It's almost 2 am..and it's my last night at school before the summer break. this year went by so fast, it blows me away. I am definitely going to miss my roommates. I have loved spending time with them; it has been a great year.

I now look forward to the summer. I'm sure May will hold wonderful things, then comes June and I will head to Montana to work at a summer camp. I am looking forward to learning alot this summer, and being challenged by God in amazing ways. Every day is a new lesson, i just pray i am open to whatever He wants to teach me.

I am officially a junior in college.

hello world.

So i've been thinking about things I have been liking lately, and figured I'd share:

1). This was shared with me as I learn about impacting and discipling others: love all, help many, train a few.
--->sometimes I feel there are so many people to share and reach out to, but I can't do it all. I need to trust God will use me in any way He can.

2). My roommate Hope's black-wedged shoes. I wear them way more than she does, and I feel I should repay her.

3). Baking!! I absolutely love baking! and eating it is always a plus :)

4). Being outside in the early morning (namely between 7 and 8). It is so quiet and peaceful!

5) The fact that we have one week left of school! this is crazy!..but crazy cool!

6). This video of Showbread. Wait until about the 9th min. It get's funny.

7)Spending time with family. My dad has been such an encouragement in my life!

and let me leave you with this:
Philippians 4:8- "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virture and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things."

today.

i have decided Easter is my favorite holiday. I can't even describe how powerful the resurrection of Jesus Christ is. It blows me away to see the power of the cross, and the power that God demostrates through it.

It is such a great time to reflect and rejoice in the faith that we have in Jesus. He is alive, and we have been made alive in Him.

hope your day was blessed!

14 people to be happy about.

These are just a few of the people that have had an impact on my life, and I know there are many more.


1)Dayna Christian: nicest and most genuine person I know.

2)Aimee Brammer showed me what it means to be intentional.

3)Kelsey Newton (Kels my fav) was my first friend at CBU. At first I didn’t like her. This has greatly changed.

4)Hope: how do I sum up this friendship? We are sometimes joined at the hip. Her laugh is contagious, and I feel we are alike in so many ways, yet so different; a life-long friend.

5)Holly defines the word “best friend”.

6)Dayna: I have never had so much stomach- aching, eye- watering laughter with anyone else. She was with me literally when my whole world changed. I simply can’t explain her in one line.

7)Jessica will reach the top of the corporate ladder before I do. But that’s ok. She gives the best stretch arm hugs, and we could be apart for months and nothing will change.

8)Jamie :) she was my partner in crime through a breakup. Her honesty and boldness were deeply needed.

9)My field workers in China: with barely knowing me, they sought the Lord and revealed things in my life I needed to change. They could see right through me and were open about it. I am eternally grateful.

10)Armando and Amanda Garcia: I would not have survived high school without them as youth leaders. Those Wednesday nights were some that I still remember clear as day. God worked, and I was changed.

11)Briana Wragg: my faithful cousin who I used to fear because I didn’t want accountability. I am so grateful she is honest anyway. It is what I need.

12)Garrett: who else would take all my annoyance and still build forts with me? I still cherish all the times I can make him grilled cheese like I did when we were young; the best brother in the whole world.

13)My mom: hero, fighter, lover. She taught me so much through her life, stuff that I am still learning now. I will always love her.

14)Underoath: their music blows me away, and watching them grow as a band has somehow impacted my life.

passion.

Nothing puts me more in my place that looking at the cross and the intensity of Christ's sacrifice.

end of story.
