A friend played this song for me not too long ago, and I've been hooked.

Crazy Love


A professor at BBC has been posting a good deal on the book, Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Doctor Higley has a great post summarizing what an obsessed, Crazy Love for God looks like based on the book.

Here's a look...
"“People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world” (p. 140-141)."

So Close, SO Excited!

Tomorrow marks the one week countdown to my two month internship to Mozambique. Of course the journey started months ago and has continued to intensify as it grows closer and closer! And at this point I am thankful for many things, including:
-Full Support for the airline tickets and two months in-country costs.
-A new Passport, good for ten years.
-Tons of clothing and extras to pack that have been donated to the Mozambicans.
-Loving support of my friends and family.
-Lots and lots of prayer support.
-A great group of interns who I've been able to learn and grow with.
-The Lord's ever faithful love and grace allowing all this to be possible!


In this last week I'm focusing on staying diligent and being spiritually prepared for the summer as well buying the last few items on my list and packing! Please be praying as I attempt to pack a good deal of clothing, toiletries, and lots and lots of extras!

Thanks so much for your part in this journey so far! Look for more updates soon as I get ready to fly out next Tuesday!

James 3

James 3: 9-12
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
