sing sing sing.

First, and most importantly, God is so good. My heart is continuously changing and I am constantly growing into the person He is calling me to be. Not by anything that I am doing but by His grace and love for me. I am finding my place in Murray, KY. Over the past month and a half, God has blessed me with some of the most beautiful people I have ever met. He is building community all around me and providing opportunities for me to serve Him all the time. Something I have been praying for since I came to Murray is to be surrounded by believers and really get connected with people with are running hard after the Lord. Friends, He has been sooo faithful! It took me being patient, overcoming some fears and selfishness, and putting my whole heart into things but I have experienced first hand that our God is a God who provides! Since I first visited Murray I knew it was where I was supposed to be but for the first time, I truly FEEL it! I am truly amazed by how the Lord is changing my heart and building these awesome relationships around me. I am doing All Campus Sing with BCM (Baptist Campus Ministry) and I can't tell you the theme but I can tell you it is AMAZING. Eyes are going to be opened! I've also started doing a leadership study with BCM and God is really putting things in my face and laying it all out there. I'm seeing sin in my life that has been there for a long time that I didn't even realize and I'm starting to see where God wants me and who He wants me to be. I've started to really build solid friendships with people there and I can't wait to see how the Lord uses us! Last weekend, I went on Spring Retreat with Campus Outreach to Jackson, TN and it was seriously EXACTLY what I've been needing for so long. We had parties and worshiped and built relationships and learned more about God's character and serving Him. There are so many great people on this campus that are truly seeking after the Lord and it excites me so much. Since the retreat, I've gotten coffee and lunch with a few people and had some great discussions about our Maker. Community is springing up all around me and God is working in HUGE ways. AHHHH I am so pumped, friends. God is really laying some things on my heart, super heavily, and I know He has big plans for my life, I can just feel it! I want to make disciples of all nations and spread the love of Jesus all around! I am on fire for Christ right now and it's been far too long that I've been living the lukewarm life. I commit to giving Christ my everything and serving Him wholeheartedly. He created me, He loved me before I was even on this earth, He gave His blameless Son so I could live and be with Him. Ya'll, I will never understand this but I will give my life to know Him even a little better. I desire to follow Him with every ounce of me. All of my strength, all of my heart, all of my mind, and all of my soul for His glory, alone. I will not be content until all know who our Savior is. I will GO until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me. I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. 

THEN JESUS CAME TO THEM AND SAID, "ALL AUTHORITY ON HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME. THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS. BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT; TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE. MATTHEW 28:18-20
