Long time no write

So I haven't written in a very long time and for that I'm sorry. (not sure how many people actually read this anyways =P )
I finished my 2nd year of College and am home working the Lawn Care now. I did have a 2 week "vacation" in Orlando Florida with one of my best friends and her family. (Jeni got married June 1st) I will try and post pics so you can see what we were up to=P . I hope everyone has a great summer

Quote for the week

I thirst, but not as once I did, The vain delights of earth to share; Thy wounds, Emmanuel, all forbid That I should seek my pleasures there. It was the sight of Thy dear cross First weaned my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross The mirth of fools, and pomp of kings. I want that grace that springs from Thee, That quickens all things where it flows; And makes a wretched thorn like me Bloom as the myrtle or the rose. Dear fountain of delight unknown! No longer sink beneath the brim, But overflow, and pour me down A living and life-giving stream! For sure, if all the plants that share The notice of Thy Father's eye, None proves less grateful to His care, Or yields Him meaner fruit than I.
~William Cowper~

(I just have to say that missions conf. has been amazing this week!!)

Quick Update

ok sorry that I haven't written anything in so long. Life here has been really crazy, and now that Spring break is over the semester is just flying by. classes are going well, the weather is getting nicer (hey all of the snow is gone!!!),only 6 weeks to go before summer vacation and God is still in control, what isn't there to be happy about.=D
Extension is the hightlight of my week, and praise God we now have a vehicle to take every week!! Pray for our church (blessed hope baptist) they have really been through a lot these past couple of months.
well my reading is calling

Winter fun at Northland

Valentines

"Rose from the Brier"

Thou has not that, My child, but thou hast Me;
And am not I alone enough for thee?
I know it all, know how they heart was set
Upon this joy which is not given yet.

And well I know how through the wistful days
Thou walkest all the dear familiar ways
As unregarded as a breath of air;
But there in love and longing, always there.

I know it all; but from they brier shall blow
A rose for others. If it were not so
I would have told thee. Come then say to me:
"My Lord, my love, I am content with Thee."
--Amy Carmichael

Singleness Awareness Week

and so I run...

I know that it has been a long time since I have written anything, so I wanted to put up what has become my favorite quote. To the average person it doesn't make much sense ( "and so I run"), run where from where? In Evidence Not Seen by D.D. Rose she points out that so many have gone on before us, those who have suffered and died for Christ.( Hebrews 12:1) They have run the race and recieved the prize ( 1 Corinthians 9:24). How can I give up? how can I stop running when Christ has paid the price and gives me the strength to run. Others have conquored, heaven is watching...
...and so I run.

"Must I be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease,
while other sought to win the prize,
or sailed through bloody seas?

Sure I must fight if I would win,
increase my courage Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain
supported by Thy word."

Northland vs. Maranatha

Brrrrrr....

Well we are in the middle of a really cold spell, right now it is -4 and feels more like -16 ( oh and by the way it is still dropping! ) Saturday will keep getting colder Sunday dropping the lowest. We'll see what happens. ={ It is an interesting sensation when your eyeballs feel frozen and your cheeks are hot .

If my neighbor...

Sorry that I haven't been blogging in so long, but now I have my computer and will be able to do it more often.
We are in the middle of Heart Conference right now, and wow, the first message started out with a bang. Tim Jordan spoke from the beatitudes on what does llight look like. I don't have my notes in front of me but what really stuck out was the phrase; "What if my neighbor had a neighbor..." and then went on to describe the character quality that we should be portraing to the ones that we rub shoulders with. So if my neighbor had a neighbor that was humble, what kind of impact would that have?
so what kind of neighbor are you??
Anyways I can't say it like he did, but it was powerful.

Happy 1st Birthday Meg!!
