Wacky Wednesday

Ok, so I am sure you are asking why is Wednesday Wacky?  Because after the porch, I usually go out with friends from church, it's a late night and Wednesday I am all wacky because I am so tired :)  BUT it's ALL worth it!!

So The Porch last night was AMAZING.  JP has started a new series to challenge the young adults of Dallas to "be different".  (Romans 12:1-2 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.) It really goes hand in hand with what Addison Road talked about last week and JP just took off with it.  Too often we conform to what is around us, the cars people drive, the clothes people wear, hair, house, income, etc.. But that stuff isn't important.  What we have here in Dallas, TX, here on this earth is SO temporary compared to eternity.  Where are you going to spend that eternity?  In heaven?  Or in Hell?  Each generation has gotten worse at our "Pursuit of Happiness".  We are selfish.. but we are supposed to be holy and pursue holiness.

So as I said in my last entry, I got to share my amazing night at The Porch with my boyfriend's best friend, Jace.  That was truly one of the best parts of the night.  I got a chance to really talk to Jace and to learn more about him and to ask him questions.. to fellowship with him.  He has changed so much in the last few months all because of Jesus Christ.  It was such a joy to talk with him, and hear how God has changed his life and his perspective.  Plus, all my friends liked meeting Jace.  A group of us went out after to eat at Chilis and had a really good time.  Although it was Jace's first time at The Porch, I don't think it's going to be his last, WHOOP!

Still waiting to hear about tonight.. Either I am meeting up with one of my football buddies before he goes back home for most of the off season, or I am going to dinner with one of my best friends.  :) 

Until next time, have a blessed day!

Bonfire.   What began as a trash heap in 1909 grew into a massive wedding cake design, which at its tallest stood 109 feet, 10 inches. Bonfire symbolized A&M’s burning desire to beat the hell out of t.u. It was a task of a monstrous size instituted and executed almost entirely by students over the course of a near-century.  It brought to together the Corps of Cadets, non-regs, residential halls, men, and women to build this monument to Aggie dedication and fervor. Bonfire became emblematic of Aggieland and held a meaning greater than just the desire to win a football game. It symbolized the Aggie spirit and a dedication and drive for building something greater than ourselves.   Those who saw it burn on campus have said there was nothing like it. The heat and flame was so much that it even burned their shadows into the ground. Those who built it can attest to the sheer amount of strength and manpower it took to construct a project of that size and magnitude. It was absolut

Follow Me

 Follow Me..   That's what God asks us to do.. and as believers we say, of course we will follow you!  But what if he tells us to go some where we don't want to go?  Like Jonah being called to preach to those who will persecute his people.  So he fled.  And you know how that story goes; the whale in God's mercy gets him back to dry land; and when Jonah finally followed his calling, on the first day in his journey the entire town repented.. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to live in Dallas, 12 years now actually.  I love Dallas!  The food, the shops, the fashion... And since living here, I've fallen in love with one of the most important things, my church.  The people at Watermark have been AMAZING!  They've poured into me, encouraged me, and thanks to a bible study last March, helped me get over one of the darkest times in my life.  Helped me to receive forgiveness (:  God has been an extremely loving father my time in Dallas...  And even BEFORE I li

Let Go and Let God!

"When the past is still guiding your present, it also shapes your future.  That is way too much power."  There is something bigger ahead and something greater in store for you.  However, the past has a pulling power that can distract, delay, and even destroy your destiny.  Instead of giving the past power, give it perspective.   You must press onward and refuse to look back by destroying the bridges that connect you to your P.A.S.T.  What P eople, A ssociations, S ituations and T hings are hurting you instead of helping you?  What do you nee d to leave behind in order to move forward? Who do you need to forgive in order to push forward? Last night at the Porch, my friend Dave Sterrett, spoke to us with a message on forgiveness and letting go of the past.  Now before I continue, let me clarify it is okay to reminisce and talk about the past and experiences. But when your attitude changes to resentment, "if this would have happened then..." or "if he wouldn'
