HE>i
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is John 3:30, “He must become greater, I must become less.” Which I guess is a no brainer since my blog is titled “John 3:30.” Anyways, the other day I came across a website titled HE>i (which for people who don’t know math symbols means HE is greater than i). This obviously caught my eye so I looked around the website. This...

Learning to play the guitar!
So one of my Christmas presents this year was suppose to be a new bike, which I was sooo excited about. But, the more I got thinking about it, the more I didn’t know if I would really get good use out of it. I love biking but I love running more and as I’m starting to work out again because of weather, it’s easier & cheaper to just have a good set of running shoes and...
I LOVE JESUS! :)
Avon Walk For Breast Cancer
For the past couple years my mom has wanted to do the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer but has never committed to it because of the money you have to raise to be able to participate. Which the amount of money you have to raise as a minimum is pretty extreme if you ask me ($1,800)!
This year as my mom was doing her yearly check out the walk website, say how she really wants to do it but can’t...
Watch “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so...

God has big plans for you!
I’m definitely at a crossroad in my life right now and it’s so hard to know which way to go. Originally did the pro and con thing but that got me nowhere. So now, which is where I should have started, I am asking God for help. I’m asking him to close the doors on one of the paths I could take and continue to open the doors on the path He wants me to take. I am also asking Him to...
Not a fan of SNOW!
Ughh.. the snowfall today!
I know it is beautiful when it’s white and on the trees and it’s fun to sled, snowboard, ski, play in, yada yada! But, it is a pain in the butt! First off, it’s cold! Soo cold! Secondly, driving is complete chaos when it snows! People drive slow, people drive crazy! It is just not safe on the roads and pshh good luck getting anywhere on time unless...
Life at home..
So I moved back home a little over a week ago. I knew that it was going to be hard because I was leaving behind a huge support system and some of my very best friends. The first thing I wanted to make sure I did was get plugged into a Church and get connected with other followers of Christ. I also knew I needed to get a job.
Thankfully, I have kept in touch with my brother’s sixth grade...
Imagine This..
I found this in the prologue of one of my mother’s books. It is long but I definitely encourage you to read it. It is very powerful.
Imagine This..
You’re driving home from work next Monday after a long day. You turn on your radio and you hear a brief report about a small village in India where some people have suddenly died, strangely, of a flu that has never been seen before....
Prayer
This morning, I had a very humbling experience. I was in the Word and when I read I also like to listen to some worship music. While I was reading I felt the need to pray to really talk to God and I did. I immediately started crying and truly opening my heart up! I have never prayed how I prayed this morning and it was definitely a wake up call to me. The music in the background just added to it...
The Weather...

God is soo good!
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.” -Luke 10: 27
What a crazy week it has been!! At first, I definitely did let all the craziness of this week get to me and I did not let God into what I was dealing with. I knew it in my heart that is what I should do but my mind was struggling with that. I am soooo...

Rock, Paper, Scissors
So over break I happened to think about the game Rock, Paper, Scissors and how it is often used when it comes to making decisions, who should make the decision or what not. Anyways, I understand how scissors beats paper..clearly it can cut it! I understand how rock beats scissors because clearly a rock can smash scissors! I DON’T understand how paper beats rock. I get that paper covers rock...
Like WOAH.
I have been sooooo, sooo forgetful lately. Like WOAH. This morning I forgot my calculator for my Finance quiz. Which is the second time I have done this. Two weeks ago when I had a finance quiz I forgot my calculator as well. But! No worries, last time I forgot my calculator I still managed to pull off a 70% on the quiz so YAY! So I am just going to continue to stay positive about having to...

Just running through my mind
The past two nights have been filled with very deep conversations about life and I just want to reflect on them. We have been given this one life to live and a question that has been bouncing around in my head is, “what was I meant to do with this one life I have been blessed with?”
The first conversation was taken part in a small group discussion and it was all about our dreams and...

Goal: Run a Marathon
A goal of mine is to be able to run a marathon by the time I graduate college. I set this goal for myself when I was a senior in high school. The summer before I came to college I was running all the time and would run 5k’s and I was on the right track to run a marathon by the time I would graduate. But, then freshmen year of college I became overwhelmed with things and stopped...

For my english class final we have to write a personal research essay. I chose a topic that is not normally very easy for me to talk about. We are suppose to write 6 pages and I am currently at 8 pages and nowhere near being done with this. Writing about what happened to me many years ago and things that have happened since, has opened up my eyes as to why I was and why I am the way I am today....

If you plant a young tree beside an underground stream of toxic water, its roots will grow down until they reach that water. Every aspect of the tree’s growth, from roots to leaves, will be shaped by the contaminated water: the trunk will be stunted, the bark distorted, and finally the tree may bear peculiar leaves and diseased fruit. We may all notice this tree, its leaves and fruit, but...
people these days…jeeze la weeze.
