Long time no see :(

I am so sorry I have not updated my blog in so long!  I just have less than 3 weeks here in PCB and I can't believe it!!


My D-group has bonded a lot more since the start of the summer and we are in the midst of sharing the gospel with our co-workers.  None of mine have been faithful to meet up, so please please please be praying for opportunities to hang out and share Jesus Christ with them.  Tomorrow, we have our 4th of July get together in Seaside.  AND this coming weekend we have Mission Conference, which I am quite excited for! 



D-group @ Disney for D-group weekend!

Other updates!
God has been refining me this summer in many areas.  I have grown in my prayer life!  I love sitting on my condo's balcony lifting up my requests and praises to Him in the mornings before getting ready for my day.  I have also been growing in my leadership and dedication in my walk with Christ.  I am so excited to see how Christ is going to use me in the Theta house at OU this fall.  I want to be an open vessel for God to use me and to share the gospel more on campus. 

OU Kaleo!
Paul promises us this, "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." (2 Timothy 3:12)  No matter what persecution I may endure, the rest of my life I will not stop sharing what Jesus Christ did for me (and you!).  Jesus saved me from forever being separated from God, and because of that I want to share it with others.  If you and I are not faithful in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, who is going to be?


Have a great 4th of July!

Relationship Conference Weekend!

This weekend we have Relationship Conference!  One thing I came away with tonight is that I need to let God put love in the heart of a man for ME!  I also learned that it is not wise to give courtesy dates to someone who isn't a fully devoted follower of Christ. 

Another question to ask is "Does this guy have the same mission in life that I do?"  Another key thing that the married couple that led the conference tonight said is "There are times in a marriage where a man needs to know that he initiated things."  Girls should not manipulate situations...

I will try to post the rest of the talk we hear tomorrow up ASAP so you all can stay updated.  I will leave you with a passage they gave us girls :)

1 Corinthians 7:32-35
 ³² "I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. ³³ But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— ³⁴ and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. ³⁵ I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord."

Below are my Theta sisters at Relationship Conference tonight :)

Hangin' out at The Back Porch

I made this sign yesterday at work!  It sits outside the door so people can see it as they walk by.

Introducing CRYSTAL!  Crystal is the hostess I typically work with and otherwise I hold down the host stand by myself.  Everyday on our table tally sheet, she puts "stay positive" on the bottom.  Another cute story about this sassy lady... I was working on my memory verse (Isaiah 30:21) in our spare time on a blank receipt.  I left it up at the host stand while I sat a table.  When I got back she asked what it was and then said that she thought that the verse was just so comforting.  I smile as I picture Crystal after that just staring out the window just smiling and nodding her head.  There is never a dull moment with Crystal or as she calls herself "cupid". 

My Russian friend, Lana, who is a server at work is now my friend on facebook.  She is facinated that my two guy friends are in Russia and wants to see their pictures from the trip.  Now I just have to get ahold of them somehow. ;)

I made another friend today at work!  She is a server named Kelsey and goes to the University of Florida.  We just got to chatting and it was really reassuring because it gets kind of lonely at the hostess stand with no one to talk to.  She is also going to be a Junior and was really sweet.

Yesterday, we had Inductive Bible Training in one of the leaders room with about 15 girls.  We are studying the book of 2nd Timothy this summer and went over how to do observations again this week.  Afterwards, we had campus prayer time where we spent time praying for OU. 

Today after work, I was working on a study the d-group leaders are going thru with our participants (Connecting with God).  I found this quote that was so cleaver :)  "You have been justified before God, and now He sees you as "just-as-if-I'd" never sinner." LOVE THAT!

GOOD NEWS!  Sarah gets back from her grandparent's 50th anniversary celebration tomorrow!  I am ready for my "disciple" to get back!!!  WHOOO!!

<3 the girl that gets paid $8 an hour and yes is old enough to be a server, not 14 (yes, someone asked me this lol),

Weekend in PCB!

1st D-group date of the summer on Friday.  We played beach games like an egg toss, and relay races.  Afterwards, we went to the guys condo and watched Despicable Me and made giant cookies with ice cream. 

Saturday, we got to have a relaxing day catching up on our assignments and chilling at the beach.



My best friends!  Juniors at OU! 

What would I do without these girls?

This weekend also included some laundry, room check (resulting in cleaning out condo like CRAZY), preparing Bible study, beach time, church, evangelism training, and time spent out on the beach sharing the gospel.  This week I went with one of the girls in my d-group named Lauren.  We shared with only believers but it was such an encouragement!  Thanks for reading!

PRAISE!!

This morning I woke up to our condo phone ringing and one thought went through my head!  SARAH'S PURSE!  Yesterday, one of the girls in my d-group had left her purse downstairs in a patio chair and when she went back it was gone.  An sweet older couple found it on the 5th floor and brought it to the front desk!  Everything was in the purse, except for her phone, camera, and $24.  Sarah was just relieved to have all of her forms of identification because she is flying out tomorrow for a family reunion.  Such an answered prayer!!!  YAY!!! 

My sweet Sarah!
