I have come to the conclusion that to ultimately make everything else in my life fall into place, I need to totally just wrap around Christ and hold on with all of my strength. Everything I have. Not just 2 areas, or one area, but all of me...and quite frankly, that's alot to hold onto. :)

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that God will send a huge revival to Lindsey Wilson College. That has been my focal point of prayer right now. That He would send us a revival like none other, and that it would just pour out everywhere. I wasn't going to go to LIFE over some issues last night, so I went back to my room and I felt the urge to pray so hard for an awakening, and the service- then I felt like I needed to go back to the dining center. I went in, and people were lying on the floor praying- people were standing up, with lifted hands! It was amazing! Be proud of me, Wesleyans- I eventually got a good shoutin' in there. :) I was so full of joy I couldn't keep anything in. The service lasted 2 1/2 hours, and no one wanted to leave. God wants to start something here. I can't wait to see what happens.

I adore my friends. They say some of the best things and shake me awake 90 % of the time. Yes, if I do not eventually say something I will drown in my own regret (nicely put, Cherise.) But how to go about it, I know not.

On a lighter note, read a wonderful verse in my e-mail today, from Paul in the New Testament....come on, ya'll know it! Nothing can ever seperate us from the love of Christ. I love the New Living Translation, and it said it something to the effect of, "Will God ever stop loving us just because we have calamity and troubles?" No! Of course not. He knows His earth better than we do. The only difference is, we struggle with the difficulties of sin and turmoil all of our lives. But He can give us the strength to deal with our problems, to open our eyes and understand His truth and His will.

Ok, done with the short sermon....maybe I should actually do one sometime. Thoughts?

To all of you who knew Bryon Ballard- he was too young to die. I feel horrible living on knowing he is dead. He was my age- a senior, excited about college, just got his license. And now he is dead. My heart feels demolished, having known him as long as I did- I can only imagine what it is like for those of you who went to school with him or were family- I am so sorry. I feel like I should cry some more for him- but I can't, I just feel numb to it.

As my friend just told me, though- we should be partying! He is where he has always wanted to be. I just envy him that he got there before I did. Congrats, Bryon- you are now in the best place ever. The place where I will again see you- and you can tell me all of the things you have done, or been doing while I was away. You can talk Jesus' head off- I am so glad you loved him. I miss you already.

Rest In Peace

Wow. If you go to Lindsey, have you ever been in the chapel after dark, and just read and prayed?

It is amazing.

Going to Nancy, Ky this weekend- Awakening is doing the service @ Sardis...I am sure this will prove to be enlightening. :D

Have a good weekend, everyone :)
