something...

few things...

-So this is for anyone living in or around springfield...
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on March 31st at 6 p.m. until April 1st 6 a.m. Join the team!!!

-something else---Mission trip to...my house...(it feels really weird to say that) is rapidly approaching. Getting excited about it. For those who feel so led, prayer would definitely be cool. Unity in love and in purpose (as a friend of mine suggested) i think is kind of where hopefully our hearts are for this trip.

-Celebration dinner was tonight and it was a lot of fun. My grandma came down which was quite awesome. I love the time i get to spend with her. we talked about a lot of stuff. We talked about my favorite restaurant in Gibson City---a chinese food place. Apparently the chinese place (the best chinese food i've EVER eaten) just opened up a buffet. woot.

Don't really have much else to say. This was pretty cool to read the other day in my devo time---

"Reckless confidence for me is the unshakable conviction that Jesus and the Father love me in a way that defies imagination. It means to accept without reservation all that the Abba of Jesus has ordained for my life, to have the attitude of Jesus when he prayed in the Garden, 'Not my will but yours be done,' to make my own the prayer of Dag Hammarskjold, 'For all that has been, thanks. For all that shall be, yes.'
Perhaps the only honest measure of the recklessness of my confidence is my readiness for martyrdom. Not only my willingness to die for him and the sake of the gospel, but to live for him one day at a time."
-Brennan Manning

"reckless confidence"---
....i want this....
