[Insert (clever) title here]

So, a couple weeks ago, there was a certain Supreme Court ruling.

I proceeded to write an awesome post about it.

Blogger didn't save that post when I tried to publish it.

I don't really remember what I wrote down.



...awkward....

Update

Ah, the summer is upon us. It's been a while since I've done anything, I think the last post I did was in regards to the dream for 100 hours of prayer. It's amazing to witness the response, and to know that there are so many people who long for William and Mary to be revived. No worries, the dream is still alive (very much so), but I'm still praying for direction in regards to how it will take shape. I really wanted it to take place in a single place, but it seems like that might not happen. MIGHT. I'm not entirely sure, there's still a lot of time for details to come together, but I've been praying about it recently, and I'll be putting something out in order to get the process started. So keep your eyes open for that.

Anyways, I was thinking about it, and another challenge of a sort popped into my head. Incidentally it also was time-based. What came to my mind was 24 hours of Glorifying God. This isn't exactly a communal effort (well it could be), but instead a personal one. 

Dreaming...

First, thank you all again for reading. It really helps to further process thoughts by talking to all of you. If I might not seem so excited/thankful, it's probably because I'm not good at showing appreciation for words of affirmation. However, I appreciate it deeply nonetheless.

Anyways, earlier in the past week (incidentally when I was trying to study), God reminded me of the Moravain movement. I don't think I can do the story complete justice here, so if you aren't familiar with it, look it up for sure, it's an incredible story. But, the general gist goes like this. During the 18th century, a group of refugees (later known as the Moravians) came together and were baptized by the fire of the Holy Spirit.Desiring to keep the fire going, they started a non-stop prayer vigil that lasted

Most randomly good day... Ever.

I'm still somewhat reeling from the events of today, and I will most certainly be processing them as I go. It all started around 9:58 last night, when my friend messaged me, asking if I wanted to attend a sunrise worship event the following day. I saw 'sunrise' and 'worship' so I was totally on board. Next morning, I got into a different friend's (honestly, more like an acquaintance at the time) car, not knowing what to expect, and not really knowing where I was going either. Let it be noted, I am NOT recommending getting in a car with a friend of a friend, and not knowing where you're going. It may not always end well. But anyways, we get to a beach where there are a few more people waiting for us.

We all stood on the beach, and watched the sun rise. It was a beautiful sky, not many things around to obstruct our view, so we could see what felt like almost the whole sky. Not a single cloud anywhere to be seen. Just... Amazing. It was all so simple, and that was the beauty in it. We started worshipping as the sun continued to rise, and it was great. After that, the man who lead us in worship brought out two rolls of paper. One of them was an old map of the College of William and Mary, and the other was a copy of the charter.

Easter! Woohoo!

I've started writing this at 11:25 p.m. on Easter, so whether you read this on Easter or not, I hope you enjoy it! This one will be pretty short, as it just kind of popped into my head. Now if I can just remember it...

Right, there it is. Think of something (This is not me talking to myself, but talking to you, just so that you know). Anything. Something, someone, or...uh... something (these list-sorta-things always sound better in threes). Think of someone that's important to you. Think of something that's important in your life. Think of what seems to be an insurmountable situation. Think of what seems to be the inevitability of things to come. Now consider this.

Getting back on track... (part 1)

I'll start this off by apologizing for not posting recently. It's been a strange series of weeks, including spring break, a broken computer, and an ultimate frisbee tournament.

So, with that out of the way, what has God been doing in my life? Answer: A whole lot! I'll start out with a few weeks ago during spring break. During that time, God really revealed to me the importance/uniqueness of college campuses. College is the only place where people from all over the world come together for a 'relatively' short amount of time (also during the 'formative years'), and go back out into the world. I felt like God was saying that the College of William and Mary will not be just a lamp shining into the darkness, but a torch shining from the top of a mountain- drawing people near, and sending lights into the world. Here is where I think I might've started to wander off-track a bit.

Spring is coming

While there's still snow on the ground here, supposedly the weather will warm up soon (if the science of meteorology can be trusted at all). Super excited about that, mainly because I really want to play ultimate frisbee again. More importantly though, Easter comes with the season of spring.

Today, the pastor of the church I go to spoke about John 2:1-11. This passage is about the first miracle Jesus did at the wedding at Cana. The pastor talked about how using the water jars (specifically designated for Jewish rites of purification) was not so much symbolic of forgiveness, but of sanctification. As this was the first Sunday of the month, we also partook in communion. Because of this, I was thinking about the relationship between this 'holy wine' that was Jesus' first miracle, and the wine that Jesus and his disciples drank at the Last Supper.
