Sometimes God Blows My Mind.

Just the other day a sermon appeared on my youtube home screen for the first time ever.  I clicked the video and began watching.  Her name was Heather Lindsey, and I knew nothing about her.  I was a couple minutes in and realized I needed to save it for later.  I kept the tab open until I had enough time to watch the 42 minute sermon.  Tonight was the night I decided to watch it, and man does God place things in your life that you need to hear.  I have typed out my notes that I jotted down during the sermon, and I will link the video below.  If you need a Jesus pick-me-up, then please do not hesitate to watch this sermon.  It is truly amazing to see God work through this message. Heather Lindsey - Stormy Seasons: Trusting God In the Midst of the Storms of Life. It is easier to forgive at church, but we walk out the door and still sin. Luke 8:22 God tests us. In the middle of the trial, have faith and hope in God. God wants to know w...

Jamaica - January 6, 2017

Over my winter break, I had the pleasure of traveling to Petersfield, Jamaica with a group of thirteen people from my university.  We arrived as strangers, and left as family.  I journaled daily of our adventures, so free feel to keep up with my next few blog posts about the trip. Travel day to Jamaica!! {Airport, Accompong Maroon Festival, & Meeting Host Family} Airport - Sydney, Dani, and I arrived at the airport at 2:30am.  We waited for the rest of the group to arrive at the main entrance.  We all said our hellos, got our boarding passes, and went through security just fine.  Our plane was supposed to depart at 5:55am, but we ended up departing a hour later because crew had to deice the aircraft.  When we arrived in Orlando, I had a quick breakfast at McDonald's. Soon after that we got on our flight to Jamaica, and I sat by Sydney.  Flying over the sea was beautiful.  When we arrived, we went through customs.  The desk worke...

CRU Winter Conference /// Baltimore

Image
Winter Conference was AMAZING! It was the perfect ending to 2016 and beginning to 2017.  It was an incredible experience to worship with 1200 other college students. God taught me so much in those few short days in Baltimore. The speakers were great. I was reminded on how much God loves me for who I am, and He longs for me to seek His word and acknowledgment daily.  God was working through the speakers to preach the Gospel during every message. Sometimes I question God's beauty for my life, but then I remember His spirit continuously moves through me with the love and support that surrounds my life. I am thankful for the opportunity to go to Baltimore with friends from college.
