Sunday Snowed in- NOT

So yesterday Michelle and I woke up, walked to Kroger (in 30 degree weather), and made eggs and bacon in the dorm. With a plastic spoon, as in, NO SPATULA.
So, the day goes on, we do nothing. literally.
SO that night, there is this sticky man attached to our ceiling and tried to get him down. Probably ONE of the funniest things my friends and I have done. It's one of those be there moments.
Today we walked to Shipleys and Kroger and now doing NOTHING. it's beautiful.
School was canceled for the ice....COME ON SNOW.
OH, and last night we made over 30 videos for friends and family. I love the bond in my friends.
HANNA SPORK is the coolest person ever. no really. if you don't know her, you really should.
I don't think my MC experience would be the same without her and her wonderful room mate.
Not a joke.
MICHELLE..my bestie and roomie. I don't really know where to start with her.
At passion they said 'think of your middle school BFF' I thought of her. and Andy said now think about them running passion, and that is what happened to Louie and Andy. Everyone of-course laughs and I just am like well..she's my room mate at school :) no one else can EVER say that, and say they are doing wonderful. I am SOOO thankful for that.
tis all.

Passion 2011-what I learned?

Passion 2011-22000 college aged people in the name of Jesus. How powerful.

This is my blog about what I learned. So I am sorry it's so long, I am just looking at my notes typing pretty much.

It's a lot for 4 days ok!






Beth Moore's main session was pretty good. She talked about renewals of our minds. How a stronghold is something pretending to have more power over God.
Beth Moore breakout-amazing. Stepping on some toes here.
She talked about desires-loving God with our heart. There were 6 things.
1-Nothing dictates our LOVES like our DESIRES.
2-Beneath the desire of our heart, is the heart of our desires.
3- Delighting in God makes our truest desires inevitable.
inevitable- unable to avoid.
When you believe that God is over Satan, he falls like lightening from heaven.
WE DID IT!
FUNNY STORY- one time beth was walking to a chris tomlin, was so overcome by the spirit, she stopped in the middle of the street and played air guitar!! NO LIE. i almost peed my pants.
I want that kind of joy for God to not even care.
4- Nothing eternal cal steal our right to delight.
these 3 things 'take a bite out of our delight'
J-ealousy
A-nger
W-worry
5- To make room for delight, we've got to commit.
6- Patiently waiting for desire to turn into delight, is not PASSIVE.

Francis Chan talked about our lives being the same as the gospel.
I actually drew a balance beam in my notes; he said that our lives and God needs to be at the same level, not us above God.
-Can people look at me and know that I believe in hell? powerful.
-Can people look at me and see that I have been saved from that hell? matt. 25

Andy Stanley- He talked about appetites.
How they will rule me or I will rule it.
3 things to know:
1- God created them; sin distorted them.
2- Appetites are never fully and finally satisfied.
3- Your appetites always whisper NOW and never LATER.

So he talked about Genesis 25 Jacob and Esau. Go read it. I write a lot.

Ben Stuart break out set perfect after andy stanley. Andy talked a lot about sin, and Ben finished about being forgiven about it.
That we are fighting for holiness.
WE ARE FREE.

JOHN PIPER WARNING: LOTS OF NOTES ON THIS ONE.
Do you feel more loved of God when He makes more of you or because He enables you to make most of Him? that is his question.
So....God needs to be the bottom of our joy because HE IS the foundation. I drew a physical fountain because 'all my fountains are in You' so God is the fountain and my joy is the water spewing out.

New birth isn't having the same meal with a different butler. Having the same deepest desires after you meet Jesus isn't it.

Why in the bible does God perform love acts in a way to make the most of Himself.

7 ways that God makes much of you

1- by being pleased with us through Jesus.
2- making us fellow heirs with Jesus who owns ALL things.
3- by having us sit at tables when Jesus returns, and He serves us-like a slave.
4- appointing us to carryout the judgment of angels.
5- ascribing values and rejoicing over us as His possession.
6-granting me to sit with Christ on His throne.
SELF CAN NOT SATISFY A HEART MADE FOR GOD.
7- God loves me.

Louie Giglio- I didn't take notes but I just remember a main point.
When we go back home, we will say 'oh john piper rocked', but no...JESUS DID. Do we have it to stand up for Him to say He showed up and and showed out because He really did.

Go center- 22,000 college kids raised over ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
there is Jesus for ya.

Watching that many people worship the name of Jesus. That was just as wonderful.
That's what I learned. What I actually gained will come later.
