Day 14: Start of Spring Revival

Ashley and I with Ashley's parents

Went to Centennial Chapel this morning and the revival has begun!! Also, tonight I went to Ashley's church in Lowell. And Warren Haines spoke about his Haiti trip. Also, he gave us insight on how Haitians worship time. And it looked like a crazy but good time just praising the Lord! Also, the Tap-Tap is a crazy style of a taxi. Ashley and I decided that we should probably catch up on our creole. That was today.

Acts 2:42-44 "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. "

Day 13:Discovery of Thai Tea in Stores

Today, Austin's parents came to visit. We had a nice time shopping and eating at Red Robin. We also bought a few things and there was one thing on the self that I had never seen before in stores. It was THAI TEA!!! It is absolutely an addiction. I can't wait to make some to see if I can do it like the Thai place does it back home. Also we watched SALT on direct tv. I am really sleepy now and ready for tomorrows revival service. 

Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."

Day 12: I Started the Fire.

Today was pretty uneventful. But I was going down Burke stairs and skipped a couple steps because Audrey tripped and accidentally pushed me. We laughed about it later, but that was a close one. Then I pretty much slid my way into Ludwig on the slippery tiles. Haha. So had our bible study at lunch. We discussed about how we need to prioritize our lives. It was a very nice time we had. Also, I about burnt the apartment down because there way leftover food in the stove and flames were coming out of the bottom of the pan. Luckily Jen was there to stop the fire. Thanks Jen. Hope everyone is having a good week.

John 4:24 "Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being, their spirits their true self in adoration" 

Day 11: Watch Out! Where are my keys?!

Laundry room! 

Sneaking into the supply room! When Amanda left it open. 

So lets see today at a different moment I thought I lost my id card. Then I thought I lost my keys. And then the other portion of my day I thought I lost my camera. Now I have everything in place. Yay! Today I went to the Aurora Office and worked on stuff, then went to Austin's intramural game, also I caught up on laundry and went to the gym of course. So I am getting used to doing the whole running thing, hopefully I will be able to improve my speed. Well, I am brief but I am off to studying.

Psalm 119:57 "You are my portion, LORD; I have promised to obey your words." 

Day 10: Today was an Ordinary Day

Sorry not a really exciting picture. I just drank this Brisk Lemonade. I didn’t know Brisk made lemonade but I notice it today when I got my lunch. It was really sweet almost too sweet for me. I guess I just notice things like that being a marketing major and all. Not too much happened today. However, on my way back from classes I was just by myself but I was trying to come up with a new song. As in me writing a song. Well, I don’t remember any of the lyrics now but it was something about how being ordinary is great. Just like in chapel today, Ben Zobrist spoke on how it’s not about the fame. And told us about his testimony. He did a really nice job of giving detail on his life and how he made it to where he is now. It was a very inspiring chapel message. This was just one of the reminders to all of us how God works in many ways. 

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."

Day 9: Amanda is Cooking

Currently I am here in the kitchen working on homework. And Amanda is making waffles. And she did it! She made them and James is enjoying his dinner. Amanda is now a cook! She is monitoring open apartments so we are just hanging out. Ashley just left to go to small group and Staci is out and about with David. Other than that nothing much that is exciting has happened today.

Matthew 17:20  “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Day 8: Way too Busy

Mondays are the craziest days for me. First, my Mondays are always filled with roommate breakfast. I just got back from an ASC meeting and Christian Scriptures 2 got out early which was really nice.

Staci: "If you wear inappropriate clothing at Olivet it is like wearing a bathing suit to church. You might look good but you like a fool."

Ashley making some muffins.

Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
