SOMML (Stuff on My Mind Lately)

...well, as they always say, "there's a lot."

Second semester of graduate school is starting on August 30, 2010, and I'm excited. As of today (Sunday, Aug. 8), that's three weeks away...and two weeks from tomorrow starts cross country camp at Clarion University. I'm really excited about that. :-D

I have, maybe, one more week at The Clarion News, selling sponsorships for my last page, dedicated to high school football...yay. Ha ha. Will I miss that internship experience at the paper? A little bit 'yes,' and a little bit 'no.' ...but I least I can add it to my pile of related experiences.

What's really on my mind? God. My Saviour.

I was thinking about starting an outreach group this fall, either with Campus Crusade for Christ or with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). I think it's important to let others know that they are loved, no matter what they say in doubt. And, I feel God tugging at my heart to take action. Since I dedicated my life to Christ through my baptism, it just feels right.

I also feel more open to express my love for Christ. For example, "Revelation" by Third Day...or "One More Round" by BarlowGirl...and ESPECIALLY "Speaking Louder than Before" by Jeremy Camp. :-)

Too many people I know call themselves Christians, yet they don't read their Bibles daily..or pray daily. Why? What's wrong? God loves us and God has NEVER given up on us--we have given up on us! So, "Stand up if you're broken..Stand up if you feel ashamed..You are not alone when you hurt this way...Stand up if you need love..This is My judgement Day..You don't have to hide..There's no need to run..Everything will be okay." --Fireflight's "Stand Up"

I was like that before...and now I know everything is fine. There's no need to worry. If something doesn't happen right away, your expectations, then, it's because God is going to deliver it at some point; and, in the accordance of time, not right now, but later on.

Anybody ready to be turned inside out? Upside down? That's the kind of God I'm talking about! :-D The one who turns the plain into miracles..the 'lost' to 'saved!' Alleuiah!

Until next time...God bless!
