Baptism Service

Today I was able to witness my "little sister" being baptized. It was truly and remarkably beautiful.

Murder, we have

No sane person  would actually admit to committing murder. Of course not! It's inhumane, it's illegal, and it's downright ugly. But I want to talk about a different kind of murder. When we sin, we murder. We murder ourselves with lies that we aren't good enough for God to love. We murder each other with our words, our actions, and our greed. We even murder our bodies into starvation, exhaustion, impatience, and thought. So my question is- how do we stop murder and start living?

I am blessed!!!

I am blessed by too many things to count. Fun nights out (like B-Dubs with old and new friends) long chats with friends, being able to give, being complimented by a 6 year old, free stuff!, laughter.    :)

Wow, God, You are an Incredible Creator!

Today in my developmental psychology class we were learning about conception and growth of a newborn. The whole process is fascinating. If god doesn't exist, how can he take something so small and make it so complex and fragile, but to grow strong and unique in such short time? Our fingerprints, our heartbeats, our sex can be detected so early. Even hours after conception, cells divide. Hours! Not days or weeks or months. I got to thinking about how much I favor pro-life. I think about all the people who support abortion and the so called "morning after pill"and it breaks me apart. How can anyone disturb something so alive? How can anyone call the creation of new life a mistake?-like throwing out a batch of bad cookies. Someday when I get to Heaven, I'll get to see those millions of faces. But for now, I wish I could see them alive and changing the world.

First Day Flutters and Changing of Seasons

Well, the first day of my junior year in college is almost over. I'm sitting here wanting to get up and pace again but I shall refrain. See, my life is seemingly simpler this time around. My classes are interesting, my townhouse is great, and I'm being told I'm not so shy anymore. I'm tired though. I can't go to sleep because I have a hall meeting at 9:30. It's like my day doesn't end, but I'm not angry about it like I would've been in the past. Today, nothing has worked in my favor. My door key wouldn't work, the whole campus is sold out of day planners, and I had to watch a depressing movie in class. Yet, I have peace that I would never be able to obtain on my own. Last year on this day I started crying and didn't stop. I keep telling myself that despite bad events of the past, I can start new. I will be okay, and I will have peace no matter what because my God is faithful.
