Mars Hill

This is what I'm doing right now:

I strongly recommend checking out Mars Hill Church's sermon archive. It's extraordinary.

(:

Also, I'm reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan right now... Ahhh. God is so incredible. I could sit in a room and watch sermons and read books and experience and talk to God forever. But I am called to live in the world. (:

A Quick Update

Alright... I've procrastinated long enough. It's time for me to let you in on what's been happening in my life, and more importantly, what God's been doing.

First of all, "Cracks in the Sidewalk: A Documentary" is not going be available online for you to watch fora  while because Sarah, who made the video, is selling it on a donation basis to help raise some money for her next missionary adventures. BUT! If you live anywhere near me, you will be happy to know that on Saturday, December 8th at 7 PM, there will be an opportunity for you to come to my beautiful home and see it for free(: We'll also do some worship (of course)... And probably, there will be food. That's always good. Anyways, please invite everyone you know. It's a 25 minute film, really well put together, and the reason she's selling it is because people want to buy it. I don't want to hype it up TOO MUCH, but it's pretty rad(:

So there's that. Also, that means I don't want to spoil it by telling you too much about it right now. So.. you'll have to wait(:

Right on. So... Thanksgiving happened! It was really great- Luke came and had his first Thanksgiving EVER OF LIFE, which was really great(: Also, my dad's superfantastic sister, husband, and children came over, and they are a riot(: His mum came over as well. She's a wonderful lady(: We had a really good time together. I wouldn't even hesitate to say that was the best Thanksgiving I've ever had. So.. Praise the Lord(:

Now that everyone's gone, I've had some time to realise that I'm heading back to LA in January for a 14-week Biblical studies course and I have NO MONEY! Panic mode, right?! Nope(: I know my faithful God has something up His sleeve. That said, I'm looking for work(: I'm pretty much ready to do anything at all for money. My mom would prefer they be legal, but I'm not TOO concerned with that... :P (I'm kidding!!) Anyway, I need to be employed for six-hundred $5 jobs, three-hundred $10 jobs, one-hundred $30 jobs... You get the picture. I'm also really happy to accept donations, if you have some extra holiday money you didn't spend on Black Friday... Don't be afraid to encourage the youth to dive in to the Word of God(: (Youth being myself, in this context) But, like I said, I don't just want to ask for your money- I'm more than happy to work for it, so if you know anyone who needs a babysitter, house cleaner, gift wrapper, envelope addresser... I am qualified to do all of those things(: Please give me a call (and recommend me to your friends!)- 214.384.0052

Great.. there's that. So... Next! Prayer request time... (Sorry I keep asking for things... oh well)

I'm currently looking into Universities :o There's a major that's really grabbed hold of my attention, and I'm not sure if it's crazy ol' me and my wild heart or God and His desires for my life. Seeing as school is a big (and expensive!) decision... I would really appreciate prayers for clarity. (: Also, please keep praying for my family. My dad's health is continuing to decline, which is really scary for all of us. Our life-style is changing pretty rapidly... And.. yeah. Just. Pray. Please. Also, if you haven't seen my parents' blog, I really encourage you to check it out. It's wonderful:

Thanks so much for reading(: If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them. I'm pretty sure there's a button somewhere for that. Or, feel free to call or text me(:

The Days Are Just Packed

It's been quite a while! Sorry about that. We've been on outreach... Last week we were on the road, and this week we're back in LA doing outreach. I've been sick since we got home... Bummer. Anyway, I'm super tired and my brain is hurting a bunch, so I'm not going to write much now.

So much happened last week that it would be incredibly difficult to write about it. Luckily, we figured that would be the case before we left, so one of my fellow SLAMers (Sarah) filmed the week and is now in the midst of making a documentary! It's going to be awesome- when I get home, I'll invite you all over to see it! For now, check out the trailer:
