Journey Day 337

Today Jon Acuff brought something to my attention that I am extremely guilty of. He called it "the reverse Jesus Juke". For those of you who don't know what a Jesus Juke is, as defined by urban dictionary, it is "when some Christian brings Jesus into an argument or conversation out of nowhere. Usually creating a religious argument within the original argument or conversation."Most commonly it is used to refer to people who are judging other people. For example this weekend my grandfather was basically Jesus Juking  Christians with excessive tattoos and piercings. And I was pretty upset with him. We had a good ol' argument. In fact I didn't realize it at the time but I was judging him for judging others. I was reverse Jesus Juking him. This might sound like a silly phrase, but honestly it's a serious heart matter. Who am I to judge him? I thought I was being all progressive and high and mighty because I was being so "loving and accepting", but in reality I wasn't being very loving of my own grandfather. I want to be like Jesus, and I strive to love others as Jesus did and does. I find myself often reverse Jesus Juking people. Judging people for judging... I think that is just as bad as just plain judging.

Journey Day 336

This has the makings of an extremely long day so I'm taking this free moment I have, and I am writing to you. I want to have a more adventurous spirit. Let's be real, I'm not the most exciting person in the world. I like having a schedule... I enjoy to-do lists and structure... I hate going out at night, and love going to bed early... the idea of spontaneity makes me break out in hives. While that last part is a tiny exaggeration it doesn't lie too far from the truth. It seems I hate adventure... but I don't want to. I want to take random day trips to places I've never been before. I want to climb mountains, and swim in rivers. I want to make new friends in the most unlikely places. I want to work in inner city areas with kids that didn't have the same privileges I did. I want to risk it all for something bigger than myself. At the core of me, I long for adventure... even though I seem incapable of acting on that longing. I guess that's a part of why I'm going to China. I'm tired of waking up every morning doing the same ol' thing. I am restless. I am excited to go and do and live. I want to live and breathe God's word. It's time to move on from Lburg... I used to wake up every morning and love where I lived. I used to go places and count down the days until I came back again. Now I count down the days until I get to go visit other places. And while I love all my friends that live here, I think it's time to go. It's time to engage my adventurous spirit.

Journey Day 335

Sometimes--- by David Crowder Band

Sometimes everyone of us feels
like we'll never be healed...
Sometimes...
Sometimes everyone of us aches
like we'll never be saved
Sometimes...

When we've given up let your healing come
When there's nothing left let your healing come
Till we're rising up let your healing come
Where you go we will follow

It's your love that we adore it's like a sea without a shore
We're lost in you 
Sometimes...

Sometimes it's like we'll never atone
For all the love we've known
Sometimes like in the smile or a song when you feel it come
Then that feelings gone
It flies

When we've given up let your healing come 
When there's nothing left let your healing come
Til we're rising up let your healing come 
Where you go we will follow
It's your love that we adore it's like a sea without a shore
We're lost in you 

Don't be afraid
Just set your sail
Let's risk the ocean; there's only grace!

Where you go we will follow
I'm on my knees
Where you go we will follow 
Oh God save me!
Oh God, send me!

It's your love that we adore it's like a sea without a shore!

Journey Day 334

This is going to sound super lame, and I hope you don't think any less of me. Today I was sitting at dinner, and my 7 year old little brother sits down at the table and tells me "Sarah, I don't think you're ever going to find your love." Aka, he thinks I'm going to be single forever. My little 7 year old brother made my heart hurt... so silly, I know. I thought about that statement way more than I should have, considering he's just a kid and has no idea what he's talking about, but a thought dawned on me. Even if I am single for the rest of my life and I never find my "love", that will be ok. Don't get me wrong, I want to find the one and get married and fall in love, but if that's not in the cards for me... well that's ok. Maybe I'll never have a love here on earth, but I have a heavenly love who puts stars and sunsets in the sky, flowers on the ground, and mountains all around me. He speaks sweet nothings to me everyday, and if He wants me to be single forever so I can serve Him completely, than I'm ok with that. I know it won't be easy, and I'll have more moments where my heart hurts a little, but I know that God will always be there to dry my tears and remind me of His love. I've certainly already found my love.

Journey Day 332

My communications class this term is extremely stressful, but you know what? It's probably my favorite class... ever. I'm learning so much, and it's really reinforcing that public relations is what I want to do. In fact it is helping me narrow down which part of the field I want to be in. I definitely think I want to work for a firm that represents non profit organizations. Some parts of public relations can be kind of sleazy, but if I represent ministries and non profits hopefully it won't be so sleazy. But we'll see, wherever God calls I will go. I have no idea how I'll feel after China, or where I'll be going, but I'm definitely excited to see! It's those type of thoughts that help me truck on through these classes when I'm incredibly exhausted or stressed. This is just one step in getting to where God needs me to be. So here's to tomorrow and all the craziness it's going to bring with it! : )

Journey Day 331

I lack words tonight, so instead you should look up Francis Chan on Youtube... : )

Luke Warm & Loving It

Journey Day 330

Today I'm forcing myself to see the silver lining of my day. It was a long day, but you know what? God was still good, and the day was beautiful, and my dog is starting to get better, and I have roof over my head, and I'm going to China for 10 months, and I have awesome friends, and I get to see my family in 3 days.... so basically I'm so stinking blessed that I really have nothing to complain about : )

Journey Day 329

Today as I was doing hw I was listening to Gungor on Youtube, and I read something that warmed my heart and made me extremely excited! At the bottom of the video for "Please Be My Strength" there was a comment that said, "wow, just a fluke discovery, I'm not a christian, hope that doesn't matter, but this is beautiful and I'll listen to more of their music." Little does this person know that there is no way that this was a "fluke discovery", but instead it was God reaching out to their heart. Maybe this song won't make them love Jesus, but it opened the door and it planted that seed. God uses us to reach others, and that is something I have to constantly remind myself of. I can show people Jesus, or I can turn them away. It is up to us to use the opportunities God gives us, and to constantly be looking out for other people. Gungor was watching out for the person that left that comment without even realizing... how amazing!!

Journey Day 328

So on my way back from South Carolina (I was there for a wedding... more on that later!), I saw a sign in front of a church that said "Jesus needs us." The moment I read that my heart sank a little. Thinking that Jesus needs us takes away from the beauty of grace, and puts the spotlight on us. Jesus doesn't need us... he  WANTS us... I don't know about you but never ceases to amaze me. The minute we start thinking that God needs us we cheapen God's grace. His desire is for us... His need is for righteousness which is why He sent His Son to die for our sins... He wanted us enough to send His son to make us righteous. I don't ever want to get the two mixed up!

On another, let serious note, I was in a wedding this weekend and it was such a beautiful experience!! Here are some pictures from it : )

The boootiful bride : )

Journey Day 325

You know what's an awesome feeling? Accomplishment... that's what! This week, while it's been exhausting, has been extremely personally satisfying. I've been super on top of my schoolwork, while still getting stuff done for China. I'm even completely packed and ready to go for Mary's wedding weekend! Ahhh, gotta love it! But the most satisfying part of it all? I didn't do it on my own. That's right people, I had some extreme help of the supernatural variety. God totally gave me the strength and discernment to get everything done that I had to! Go Jesus, yes? Yes! It's nice to know that I don't have to get stuff done on my own, and in fact I can't! Granted I have my moments of sleepiness and exhaustion, but overall God has been giving me strength every step of the way. Also, this week I'm reminding myself that I need to bring glory to God in everything I do, including school. And that means trying my absolute best, and giving it my all!

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

        - Psalm 73:26

Journey Day 324

I wish that I was less judgmental... yes, that's right I said it... I struggle with being judgmental (along with a million other things). I seem to have a hard time seeing anything from anyone else's perspective. For example, tonight I was sitting near this high school group of kids, and the whole time they were being silly, and well... they were just being highschoolers. And in my mind, I was like what they heck is up with these kids? Blablablabla... basically I was just judging them, when all they were doing was having fun. And you know what? I used to be that same way, and sometimes I'm still ridiculous and loud and I'm 21! I truly want to see people the way God sees them... through loving and non judgmental eyes. My new goal and dream (after China of course) is to intern at The Simple Way. I want so badly to experience that kind of deep community and love for every single one of God's creation. They aren't legalistic, they aren't judgmental, and they actually put action to their words! I want to be mentored by someone like that. Also, I'm praying that God will make me humble enough to take constructive criticism with a joyful heart. I think while I'm in China I'm going to need that ability! So guys and gals, that's what's going on in my head today.... a whole lot of brokenness, and whole lot of gratefulness for God's grace!

Journey Day 323

I am so grateful the friends God has blessed me with. They challenge me, and they are honest with me. Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow, and so sometimes our automatic reaction is to feel hurt and defensive, but I know that after I have some time to think about it I'm always grateful for their honesty. That is a true test of character I think... can you be honest even when it's difficult? I tend to be a people pleaser, so I never want to hurt anyone's feelings or step on anyone's toes so that means that sometimes it's hard for me to be completely honest with my friends. It's easier for me to tell them what I think they want to hear. But you know what? I think that I am doing them a diservice by not being totally truthful with them. I want to grow, and that means being challenged and pushed, and that requires honesty on my part, but also honesty from my friends. Follow Me to Freedom had me make a list of people that I admire and want to follow, and only one of them was someone that I didn't know personally.

1. Jesus (obv)
2. Shane Claiborne (he's the one I don't know, although I totally wish I did)
3. Meagan Van Engen (She's pretty much awesome, and she's honest with me even when I don't want to hear it... totes appreciate that)
4. Jenna Ketterning (She's my old roommate and one of my nearest and dearest friends. She's also honest with me all the time, and isn't afraid to tell me when I'm in the wrong! I respect her muchos)
5. My parents (Boy are they honest with me! Haha Sometimes I get upset when they are honest with me, but in reality I know their honesty comes with good intentions and I love them for it!)
6. Amber Hasson (She is my mentor, and one of the best friends I've ever had! Her friendship is such an incredible blessing to me!)
7. Kevin Jones (He's one of those friends that's honest with me, even when I don't think I want the honesty. He's also incredibly giving, and he likes to do it in secret which I so respect!)
8. Tiffany Hetzlein (We're newer friends and she's going to China with me! We have one of those friendships were we will bicker and fight, but at the end of the day we still love each other! Love that!)
9. I know there are many many more friends that I'm just incredibly blessed by, but the book only gave me so many lines to write on...so numero 9 is for the rest of my awesome friends that encourage, bless and challenge me!

So friends, thanks for loving me even though I'm a snot about 75% of the time! You'll never know how much you truly bless me! : )

Journey Day 322

Today has been a loooong day... not bad just long. I started summer classes, so essentially I've been at school from 8am until now (aka 7pm), and I still have at least another hour and a half here! Like I said, not a bad day just long. I've been devouring "Follow Me to Freedom" by Shane Claiborne and John M Perkins. It's such an awesome and challenging book. Reading it makes me want to just sell almost all I have and just live more simply. But above all else it challenges me to live more like Jesus, and what that really looks like. I would write more but I still have to read and answer questions for two chapters and start writing a press release, so ta-ta for now! : )

Journey Day 321

I love my church. Today we sang two of my favorite songs, and the message was AMAZING! It was about putting God and His will for your life first. I always need that reminder and conviction. One of the songs that we sang was called I Will Search. It's basically about searching for God and His love for us and us for Him. It is based on Song of Solomon and even thinking about it gives me the chills. The creator of the universe... loves... me.... if that doesn't just create a sense of awe in you, I don't know what will. It's truly an incredible thought! I don't deserve that love... but I need that love... and so God gives it to me... and He doesn't do it begrudgingly, He delights in me and loves me. So incredible! I'm so blessed, and I want to try to never forget that. I want God to be the center of my life. I wrote this in my journal,

"If I am supposed to be single forever that's ok with me. As hard as it might be, you are enough. I want to devote all that I am to you, every part of my life and every part of my being. You are worth way more to me than any man would ever be. You. Are. Enough. My mind is filled with thoughts of you, your goodness, your love, and your perfect will for my life."

I have found my perfect peace in God... and I am going to seek that peace every single day...

Journey Day 320

I am too materialistic. I have too much crap, I spend too much time on my computer, and sometimes I'm selfish. I'm trying to figure out how to get out this habit, and start changing those things! Part of this is going to be deactivating my facebook for a little while. I need to get out of the habit of always going on there, and filling my time with that. I'll go on to check something and then one thing leads to another and I'm on there for an hour or so, keeping myself from getting actual stuff done. I also need to try to get rid of some of the stuff that I have that I never use, or never wear. I also need to spend more time with people. Don't get me wrong I love my friends, I love investing in their lives, and getting to know them, but lately I have been a bit of a homebody and I think I've driven some friends away through that. I think it's time I step outside my comfort zone some, and start investing in my friends again. It's the little changes in my life that will hopefully add up to a changed and improved character. That my friends is the goal and the dream.

Journey Day 319

The end : )

Journey Day 317

It's officially summer. I took my last final today and I spent the first half of the day with my parents and the rest of the day with some awesome friends! It was the start to summer! WOOHOOOOOOO! This is an important summer because it's the last time I'll get to see my friends and my family before I go overseas for 10 months. I want to spend as much time with all of them as possible! What's on the agenda for tomorrow? Sleep in a little, eat some cereal, and start sending out some support letters! Then maybe I'll spend some time with my friend who is in town. Sounds like the perfect summer day to me!

Journey Day 315

Today is strange. It's my last day being a LU student for a whole year. It's my last dear working at the computer lab. It's just weird. Needless to say it's a bit of a bittersweet feeling. I'm excited to go to China, and I'm even excited to get a break from school, but I'm so very sad to say goodbye to so many of the awesome people I met here. It feels like a chapter in my life is ending, and a very new, very exciting one is beginning! But it's still a little sad. I like change, I do, but it's just such a weird feeling! This end of a chapter just makes going to China feel that much more real... and scary... and exciting! I'm really VERY excited to see how God is going to work in this summer, and I hope I truly learn to depend on him. But nontheless, today, I'm a little sad. Goodbye Computer lab. Goodbye LU... it's been real! : )

Journey Day 314

So I missed a day, because I was out of town without a computer. Right now I'm reading Acts, and learning about the church, and Peter, and Saul, and it has left me wishing that I had been born during that time. They were incredibly close with one another, and incredibly close to God. They were bold, and on fire, and weren't afraid of persecution! I hope that one day I can have that. That kind of community and that kind of relationship with God!

Journey Day 313

So... I'm going to China for 10 months. Crazy yeah? I know, I even I think it's nuts and I'm the one going! But I just can't deny God's hand throughout this whole process. Most of you who read this blog already know that I'm going to China, and have been super supportive and I'm so incredibly grateful for that! But for those of you who don't know, I'm going to China and here is why...

Around the beginning of the semester, so mid January, I really began feeling convicted about the lack of intentional living in my life. So I decided it was time to change that. So I started to get more involved in my church, started giving more to my church and the world around me, hiked a mountain (which if you know me at all, you know that is very "un me") and started praying that God would give me a big way to step out in faith. Something where when people heard about it or saw it, they would know that God had to be involved because I sure couldn't do it by myself. Something that would push and deepen my faith and trust in God. So I kept praying and praying and praying. February rolled around and one day I was working, and doing my rounds for what we call "counts", and I saw this table set up and one of their banners really caught my eyes. It went something along the lines of, "You're young, you're single, why not now". Something that God has been showing me during this journey is that I am single for a reason, and he is going to use it, and I need to be intentional with my singleness. I mean I'll never have this time again, where I can just up and move and go wherever God calls. So when I read this banner something in me stirred. But I ignored it and just kept on working, but as I sat back in my room God wouldn't leave me alone and wouldn't let me shake it. So I whispered to my friend, "Will you go to this table set up near the doors and find out more info for me?" Well she did, and she came back and told me that this group sends people to China for a year!! At first I was like, "well then that's not for me, because I've never thought of China and I'm still in school. Oh well." But then I remembered my prayer. I wanted to step out in faith in a big way, right? What is one year of school? I can always come back and finish! What is really stopping me from just following God's call and going! So I printed out the application that night, made an appointment to meet with one of their recruiters, and filled out the application the next morning! The next afternoon I was at Chick-fil-a with one of my friends, and all the sudden someone taps me on the shoulder and I look up and someone said, "Sarah right? I met you last night at our table." So she sat at our table and chatted with us for a good 30 minutes! Craziness right? I mean what are the odds?? The next day I went to coffee with other girl at the recruiting table and we had such an awesome and encouraging time and I just felt God there in the process. So I gave her my application, they looked over it that afternoon, interviewed me early that evening and asked me to come to the first part of training. So it looked like I was going to China... it's still so crazy to me! So I went to training camp, and met an AMAZING group of people, including all the staff, and God worked in such new and exciting ways in my heart! That was the mid April, and then last week I found out that I was officially accepted to go to CHINA! So now, I'm sitting in my favorite coffee shop, wondering what God is going to do next, and how I'm going to see him provide for me and for the rest of my new friends! Wondering how I'll ever finish school, but not worrying about it. Wondering who I'm going to meet, how I'm going to be changed, and how the people I meet will change. I'm so excited, and scared, and nervous, and happy, and just about every emotion you can imagine, but mostly I just can't wait to see what God is going to do! How he is going to deepen my love, extend my faith, and grow my character! I feel as though it's so appropriate that my journey of character will end in the journey to China and the journey of faith. If you want more info on my trip feel free to email me (soknudsen2012@gmail.com) or message me on facebook!

Journey Day 312

I'm always nervous to be completely real with you guys... I don't want you to think less of me.... but I also don't want to be blog me and real life me. I don't want to be the perfect christian, who has it all together on here, but the flawed, broken person in reality. I just want you gusy to see the real me. So today I'm going to be real with you about my struggles, and pray that you don't judge me.
 
Twice a month, for a total of about a week and a half, I get legit depressed. Not just sad or melancholy. It's not caused by an event in my life, it's a hormonal imbalance caused by PMDD, which stands for pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder.  Until you've experienced true depression you will never really know what it's like. It's more than a funk, it's more than being sad, it feels like I'm in a dark hole and I can't get out. I'm sad all the time, I want to cry all the time, I'm constantly on edge and cranky. I'm basically awful to be around for about 3 days mid month and then 5 days at the end. I'm currently coming out of a bout of this depression. It's incredible how different I feel after the PMDD passes. Things seem happier, I'm less cranky and edgy, I enjoy people, I feel like I can smile again. It's like the world loses it's shine for a little while and I finally have it back. I've been searching for some kind of way to help cope with this imbalance in my body and I found something called "Sam-e" that I am going to try. You can take anti-depressants and birth control to help, but I'd rather try every natural way before I resort to something chemical. But during these times of depression God and I get much deeper, because I get extra real with Him. I get mad, I get sad, I get frustrated, and He listens. He listens and He comforts. Last night I broke out my journal to write my sadness and loneliness to God. I just felt alone, and like He had forgotten about me and about my desires. This specific journal has verses at the bottom, so I read it before I started writing. " I will not forget you! See I have you engraved on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:15-16.  Those verses are followed by God talking about even though everything seems ruined right now, God is going to fix it. Their enemies will be far from them and God will redeem them. He is their comfortor and never forgets them. This was exactly what I needed to read. It was like God was saying to me, "Sarah, I am your provider, the lover of your soul, and mighty to save. I never forget you. See I have you engraved on the palms of my hands. I love you so much that I work even in the small things, like the verses that are written in your journal. My hands works even then so that you will read that verse and your heart will be ministered to through it. I'm in the small things dear one." When I read that verse I started crying. Not out of sadness, but out of relief. Even when I feel alone I am not... God never forgets me or forsakes me. I am written on the palm of His hand.

Journey Day 311

I just want you all to know I found the cure-all for a long day. A bubble bath, my bible, and rain on my roof. Stress, sadness, loneliness, and every other possible emotion seemed to just melt away the minute I stepped into the tub. Sooo if you are having a long/busy/bad/emotional/icky day, grab your bible and some sweet smelling soap and go take a bath! It will work magic on your emotions... trust me! : )

Journey Day 310

So...Osama Bin Laden is dead. After 10 years of diligently searching this cruel mass murderer has finally met his end. Needless to say, people have been celebrating! At first I was one of those people. My initial response was, "Yes! The man that caused such pain in my country is finally dead! He will never be able to hurt anyone again." But, as I read a few articles online I began to feel very convicted. Yes, Bin Laden was an evil man... but I am an evil woman. Yes, his death is "justice" and he deserved it... but I deserve death too. The difference? I have accepted Christ into my life and He has erased all my sins, and made me clean. He extends mercy and grace so that I don't have to get what I deserve. Though I'll never know for sure, I think the odds are that Bin Laden never accepted the love and grace of Christ. His whole life he sought after a false God, and now after death, he is in hell. Once again I can't say that with absolute certainty but there seems to be no evidence to the contrary. And I really don't think that God is rejoicing that one of His creation is in hell... I don't think He is rejoicing that Bin Laden never turned from his ways and accepted God's free gift. God is a just God and so there is a severe consequence for his disbelief, but I don't think there is any type of rejoicing in heaven over this man's death. There was one blog that invited a discussion on the subject, and one woman who had lost people in the September 11th attacks said it well, "Today doesn't feel like joy. It feels like epic sadness. I don't think this is 'justice'--it brings noone back. Redemption does that." The death of Bin Laden will not bring back all the innocent lives taken on that fateful day. This is not to say that I can't understand the feelings of vindication that some may feel... or the feelings of relief. Growing up right outside New York City, I remember the pain that that man caused. I remember the death, and the smoke... I will never forget the empty skyline or the pictures of men and women who had lost loved ones. I can understand there joy, and I don't condemn it. But I myself find no joy, or happiness in his death. Someone compared it to a man named "Saul". I'm sure you all know the story well. He was a christian killer, but one day on the road to Demascus God redeemed him and turned him into a lover of Christ! He became Paul, and wrote a large chunk of the New Testament. God can redeem the seemingly unreedemable, and so I mourn the fact that Osama never came to know Christ... the fact that he never allowed Christ to redeem him. Maybe y'all will think I'm anti American after reading this, but I just know that the bible calls us to a life set apart, and that includes loving our enemies. As Christ was being crucified he said, "Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." He easily could have said, "Father I hate these jerks, send them all to hell." But He died the most terrible death so that we could live in heaven with God forever. I think God weeps when his creation goes to hell... no matter what they've done.

Journey Day 309

When I am having a down day I love when God gives me a song to kind of life my spirits... today he gave me "Forgiven" by Skillet.

Forgiven-- by Skillet

Forgive me now 'cause I have been unfaithful
Don't ask me why 'cause I don't know
So many times I've tried but was unable
This heart belongs to you alone

Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased 
You have forgiven

All the promises and lies 
All the times I compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven

Forgive me I'm ashamed, I have loved another
I can't explain cause I don't know
No one can take your place and there is no other
Forever yours and yours alone

Now I'm in our secret place
Alone in your embrace
Where all my wrongs have been erased
You have forgiven 

All the promises and lies
All the times of compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven

I get down on my knees 
Feel your love wash over  me
There will never be another
You're the only one forever
And you know, I'm your alone

I'm in our secret place 
Alone in your embrace 
Where all my wrongs have been erased 
You have forgiven 

All the promises and lies
All the times of compromise
All the times you were denied
You have forgiven

You have forgiven
forgiven, forgiven
forgiven, forgiven
forgiven, forgiven
FORGIVEN

Journey Day 308

Today I took a nap from approximately 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm... and it was magical! I hardly ever let myself sleep like that, because I like being productive, and I like getting stuff done! But I allowed my body to get the rest it seems it so desperately needed! And now I'm sitting at work, attempting to concentrate on getting some actual homework done whilst still making sure the kiddies in my room don't cause any disturbances. This is my "to-do list" for this evening...
-write blog (almost check)
-devo
-history paper
-powerpoint for Coms 307 project
-paper for Coms 307
-Course review for Coms 307 (check)
-group review for Coms 307

If you ask me Coms 307 requires WAY too much of my time. But only three more days of classes, then a day off, then two days of finals and then I'm done!!!! Well at least for 6 days, and then my summer class. But I shall have 6 glorious days of nothingness! I have very mixed emotions about the end of the semester. I am oh so very excited for classes to be OVER... but I'm also sad that I'll have to say goodbye forever to a lot of people. By the time I get back from China, most of my friends will be graduated and I probably won't see them again. So that is very sad... but then again I'M GOING TO CHINA!! WOOHOOOO! I'm just a big ol' bag of mixed emotions tonight. Soo there's my current life in a nutshell... no spiritual lesson in this post... just life : )
