BIOLOGY TEST.    MATH TEST.

This has pretty much been my life this past week, throw in some meals and frantic journaling and that about sums it up. I have never had to study this much before, not even during finals! But what I'm studying I find fascinating. For example, water is a universal solvent, meaning that it can pretty much dissolve anything right? EXCEPT it can't dissolve our cells! One tiny detail that allows mankind to live, how great is our God? 

So I have an interesting topic for you guys-on friday nights I attend this young adult fellowship called The Net of which I am so grateful for, I know that God has brought me there for a significant reason. Well, this past friday we watched a video that connected Hitler and the Holocaust to abortion and it made me really take a step back and re-evaluate my actions and what I am doing to show the value of human life. Its called 180 Movie, and its around 30 minutes long. If you have the time please watch it, here is the link http://www.180movie.com/ I hope it encourages and challenges you like it did for me!




For the next few days the "prayer country of the day" is Nigeria and I am blown away by some of the facts regarding this country. 
Did you know that some of the worlds largest prayer meetings have been there?  
I had no idea! I also didn't know that half the population claims to be Christian. How amazing! To the left is a prayer cast for Nigeria, please lift up this country in your prayers. For more information here is a link you can follow: http://www.operationworld.org/country/nigr/owtext.html

How Are You Spending Labor Day?

I love Labor Day. School has only been in session for two weeks and we already get a break, how exciting! Unfortunately my labor day isn't as eventful as usual, it is my first away from home, and I am spending it by catching up on homework, errands and laundry. Later I will meet some friends at the beach, so that will be the highlight.
This morning in my bible reading the verses came from Job 1-5, and I just want to summarize what meant the most to me. First of all, the story of Job fascinates me, really. I mean have you met anyone like him? Anyone who lost literally EVERYTHING and right away, without hesitation begins to worship God?

Job 1:20-21, "Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said '...The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.'" 

This is the perfect example of someone who trusts God with their entire life, it is so easy to trust God when everything is going great, but what about when everything goes wrong? I was also just reading along when I came across this verse from

Job 5:8-9, "But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause-Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number." 

A few things struck me in these verses:

1. "...without number." The works of God do not have a limit. He can being mercy and healing even if we fall into the same sin over and over. God's work is still possible. It could also seem to be an impossible task, that is still possible with God. I am reminded of how finite my mind is, and how often times I place God in a box and don't give Him free reign to do the miracles and marvelous things that He can do! That is where the first part of this verse comes in:

2. "...I would seek God, and to God I commit my cause..." I think it is so important if we want to see miracles done that we seek and commit to God. Why should we expect great things if we don't offer God the least of us? And how can we know God is working if we don't know God?

So those are my revelations of the day, well up until the time I wrote this post. The country to pray for today is Mongolia. I am following a website called Operation World, they have a calendar to follow for the entire world that covers all the countries. It includes information on the country of the day as well as prayer points. To follow the calendar, here is the link- http://www.operationworld.org/prayer-calendar. The prayer information for Mongolia is listed below:

"Mongolia’s traditional religions, Lamaistic Buddhism and shamanism, have experienced resurgence since independence. Buddhism numerically dominates, but most do not understand it well. Deeper in the Mongolian psyche are beliefs in shamanism, traditional ethnic superstitions and even occult practices. Increasing numbers of Mongolians, especially younger ones, are consulting shamans for help with health, finance and relationship issues. Pray that Mongolians might find complete liberation and have transformed lives through following the Lord Jesus Christ."

I'm Back!

Hello faithful followers! As many of you know, I was gone for a while with YWAM but have been home for quite some time now (I'm going to school for mission nursing at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi). For some reason, I stopped blogging. I have no clue why because truthfully, I love it! Nonetheless I decided to start it back up again, and will be in the process of creating a new design/look with new content soon. Please bear with me through this process. I am starting a new journey in my relationship with Christ-I read the book Radical by David Platt (a great and challenging read, I strongly suggest it!) and at the end we are supposed to take our relationship with God to a whole new level and that is just what I am going to do! It consists of reading through the whole bible in a year and praying for the entire world in a year among other things. Yes, it will be challenging but I am reminded of the verse in Romans 8:31, "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" So this blog will most likely be based off that idea. Please join me for this journey! I will post daily bible reads and countries to pray for every day along with other random things and I am just so excited to see how God uses this experience! I love serving a great and mighty King. Please stay tuned for more!
