Good Reads!!!

So I know not all of you like reading, but I HAVE to recommend a book to you all. I know Katie Kups has already read it.
It's called "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller.

Pretty much all of his books are rad. I'm almost done with this one and it has seriously opened my eyes to SOOO much! I don't really know how to explain what kind of book it is...it's just the author..talking. It's about God obviously, but what it means to have relationship with Him and how that's what it's all about. How everything is relational, not formulaic. It talks about a million other things too. aahh!! It's just super super good!! I really think you should all read it.
FOR REAL!
I might post a little part of the book on here sometime, but I don't have time at the moment.

KTizz, back me up and tell them how good this book is.
hahaha

Ok, ok. I know I've been asking for prayer for this for a long time now, but I still need it!
I found out I got a scholarship to Multnomah the other day. It's not a full ride or anything, but comparing Multnomah to WSUV after all the scholarships and financial aid stuff, they'll be about the same price.

So now comes the decision making.
My favorite thing to do.

Right now, I'm leaning towards going to Multnomah for a year and reevaluating from there.

So yeah, if you could be praying for direction and for me to be hearing God's voice in this. I know that wherever I go God has amazing things in store for me, so I'm honestly not very worried about it. I'm just the kind of person that when I do something, I want to do it right.

I've also just had a lot of stuff on my mind recently so prayer for clarity...idk how to explain it. blahhh yeah....idk haha

thanks peeps.

Tomorrow....

Yello Kittens!

Here are somethings to be reminded about and gathered! :)

***March is our month of giving for Shared Hope International. After last Wednesday, we have raised $300.45 toward our goal of $3,300. We are on our way!

Remember, even pennies add up!! Anything helps! :)

Also, doing for others was our focus for this month. I pray this hasn't been a chore for any of you but has become more of a way of life..I know most of you already do this, but maybe its in a new way that makes u step out of ur box..

Tomorrow night teaching will be from Galatians 4:12-20.
In this section, after Paul reminds them of their close relationship they shared, he tries to help them see the deception other teachers are pushing and his pain-inducing faithfulness to them. Our ministry theme verse is in this section (4:19). The focus of my teaching will be on the deception they were under attack with and the faithfulness Paul had toward them.

Discussion questions will be along the lines of these:
**Who/what is trying to deceive you?
**Which friends do you see being tricked/deceived away from God?
**What would it look like for you to remain a faithful friend, like Paul, to those **who are being pulled away?
**Who are the people in your life that have stuck with you through thick and thin?
**Who are you sticking by?

Think on these questions so your minds will be ready for tomorrow night! :)

Ladies...I posted something up on my personal blog..if you get a chance check it out... Also, here are some verses I think will help carry you this week:

The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure: then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. JAMES 3:17-18

A heart @ peace gives life to the body. PROVERBS 14:30

The Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! ISAIAH 30:18

Jesus said, "Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." MATTHEW 28:20

"Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear," says the Lord. ISAIAH 65:24

Jesus said, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."MATTHEW 21:22

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37:4

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know," says the Lord. JEREMIAH 33:3

:/

Pray for Heather and her family if you think about it.
