This past Thanksgiving break was truly refreshing. How wonderful it is to simply enjoy the company of family! How much I have missed them.
When I was driving back to school, I realized how much I have been missing them.
My family is so encouraging and supportive, it's just amazing to be around them.
They are so uplifting, so funny and fun to be around.
I am thankful for my family - God knew what He was doing when He set me in this family.

Dig your heels in...it's gonna be a wild ride!
Tonight, I was reminded of the fact that we are on a great adventure. So many times, we get caught up in the routine of daily life. It's easy to get bogged down and forget about the awe, wonder, and excitement of the first time we met Christ, face to face.
When we were worshipping God tonight at the Bro house college life group, God's presence
was so thick and tangible. His joy was apparent by the smiles on every face. And God said to me "dig your spurs in - and hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild ride!"This reminded me that this life is not meaningless or mundane in any way. I have a higher calling and purpose than what I can see with my natural eyes.
Life with God is a great adventure, and call to live in a radically different way and go on a journey with Christ at the center. I have decided that I will choose to focus daily on the plans that God has for me.
The easiest way that the enemy can steal our joy is by stealing our dreams. If we can't see the reason that we are here, or the purpose that God has for us, we will ultimately lose sight of the divine momentum in our lives.
God continually calls out to us, showing us the great things He has in store for us. Life numbs us to this realization, through wounded hearts and brokenness we reach for something more, and quickly forget what lies ahead.
We have a higher calling. We know we are meant for something more than what we can see. Let us fight for the dreams that God has planted within our hearts; they are there for a reason. Dreams are worth fighting for. Don't let the enemy steal your joy. More than half the battle begins in our thoughts and way of thinking. Let us set our minds on things above, not on earthly things - for the mind on the flesh is death, but the mind on the spirit is life and peace. (Romans 8:6)

Rise up and fight.
This is the day for breakthrough.
Don't keep waiting, hoping that someday, you will experience victory.
There is victory for you right now.
The battle has already been won - Jesus won the victory at the cross.
The Bible says that He intercedes to the Father on our behalf - that's powerful right there!
We are not alone.
Rise up, beloved.
Fight the good fight - intercede for the hearts of those who are perishing to be drawn to the Father.
Don't settle for mediocrity of the things of this world.
Keep seeking first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you!
