Walking by Faith

I must admit my thoughts were skeptical....will college students really come to a pumpkin carving contest? However boy was I wrong! More students came to this event than we've had at anything! AND everyone had a really great time! The best part was that we were able to meet and connect with many students and are hoping to build on those relationships....for the sake of the gospel!

The first ever south alabama football game! We got to tailgate and spend time with students which was fun....here are some pics!

Recently I went for a professional development day with other staff girls on different campuses for campus outreach. A lady named Colleen who was on staff in the 80s during the first years of the organization gave us some talks on different subjects and I learned so much! One of the talks she gave to us was on the subject of contentment.
Here is one of the most significant things I walked away with in how to worship God no matter what the circumstances are that I am in.

“Let me say I am here 1) by God’s appointment 2) in his keeping 3) under his training 4) for his time.”
-Robert J. Morgan in “Red Sea Rules”

Christ died to give us life and life abundantly so Colleen challenged us to remember in all circumstances to have the perspective of being here by his appointment, in his keeping, under his training, and for his time.

At a recent workshop we were asked to think of scriptures that describe what in life that you know for sure. The only stipulations were to focus on God’s character and how he relates to you. Here are the verses I came up with. It was a refreshing time with God if you want to try to make your own list of “What you know for sure”

Things I Know for Sure
Isaiah 43:11
Isaiah 43: 1, 2, 4
Romans 5:8
Psalm 73:25-26
Psalm 73:28
Romans 8:28, 31-32
Philippians 1:6
1 John 2:25
2 Corinthians 5:17
