It's always an awesome feeling for me to look at the sky, and just realize how big the universe is. Wait...what do you mean I can't imagine how big God or the universe is? I can't...God can though. And to think that He always had His arms open for me to run to...that's a humbling notion.
"Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. "- Genesis 1:2
That's the second verse of the Bible. Our land was empty. Bleak. Dark.
I liken this to us as Christians before Christ as well. Christ breathes life into us when we accept Him as our Savior.
I wish I could return the favor of love that God shows me every second...
This is what I strive to do:
"Therefore, 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."- Romans 12:1
I love God. I want to serve Him everyday of my life. That's all I can say. I am humbled.

Real talk. Being honest..we can do that right?
There are so many emotions flying around these past few weeks. It's like if you were to ask me what's up on Monday, my answer would differ from that of Tuesday. I need Jesus. He's all we ever need, and He should be our happiness, motivation, and topic of discussion. I see some things that do not make sense to me, and I wish to see these all change. Prayer is key.
Campus. Honestly, I want to support everyone. I hope people know this. We are all here to worship Jesus, in different ways. Let's be little Christs. Let's accurately represent God as just, loving, and compassionate about our lives. Let's care for each other(and organizations) as Christ loved us. That is unconditional. I hope one day, we can all be one body of Christ at Wingate. Keep Wingate University in prayers.
America. Look around us. It's not right out there. I am not one to cry wolf here, but the world is a terrible place. Death, destruction, falseness. We shouldn't be of it. Especially as Christians. We should strive for better. For love, and Christ in His entirety. Our troops are overseas fighting in wars/conflicts right now. It's a real thing that they are dying for our American liberties. Here's something I am going to pray for: America. And our soldiers who are fighting.
Christians. As Christians, unity is a huge detractor these days. We have built up walls. Unifying each other in Christ, and in God's Word is crucial. We must separate ourselves from the world. Paul is my favorite person behind Jesus in the Bible (just in case you wanted to know).
" 17Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. 18For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. 20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." - Philippians 3:17-21
Pray for Christians. Pray for ourselves to truly look to God, and His word.
One last thing: Revelation in the Bible is a real thing. Not just a crazy, weird, irrelevant dream John had one night. My friend has investigated this extensively. Check it out: http://sites.google.com/site/final7years/
These are just the things that have been weighing on me.
And... As I write this, the Red Sox are 1-2. Thanks to the Yankees. Go Sox.
