April 1st
It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything. And I believe part of the reason was that God stopped speaking to me because I was not seeking Him like I should. A few weeks ago God broke me and I felt renewed and refreshed and had a fire to learn again. I was listening to a sermon from One Community (miss that church so much) Pastor Paul was talking about new years resolutions (it was...

January 25.
It’s the begging of a new year. God was so good to me in 2011. He blessed me so much. So much has changed in the past year. I’ve grown up a lot, learned to work harder, know that I will never plan a wedding again, married my best friend , went to the Bahamas twice, and began my senior year of college. Those were the bigger events, but the smaller events and lessons day to day God has...

Day 9
Very stressed but trusting God…have no internet so this blog is no longer an everyday blog until further notice haha
Be Still and Know I am God →
Day 8
My new favorite hobby is to pray for people when i see them in their car, in a store, or just walking down the street. The other day I was at sheetz and this guy cuts line in front of about 6 people to buy a 12 pack of beer and cigs. He seemed so unhappy. my heart broke for him because there is so much freedom in Christ that he has yet to experience. I just started praying for him and praying that...
Day 7
Praying for the kids at camp jacob as well as camp bahamas today. Camp holds a very dear place in my heart. I talked to a friend of mine who worked at camp jacob this year and she said a lot of the kids were asking where i was. Funny because the last time i saw most of them i had just hit my head and was being rushed to the hospital. It is just good to know that i had a tiny impact on some of...
Day 6
Wisdom and discernment are two things that I am praying for more of lately. Reading through Proverbs this month is helping me see the importance of fearing the Lord firstly and seeking his guidance.
Day 5
What is the armor of God? Is it a cool story the Bible gives us so we can teach little kids to read their Bible and pray? We imagine ourselves as some sort of a superhero fighting for God’s purpose. For many years this is what I took it as, I knew there was more to it than that, but did not live it out. After hearing a sermon preached on the armor of God, the spiritual warfare we are in was...
Day 4
While in the Bahamas God really showed himself through nature. There were three moments that I hope I will never forget and purposely writing them here so I never will.
1. I woke up at 5:30, kayaked out to an island across from us, walked around to the back of it to watch the sunrise. With the ocean breeze the temperature was perfect. The smell of salt was in the air. I stood as close to the edge...
Song of the day. OUR GOD IS ABLE →
We sang this at xi training camp and it has been on my heart and on my lips ever since then.

Can’t stop listening to this song today. Camp rekindle my swag. I love the line “But some others say we preachin’, some close-minded teachin’ Like we aint heard of Marx, Locke, and Nietzsche, Believe me” To most people Christians are ignorant, that’s why its so important to know how to argue for the cause of Christ and to be ready to give an answer to the hope that is in...
Day 3
I am at a point in my life where I have to make some big decisions. When we are seeking after God though, these decisions are not as stressful to make. I am reading through Proverbs this month and today was chapter 3. Verses 5 and 6 are two that I have had memorized since a little kid, but God brought them to my attention again at a very fitting time. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,...
“If you completely give of yourself physically, you become exhausted. But when...”
Day 2
God is faithful with all of His promises. When he says that if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us, He wasn’t saying that lightly. I was nervous starting out this summer because I went into it knowing that I wouldn’t be working at camp Jacob. Camp is such a special place to me because it gets me away from society and everything that distracts me from spending time with God. It always...

Day 1
Today I am starting a 365 day long spiritual blog. I know this is going to be hard to keep up with everyday especially with school work and normal work, but I am determined to write something, even if it one sentence everyday. Today’s will be very long because of what has happened over the past few months. Firstly, I started a 21 day fast while raising money for my mission trip. It was a...
