Our need for His Divine Grace...

"God created man with a free will, in which he also enjoyed perfect liberty. Man had the faculty of choosing what he wanted. He had the ability to sin (posse peccare) and the ability not to sin (posse non peccare). He freely chose to sin out of his concupiscence (an inclination that leans to sin but is not sin). As a result of the first sin, man lost his liberty but not his free will. He was plunged, as a divine punishment, into a corrupt state known as original sin, losing the ability to incline himself to the things of God. This resulted in man’s absolute dependence on a work of divine grace in his soul if he were ever to move toward God. Fallen man is in bondage to sin. He still has the faculty of choosing, a will free from coercion, but he now is free only to sin, because his desiers are inclined only toward sin and away from God.” [Saint Augustine from Sproul's “The Consequences of Ideas”]

Latly many unexpected things have been happening with everyone... I have decided to not take summer school and possibly live in LA this summer and so inturn prolong my college career completeing a full 5th year victory lap. And I am extremly excited about it as well. I have also had some rather serious talks with my dear friends and God has led them to make some seriously exciteing leaps of faith. Wow big decisions!!! Well and God continues to show me, "I (the Lord) will lead the bind by ways they have not known along unfamiliar paths I will guide them, I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These things I will do I will forsake them." Isaiah 42:16

"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fullfills his purposes for me." Psalms 57:1-2 What an amazing picture in the midst of complete destruction, when everything around you fails and hits you in the face (emotions, decisions, strength...) because of God's great mercy we are able to approach him and he covers us with his mighty wings holding us through the time of disaster.

Man I really love the weather. I was walking back from the library about 6:30ish and it was absolutly amazing. And today the Lord has brought us the coolness of the rain. Oh the Lord is good to us! I finished one of midterms today and what an awesome relief to be finished. I leave for Glorietta New Mexico in like about a week and a half and I get to see my beautiful friend Sydney in her wedding!!! And I pray I get to see my family as well!

"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him bury his face in the dust-- there may yet be hope... For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love."Lamentations 3:25-32

hello my dear friends!!! I just want to give a shout out to everybody and this awesome verse I read today from Psalms 34:10 "The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing." How awesome the Lord is to his children to those who seek him. He knows exactly what is good and he is intimate with all their needs.

Hello my friends! It has been awhile since I posted, I probably don't have anyone that reads this anyways. But anywho life has been full of great times with people and lots of reading or great intentions and needs for reading. I feel very old these days as well, one of my best friends sydney is getting married on March 11th and many of my friends are graduating and it is exciteing, but man very overwhelming. Time truly flies, but our precious Lord is still the same mighty to save, and he is always good. I wish i had more time to write, but I must press on to do what the Lord has brought me to do. Love you all!

Praise the Lord!!!

"...But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present (reading assignments) nor things to come (my future), nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39

It was pretty awesome and now I know how to make all those crazy good salads!!! Guess what happened tonight? Well after I spent Christmas with the fam I got to talk to my friend Jenny in Chinese for like an hour it was amazing.

Well and just in case you were praying for me my car works now, thanks for your prayers! Well anywho I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas!!! If any of you are in El Reno come by!

But it hasn't been a burden at all, I have gotten to see a lot more of my friends Amy and Stef and the Lord has really provided. Yes well anyways my break started at 3:30 today and I spent the first few hours of it with my dear friend Rieko and Stefanie at the Union. Man the Lord really blessed our conversation. Now I am chillin at the house talking to girls and trying to figure out more ideas for gifts for Christmas.
