Life Moves On...

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:14:20 GMT

Well I don't really expect anybody to read this :) I did not realize how long it had been since I updated. Life has changed in just a few ways :

1) I am a college graduate

2) I no longer live in Jackson TN - I live back at home in Louisville

3) Umm...I thought it was more than that

Anyway, I am loving life after college! I will miss seeing the people, but the new adventures are much better.

End of Semester....

Why does it need a title? Anyway, this semester is drawing to a close. With it is the last time I will be taking classes in college. WOW! Exciting things are on the horizon and with them I pray a great experience student teaching! Well back to the study grind for my three finals tomorrow . Hope everyone does well on their finals and has a safe trip home and a Merry Christmas!

Life is going really well. I just wish I was not so focused on perfection in everything that I do. I just need to pause and remember that God lets me do everything through Him! Wow! Now I need to go to bed and let Him work through a rested Allison tomorrow :)

2 Corinthians 3:1-6

"Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? You are our letters, written in our hearts, and read by all men; being manifested in that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ towards God.Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our aequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."

I know this is the second time I have placed this verse on here BUT it continues to impact my thinking and I like it.

God is AMAZING! Period. End of story

Never underestimate the power of an All-Knowing God :)

Wow! I know, I know I haven't written anything here all summer. Guilty as charged :(. Moving beyond that, this summer has been pretty amazing considering how it started. I feel totally blessed to have been home with a family that I cherish and to enjoy time with friends in the 'Ville. God is pretty amazing and all fulfilling even in times of want or uncertainty. Praise Him!

As I start this fall (my last year of school :) I am so excited about the opportunities that God has blessed me with! These past two days we had LIFE group retreat for the LGL and it rocked! It was amazing to read through the material and prepare for the freshman that we are going to impact this fall through the Spirit and Jesus Christ. I know how awesome a God I serve so I can only imagine what he has in store for my life and the lives of those I will ministering too with my LGP this fall.

This is a verse that we read this morning in our devotions :

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.
15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
16 to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?
17 For we are not like many, peddling[4] the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God. Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3 being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared[1][Lit served ] for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human[2][Lit hearts of flesh ] hearts.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.
5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

This is 2 Corinthians 2:14-3:6 and it just talks about our inadequacy as humans to handle things solely through our own power. It is so reassuring to know that we can't and aren't able to do it through our own strength. Well, I am off to bed before the start of another busy day.

So.... I'm a LIFE group leader and this weekend we had retreat! It was awesome to get to know all the other leaders and praise God together. It was just the break that I needed from school and my hectic schedule. I am so excited about what God is going to do for the incoming freshman through all of the LIFE group leaders. I pray that I am intentional in all that I do and that it has purpose! I am still working on stuff for this summer, mainly my lifeguarding course. I need to start swimming almost daily in order to be ready to pass all the tests required the first day of the classes. YIKES! Summer is almost here - I will be at camp a month from tomorrow and I am getting so siked! God is just amazing and is working out everything - in His time - not mine. Well off to write a gazillion lesson plans and get things ready for this coming week. Love to all! Remember trust God - He really is ALWAYS there!

Have a great week!!!!

" Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails;..."

~ I Corinthians 13: 1- 8

I am waiting for this kind of love to present itself to me...

I believe in God's providence and God's timing...

Any season of singleness is a GIFT from God...

Waiting... Praying... Longing...Hoping... Trusting...One Day...It will come...

Now...season of service...total...devotion...single-minded...whole hearted...

Focus...on GOD...Yes, this I will do....with my WHOLE HEART!

"...one of the main reasons for a lack of Godliness is prayerlessness."
