In all honesty, I haven't had a lot on my mind lately. Over Thanksgiving break I've been house-sitting which has been a blessing and a curse, but mostly blessing. The hard part is being by myself, yet at the same time that is also the blessing—the silence is like an emotional/mental/spiritual detox. Yep, it's just me and the dog I'm watching and frankly, I couldn't ask for more. Thanks to the tremendous amount of silence and stillness, I've...
"To conclude this series on prayer, I have asked fellow Jessup student Sara Lewis to share her insights on prayer and experience of God through it. Please give thought to what she has to say about the power and authority given to believers!"

Walking in the Spirit
Only in the last couple of years have I experienced just a taste of what it means to sit in His presence, and every time only leaves me wanting more and wishing I had...
"The following post is written by my friend Karsten—an unashamed man of God whose perspectives on faith and praxis have radically challenged and shaped my own. I pray you are blessed by his words. :)"
—David Andrew Prayer. Such an overused word. We have “prayer meetings” and “prayer groups” and “prayer chains,” we say “I’ll pray for you” to our suffering Christian friends (then we usually don’t remember to). So what is...
"In continuing this series on prayer, I wanted to focus on abiding in God's presence. Writing on this subject, my friend Maria Viola offers her intimate, insightful perspective from her experience of God in the quite place."
—David Andrew The Quiet Place We can learn to abide in God’s presence wherever we go, in any situation, in whatever we are doing. There is a starting point: being in the prayer closet. I cannot stress enough the...
To kick off this series on prayer, I want to focus on the experience of prayer. To express this sentiment, I have asked my dear friend Rachel Jackson to pen a creative piece on her experience of prayer. So without further ado:
Prayer.
Oh, I know this place so well;
The place we come to meet.
Oh, I know the way He looks at me
When I dance before Him, free.
Oh I know the path so well;
The path we walk upon.
Oh, I know it won’t be very long
Till...
So today I want to officially announce the print release of volume number two of my poetry! You can now order "Snapshots: Of the Coming Glory" as a print on demand book immediately through CreateSpace and Amazon! I also want to announce a blog series I will be launching soon! God has been laying the subject of prayer heavily on my heart lately; and I have been inspired to run a series of guest blog posts about prayer. We'll be talking about many...
Lately, I have felt God pressing on my heart to stop asking Him for stuff. It all falls in line with my last two posts actually. I've been feeling challenged to pray only in thankfulness and adoration of Who God is and of His qualities as revealed in Scripture and my daily life. For the course of this next school year, when I go to pray, I will only thank God for Who He is and proclaim His character over my circumstances. At the very least, this...
So, yesterday I received a letter. It was a certificate of victory. Wanna see it? Wanna know what it says? "Thank you for expressing interest in chapel worship at William Jessup University. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer an opportunity for regular participation in an '11-'12 worship team. We do, however, encourage you to continue to develop your gifts and will keep you in mind for future opportunities." When I first got this, I was...
