Contemplating

So lately I've been super proactive about things. I don't really understand why I've been acting this way, I just have been. For instance, in two Saturdays I plan on going on a 3.10 mile walk for kids to raise money for missons. Not to mention, I plan on going to the Philippines this Summer. Now, I'm thinking I should take a break from Facebook. It's not that FB is bad in any way, it's the fact that I'm addicted to it. :\ So me and my proactive self is going to do something about it! I hope you enjoyed my little blurb, no matter how bad of a writer I am. :)

Listening.

As I sit here listening to my fingers type at the keyboard, I listen to my brother play "Super Mario Galaxy" in the living room. When he first started up the game, a pleasent sound fell upon my ears & then a obnoxious, repetitive, LOUD music (I guess) came on suddenly as Mario traveled to a different galaxy... I wondered what my life would sound like if it was music. Hmmm. So, here is what I'm contemplating at the moment. What would happen if everytime I took something into my own hands, what would it sound like? Yes, I can keep Rhythm. I know some pretty chords, and some pretty nice tunes. But if I were to conduct the music that represents my life, how would it sound? I quite honestly think it would sound out of key, off rhythm, and slightly obnoxious. Why? Because my life is out of key, off rhythm, and slightly obnoxious apart from Christ. (You knew I was going to do that.. You must have!) Besides being the Master over everything, he can keep a pretty sweet beat. N...

Future Pastor, or Ministry Leader {This One's for You}

I go to a christian college. So, at any christian college there is a pastoral ministry major and other ministry majors. Unfortunately, some guys sign up not knowing what they are doing. I see these guys everyday. I love the fact that they do indeed try, but if I were to encourage each one individually, I would call to their attention a few (but important) areas. Be Consistent Consistency is something VERY close to my heart. I love knowing that God is consistent. I have no worries regarding what He thinks of me, or whether or not I've earned His love for today. Therefore, it is important that you are developing consistency in your life. Now, consistency does not mean you should consistently be late, or sleep in, or keeping your habits of laziness. Consistency means that when you are hanging out with your friends, you are encouraging them. Consistency is a big indicator of your character. Although you are at war with the flesh and the world, you are relying upon God's stre...

You've been assigned.. 1 Corinthians 7:17

I am currently struggling. I am tired and weak. My heart is broken, and I am at a vulnerable spot in my life. Trust me on this one, it's not a fun spot to be in. However, God in his faithfulness has shown me abundant truth. He alone has taken this heart and comforted it beyond belief. I look forward to getting into the Word of God every day, because I know that if I don't, I'll burst into tears. Now that I've come right out and said that, onto a quick story... I went to American Eagle yesterday. I needed to pick up a pair of shorts (on sale of course) that I can wear to camp.  We all know American Eagle's marketing slogan "Live your life.." Well, that simple little marketing ploy reminds me of something Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 7. "Only let each person lead the life   that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in  all the churches." 1 Corinthians 7:17 (ESV) Here's a paraphrased version... ...
