About this Blog!

Hello Wonderful ITL's!

I hope your summers are going well! As I was sitting doing devotions today, I was struck by something I feel was directly at me, and could be for you guys as well. In 1 Chronicles 28:9-10, David is giving his successor Solomon a charge: "Acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work." I especially feel as though this is for all of us, because God has graciously given us positions of authority over peoples spiritual walks. He could have chosen any one else, but for some reason, he chose us. So why would we ever neglect God's opinion over our own?

This blog is for all of us. If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I write down almost EVERYTHING! I love seeing prayers get answered and it would be great to encourage one another before this year starts. What I believe made this last year so wonderful in the dorms, was that it was coasting on the prayers of those who desired God first. So, post a prayer! As you listen to God and hear what he wants, share it! We are all in this together for this next year and the best thing we can possibly do is pray. And don't be afraid to be specific! This blog is private and won't be shared with anyone else but ourselves.

Blessings!
