. Redeemed Eve is being met in depths of her soul by Christ and is free to offer to others, free to desire, and willing to be disappointed. Fallen Eve has been wounded by others and withdraws in order to protect herself from further harm. Redeemed Eve knows that she has something of value to offer, that she is made for relationship. Therefore being safe and secure in her relationship with her Lord, she can risk being vulnerable with others and offer her true self."

Dang right.

On to the next books:

Twelve Extraordinary Women - John MacArthur

The Pursuit of God - A W Tozer

Learning to enjoy getting to know our Savior :)

mission

A simple message really hit me the other day. It was straight up the Gospel. We proclaim to be Christians, yet are we really living our lives on a mission for Him? If someone asked you about Jesus, could you whip out your Bible and lay down all the verses that are needed to spread Truth? I guess thats the problem with the church today. We need to be ready and know who He is. Including myself.

There are 5 gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John....and your own.

The sad part is most people won't read the first 4....they'll only get to yours.

On to studying the Word.

July

I wrote an update about what was going on in my life, only to delete it hah. It wasn't that interesting. My summer has basically been....work. Other than that, this has definitely been a summer where I'm actually taking my walk with God seriously. I usually just blow that off until I get to my "home" church back in Cali or Seattle. Its sad, but its the truth. I guess its different this summer. I actually have the drive to look up and watch sermons on my spare time and study Gods word. It becomes a habit when you have family and friends around you who you can share your thoughts with daily. I've been learning that life is definitely Gods timing and there is no such thing as coincidence. Things and people just happen to be there at that particular moment because God intended it to happen. Sometimes we love it, sometimes we don't. And just the fact that God is the one that controls everything, amazes me in His sovereignty. Words cannot explain how great He is! Not so sure where I was going with this blog, but I just had to get some thoughts out :) till next time!
