CRU Winter Conference /// Baltimore


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.

We were people who were rejected-now we are chosen. - Margaret Yu

A heart for the nations is not something you have. it's something you need to get. - Matt Smethurst

God is good.

Diamonds.

Happy Monday! God is refining us into diamonds.  He is making our stories perfect through his eyes.  Isn't that awesome? Zechariah 9:16 says.. The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown. It is amazing how much God loves us even though we sin over and over.  We must always remember to forgive our sins.  He is the way and the light of the world. Dear God, I thank you that you see us as perfect diamonds.  I pray you continue to lead us through the dark.  Please be with us as we continue to live our lives for you.  I pray all these things in Your awesome name.

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...
