Late Nite '07!!

Only four days til we kick off Late Nite '07!! We are super pumped to see the amazing things that God is going to do this year. I am so honored to get to be part of the team making it happen. Who woulda thought, just a few years ago, that God would use ME of all people?! It is a very humbling thing to see His grace in action. I have really felt a call to holiness the last few days. I mean, we are all called to be holy (in the Greek, to be "set apart"), but this change has taken my awareness of it to a whole new level. HATE sin and LOVE righteousness. That's what we gotta do. Mike sometimes refers to me as a "Kamakaze Christian" because I am so "hard core"... others sometimes remind me to work on having grace with people... but I will not be easy on myself in this area. My pursuit of excellence is only going to increase this year, and I will not apologize for it!!

On another note... my mom and I went to go see Freedom Writers last Friday afternoon. WHAT a good movie! There was a couple rough spots, but overall, I went away with such a feeling of "I can do anything" and it was great. It's a true story about a teacher who changes the lives of some kids who had a really tough life in Long Beach after the Rodney King riots. Race relations there were horrible. They all killed each other just for their color- and not just black and white, but hispanic and Asian as well. Last night, Chris and I went to Barnes & Noble so I could buy the book. When we got home, I couldn't put it down. The book is journal entries from the students over their four years in Ms. Gruwell's class. As much as I love the inner city, you must KNOW I love this book!

Finally, I would like to pledge to blog more... my loyal blog readers have gotten annoyed with my lack of blogging- I will promise to make time for it... but ONLY if you sometimes leave me comments so I know you are out there!!!!!!!!!!
