Well things seem to be shaping up pretty good this semester.
I am taking 17 hours so I am nervous about doing that with greek but I think it
will be aright if I stay on top of everything. Anyways all that said it will be
difficult but not impossible. I am really looking forward to everything. Though
I am looking forward to this semester, I feel like there is a empty place in me
when I am here at lipscomb. I feel so out of the loop but at the same time I
feel a longing to really love lipscomb. I can feel myself warming up to
lipscomb but at the same time it is such a struggle to stay here. I don't
know.... I am praying that god will soften my heart to lipscomb even more than
he already has. I just want to love being here because it is hard to show Christ
to people when I feel so out of the loop and constantly having a bitter taste
in my mouth about the whole experience. Yet through everything I know that God
is taking me through this process here at lipscomb to teach me new and exciting
things! I have been coming to a realization that nothing in my life and in what
I do is wasted because of who I am following. So it is up to me to trust. Trust
that God has a plan even in a time when I feel I am insignificant to the people
and places around me. Trust....... I really need to work on that. Anyways if
yall want a few things to pray about.... just pray that god will bless my
efforts this semester. Pray also that God will soften my heart to lipscomb and
that I will begin to feel included. Pray also that God will just be on this
campus and that people can't help but see him moving.


Dear Lord, Thank you so much for everything you have blessed me with here
at Lipscomb. You are so amazing God! You have set me free and there is no
possible way I can repay you or thank you enough for that! I thank you god for
being so merciful toward me when I fail to spend time with you. I will never be
able to understand the fullness of your love for me. You are amazing God! I
offer to you this semester here at lipscomb. I commit my life to you and I commit
that I will strive to show you this semester in every and any way I can. Lord I
pray that you will help me to keep this promise to you. Please Lord help me
stay focused on you and your will for my life. Please give me even more of a
passion to strive after you and to strive after an intimate relationship with
you that is fruitful to others. I know that I am not the perfect candidate for
you to use but I give thanks in advance because I know that you are going to
use me this semester and I know I am not worthy of that yet you offer blessings
to me one after another that I do not deserve because you love me so much. Thank
you! God I pray that you will help me trust in your timing and in your plan for
me this semester. I thank you for setting forth this plan even before I was
born and putting me in this positions to carry out your plan for my life! I
love you God! I can't express that enough to you or to anybody else but you
know my heart and I pray that it's longings will speak more for me than my
actions or words. God please keep me humble this semester. Please help me to
find a belonging in you and to let that be enough for me. Please God show me
more and more that my relationship with you will sustain me even when I feel
left out here at lipscomb. Lord please soften my heart to lipscomb and the
students here. Please lord don’t let me have any pre conceived views about the
people around me. In other words please help me to see them through your eyes
and help me love them for what you see and not what the world sees. God I pray
your blessings over this campus. Please lord have your hand on the faculty’s
and student’s hearts and teach and grow each of them. God I pray and overall blessing
over each college campus in America.
I pray that your presence will be felt on each of those campuses. I pray that
you will raise up leaders and give them courage to lead their campus to your
side. God I thank you for what I can see you doing all around me! Thanks you so
much for what you have already done for me and what you will continue to do. I
pray that you will shape me and mold me into a man of God that will lead people
into seeing you and your heart for us. I pray that you will continue to teach
me new things and continue to refine me no matter what it takes. I want to
serve you lord! God you are so amazing!
