Bowl-O-Rama

Last Friday night we all decided to get together for a fun night of bowling. It turned in to quite an event though--guys on girls with a bet involved.


Me with Andrea (the all around tournament champion)

So, the girls did some serious damage, but we still came out on the losing end and had to buy icecream for the boys.


Me and Amy

But, we had so much fun we decided to start a league--every Thursday you can find us at OakMountain Lanes.


Me and Brooke

Stop by and see us!!

You Foolish Galatians

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a new gospel. . . For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. . . If you being a Jew live like the Gentiles and not like the Jew, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like the Jews?. . . You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?. . . However, at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?. . . It was for freedom that Christ set us free. . . You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?. . . For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. . . But if you bite and devour one anohter, take care that you are not consumed by one another. . . If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. . . For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Send Me

A couple of weeks, I felt the Lord telling me, "Amber, it's time to get ready to go again." But it didn't make so much sense. I mean, I just started my job-a job that is perfectly suited for me (atleast while I am in America) and I am finally getting settled in. And, I don't feel ready to go back. I knew the Lord was speaking, urging me on, but still I doubted. I heard someone mention that "Jeremiah was suicidal"! Kinda random, but I wanted to know more. To read the book not just for the sake of saying I have read it, but to read it to know Jeremiah. So I opened it up--

Chapter 1
The Call of Jeremiah
Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a youth'; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD." Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,to pluck up and to break down,to destroy and to overthrow,to build and to plant."


It is the almighty love of God that constrains me, and in the midst of a keen consciousness of complete unworthiness, my soul cries out within me--Here am I, send me. By the grace of God, when the way is clear, I will go, obstruct who may, laugh who will, scoff who can. It is Christ Who was crucified and Who rose again and it is God who suffered so inconceivably to redeem man, Who bids me go.
