I'm adopted :)

So, secret church was Friday. And...before secret church God was ALL OVER our day.
Becca=in front
Sarah+ Meg = behind Becca
Random white truck= besides Becca
White truck tries to pull into the lane where Becca is= Becca runs 70 mph into the median.
Her car =fine=God.

Then,
we drive again. And I realize that I forgot the tickets. So we get Haley to scan the tickets to Becca's dad who meets us at Arby's to give them to us.
Satan just did NOT want us going right?

Finally, we are walking to the overflow room. Not even the main room. This random guy asks if just us 3 are going to the overflow room. We respond yes. He then says he has extra tickets to the MAIN ROOM!!!!!!!! :) We were 13th row for David Platt :) :) :) :)
Worship=closest thing to heaven. Surpasses passion. I know. Hard to beat. But the fact that there were SO many different age groups just made me want to fall on my knees! *gets chill bumps*.
Then.
Platt Speaks.
7 hours.
142 page study guide.
Mind.
Blown.
My favorite part was learning about Adoption, and how I am truly His and not my own. Like. I love my family. As C-R-A-Z-Y as it is, but the fact that I am a part of God's most perfect family is just so peaceing. (yes..it's a word)
I really just don't know what else to say..so. yea.
Then I chilled with Jamie Beau and Dee Saturday :) It was SOOO fun. I just love them.
Sunday...I did homework and random stuff.
Monday I went home.
It was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now.....finals *Dies inside*
But...the Lord is constant and that is all that matters. Amen.

I never know what to put here

So...its been a week, and I quite frankly don't know what to write. A few days ago we had a tornado in Clinton, MS. It was pretty intense, not as intense as Katrina, but it was still the talk and still is. It actually did a lot of damage though :'( But it was cool because the tornado like jumped over this little elementary school. God is just so awesome. Who else could've done that right?
And at this time of my life I feel like God is really teaching me to learn to rely on His strength and that without Him I have ZERO. Sometimes God's lessons really suck in the moment, but He has His reasoning for everything, so I'm ready.
I don't really have a lot to say. My life is about to be crazy with finals. I go to Secret Church on Friday, so I am sure I will have a bit to blog on that about. So...until then.
Psalm 16. Read it.

Regulars?+ East Tower = Sophomore

So funny story! I just LOVE my room mate. She is the best. We go to the nature center to get the name of 10 plants, and we get them, and then walk to the elephant tree; oh the memories from elephant court :) It was fun going and not being a rushee. I took a picture in front of it flashing KT as I always do. So then we go to the guy and give him his notebook back, and he was like thanks and small chatting 'where you from/whats your major/are y'all room mates?' and so then he just simply says Saturday if you're not busy we are having a nature day with kids and would like some help! So now because of Shell's dumb project we are going to help out at the nature center, and even got Sarah A., and Wesley W. to come! Michelle and I think it would be fun to become regulars there :) Yep. Funny things college brings.

Then last night we had RA reveal night, and it was SO awesome how they did it :) It was like squeal day but for RA's. I loved it! I AM IN EAST!!! There are 8 of us wonderful girls, and I love them already! I can not wait to get to reach out to some freshman and get to know them :)
plus side- I get my own room :)

Risk the Ocean

So, I am sitting here...15 minutes before I go pray and workout with my friend Sarah. And, this phrase keeps coming into my head, so I think ok I will just blog myself out.
I put the video on, and briefly talked about this tattoo idea. But I think elaborating on it will make
a- me feel better
b- you understand how AWESOME I view it

"It's your love that we adore it's like a sea without a shore; we're lost in you"
I just want to be so lost in God that I don't need a shore to stand on because I am so trusting on God..so that makes me think what is my 'shore' in life? The thing that I don't trust God 200% on and rely on myself or something else that is not God.

Personally I like to be able to control my life and not ask for help, but the realization of that God already owns my life and that I am living for HIM and not for I sometimes scares me a bit. I mean come on, it has to scare everyone sometimes. Not so much scares me, but puts me into perspective of how BIG everything is and how LITTLE I am..I am NOTHING compared to the earth much less our galaxy, much less the millions of galaxies that God formed and HOLDS in His hand. Now THAT is a God that I am ok with letting control me then.
Not sure if that made sense. Oh well.

Risk the Ocean; there's only grace.
So the bridge aligns with the chorus and I LOVE that. Because I mean literally speaking a sea without a shore would be pretty stupid to jump into. But throw it into an analogy like David Crowder did about grace. I mean it is still pretty scary I guess to jump into a relationship, but the only thing there is grace. We are drowning in God's grace and it's the best thing EVER!

SO..with all that. I could happily live with that tattooed on me, but I just got one, and I am not quite sure yet if God actually wants to me impulse act on it, or do like this one and think about it for a while..hmm..we'll see where that one goes :)
God is awesome. Amen.

David Crowder Band - Sometimes

Resident Assistant :)



I WORK FOR MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE AS OF NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AS A RESIDENT ASSISTANT!!!!! :) I even get a name tag ;)
I am SOOO excited!!!!
So..big news about that.
and my room at Kay's house is finished! it looks SO SO good that I just cannot wait for my formal group to see :)

I went home Saturday and saw my room and it is awesome how much time my parents spent doing it. And i was thinking if my parents love me this much, then how much more does my heavenly dad love me! That must be a lot!
I am thinking about getting another tattoo after camp..oh..I got a tat just in case you didn't get that memo. It is a Jesus fish with a music note on it.
So, there is this song called 'Sometimes' from Passion2011, and the chorus line is "It's Your love that we adore it's like a sea without a shore, we're lost in You", and the bridge is "lets risk the ocean, there's only grace" and that is what I want. In the middle GRACE and on the top 'lets risk' and the bottom 'the ocean'.
I posted the video right after this blog, so go listen to the song :)
Just of how amazing and how big God's grace is. I LOVE the beach, and that analogy just moves me every time I think about it. So...yes. Praying about that..where to get it I don't know yet ha
