Pick up a roadmap, you’re going to need it…


Life is so crazy right now

This week I have been on two job interviews, had a new roommate move into my old room, had my birthday party, hunted down a set of mattresses for my new roommate, had my actual birthday day, stayed up till 1 in the morning on a work night – yes, it has been a long weekend. I covet your prayers right now. I’m being stretched further than I ever thought imaginable right now. Its highly stressful, but amazing. I can’t believe how God chooses to use weak human vessels.

I don’t feel like writing more because I have no energy because I was up so late last night, so I won’t.

God bless



serious and not so serious updates

I’m now solisiting prayers for all of us at my school who didn’t receive contracts for/aren’t returning next year: Elisha, Tim, Lauren, Sue, and me.

I love the prayer room more than ever right now.

My birthday is in 19 days.

I’m feeling all nervous about both my current roommates moving out next month – three new roommates for me come summer.

I enjoy scrubbing walls when I need to work off steam.

Leaning into God sounds so romantic when you hear it/see it on paper, but in reality it is a gut wrenchingly painful thing to do when you have no choice but to lean.

In the last 48 hours I have seen an almost conga line in the prayer room, seen a group of OTI interns doing the wave to a Cory set, and have gotten a “surprise, fly by, group hug in the lobby.

I watched one roommie fall and twist her ankle yesterday coming out the door of our house – I think my heart stopped for a moment when it happened.

I have amazing friends who expect me to be in the prayer room when I want to be there the least and need to be there the most.
