Babies everywhere!

So school starts tomorrow! Wow... It is going to be interesting for sure.
It is my last year of college... I am a senior, for those of you who are still wondering what that means. haha
I bought my 23 books for 1st semester today. Guess how much they cost?
$607! Can you believe it?
What a crazy world.
Tonight I also moved into my grandparents.
That wasn't where I was going to be living when this school year rolled around.
But I feel a peace about it.
But ya, here goes another year of my life.
I think it will be great.
It starts at 9:30 am tomorrow

I have been challenged...

This past week was awesome. I went with the senior high youth from the church I have been interning at for the summer (Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene) on a mission trip to The Community of Adsideo in Sellwood, Oregon. We spent the week with them. And it was flat out awesome.
How many times in the Bible do we see community being talked about? A lot is the answer I am looking for. How many times does your average church here in the US actually get involved with the community? Not a whole lot.
But this was a different story. This church really practices being the embodiment of Christ to those there in Sellwood and Portland as a whole. The people of this church have a remarkable desire to know people, no matter who they are, at a deep level of community.
This is what church is intended to be about. It's about being the church, and being Jesus the whole week! Not just for 90 minutes on a Sunday morning.
Adsideo challenged me, and I am stoked for the future. I hope you are too...

Peace and Love
