well. it's been a few busy weeks, but let me just say! i love God and i'm ready to know more about Him...

i moved into my dorm this week at Multnomah!!!! i actually ran into a lady who was a huge! impact on my spiritual growth when i was a teen. Laura from TCL. it was really good to see her. she just happened to start coming here also.

so about last night. I got off work, all tired but ready. I had already packed my car full of clothes and stuff, so i just drove to the school.hen i got there everyone was already eating dessert and mingling so i felt really out of place. i didn't know where to go or who to talk to. so i just wandered around and decided to find my dorm. well, i forgot the room # and my roommates # so i just wandered around until i got the courage to ask some random girl how i was supposed to find my room is i didn't know the #. so she wandered around with me and of course there were names on all the doors, and after about 10 minutes we finally found my room! and lucky for me, i'm in a room full of seniors and we have these cool new remodeled rooms. they have this nice sitting room in the center, than two rooms branch off of it on either side. and me and my roommate Hannah have one room and this girl named Julia and ....someone else (who hasn't come yet) has the other room. so we have four total. PLUS!!! as you may have noticed, i have free WI-FI in my room and throughout the campus!!! so i'm really excited about that. anyways. when i ended up in my room and i met the two girls it all sort of hit me that this was where i would be living for a long time. i was never really scared. it just got really exciting, and a bit awkward because i've never really shared a room with a girl about the same age as me. so hopefully the Lord will try me in new and different ways. Hannah is really nice. we have similarity's and differences. i'm excited to get to know a bunch of new people.

today we took and Entrance exam for new studants to see where we are Biblically. and i pretty much failed. i hope i get to know all the stuff on that test. wich i probably will. i'm really excited about that.

well. be praying for me. financial stuff is the only thing i'm really stressed about.


see you all later!

wow. it's been so long since i've posted. it's time to dust off this old blog page and update myself. letsee. i've been traveling recently. went to Nepal. it was quite a trip and i should blog about it sometime. i'm going to be going to multnomah the end of this month. i'm really stressed about finances. i got a puppy. his name is gizmo. he is a cuttie. all my friends are trying to set me up with different guys, but i would rather the guy come to me. it just seems better that way.
i was transferred to mollola thriftway so i'm working there. it's alot of fun. alot of different people i've been getting to know. i should get some cool pictures up here. that'd be great. i went to counsel high school camp a few weeks ago with my church. ot was really fun. and a little challenging. joy and emily, my to good friends are both pregnant. so that's really exciting. i'm learning all about babies through them. i'm going to a homegroup in scott and becky's house now. it's alot of fun. and........yah. i can't think of much more.

Estacada First Baptist Highschool Winter Retreat

Good Times I say!
Ok. Recap on my Favorite moments.

1) Yelling at Allissa to stop hitting ping pong balls at the boys.
2) Emily and Mrs. Commisioner.
3) The Beautiful views.
4) The really cold snow, and the fact that I had snow shoes.
5) Fellowship with other strong beleivers. I haven't done that in forever and I had been feeling Gravity sink in.
6) God! (should've been #)
7) Cleaning the Kitchen with all the girls.
8) Watching Jake get his exploder stuck in the snow.
9) Getting to know some really cool kids, that were just aquaintances, but now really good friends.
10) Last but not least, the spiritual growth of everyone there including me!

It was awesome. and Apparently my spiritual gift is Shepharding. Ahahah! and a bunch of other stuff. I'm excited to see if this is true. :)

anyways. God is amazing and He is helping me crawl out of the deep pit of "almost Luke-warmness..." if it weren't for my constant awareness and the feeling of urgency to get out. if that makes any sense. i Know the main reason for me having a hard time focusing on God is the lack of contact with Fellow Belivers. But slowly that will change. anyways. the retreat did it's duty. It helped me refocus on God and my friends. and it gave me a nice break from work. ahhhh, it was nice.

So, how many of you fellow Christians beleive it's ok to do Yoga, if your not doing the Hindu stuff that goes along with it? how many of you even know that Yoga is from a Hindu religion?
let me ask you a question.
If you decided to do yoga, but you told yourself, "I'm going to pray before, during and after the session, so that i can't be spiritually weak during the session. And I will not do anything that blatantly is Biblically incorrect." Do you think that's ok? Is it ok for Christians to do Yoga?

Good evening. It's been quite a while since i've spilled my intestines upon this nice screen. How has my audience been? Good? Wow. with my absence, your GOOD!

anyways. enough talking to myself.

I must say God keeps proving Himself to me. eveytime i give a little hint of doubt He always shows up subtly at first and if i fail to listen to the subtle attemp, He shoves Himself into my life making Himself powerfully known and ready and willing to use those doubtful moments as a learning tool. Like a really smart teacher who knows every aspect of His students life and He knows how that student coupes and learns. It's Awesome. I read in the book of Collossians the other day...and man. How come i never remember being so excited to read about Christ. It's like starting over and breathing for the first time. I find that instead of reading of Christ's life i want to hear how everyone else perceived Him. Like paul and peter. How they saw Him and what they know. Colossians and Hebrews. and Phillipians. My all time favorite books of the Bible at this point in my life.

so. yes. Thanks God.
