I had lunch with God today...
We had lunch at Wendy’s. He was already there waiting for me.
We had a nice chat…but then it got down to the nitty gritty…
We talked about my future and about my past. We talked about today too.
We talked about what I’ve been doing right and wrong and how I need to fix those things that need fixing.
While the others eating around me just saw a girl eating silently by...
“A little glimpse of God goes a really long way…”
The Collins children make my life...
Anderson: “I get two tries and you get three tries because you are worse than I am.”
Hogan: “Can I use these scissors?”
Me: “Yes, but you need to sit down and be careful.”
Hogan: “And not cut my eye…”
Me: “Exactly!”
Anderson: “I have to go out the window!”
Hogan:...
Get Down, To Get Up
“…and so here’s the problem. Why this isn’t happening in culture and why it’s not happening in the church is because our world’s broken. And there are alot of people in the house tonight who’ve never been honored in your whole life. Not the kind of honor that our souls long for. The people in the house tonight who have never been valued or esteemed by the...
Well...
For the past three days or so I have rewatched/listened to one of the sermons that Louie gave to see what else I could get out of it and every time I’ve ended up in tears…
…I’m not a crier, God is just great…
“We are not exempt from difficulty as being the followers of Jesus. We are going to have just the same hardship that the rest of the world is gonna have, but we have confidence in a Jesus that said, “In it all, through it all, no matter what happens, at all times I am an overcoming Savior.’ And there is hope in that.”
There is nothing more humbling in life than you thinking you are doing something completely right and God showing you that all this time you have been doing it completely wrong.
My mother told me not to get excited about Passion…I almost punched her in the face…
“It’s not like God to keep us in one place forever.”
Oh; Russell has conversations with himself...
“Officer please, just arrest me and take me home!”
“No, we’re gonna let you go.”
“No! Please, believe me, I was going really fast back there…”
WatchPassion…everyone should go atleat once in their life…
WatchUnbelievable…
“I’m talking about those moments where you can feel God right here. Those moments where you are terrified to move. Moments where, instead of singing at the top of your lungs, you’re left speechless. Moments where you don’t want to leave because you may not ever get it back…”
Oh my goodness...
So this morning in our last main session Louie ended it by preaching. He showed us a picture of a logo for the Chick fil a Bowl that was on the turf for the game that was in the Georgia Dome. He starts telling us that since Chick fil a was founded the different agencies that officially owned it or something had been trying to change the logo, but never ended up doing it. He then informed us that...
I love Burgundy community leader...
“Some of you may have a huge heart for marriage. You girls may picture him with the looks of Brad Pitt, the heart of Francis Chan, the voice of Chris Tomlin, and the accent of Matt Redman. Then that guy is going to get here and you’re going to be like, ‘Awe, man.’”
“So the whole Passion 2012 will be reading Ephesians 2, but this morning while I was riding with Matt Redmans wife and kid and I realized that UK/British accents are the best. So we are going to have someone from the UK read Ephesians 2. Any volunteers?”
9:46
I’m in the car on the way to Passion. It’s 9:46 and I have a lot of mixed emotions. I don’t know how to explain it…
The end.
I’m a procrastinator and so my new years kiss got put off until next year.

“Man I always thought you would be at a big school helping save the world or something like that.”
Yeah, well, so did I…
“Dear Betty, I came to Wellesley because I wanted to make a difference. But to change for others is to lie to yourself…”
That moment...
That moment when you really realize that your all time best friend that you would run to for anything and tell pretty much everything to first is 23 years older than you and isn’t your parent… …I don’t understand it either…
I can’t wait to get out of this place…
2012
My first five days of 2012 are going to be worship filled. I am so stinkin’ excited. The first of the year I am going to be worshiping with my church family at New Hope. The next four days I am going to be worshiping with a group of people I know and thousands I don’t at the Alamo Dome in Atlanta, Geogia. I know that after Passion I am going to have this thing we call a “camp high” and I am...
