| so, apparently i haven't gotten any better at keeping up with this thing...but i decided to do this today, for a couple reasons. 1. my roommate made one and sent me the friend invite thing, and in order to accept i had to log on, then i was here. 2. both of my roommates are out of the country, and i figure i can check theirs, they should be able to check mine, though, mine will probably continue to be rather boring! and 3. just about everything has changed since i last posted, so i thought if nothing else a life's record, for myself would work.
update: i no longer live with justin and jenny, jenny's pregnant! i do live with 2 girls that work with me at the church. they're pretty great, though they're both in Japan right now. i work at the church still, though i'm no longer a student, i work full time for my pastor as the secretary of Children's Ministries. i've been leading a core group for almost a year now, and went from 3 girls to 9 girls to 5 girls, lots of transition there. and hopefully by the Grace of God, i have matured and become more Christlike. though you'd have to judge that because i seem to fail miserably at everything i attempt. He has taught me so much in the last while, it is overwhelming to think about summing it all up.
i suppose that will have to suffice for now, i am going to go play soccer! woohoo!
in Christ

| So, i'm totally the worst
Xanga subscriber ever, since i haven't posted anything since
February...almost a whole year. wow! how the times fly. quick
update, because it's late and i'm tired...i think everybody (not many)
who would read this know me well enough to know that i still live in
LA, but if you don't, then you do now (can you tell i'm tired by my
mumblyness) Well, all that to say...i am sitting under the best
Biblical teaching in the world, and learning so much...wow, i can't
even begin to talk about the lessons i've learned. God is so
gracious to teach me when i'm such an unfaithful sinner, how amazing is
He!! Not only do i get the best teaching, but i am also
surrounded by people who constantly teach me, and for whom i am so
thankful!! Justin and Jenny are just incredible, i never stop
learning from them, wow, they love the Lord with their lives.
Lela, is my discipler, she is so amazing, i can't even tell you how
much stuff i come to her with, my foolishness, and her patience, so
Christlike! and my Core Group Girls, i am a core group leader
(meaning a small group of girls get together for a Bible study once a
week, and somebody actually made me a leader of
them...aaaaaahhhh) but i am learning so much from them.
wow, they humble me, and i'm their leader, ha, they teach me more than
i could ever teach them!!
well, that's it for now.
maybe i'll get better about this thing and post on it a little more
often...right...don't hold you breath = )
in His grace,

| HELLO EVERYBODY!!!
well, this week has been about the sam'ol'sam'ol, i'm still plain lil me who just goes to work, school, and church. but it's awesome, i just have to share how grateful i am to be working in such a cool place, and and to go to church here too is just so incredible. but that's enough about that boring stuff, what i really want to talk about is the book i'm reading. oh man, it is a life changer. it is all scripturally based, and has some amazing insight into how truly black our hearts are without the grace and love of the cross. it's been such a learning experience, and i'm only in chapter 7. well, if you have the chance, i highly recommend it, it's called The Enemy Within.
Also, this weekend is Resolved, a conference with all these great speakers (John MacArthur, C.J. Mehaney, Steve Lawson, Rick Holland, Kirk Cameron) and musicians (Derek Webb, and Sandra McCraken) and it's specifically designed for young single people and how to LIVE IT. to live a life worthy of the calling of the Gospel. it's all based on the resolutions of Jonathan Edwards (a british puritan theologian from the 18th century). Lord willing i will learn a lot and GOD will be Glorified...i'll let you know how it was when i get back on monday!! 
in Him,

| So, now i am working and going to school, and i knew i would be bad about keeping this thing updated. but who knows. well, i have been working at Grace Community Church for a week now, and it's fun, i get to see lots of fun people. i am also going to school in the afternoons, and that's okay, i am taking an EMT class, which i really like, so it's not all bad. : )
well, that's me, so please let me know what's happenin in your life and how i can be praying for you!!!!
in Him,

| So, jill made me make this site, and i just don't know about it.
but anyways, my brain is on overloas, i had a research paper to write
that was due today (I'M FINISHED!!!, and i turned it in) on the String
Theory...who'd a thunk i would be writing a paper on quantum physics...
so ya, this week will be a bit crazy, i have 2 finals coming up and all
sorts of stuff to do before the end of the winter term.
but enough about that stuff, i want to share what i have been convicted
of recently. On sunday there was this amazing sermon on
contentment and it hit me hard. wow, it was so cool, and i
haven't been able to stop thinking about it since, so with that i am
making consciuos decisions towards learning contentment as paul did in
Philippians 4:10-13. if you want e-mail me and i'll give you the
notes, or the run down.
so, have a BLESSED DAY
in Him,
julz
