Jesus was crucified today. He died for us today!
I went to a Cru Winter Conference this January. It is a week-long conference with the Cru’s of the Red Region. One of the speakers, don’t remember which one, showed a video of Jesus Christ being nailed to the cross. It was really graphic.
I didn’t know what love meant at all before this video. Now, I know what love means. Jesus loved us. He died on the cross for us. And, we’re not even worthy of it. So, why would you do that, Jesus? It’s because He loves us <3.
So, thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me, for us, today.
Hello!! It’s been about two months since I’ve blogged which isn’t that long. But, still this - Yay! I showed up on your dashboard!
My first semester at Texas State was great. It went by pretty quickly. I came out with really good grades in all of my classes (one B, and the rest As! :)). My professors were good, one was great. The great professor would have to be my Intro to Fine Arts, Music (MU2313) one. It was a pretty easy class, but I still learned a lot. Glad I took it with him as my professor.
I made it through my 8AM class (FCS1347 - Resource Management). Ended up missing 2 class times, which is all the professor allowed before losing points. Those class times I missed pretty much was because I slept in. Of course.
Other than grades, I was going to cru small group and large group regularly. Cru is my college ministry. It is a good one. Meeting new people was a main part of this, of course. So, was listening to the speakers. And having fellowship as well. All good stuff.
Ever since I got a twitter, I’ve been blogging less. And I got twitter in August, this summer. Also, I don’t seem to be able to find the time to blog..more. I like twitter more, because people’s posts are shorter. So, I have to read less. It’s like I’ve replaced tumblr with twitter.
You know how I usually blog about retreats well I don’t seem to be doing that anymore. I didn’t blog about the acc winter retreat 2011. I don’t want to have to start there, and then have to do everything else, the rest. I have one more retreat that should be blogged, too.
Hopefully, you’ll see more blogs later. :)
I am busy with life which includes school, and CRU Large Group and Small Group. I was occupied. My mind was occupied. And I was in a place where sin was more present. So, I didn’t really know who was anymore. I guess I forgot.
I was laying in my bed. I think I woke up from a nap. I decided to play a CD my former small group member, Lisa, gave me. It’s a mix CD. The song Everything by Lifehouse came on. These two lines stook out to me:
You are my purpose. You’re everything.
It made me remember who I was: I’m Christian. It made me remember the reason for living or my purpose: To live for Christ. It also made me remember that Christ, He, is my everything.

You’re doing it all wrong. You’re not finding the “guy’s” you want, simply because their not looking for you. The guys you are searching for, are actually searching for God. The farthest thing on their mind is a girlfriend. The only thing their heart craves is companionship with…
I have been wanting to a buy a book. It’s Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life Under Christ’s Control by Elisabeth Elliot. Char kind of recommended it to me. I decided to buy it later next semester, because I figured I’d focus more on God rather than my love life.
I was thinking about if I was called to be single by God or not. And honestly, I am afraid to ask Him by praying if I am or not. From what I read and heard you’re called to be single by God if you’re a lot better in doing His will by yourself than with a significant other. Honestly, I don’t know where I fit in on this, really.
I feel I just want to be with Him, and not have to think about this stuff.
CRU Fall Getaway/Retreat
We arrived late. My carpool people I shall call them. At the first session with speaker James (don’t know his last name) stated think of your sins are written on a chalkboard and they are being erased by Jesus by Him using the eraser. What he said totally stook out for me, and I was like I gotta write this down in my journal.
We had Women’s Time. And it was talk about how you shouldn’t compare yourself to others, but specifically women. Instead of comparing yourself identify your strengths/gifts. We had discussion in groups afterwards. I didn’t say anything. Is this shocking? I didn’t feel comfortable enough, and I felt like I didn’t compare myself to other women. I have an older brother, so I mostly compare to him. I realized I do compare myself to women, like thinking I wish I was more like her. And I shouldn’t.
This retreat had more than one school. CRU people from UTSA, A&M Corpus Christi, TSU, and ACCD where also there. I wish it was just our school though.
It was a pretty fun retreat. It was a relaxing, peaceful time.
Hey everyone! It’s been about 2 months here at Texas State. (I apologize for using TSU, before. I know it could’ve been confusing. Texas State is not known as TSU, and actually some other university is known as that. I was lazy, and typing TSU was easier.) The first round of tests have been completed, a few weeks back. I didn’t have a crazy test week like most people did, so I am thankful for that. Also, I had a midterm, today. My first midterm, here. I think I got an A.
Registration for Spring 2012 is coming up soon! Not even sure what I am going to take, yet. Though I don’t register that soon. Not the first ones.
Enough about school.
I want to talk about CRU. I am in a CRU small group. We have these frates (friend dates) where you are randomly paired with someone and you meet up with them. Usually you grab a meal with them. I had a good one, today. It really helps build relationships with small group members. I specifically like this part of small group. There’s 17 people in my small group, so it’s like this element is necessary.
Last weekend there was a last minute small group get together. There’s more background info that I won’t bother telling. I hung out with them. And it was fun. Lots of laughs.
I am going to CRU Fall Getaway/Retreat this weekend! I am pretty excited. I went to AACM Fall Retreat last year, and that was fun. So, this so be as fun or more fun.
I kind of missed blogging. It’s been about 2 weeks since my last post. And I see people blogging here on tumblr, and I am like I should blog…more.
I went back to Austin last weekend (9/23 - 9/25) for my mom’s birthday. Going back to Austin included visiting AACM and ACC, of course. My former ministry and home church. I got to see my old friends and the Christ in them.
Being at AACM’s Large Group on Friday makes me think of how grateful I am to have a ministry like CRU here at TSU. CRU fits me better, because it is smaller, about 100 people whereas AACM is about 400 people. I like AACM, but after that time we had for Large Group and then loitering which was about 2 hours, I was kind of overwhelmed with all the people. I mean of course I like the people, but it’s just a lot sometimes. Introvert…alert?
I like the fact that I know more people from AACM than I do CRU, because I’ll be able to easily find a place to sit for Large Group. In CRU, I don’t no so many people, because I’ve only been with them for less than a month. Basically, what I am trying to say is I am more comfortable with AACM. In time I will be more comfortable with CRU, because this is the place I am supposed to be. In that process right now.
I also got to go to Quest. I haven’t being able to go to a church in San Marcos, where TSU is. Being at Quest was great. I like having discussion questions. Even being there just yesterday I feel that it is a great close-knit church college ministry. I like how they do things, you know, having small groups discussions, and stuff.
One interesting thing about the weekend I want to share with you was I got to ACC late and I couldn’t find a parking spot in the lighthouse parking lot, so I ended up parking in Julian’s spot, which is in front of the main lighthouse entrance and their’s an arrow there. I was like I hope I don’t get towed, but then I was like Julian parked there many times before, and it was fine for him, so I should be fine.
Overall, It was great being back. And I had a good weekend.
P.S. - I know sometimes my writing in my blogs can be all over the place. It is because I mainly just want to write it down and share it with you, and I’m not big on grammer and stuff like that.
