Sadie Hawkins

Tonight was the Sadie Hawkins skit night. All the guys rooms did skits in front of the whole project, and the girls picked which room they wanted to take out tomorrow night depending on the skit. Our room did a skit called "Beans" where we acted out a skit and then did it again with emotion, and then again with a western theme, and then again with a gangster theme, and then a sad theme. Everyone loved it and were cracking up. Not only did our room do a really great job, but I was truly impressed. We were asked out on a date for tomorrow night by a friend of mines rooms, Blaine. Her room of girls are taking us out for dinner and we were told to bring our swim suits, so we're all excited. Of course I was sad that Natalie's room could't take us and she was sad too, but we're both excited about our room dates tomorrow. This morning I dug into the word and read Romans 8, which is definitely my favorite chapter in Romans. Verses 1-2, and 6 are fire, they just get me excited. The main verse of focus today was verse 18. It basically says that the suffering you have been, are now, or will go through isn't even comparable to the Glory that you will have in the end. Nothing can compare! I am fortunate to not have had tremendous suffering in mt life, yet. At least compared to many others. I have had my tough times and will continue to, but to think that they won't even compare to the glory that I will receive in the end is just so powerful to me, I really can't even fathom it. One thing I do know, is that it is going to be SO worth it. As bad as you think it is or might get, in the end, it is more than worth it. I trust Him, and I turn to Him with the little things now, for practice. So that when my life does get tougher, which it will, and I go through a rough patch, I won't turn away from Him. Rather, I will lean even harder on Him, harder than I even have before. God promises, so i believe. The verse before says that we not only share in His suffering, but also His glory. The rest of this chapter is just encouraging to me. Like verse 26, says just to rely on the Holy Spirit, like when you don't know what to say. He will fill those words,and help us in our times of weakness. And again my new favorite verse that pops up again and again 31. I love it. It truly empowers me daily. In the end this message is clear, ALL suffering is totally worth in. Because in the end, when t really matters, the Glory will be revealed to us. Thank you for your prayers and keep on praying.

Serving Him,
