When Jesus spoke the words, “It is finished,” he shut the door on our efforts to control our life. He put an end to all our strivings to get everything right in our own strength. And he opened the door to a forever rest, to freedom from sin, and to a peace that passes all understanding.

Create in me a pure heart, O Lord.
Let not my heart go after other things…
You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,
and your land Married;
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married
-Isaiah 62:4
In a week and a half, it shall be done. All that is left is to run forward with all my might.
Jesus, help me to be faithful, and to honor you with all that I do.
Tonight was good. Sooo beautiful to see the fruit of God’s love in the people you care about!

Ahh! I forgot how good it is to be home. To sit in my parents’ house and drink coffee with my Daddy. It is so simply refreshing after 2 months of craziness.
Even to sit in a Bakersfield starbucks doing work… sooo much better then being in Berkeley surrounded by reminders of stress and broken past attempts at doing things…. I am so blessed to be home. :)
— Isaiah 44:24-28
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.For the law of the Spirit of lifehas set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. - Romans 8:1-4
Jesus, may you conquer the sin and death in my broken life!
Today was a truly good day. At the end of it, I feel so so so blessed. I got to have time to go to class, get a bit of studying done, have a good talk with a friend, and get “kidnapped” by ADX’s lovely pledges.
Really, they just asked me to take a walk with them to Unit 3, where we had adventures, they did my hair, and fed me tasty food. After a few hours of enjoying each other’s company, the pledges led the actives on a quest to find me and my lovely friend G, all ending in a joyous party, and good fellowship.
I just feel so blessed to be a part of what God is doing in this house and to see all of the lovely people that God is bringing together. I am so excited to see how this adventure turns out and to see the greater work that God is doing. It was a good day.
