Doing nothing is a choice
I learned a valuable lesson this weekend. Sometimes not doing anything is still the wrong thing. We make choices everyday, even if we decided not to do something that is still a choice. If you have things that should be taken care of in anyway and you choice to put it off, its wrong because they eventually catch up to you.
In almost all of Andy Andrew’s books he talks about choices and...

Money can't buy God
The past month or so I have been working at a Bar. It started out me just waitress to help out a friend and then I ended up on the schedule. I was having fun and making lots of money, but something inside me was changing. I found myself going out all the time and drinking a lot more than usual, don’t get me wrong I like to drink with dinner or maybe watch a movie and drink ONE OR TWO, but I...

A year ago today I was waking up in a hospital bed with my arms tied to the bed, a tube down my throat, IVs in both my arms and hands, and a catheter attached to me, but I think the scariest part was seeing my mom across the room. I remember I laid there acting like I was asleep for two hours because I wasn’t ready to talk to my mom.
I was in a dark place just one year ago. I have...

My goals for this year
Yes I know that it is February and that most people make goals for the year on January 1, but I have really been thinking and praying on these and making sure that they are doable and that I will stick with them. I didn’t want this to just be a trend that I follow. I actually want to stay true to these goals and make them last. Some of them are just random things I need to do to take more...
Book Review: Living with Confidence in a Chaotic...
This book was very interesting and intriguing, but not one of my favorites. I enjoyed the over all point to the book and the message that it carried. It took me a long time to read though because at points I just got bored and it was a little hard to follow. It was very up to date and mentioned a lot of problems that were reverent to what is going on in today’s world. I also liked how all...
Book Review: The Boy Who Changed the World and...
Both of these books are by Andy Andrews. I personally love all of Andrews books. What he has done with these two books has made a short and sweet story about how every action we take make matters. I would say that these books are very similar except that The Boy Who Changed the World is very well made for children. I would highly recommend both of these books. I gave my copy of The...

It's a new year!
Another year has passed and a lot has changed. I am not sad at all for 2010 to be gone. I have learned a lot, struggled, but most importantly I have grown. Looking back I can’t say that 2010 was an awful year because it has taught me so much and changed me for the better.
A lot of talk has been going on about one word for the year. I have been thinking a lot over what I want my one word...

Book Review: Christianity Today: Faith and Pop...
It took me a really long time to finish and review this book. It isn’t because this book is long or a hard read, it is because it is a group devo and it was just hard for me to read but not do. I really enjoyed how they related today’s culture with today’s faith. I work and grow in my faith around a group of youth with past churches and with the church I am presently at. I...

My Lost Choice
It’s been quite an interesting summer. Some bad things have happened but I wouldn’t at all say that it has been a bad summer. This is a hard blog for me to write, I think mainly because I don’t want it to be taken the wrong way at all. At no means am I doing this for pity or for attention, I just have a lot of thoughts and I don’t know how else to get them out of my head.

Can we find change?
I’m sure that you can look into any couch or any chair to find change. That isn’t what this blog is about though or I would pretty much be done just telling you if you are looking for change go look into your couch cushions and I bet you can find at least a dollar maybe more depending on how many times you look for change.
The thing is that is nothing what this blog is about. ...
God is the way to end a bad day
It has been awhile since I have posted and a lot has happened since I have last posted. I have faced a lot of hard times and good times since I have last posted, and I have gone through a phase where I didn’t think anything I would write would make sense to anyone. This may still be a post that doesn’t make sense to anyone but my head is full and my heart is heavy so I’m gonna...

Missionaries of the World
“He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” 1 John 2:2
It is so great to have people that are willing to go and be missionaries and I pray for blessing and thanks for those people everyday and hope one day that I might be blessed with an opportunity to do something similar in some country. I often don’t think of how I can...
Simply Go Live Like Jesus
Jesus calls us to go out into the world.
“Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…’” ~Matthew 28:18
Jesus doesn’t tell us to go and help the world because if you don’t they wont be saved, you are not the only hope. Jesus simply just tells us to go....

Only in God's timing
Ever felt certain that you are the one to do this and that it is going to be awesome and that you truly feel that God is going to work great through you? I have felt like that and the time that I think I felt the most like recently was at camp this summer. I was so certain that being a camp counselor is exactly what God had in mind for me, granted it was but I wasn’t ready and trained in...

Getting in God's Stride
These past couple of weeks have been a struggle for me, and coming out of the struggle I decided I needed to change somethings in my life. One of these things I am going to start changing is how I start my days. At camp this summer I realized the days that I started off with having a quiet time with God are the days I enjoyed the most, so I figured that would be the same here at school. Today...

Book Review: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
I was so excited when I got the email from Thomas Nelson saying that we could be able to read Don Miller’s new book early. I have always enjoyed Don Miller’s writing, he is probably one of my favorite authors.
I couldn’t wait to get the book. I can honestly say that I have never read a book in one day until I got this one. As soon as I got this book I couldn’t put it...

Don't blame the dark for being dark
This past weekend I went with a few people from my college group to San Antonio. While we were there we didn’t really have a schedule or anything to follow we were just hanging out. Robert, my college minister did give us a little mission however; he gave each of us $10 dollars and told us that we could either make more money with that ten dollars or make a stranger’s day with the...
Joining the craze
I figured I would join the craze and get a blog. I find that I’m always reading everyone else’s and that I have a lot to say back to the blogs I read or with things that just happen in my life. I guess now I can have a valid excuse as to why I didn’t do work that I was suppose to do. :)
