*March Madness*

That's how i feel right about now!
it's a shout of victory if u weren't able to tell the difference!

finished my series of examinations this month and get to breathe for just a little bit these next days~

My schedule has been piling up and my faith is really being put to the test~
i came across a quote the other day from my sister in Christ that read,

"Feed your faith, so doubt will starve to death"

so tru so tru

with life zoomin by i easily forget why i'm doing all this, why this is all important and significant in my life... what's the point..purpose?

"Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
only what’s done for Christ will last.
And when I am dying, how happy I’ll be,
if the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee."

das werd.

everything i am is because of Him,
everything i do is because of Him,
everything that happens is not w/o a purpose
even the struggles...

a verse i've been reflecting on in my time of solace....

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
2 Tim 4:7

let's run this race and finish strong fam,

life is short and eternity starts now....

"Feed500"


since my last blog,

New Wave Ski Retreat happened, Feed500 happened, bible study @ Pastor Stephen's happened, and now, i'm waiting to go to the UNITED concert on the 10th!~



school has been catching up as well~

working w. CHAMPION has been a blessing as well in it's own unique & weary way...

one of the students i "graduated" is coming to EMC w me this Sunday which is exciting!
Dominican catholic John Bowne student, who recently moved from Florida seeking community w aspirations in becoming an actor~
Praying he'd find purpose in his relationship w Christ to send him to new heights and adventures!
do yo thang God =)

my old friend Annie also came and visited my place w a whole bunch of other great friends i havent seen for a while =)

ne how,

i think one thing that stood out this week was my time @ Feed500'0'... going into Harlem with my team - Kenny, Aaron, & Marissa

some of us came back from a homeless missions in D.C., APPA, and it was still hard for some of us to approach some homeless or better yet finding them!

i was proud and encouraged to see the New Wave reaching out and praying it wouldn't happen only through programs like the NYC Urban Project (NYCUP), but in our everyday lives...

God calls us to care for the poor and needy and to "act justly, love mercy and walk humbly" w Him

something that stuck w me was the fact that poverty & homelessness can end in our generation...... think about it.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners..."
