"God does not look at how fervently we preach the gospel or how willingly we suffer for Him; He looks to see how obedient we are. God's kingdom begins when there is an absolute obedience to God - no voicing of opinion, no presenting of reasonings, no murmuring, no reviling... Wherever there is a church on this earth who truly obeys God's authority, there is the testimony of the Kingdom and there Satan is defeated. Satan is not afraid of our work so long as we act on the principle of rebellion. He only laughs in secret when we do things according to our own thoughts."

Nothing major to report... sorry there hasn't been much "activity" on here lately!
Spring Weekend was WONDERFUL! I co-led a group of 10th grade girls. It was so much fun! I loooove them. And God did some amazing things in not only their hearts, but all of 249. I truly believe that God spoke powerfully through Luke Johnson and stirred in a lot of the hearts this weekend. Can't wait to see the fruits of this!
School's been going good. I have, like, so much time. It's pretty ridiculous. I mean, last semester I didn't feel busy, but I feel, like, the opposite of busy now. I guess school will escalate more, but I had my homework done for tomorrow all done on Monday. So I'm just trying to learn how to use my time wisely, and take advantage of this as time to spend more time with the Lord and pray more and be intentional with my time. Today I did take a little nap... but I think that naps every once in a while are okay ;).
Lifegroup tonight was SO GOOD!! I'm absolutely loving being more directly involved in LG. David, Sarah, Joey and I meet at their house on Monday nights and pray and worship together and then plan, and the planning meeting alone is always so good (and of course lots of fun :). And tonight, Kelly came (the one who we met randomly on campus and came to the Matthew Party last Tuesday)!! She seems so excited about all of this. It's super encouraging.
Anyways, nothing major to report :). World Mandate is this weekend; I'm really excited, but I totally don't know what to expect. Whenever I ask people, they always just say, "It's just AMAZING!!!!", haha. So it better be good ;). Just kidding. I'm sure it will be wonderful. I may even get to see Andrew a little (it's in Waco). :)
Alrighty, I'm going to try to go to bed right now so I can be ready to attack my "busy day" tomorrow! Later loves.
Hey Molly: Thanks for the update re: your "busy" life. Did you get the book you needed, hope so. Redeeming the time I'm so happy and of course proud of you. Keep it up. I know God will show up this weekend and He will speak to you. Praying for you.
