The Adventure Called LIfe Day 223...surprise! happy baby...

tonight the SAU Music Department had their end of the year banquet. The theme this year was to honor Shaun and Jamie Tichmer. They are having a baby!! That is so exciting! Its a girl! Abigail Grace. very sweet name <3

The meal is catered, and we get all "dolled up". I wore the dress that I bought for Doug and Kate Wright's wedding. I actually wore it also on friday when I sung in lab. wow. i've gotten a lot of use out of a $16 sale rack dress from my favorite store, Dress Barn. awesome.

anyway, I've been not doing any homework all day! YAY! okay, so that's a lie. I did some homework this afternoon after lunch while Zachariah went to english class. I need to memorize Philippians 2:1-16a PRONTO! excuse me while I go cram these verses into my head...

The Adventure Called LIfe Day 210... know the word...

Phil Wickham. I admire this man. He is very talented, but also just plain real. He is a christian musician, I would even call him a "worship leader". His concerts are not a "show" they are an opportunity to enter into the throne room of God. Its awesome.

I was watching this video on youtube of him answering the first 10 questions on his latest blog. He answered a question, "What is the best advice you can give to a worship leader?"

"Know the word,"

wow.

that's pretty much it.

Its been my mission this semester. know the word. that's why I'm working my way through John right now. I want to know the gospel. i want it to be hidden away in my heart so God can draw it out of my heart when the time comes.

so. that's my daily mission. know the word. in turn i will begin to truly know God.

The Adventure Called Life Day 195...just hold on...

love is gonna make it right
just hold on, just hold on
there's mercy in the morning light
just hold on, hold on
- Hold On - Heaven and Earth - Mr. Phil Wickham :)


here are the scripture passages that I'm holding on to:


"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, ¹³for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

 ¹⁴Do everything without complaining or arguing, ¹⁵so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe ¹⁶as you hold out the word of life."

Philippians 2:12-16a

"With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. ¹²We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

I am a servant of the Lord and servant Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. This is my true purpose.

Just hold on.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

today is my Grandmother's birthday! Zachariah is coming with me to celebrate her birthday! I am excited for him to meet my family. this is going to be fun! I am a little nervous :) 

so i've never stayed up almost all night talking to someone. i've never spend time with someone that when we are together, time seems to cease to exist, and yet it still FLIES BY. three hours just DISAPPEAR! like a blink of an eye. I adore spending time with Zachariah. I also adore spending time with Jesus, and of course my friends.

trying to find the delicate balance of keeping in touch with friends, but also having alone time with God and just alone time with myself, and then throwing a budding relationship in the mix isn't actually coming out to be my most graceful of days...

Zachariah is an amazing warrior of the King. He is strong, compassionate, deep, godly, spirit-filled, dashingly handsome, and just so funny. I have never met someone who I have connected with this much. Its downright scary. I'm not even sure if I should be writing this for you all to see. Its a little frightening. I am just holding on to Jesus. I have found a couple of passages in Philippians and Philemon to hold on to. I will post those tomorrow.
