Godsamovin'.

I am so, so excited about this semester.

I don't know what it is..but I just feel like God is really ready to move right now. And I'm excited that I'm gonna be part of it, or that I'm gonna see it, or something. I just feel it, and I'm so ready and eager.

I am so thankful to be able to call Harpeth Community my home now. Thank God for hearing my cries of confusion when it came to the decision of where to plant roots. I don't know why it had to take so long, but I feel like everything came and is coming together so perfectly. I'm just reminded of Joseph..he waited so many years before things came together and made sense.

I am excited to read through the New Testament with Harpeth. I'm excited to get up at 6:30 every day to read His word and to talk to Him...and then to walk a mile. I am working being more active, so that I would have more energy throughout the day..and I would be that much more alert and alive for Him.

I'm reading a book called Wide Awake..and it's getting me a little riled up..pushing me to dream crazy dreams. I blogger-stalked one of my sister's good friends that I saw had commented on her blog..and read a quote that I loved..it went something
like this: Dream and pursue something so big that it is doomed to fail unless God be in it.

I loved what Bobby said this morning..he reminded us that we have to judge in life, but we are called not to be judgmental. It kind of speaks to thoughts I've wrestled with..there is a difference being someone who makes judgments, and being someone who is judgmental. Furthermore, I can cling to God's truth and stand for it without being judgmental. God, may you help me to see what that looks like, and apply it each day!

I also loved J.P.'s encouragement tonight to die to myself each day. I recently read Mere Christianity..and one of the greatest things I took from it was this: I don't just want to be smaller, and God be greater. I want to be invisible..and for only God to shine. I want Him to consume ALL of me!

Yeah, and I also loved the fact that Zach Hackett lead "On Fire" by Switchfoot at L1 tonight. Sweet, sweet lyrics.
Time to begin school tomorrow. I'm so ready. And pretty pumped that I have two classes with my beloved Erica.
