The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

it’s TRUE. It has happened to me.

oh I do love this I do!!

My God sings loudly over me #whatathought

Very thankful for the gifts I have…gifts God has given me.

I’m sitting in a garden chair on the lawn across from Safford Hall and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for my friends I know are seated somewhere in the hall.

It’s been three years since I first met them…three years. Yet, it’s amazing how much I’ve learned from them.

Fabulous people open your eyes to the tremendous potential available on earth. They open my eyes to God’s greatness and wisdom.

Sometimes, I think of me…the way I do things. Then, I think of them…the way they do things. It amazes me the kind of diversity around me. Different ways, yet the job gets done.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit… 1 Corinthians 12:5 (ESV)

Grateful for my spirit-filled friends, who show me simply by being, that God is big and his thoughts towards me are vast.

Till next time,

Peace, love and hope

I met this girl about three weeks ago…maybe even a month ago. She was really nice to me and complimented me on the essay I had read out at the award ceremony we had just come from.

Over the next few weeks, she said hello to me in the campus center; asked me how I was doing.

I just found out this girl is graduating!

But I learned something from her within such a short time: The world needs nice, warm people.

I appreciate all her kind words and “hellos.” If she made such an impression on me then I can definitely influence someone—say hello and let the person know someone cares.

Dearest Melissa, Thank you and all the best in life!

I learned about the Eucharist today; The celebration Jesus asked us to observe in memory of Him.

He said, As often as you eat it, do it in remembrance of me.

Remembrance of me.

The Eucharist is a constant reminder of the grace that has already been poured out. It reminds us that a lover died in our place many years ago; that a life was shed for ours.

The right posture towards the Eucharist involves remembering.

Jesus died for you once. It is finished.

Live freely Beloved.

2. I found my ipod through God’s help! Last week, I lost my ipod and I had prayed about it. So I asked the Holy Spirit today, ” Why haven’t I found my ipod?”

Then he led me to one of my drawers and somehow I saw my ipod in an unexpected place-inside one of my binders! God is faithful.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things…

John 15:26, ESV
