Capture me with Grace

Wow so this blog is was kinda a joke... we have been bored durring oreientation week and need something to fill in the time...so i thought hey lets post a blog of what we have been doing.. if you know anything about adrianna or i...we umm.. well..uhh.. how do i put this? Well we are crazy! fine i said it and will admitt to it.. but anyways we all ways have "adventures" i dunno why but the lord has blessed us this way! (thank you) it makes our lives interesting and fun... so anyways i wanted to be kinda serious in this one.. we had some major stuff happen today that i want to shar with you all... When we were standing in line the other month..oh wait we've only been here for 3 days!!..j/k we met this guy named Stewart. he was so funny and just a real person not putting on the "bible college" face... so we started hanging out and became friends..yes we do have friends! but we didn't see him last night or this morning and when we finally did meet up, he told us that he was having ceasures last night and his rooming took him to the hospital and they told him he has to go home! this was a huge shock to us.. he has been through a bunch in his life and we were all excited to see how the lord was going to touch him this semester. his plane leaves tomorrow afternoon so for his last dinner adrianna and i took him to his first in-n-out burger! it was amazing for us aswell as him. he order 2 burgers fries and a coke!! crazy while adrianna and i are trying to keep the freshmen 15 off had protien style!! ummm.. it was awesome!! I drove us home in adrianna's stick!! in rush hour we saw jesus in a new and glorious way! :) naw don't trust her side of the story (it wasn't that bad)... we went to the gym again today!! oh yeah i found out that my m199 (work kinda job thingy) is gonna be sweet!! i had a little training today and i only have to work on thursdays! praise him!! we also treated ourselves to lunch (not knowing we were gonna have in-n-out later) it was grub asusual... oh i must not forget our chonie run!! adrianna and i got some sweet chones from walmart---i got sponge bob amd she got these colorful breathable things...there preety sweet.. so u might have seen my title "capture me with grace".. well this is why.. stewart and i and adrianna and u and my mom and chuck smith and denzel washington and well u get the point we are all captured by his grace but it is our choice to accept it and live by and through his grace. we had an amazong time of worship tonight that really let me seek the lord through that song RESCUE if u dont know it ask jeremy to play it for you. i just kinda was refreshed in that we all are huge sinners and that just because i have done THAT thing or gone THAT far...it doesn't matter we still sinned and fell short. but the greatest thing that he spoke tonight was that he is right there to pick us up and carry on...forget about those things and live a new life and that every day, moment, hour and second of our lives we just fix our eyes on him. i am so blessed to be an environment that supports this life style. we as christians and fellow believers need to uplift those who aren't in our positions. we need to encourage them and be their for them as they may face the world..potentially..out side of our "christian ghettos" ") well wow that was a sweet sermon see you all next sunday..just kidding again if you know me at all.. i hate writing and can't believe i am doing this for funn...ewww but hey its the college life to sit on some random persons law and enjoy the public internet.. again PLEASE pray for our friends as they come from all different backgrounds pray for stewart as he returns to wisconsin tomorrow that the lord would stay near and he would beable to feel his presences and know that he is not alone pray for this week end as we meet with the youth leaders of wildwood for a little get away that it would be refreshing and an exciting time!... well i hope you all have forwarded our sight to 5 people cause if you do you will recieve 100 dollars in 10 days but if you only keep this to your self...you will be punished. (just don't come to me looking for the 100 dollars!)... thanks for stopping by don't forget to leave a post... its not worth viewing if ur not gonna talk back! see you next weekend!! mandy

Hey Mandy,

Great sermon. Glad to hear that you are taking in more than fast food...But I was wondering if this is really the place to discuss the type of underware you are buying? Just wondering? I'm new to this blog thing, so maybe it's "all good". I love you and look forward to your next post.
