Unashamed

I have not much
To offer You
Not near what You deserve
But still I come
Because Your cross
Has placed in me my worth

Oh, Christ my King
Of sympathy
Whose wounds secure my peace
Your grace extends
To call me friend
Your mercy sets me free

And I know I'm weak
I know I'm unworthy
To call upon Your name
But because of grace
Because of Your mercy
I stand here unashamed

I can't explain
This kind of love
I'm humbled and amazed
That You'd come down
From heavens heights
And greet me face to face

Here I am at Your feet
In my brokeness complete



I'm weak, I'm unworthy - He still loves me. What a great, amazing, astounding, beautiful God we live for.
This song speaks my heart.

i'm a senior in college.. when did this happen?

So school has started.. today was the first day of classes. I have actually been in good old BF for a while now.. I was here for Freshman Orientation. It was fun ( a lot of work) but lots of fun. Socializing with the freshman made me think about when I was a freshman and how fast time goes by. I have changed so soo much since freshman year. It is cool that I can notice that. It is strange to think how much i hated this place as a freshman. Now i don't want to leave! I love Geneva it is such a great place. The mission statement is absolutely true, they are "Growing servant leaders" and they do it well. For freshman (my advice to you) GET INVOLVED, love to learn, and appreciate the time you have. It's precious time.
So as a senior. It is really sad to say but I am not doing student activities. I am really bummed about it but it just doesnt fit into my schedule to be so busy. I am having a hard time not being involved in that way. But pray that God opens and shuts doors for me to serve in other ways on and off of Geneva's campus this year. Also as a senior I am living off campus. Which is HUGE for me because I LOVE being on campus and socializing. My goal is to still be on campus a lot and be present while I can be. I am living with some great room mates who I have been with since freshman year (so fun!) and we have a really cute house (: I will also put pictures up soon (i hope, i lost my camera converter thing)
hmm .. classes are going to be really great.. I will be teaching a lot this semester. I havent gotten my placements yet but hopefully soon. it is an exciting time! All i have left are education classes (and poli sci, thats not really anything to talk about though) so I will be focusing on what i am passionate about.
other than that, i think thats about it for my life update right now.

A couple things for prayer:
1) finding a place where I am supposed to serve this year
2) my decision to student teaching abroad ( i have to apply soon)
3) returning to Mexico as the student leader ( pray for my leadership, preparation, and support)
4) relationships ( that i could be intentional)

Thank youuuu<3 Be a blessing!

Romans 5:1-5

its been a loooong time..

wow, well life has been a whirl wind.  Like i said before, I worked at one of the most incredible places in the World this summer.  Summers Best two weeks has flipped my world upside down.  God is so good, and He is good ALL the time.  Hopefully I will be able to put up pictures soon, but pictures wont even do  justice to what happened in my heart this summer.  Wow I miss Sb2w sooo much.  I have so many stories and so many memories that I will hold very very close to my heart forever.  I am not going to share them on here because I love conversation.  That is just one thing i learned this summer.  That communication and fellowship is necessary in the world we live in.  Just reading a blog or texting a quick message is not enough.  You learn from conversations, face to face conversation that are meaningful and it doesnt happen enough. I would love to have that conversation, with anyone who is willing to take time to do that.  (:  But camp is hard to explain.  "Camp, is just camp"  so close to my heart because I was changed.  God used a little (well huge) camp to change me- to radically change my heart.  I was sent there to serve children and lead them to Jesus.  Of course I was used to do just that but what really happened is God used those girls and the staff to challenge me to pursue Him with everything in my being.  I have made that promise to do that.  I will chase after Him with everything I have inside of me.  

Here are some quick memories that you may not get if you you never experienced camp (again- i would love to explain them to you)

1) dining hall singing (yes I'm number 3)

2) GITC

3) Canoe canoe?

4) Jill bontrager at the ropes course (: hahaha

5) "Jesus is good looking" .... "I'm sorry if I offended you by saying you were hott Jesus."

6) morning exercises (rain or shine)

7) 1 million 36 thousand 800 seconds of each and every term

8) heptathalon

9) CAb LEV 3rd term<3

10) and of course.... ROMANS ARE WHAT? RED HOTT (:

This doesnt even put a dent into what happened in boswell, Pa this summer.
