Renewal...

So, I try to mix up my times with the Lord with different readings and routines....I haven't been really consistent lately. The ends of semesters always put me in this horribly lazy funk of an overdramatized sense of apathy.....things really aren't that busy, I'm ridiculous.....that being said, today while obviously paying attention to Dr. Weix in Shakespeare I read one of my favorite devotionals from Mary Wilder Tileston, I found her from a link on Elisabeth Elliot's site. She had a few quotes that challenged and encouraged me in my complacency...they were following a reference to the command in Colossians 2:6 "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him" shoooo I needed to be called out with that. I have been "walking" in a sense of anxiety over situations, laziness and apathy, selfishness....

Lord help me to walk in you.

Here are the quotes:

ARE we assimilating His mind, His way of looking at things, His judgments, His spirit? Is the Christ-conscience being developed in us? Have we an increasing interest in the things which interest Him, an increasing love of the things that He loves, an increasing desire to serve the purposes He has at heart? "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you," is the test by which we can try ourselves.
HUGH BLACK


This I saw, that when a soul loves God with a supreme love, God's interests and his are become one. It is no matter when nor where nor how Christ should send me, nor what trials He should exercise me with, if I may be prepared for His work and will.

My Sincerest Apologies....

It's difficult to change an aspect of your day to day and remain consistent from the get go. I just want to say that blogging and I haven't been in a relationship for long, so cut a sista some slack.....Breathing is a perfect example of something we just get used to and know is going to happen.....blogging, will get to that point for me, in time. Just FYI, I promise I won't let it die down like a lot of other grand ideas in my life, adopting a killer whale being on the same list....

FALL BREAK!

So I'm going on a 4-day tour of charming Southern towns with my mom, sis, grandma and aunt. I absolutely love roadtrips and vacations, but I have a feeling this is going to be top notch! First of all, I love historic districts and antique shops, both Savannah and Charleston are full of 'em!

AAANNNNDDDD......

The Lord is doing some powerful things in my life and the lives of my family. I am so excited to spend time in the car with these gals just talking about the goodness of the Lord and being in a place of abandonment to Him. Laughter is healing and good company is priceless, with things that are happening and have happened, it'll be so good to just be and love on each other!

p.s. I just rode my new bike to class and my bum hurts.....

Tired.....

I'm much more successful at typing blog posts than actually writing for academic purposes......thus why I'm posting this right now...... my eyes are crossing, I'm laughing at myself, and I'm speaking out loud with a tear or two about what I will say to Tim Tebow on our wedding day in front of our family and friends...

Tim pursue me already....I can't wait to be your wife.......

Cordially,

Katie Tebow

Can I get an amen!

Sweet Procrastination

I've never started an assignment until the last minute. I work really well under pressure. Right now I'm typing a 6 page paper while watching Hoarders....I love this show.....it makes me feel really sane and organized (though I'm far from both), it is really sad though!

My momma is visiting for the night!!! I love having her here, we have so much fun. I love how similar we are, I love that I can talk to her about everything...she's a blessing!

I need a haircut.

Love you bye

Home

I love my parent's house in the fall. My mom is obsessed with candles and it makes the entire world smell WONDERFUL! I love that home is a refuge and retreat, I always feel loved and revived when I leave to head back to where the Lord has me in the world. I'm really excited for whatever is next, and it's even more comforting to remember home is always here...

I HAVE A BLOG!!!

So, I've considered having a blog multiple times but never got around to creating it........and well.......ta da! Here we are! I am so excited! Im not really sure if I'll have a theme or what the purpose is yet, but I'm just going to ramble about random things I ponder and what I'm learning.........k....1 2 3 go!
