To the EAST coast! :]
To say I am excited about this trip, is an understatement! I have been waiting and waiting for Christmas to come! When we were thinking about vacations we though oh maybe Disney again..or maybe Colorado or Vegas!? THEN the most awesome idea ever to the east coast it is.
I have never been to new york, or really any of the East states so i'm excited! We are able to fly into Philly, and then drive up to Connecticut and stay with my Uncle Gerry and Aunt Kathy! they are an awesome pair to say the least. they live in a colonial house by the river. So it was be memorable. I like to think of them as an old hipster couple that don't know the hipster isn't cool anymore.. and maybe a little bit of Cpt. jack Sparrow thrown in.
We are currently in the Valley airport! :] and our plane just arrived so i have to log off, but hopefully i will remember to write everyday on the adventures we have! ;] 3hr plane ride here we come! ;]

Read this today....wow
"The Dream" by Michael D. O'Brien, the rider goes out into the darkness, chasing a pinpoint of light, all the while unaware that Holy Ghost keeps careful hold, careful watch, and is illumined in Light.
I pool myself on the table in front of him to try and make him understand, which is silly, because he does. But I have come to think that metered words and breathed prose somehow makes sense of my tangled mess of being, that I have to explain myself aloud, neglecting the power of the sacrament of the unspoken word—things betrayed and conveyed in eyes, in half-nods, in unspoken prayers.
“He’s silent,” it’s more choked than I would have liked, but this is part of the unspoken revelation, too. It’s been this way since September, a feeling that God is abundantly present, a sense of peace in the very core of my soul, and yet no kindling tickle of wings against my heart, against my being, so that I am caught betwixt an absolute certainty and trust that He exists, that He saturates the cosmos, but these truths, this Truth, does not feel present, does not feel true.
And I’m desperate. Eyes betray, convey.
I fear the future. I fear that He has led me into a time of such profound certain uncertainty, that this ground beneath my feet feels so absolutely solid and yet each step forward into darkness feels as if it could be a step off into the abyss.
And I pool. I pool all this in mangled words in front of him and he understands, but I keep talking, because what I’m not saying is that I’m scared and talking about it helps me be less afraid. At least, I think it does. I’m not certain of much apart from Him in this strange land of exile.
We go to the small group, we discuss the Screwtape Letters. We read the letter about silence, about troughs, about how God only trusts His silence to some people, about how God has given a special grace to those who are in the midst of such feeling of absence who, despite it, still obey.
And I cross myself during Compline. I obey.
I put the whole of my being into the motions: blog posts, coffees, laughter, thesis writing, applications. I perform the motions. I greet the morning in prayer and close the evening the same. I obey. I choose the better when I am able, though not as much as I ought. But for the most part, I obey.
But silence. Feeling on occasion, as a surprise in the motions, as a breathless awakening in prayer, but mostly quiet, mostly no murmur against my chest, a Holy Ghost aloof in slumber with no kindling word to stir my breast.
We drive back and I blink away tears and make the casual—though, again, the unspoken truth is that it is prophetic—comment that God’s humor always makes me laugh a bit darkly, that He would break His silence to me about His silence by giving me an indirect word about it. He said it was alright in the words of Lewis. By the words of Lewis. Was it too much to want Him to say it to me?
I meet someone for coffee the next day and I follow a strange prompting and dig into this well of self deep and rend up the waters of this pain. And she tells me she understands, that this has been her, and there are tears as I suggest maybe it speaks something to what God is doing in her, through her, but I cannot leap from the grace I feel compelled to give her to give such grace to myself. Not yet.
We leave and I go to a lecture, I sit beside him and we nearly leave, but something unspoken happens, passes, and we stay. And it’s about writing, about people I love, like Lewis and Simone Weil, who say they were converted in their imaginations long before they were converted in their hearts, that it was writing that did it, that some author somewhere wrote something that, though not explicitly Christian, brought them to the Throne of Grace long before they ever realized it.
And I’m crying ugly, big tears falling like all the broken hallelujah prayers into my lap as I, like O’Connor’s Asbury feel the Holy Ghost descend emblazoned in ice instead of fire and I accept, though it scares me, this terrible gift of silence. I accept that the words will have meaning, even if I cannot see the reason and rhyme here and now. I accept that the reason I feel so acutely the ache of this cosmos has purpose and purpose that is rendered only unto Him. I accept the possibility that this silence may be this lifetime, as I accept, in turn, that it means in strange, brilliant moments I run my hand against the hem of Grace.
Yesterday we entered the season of Advent; we marked the day in which we focus our minds on recalling the first coming of our Lord and look to His return. And I stand here in the breath between Incarnation and Eschaton, with open hands lifted as high as I might bring them today, broken pooled prayers and bric-a-brac uncertainties, looking to the sky and expecting, for this is all I may hold in certainty, that Christ shall come again.
And today, this is enough. I step forward, foot touches dark, and the Light keeps watch overhead.

Life.
Sometimes i wish i had the boldness to just talk to people about Jesus right away, to have the Word of God constantly on my lips, forever sharing this PEACE, this JOY, this amazing-ness that i constantly feeel for MY LORD. I just cant even explain everything that i have gone through the cliffs ive fell off, the holes ive dug myself into, the rocks ive been on that Jesus hasnt pulled me out away and saved me from. he has brought me such joy that i cant even explain. I want the boldness that Paul had so MUCH. I need to spend more time with the Lord alone, i need him, i need his presence. What goes in must come out right! I WANT HIM TO ALWAYS COME OUT! every conversation, i want to give thanks to him, i want to love and respect him i want to help be a light for him, i want him to work through me. Im so scared that i wont win the souls he needs me to win for his glory, im scared i wont have the confidence. I know in him i can do all things, and that he is my ROCK, my salvation. He is all i need, my beloved my bridegroom, my Lord. He will work through me.
“Paul is the most free and untouchable person I know. “We’re going to kill you.” “Yes! I’m GOING HOME!” “We’re going to let you live!” “To live is Christ” “We’re going to torture you.” “Share in Christ’s sufferings!” “We’re going to put you in prison Paul” “Ok, I’ll just convert all your prisoners and guards…”
Why was he untouchable? The Gospel."

And I know that what He did was for me. His thoughts to me are precious, and vast.
He knew me, He knew who I was going to be; He knew my name.
Even before I had been born and came to be, even before the earth was a blob of ball in the dark space. I was there on His mind as He went through the most earth-shattering historical event that has ever happened in all of history and time, in all of the universe.
God, being like man, and dying on the cross for my sin… for me.
He fought against the very forces of hell and death to give me life. He had undergone complete and utter hell, just so I wouldn’t need to taste it. And He fought and He won—the victorious and risen King.
His hands bled and were scarred, and there was a hole in His palm where the nails had been. His body was bruised and scarred, His skin ripped open and His bones protruding.
And I never had to take any of it, not one, because He had already taken it all for me.
He took my place, He saved my life; oh, what a beautiful love, what a sweet sacrifice.
He knew me, He knew who I was going to be; He knew my name.

You make me feel....
man the Lord is so amazing! He has worked so much in my life this summer! teaching me patience and the art of listening to him. Waiting for answers and understanding what exactly he wants for my life. As a breakdown, i know i have been called to youth ministry, i have known for a long time but i also know that i want to bridge the gap between high school and college! i want to make an easy step to help students connect with good fellowship in the college system, i'm not sure how this will work out but yeah on another note lets talk about camp!!
LETS GET PUMPED UP!
The services at camp were AMAZING! Trammel Orr was a really great speaker and really hit it home for the students! Needless to say i am completely surprised by our students! They were very well behaved and hungry for the word. We were up late all the time, sometimes not because we wanted to be. Pranks were pulled, people were blobbed, soda was drunk by the gallons by everyone, Camp food was....camp food, the Holy Spirit moved, and students fell broken before the Lord of the Universe. It was seriously one of the most moving moments in my life to see my kids just fall in love with the LORD all over again, to find new strength in him, to find peace to find comfort, to UNDERSTAND all the mystery of what is God. It is seriously amazing! I love it! THAT....THIS is why i know i want to go into Youth ministry.
This past Sunday i was lucky enough to be able to speak in Velocity, it was my first sermon EVER, and i dono i think i did really well everyone seemed to like it and get something from it! Im so glad it went well because Sat night i was seriously frettin!...It was strange because i usually don't get nervous before speeches, just kind like a little woozy as i walk up but once i start speaking its OK... But this...i just suddenly realized the stakes of the kids lives that were listening, and if i messed up, i could mess up their lives...SCARY.. anyway all in all it was fun, i think i find it easier to speak to peers then to people who look up to you.. So much at stake...anyway I want to do it again it was a blast i hope Seth asks me! :]
All in all what a wonderful summer! I had a blast being a VELOCITY intern! with Chris. I learned so much! And hope i get to do it again soon! :]
Any way its work time, the Erika, then LASER TAG! hurrah! ;p
IN HIM,
Sally

sweet aroma.
The perfume that was poured by Mary on the head of Jesus was used in the embalming process. It was so expensive that only the very wealthy could afford to buy it. We are told in verse 5 that it was worth “300 denarii”. This is a year’s pay for the average worker during the time of Jesus.
Mary’s extravagant love was a statement regarding her value of Christ. She had perhaps saved her entire life to be able to pay for that ointment. She was probably saving it for her own burial. When she broke that alabaster jar and poured out its contents, she was telling Jesus, “You mean more to me than anything in the world!”
How about us? How much we love Christ? Is He more valuable than anything in this world? When was the last time that you have given your best to Him?
Mary did not anoint the Lord with only a little amount of her valuable possession. She did not use only half the perfume and keep the rest. She poured out everything. In verse 8 the Lord says, “She has done what she could.” What the Lord is actually saying is that Mary did all that she could. She went to the limit of her ability - she went all out! She did not hold back.
What about us? Will the Lord will say to us, in reference to our love to Him, that we have done a “few drops” of what we could, or half of what we could or will He say that we have done all that we possibly could do?
We read that some of the guests (Judas, as well as the other disciples) were so indignant with Mary’s act of love. They called it wasteful and said the money would have been better spent in relief efforts for the poor.
The extravagant of Mary’s love was commended by the Lord. Mary’s action was not a waste of time, effort and money; it had eternal value. The anointing of Jesus by Mary of Bethany is remembered wherever the gospel message has spread throughout the whole world- it will be remembered forever!
The same is true of our love to Christ. The love, worship and commitment that we have offered to Him will never be forgotten. It is not a waste of time, money or effort. It will not go in vain. It will always be remembered!

joyful noise
Your joy as a Christian should not depend on your circumstances. Joy comes from God, and therefore it cannot be affected by what is outside of you. Don’t be fooled into letting the action of others determine your joy.
True joy comes from knowing that God Himself lives within you and has fellowship with you, regardless of your environment. Real joy lies in the knowledge that holy God has completely forgiven you of every sin, and even now, He has a home prepared in heaven where you can spend eternity with Him. The circumstances of your life cannot change these truths.
Do not allow difficult events to cancel the joy of knowing you are a child of God. Choose to allow God’s Spirit to fill you with His unquenchable joy, and YOUR LIFE WILL BE A MIRACLE TO THOSE WHO WATCH YOU FACE TRIALS THAT COME.

clumps
Sometimes i think God talks in clumps. It seriously it can not just be a thing that the sermon, the bible study, and my book that i am reading all be about submission to christ.

Today we will be going to Agora, which is a ministry Gateway Helps out with in DOWNtown san antonio. It is pretty legit little place.

keep on truckin
So yesterday was Fathers Day!
I wasn't able to go home :[
but i did call my father at 6 AM and have dinner with him
VIA Skype! :] It was great! I love technology! With out it i would nto have been able to see my wonderful father.
On the other hand. I can't even explain how blessed i am so have such an amazing father. As i get older and older :p i continue to realize how amazing my parents really were and how much i can only dream that someday me and me husband will be like them. especially my father. My dad, Daddy, Daddio! Me and my dad are tight. I am most def a daddy's girl. He is one of the most generous kind hearted people i have ever met. I think for real i have only seen him yell like 3 times. He always tried to understand where i was coming from and always had the best advice. He has helped me so much through the years. I can't even explain how amazing he is and how much i love him. Im tearing up over here. But for real NO one can beat my dad! he is the most amazing father ever and im so lucky. I mean for real. my dad provided, he gave me everything i needed and some stuff i didnt need. He was my calm in the storm, he is pretty much a solid rock of faithfulness. I know he will always support me in whatever i do and he will always love me Unconditionally. I think about the Lord in this instance, and the hardest attribute for me to understand somtimes is the "father" everyone is always saying how he is our father and he is so amazing and how he will always take care of you. But when i was little i never understood why i would want a differnt dad, when my dad already did all that stuff as a child it was very confusing!. But all in all MY DAD is amazing and i couldnt ever ask for more.
Besides that, i am at b&n now entering camp applications for velocity and then gonna finish up my homework for class, which is due tonight at 8! blah. Its cold in here and i dont have a jacket :[ pooper. Anyway
God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.

Justify.
I am so glad for summer.
Summer means i get to be lazy
summer means i get to hang out with people i would have never been able to hang out with during the year.
esspecaily alyssa! im kind of excited for our friendship!
she is like the bomb.com and a bag of candy.
yes i just said that.
I also am not sure how much more the Lord could bless me with better friends.
Its like he hand picked (which of course he did)
each and every one of them just for me.
ALmost every night i have somthing to do if i so choose. I never have to eat lunch alone. its so great having friends that acctually care about my well-being and dont talk bad about me behind my back. I know that i can trust my friends with the things deepest in my heart. and that they will love and support me and encourage me in the Lord.. It is so exciting.
Right well again i am in class. it is kicking my butt. like literally. i think.
i don't know how to code data...i dont get it...i just dont...
people these days. i can't wait till july when i dont have to come up to the campus! thank you Lord! :]]]
On Sat. we had a car wash for velocity. It was amazing. we made a pretty good amount.
Afterwards i finally got to hang out with Ms. Audrey and Elaine. Which is pretty amazing. Well i have already talked abotu Elaine..but not audrey. so let me tell you waht she is like. Prety much a solid rock. she is happy and calm but crazy. She want to know more and more about the Lord. She always has encouraging words for her friends and has some mean dance moves. She is pretty much awesome im so lucky to have her in my VTEAM! like for real.
ANYWAY
im writing to much.
Illllllll catch you all on the flip side

to be
I cannot say that i miss anything my life was or would have been.
I am so thankful for all the people in my life... all the Opportunities i have been blessed with. I'm so amazed by the Lord and his ability to provide whatever i may need. He increasingly shows me his love and i can constantly give my cares to him.
It is seriously amazing.!
