Crazy test week came to a close friday... new one started up this week!
Y'all...how can I explain what it's like to have 13 exams in 4 weeks!? it gives me heart palpitations...
but I'm good, spring break is coming soon enough!
So Birmingham... pictures are at http://www.olemiss.ruf.org
It’s only been a week and I’m already forgetting the excitement that was stirred up in me then… isn’t that just human?
You
know, I just heard all this amazing truth and then I didn’t know what
to do with it, like how to act on it, or not act on it.
This
church family we met was amazing in their compassion for people,
suffering people, people who couldn’t give them a thing except
brokenness. And I just kept thinking, man, all I’m worried about is
getting out of school, making my hundred grand a year, trying to make a
difference in my profession, getting married, having kids, building a
farmhouse in the country…
You know, I just want to live comfortably and have time to do things that I want to do.
But it seems like every sermon
and message I’ve heard lately has been God unveiling HIS intentions for
my time and my money. And I don’t get it yet, I don’t know how to pour
myself into ministry and school and people all at the same time.
It seems pretty overwhelming to
add something like an RUF mercy ministry to my plate. So, I’m just
trying to go with the flow, waiting on God to take my heart to the
right place, to convict me where I need it, to keep pushing me that
way.
In the end, I just want Him to
grow this incredible desire in me to deny myself and live below my
means so that He might be glorified.
PS- I was the only female at
the conference without a North Face jacket and Vera Bradley luggage...
I had flashbacks to Parklane and sixth grade... but it was cool once we
started working at the shelter... I met some very nice girls... thanks
for the prayers
