Pastor John asked a simple question at tonight’s member’s meeting. He asked us to share about what we’ve been learning about the love of Christ. I didn’t ask for the mike – in all the struggles and wrestling i’ve done in the past few months, I just didn’t know how to articulate it. Oh it’s [...]

just some thoughts
Just some thoughts & quoteable’s i’ve been mulling around lately…
“Paul identifies [Phoebe] as a ’servant of the church’…. Dear ladies, peculiarly gifted by God as helpers suitable, heroically play your God-appointed positions in the church. You weren’t assigned to be corporately leading and publicly preaching, but supportively helping and humbly serving…. The church of Christ [...]

Roots and Pride
When i’m not doing “well, in a spiritual sense” (and one way I know this is so is by the dread in my heart over answering the question “How are you?”), that may be the time when I need older women looking into my life the most….
My inclination is to cloak or hide all that is [...]

what mercy
Trust only in God to fulfill his purposes. We are created for His pleasure – He was not created to fulfill mine.
Lord, keep my heart from valuing the wisdom of others more than the wisdom and counsel from your word.
Lord, guard my heart from idols, false doctrine and from forgetting the love of Christ.
O what [...]

Where I’m At
This past few months I’ve been hopping in and of “Spiritual Disciplines of the Church” by Donald Whitney. First recommended by Pastor John when I was preparing for the Czech trip in ‘07, I got it after a book shopping spree (well, it felt like that when I walked out of Evangelical with 4 books) [...]

Hello, College Life
While this blogpost title might be a bit misleading, I did not go back to school (though technically I go to A school everyday)…most people that I have caught up with lately know that I joined the college staff at LBC.
And I have loved every bit of it.
Forgive me for the cliche, but I have [...]

I Like to make lists {a.k.a. what I accomplished in 2007 & 2008}
So this was a list that I made on my 23rd birthday of 24 things I wanted to accomplish. There was no time frame on this list - its always cool to see what I accomplished and how God answered prayers. But this list shows me that there’s still a lot left to do.
Take a [...]

Just Say Thank You
Coming in contact with about 40 – 50 students daily, I have come to really appreciate the words “Thank you.” Though almost taken for granted, I really notice and almost become miffed when they are absent. I don’t doubt that somewhere in their heart of hearts they are actually appreciative of the small measure in [...]

Faith & Obedience
Faith leads to obedience; obedience eventually produces feelings. In faith we obey God, even when we don’t feel like it, trusting that feelings will follow. Faith is the engine of the train and feelings are the caboose. {read more below: taken from http://www.theblazingcenter.com/2008/10/faith-feelings-and-corrie-ten-boom.html}
Corrie ten Boom discovered the principle of the obedience of faith.

Perseverance
…was a lesson I kept coming back to my first year in San Diego. I was up late waiting for some work to finish processing when I pulled out the journal that I kept from that period of time. Even though I had a different blog post to write in mind, I came across several [...]
