| Chicago RAKE
RAKE is an organization that will be starting at the beginning of the school year. RAKE stands for "Random Acts of Kindness for Everyone". RAKE desires to show the love of Jesus Christ through extending acts of kindness to people in need. We will be serving our community in random acts of kindness throughout the year. My desire is to see this organization grow into the rest of the community. This is not a "school function" or a school organization even, but a chance for you to serve God and people. RAKE was inspired by Romans 12:9-16. I have realized that it is very important to serve people through doing acts of kindness for them. If this is your desire then this is just the organization that you would want to be in!

| ok soo.. I am home for like 2 weeks before off to cali.. I am living it up..
my brother is getting so big.. its kinda crazy all the things he is learning to do and say.. I am amazed!
so I have two foster siblings right now.. and the 5 year old is funny.. like tonight.. she said she couldnt see to put her seatbelt on.. and my dad was like you need to see?.. and she goes "yea we are all black in here" lol cause she is black and she always talks about how she should be with a black family bc she is black and we always have to explain to her that we are all the same on the inside.. so it was just funny that she said that we are all black..ha
everything is so much easier at home..maybe its just me but this school year was unbelievably complicated and hard to get through.. and its a relief to have some air to breathe and not be so stressed and confused all the time!

softball is ending..we made it to the conference tournament.. double elimination.. we started off bad losing to St. Francis.. then we picked it up to take out Stritch, St. Francis, and Olivet(the first time in Trinity's history beating Olivet).. then we also for the first time in trinity's history went to the conference championship.. we played St. X.. we lost.. but it was a really good ending.. we might still be able to qualify for regionals but we dont know yet..
cant wait for my internship.. it will be a lot of fun.. I am going home friday.. and staying there for two weeks before I go to Cali.. I am gonna go to cali the 29 or so.. I cant wait.. I want to see myself grow in Christ and see my life forming in front of my eyes..
loving life.. learning a lot |

| What if I stumble?
What If I Stumble?
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.
What if I stumble?
What if I fall?
Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
Father please forgive me for I can not compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows
If struggle has a purpose
On the narrow road you've carved
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar
*Do they see the fear in my eyes?
*Are they so revealing?
*This time I cannot disguise
*All the doubt I'm feeling
What if I stumble?
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that
You're up against a wall, it's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that
I hear You whispering my name [You say]
"My love for You will never change" [never change]
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You are my comfort, and my God
Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?
this entry.. is for the people that feel like I have let them down.. I am sorry.. I am trying sooo hard.. I wish I could do better..I am sorry I dont live up to your expectations for me... I try so hard.. I wish I could express that to you but I dont even know if anyone believes that..
and for those who feel let down by others.. remember everyone has their walk with Christ.. and others are farther along than others.. and dont take it as an insult or personal if someone messes up or stumbles..there is already enough guilt and pain that surrounds them and to be disappointed in them or be judgemental(even without trying too..) can cause even more guilt, doubt and confusion.. leading into a deeper crisis in their relationship with God.. people who stumble need to see your UNCONDITIONAL love and comfort..trust me.. I know.. |
