“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” (Psalm 126:3 NIV) Joy. This is another gift from God that I personally find myself taking for granted a lot. When we (especially most college students) think of our lives as Christians, “joyful” or “exciting” probably aren’t words many of us… Continue reading College Prayer Guide 5: {Joy}

College Prayer Guide 4: {Christian Community}
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the… Continue reading College Prayer Guide 4: {Christian Community}
College Prayer Guide 3: {Protection From The Enemy}
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you… Continue reading College Prayer Guide 3: {Protection From The Enemy}
College Prayer Guide 2: {Boldness}
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” (Romans 1:16 NIV) Pray for boldness in the lives of the college students you know as they are in school. It can be a challenge… Continue reading College Prayer Guide 2: {Boldness}
College Prayer Guide 1: {Grace}
“May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.” (2 Peter 1:2 NLT) Grace is something we easily take for granted. Often in Christian communities grace is only talked about in terms of the salvation Jesus bought for us on the cross.… Continue reading College Prayer Guide 1: {Grace}

I created a prayer guide for parents of college students and thought I could adapt them throughout the year to… Continue reading Pray for Our College Students!

My “Other Half”
"Is that your other half?" he asks (referring to the married man with 3 kids sitting beside me.) "No." I reply introducing them to each other anyway. "So, how come I haven't ever met your other half?" "Perhaps because I don't have one." "Oh...That's... a good reason." He responds as we all laugh. The phrase… Continue reading My “Other Half”
We Bought Jesus a Prom Dress Today! :)
(My afternoon was just so cool that it warrants pausing my 31 Days of Imperfection series.) So this afternoon I went prom dress shopping with 11 ladies. Yes, it was as insane as it might sound. But the coolest part about it all was that these ladies weren't shopping for their own dresses. Last week,… Continue reading We Bought Jesus a Prom Dress Today! 🙂
God on the Move
It seems like everywhere I turn lately it is obvious that God is on the move and it is SO exciting to see. One of the places I witnessed him this past week was at Lutheran Campus Ministries (LCM) of WNY (also known as Organic Campus). First Trinity had the opportunity to partner with this… Continue reading God on the Move
