I am here for Friends

About Me

my name is erin. i am 21 and i go to california baptist university. basically my life consists of daily remembering that everything i need can be found in Christ, and trying to live a life that brings glory to Him alone...and i mess things up along the way...everything else i do involves that and consists of working at the cbu post office..a lot, hanging out with friends, listening to music, reading books, walking, drinking coffee (i have a problem), watching movies, going on the stupid internet way too much, and learning more about world issues so i can try and do what ghandi said and "be the change [i] want to see in this world". about 6 years ago i acquired a small obsession with africa..i just really want to help the people there in any way i can..and i pretty much just want to help all people everywhere but sometimes it overwhelms me and then i feel complacent. i hate complacency..and i just want to "walk in love" like ephesians 5:2 says to...by loving everyone one the way Christ loves me. that's what i want to do with my life. also i like sleeping, and laughing..sometimes i even laugh in my sleep (true story), especially when i dream about jim carey. =] i wish there could be a space here..but it just isnt working that way...this is a spaaaaaacceeee. -"i want to live and i want to breath to search out Your heart and all of Your mystery" (from phil whickam) I GET TO GO TO AFRICA IN MAY. AND IM EXCITED. A LOT. =]aim-cheeselady78 mmmhhhmmm..yeah..mmmhhhmm.haha."i want to tear down these walls that hold me inside"

Books:

=the Bible =1 Peter 1:18For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20God chose him for this purpose long before the world began, but now in these final days, he was sent to the earth for all to see. And he did this for you. =c.s. lewis: till we have faces, the problem of pain a grief observed, screwtape letters, mere christianity, the great divorce, the weight of glory, out of the silent planet, the magicians nephew, the lion the witch and the wardrobe, prince caspian the voyage of the dawn treader =the fellowship of the ring =the return of the king =j.r.r. tolkien's sanctifying myth =more than a carpenter =donald miller's blue like jazz =donald miller's through painted deserts =donald miller's searching for God knows what

Heroes:

i love the maura!!=]i love the miranda too!=]~Jesus ~14Because God's children are human beings--made of flesh and blood--Jesus also became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death. 15Only in this way could he deliver those who have lived all their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.16We all know that Jesus came to help the descendants of Abraham, not to help the angels. 17Therefore, it was necessary for Jesus to be in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. He then could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18Since he himself has gone through suffering and temptation, he is able to help us when we are being tempted.QUOTE FROM MEWITHOUTYOU'S AARON WEISS: "Let there be nothing but gratitude in our hearts, we who lounge comfortably in front of our computer screens, well fed and out of harms way. May God protect us from our luxuries, grant us a holy restlessness with our apathy and give us the compassion that would allow us to give all we have to those in need, not out of compulsion or pasturing, but to do our duty in Love"
