En route to Urbana '12!

I'm on the bus to Urbana now and I'm so excited! I can't wait to meet and catch up with people and hear about what God has been doing in their lives, how He has been moving and share with them my stories too! I also found out that a lot of my friends from everywhere- even ones from years ago are going!! I am so excited!!! Good things are about to happen and I can feel it!! I think I was so excited that I may have bothered a few people to try and talk to them about it but it's okay!!!! Too excited!

As I'll be going to the states, I'm not sure how much Internet I will use access to, so this is all I shall post for now! Hopefully I can have daily updates!

I also need to choose a book to read next for my quest to read the whole bible. Maybe I will do a bible plan.


Update: so all the busses stopped at the same stop over location and I got to see more friends that left from different locations! I am so glad to see some old and familiar faces!!! Yay!! I also decided to start reading Acts as my next book because the mini bible I brought with me told me (in the intro) that the book of Acts follows the book of Luke, as they were both written by him and talk about how the disciples continued to minister and evangelize to those around them. This book talks mostly about spreading the gospel of good news to both the Jews and the Gentiles and reveals who is invited into the Kingdom of Heaven.

This is something I am interested in because I have wondered about how the whole "chosen ones" thing worked; who gets to enter into heaven and why? I hope this book will provide some insight to the deeper questions of who I am and where I belong in His kingdom. As I am also interested in missions and spreading the word, this will be a good place to help me learn how to do that and to train myself through the experience of the disciples. There are 28 chapters in this book, so I will read two chapters a day. Aiming to finish this book in two weeks, so it should get me to just the beginning of the next school term (in January).



Luke 2:25-28 (CEV) says,

"What David said are really the words of Jesus, “I always see the Lord near me, and I will not be afraid with him at my right side. Because of this, my heart will be glad, my words will be joyful, and I will live in hope. The Lord won't leave me in the grave. I am his holy one, and he won't let my body decay. He has shown me the path to life, and he makes me glad by being near me.”"

Acts 2:41-42 says,

" On that day about 3,000 believed his message and were baptized. They spent their time learning from the apostles, and they were like family to each other. They also broke bread and prayed together."

See you soon!!!
