“we seek God successfully when we realize we cannot find Him unless He shows Himself to us, and yet at the same time that He would not have inspired us to seek Him unless we had already found Him.”

on my way to birmingham to visit these two friends today. Cannot wait to see them!Anyone know a good thrifty place to shop up there? Specifically I'm looking for pewter and out-of-the-ordinary plates. Have ideas?

Happy New Year, blog world.. It feels like yesterday that I was wholeheartedly convinced that 2000 would be the end of time, wiping me clear off the planet! I was 14 and dramatic, ok?I always heard that however you ring in your new year or spend the first day of the new year will pattern how the rest of that year will turn out. If so, this is going to be the laziest year of my life!I ate some

Tomorrow, January 1st, I am starting (ok, re-starting) a one-year study of the bible. Meesh, Ber, and I bought this one year study/ journal bible in South Africa this summer. We did it for about a month and then we all headed home,and  it got really hard to keep up. Because this particular Bible's order of reading begins on January 1,  I've been waiting until now to begin. I think that following

I'm sure you've heard the story (from 2006) about the 6 girls from Taylor University who were in a tragic accident. I'm not up to speed on all of the details, but I think that 5 were killed, and one lived.  Two of the families made headlines everywhere as they grieved their daughters lives. However, because of the alterations caused by the accident, the girls were hardly noticeable. The girl who

let me tell you about my day:-slept until 9.-church (we sang all my favorites.. my 4 year old cousin keeps us in hysterics and today was no exception. he loves "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and when the SOLOIST from the choir got up to sing it, little Mac sang along with him. LOUDLY. very loudly.. loud enough for the church to hear. it was precious and priceless..).-lunch with my family/friends.-

this song is in my top five favorite songs of all time. upon first hearing it, you'd probably assume it was a hymn from great theologians like Watts or Wesley. However, it was actually written by contemporary artist, Stuart Townend. He wrote it while trying to digest what it meant for God to sacrifice His son as redemption for sin. He became passionate in his search for the depth of the Gospel..

FRIENDS. i suuuuuck at blogging. truth is, for the past week or two I have logged on to write a new post and I end up giving up after the first sentence. I have sooooooooooo much to say, but I can't ever put it all together. So, tonight, I decided it was time to buckle down and crank one out. Since I'm still in full-blown ADD mode (it's Christmas, a mess for people like me), you're going to have

A morning phone call from Africa brought vivid images of the faces I left only 3 short months ago. I just want to hold them, to tickle their little feet, and to listen to their voices talk and sing over me. The distance between us is hard for me today.im homesick for my family across the world.

ok, look. I have made this personal commitment to avoid blogging about politics. One reason? I don't know enough. Yes, my grandfather is in the House, my uncles hold offices in our city, and my next-door-neighbor is the mayor. I was birthed into a very political environment and by nature, it has been a constant part of my life. However, sometimes it's harder to be in the thick of it all and

Ok, so this is WAY OUT OF MY MORAL CODE, but today's post centers around Christmas (YIKES! It's not even November yet.

After I huffed and puffed at another Auburn loss (I mean, seriously?), I crawled in bed and started my nightly blog reading. After my first click I found "the one". You know "the one".. "the one" blog that makes you stop and go: "What the?? Have you been reading my journal?!"I have seriously considered asking him that. I think we're soul mates (ok.. maybe thats pushing it?)

If not, take a look then followup with this story.Honestly, I don't even know how this all got stirred, but some friends had coffee and decided we wanted to do something that mattered by using something we liked and believed in.

I've found lately that the songs that move me to the heart of God aren't always necessarily sung in church. There have been times recently that the Holy Spirit speaks to me through Coldplay or JJ Heller or John Mayer. There are days when I'm driving through town and I feel His presence in the voice of James Taylor or Stevie Nicks. Nothing like cruising through town with a hand raised in praise as

Hey friends..Only have time for a quick blog update, we're busy running errands in town this morning and we only alotted like 30 minutes for the internet!The last week has been full of quality time with my South African friends, and my roommates (below). Late Monday afternoon we took a hike up the mountain behind our house.. the walk was not glamorous.. we were huffing and puffing and passing our

“..when we are whole, we are nurtured by what has been invested in us, and at the same time freely give of ourselves to others” Erwin McManus (Uprising: Revolution of the Soul)When I look back at what I have seen the Lord do here, and when I reevaluate the reasons I think the Lord has had me be on this trip, I know it was to grow me as someone who lives out of a generous spirit. I haven’t always

first-- thanks so much for all of the encouragement after my blog yesterday.. the emails and comments have really shed light on things and I feel confident that The Lord is doing just as He wants. I know i say it every blog, but you guys are really incredible. I'm SO thankful for you.second- I have lots of things to blog about, but I'm running out of time.. stay tuned because tomorrow I'm posting

I have to admit.. figuring out what to say on this blog has not been easy today. I have a lot of things on my mind.. and none of them go together at all. Maybe I should make this a bullet point blog, to make it easier for you readers (are you even out there?... I think it’s just my mom..) Maybe I’ll just ramble.. See, I can’t even decide HOW to write this blog. Blogging shouldn’t be so

Hey friends.. only have 3 minutes left on my internet but I just wanted you to know that we are safe and sound in Swaziland. We've been here since early Tuesday morning and it has been nothign short of an amazing 2 days! I've done more happy crying and bear hugging than I've done it quite some time. Its so good to be back. I'll be back in South Africa on Monday.. I may not be able to write again

I know I posted that we'd be headed to Swaziland today, but the team we are following there missed their flights from America, pushing them back to arrive today.. which pushes us back to leaving for Swazi to tomorrow... 4am tomorrow! YUCK!But nonetheless, we are SWAZI-BOUND! I can hardly stand it.. I'm so ready!I don't know what it was about Swazi that made my heart go nuts. Maybe it was the

WE ARE OFFICIALLY SWAZI-BOUND!!!!I can't even contain myself. If you've been a part of my life for the last year, you know the real desire I had to reconnect with the special people of Swaziland. I LOVE THEM DEEPLY and hold them in a very intimate part of me. I promise, if you had spent the summer with them.. or even a day or two.. you would feel the same. THIS IS WHY I CAME BACK. Unfortunately,

Don't have any time to post.. but just wondered if you guys could lift up a personal prayer request for me today?I am really sick. I have been fighting a cold since I got here and it's gotten progressively worse. I have been breaking a fever since about 6 this morning. I have no appetite and I'm really weak. They've given me meds, and I've spent a lot of time in bed.. but I'm not really feeling

Truth is, when I finally get on the internet I end up chatting or emailing and before I know it, my minutes are gone!(interuption: 'Lets Get Physical' is blaring on the radio in the internet cafe.

In late April, 20 of the most special people I know got together, bought shoes, painted them, and sent them with me to hand out to some other special people here in Africa. If you haven't ever heard of TOM'S shoes, you should check them out: http://www.tomsshoes.com/. TOM's makes the promise that every time you buy a pair of their shoes, they will give a pair to children in need. Last year they

Hey Guys.. its Lee again finally :).Thanks Mom for putting up that prayer request, you're the best!As mom mentioned, Tapiwa (this is the correct spelling and its pronounced TAh-PEE-WAH), one of the Zimbabwean refugees has been very ill. He had been suffering from a toothache most of all last week, and we kept him medicated with ibuprofen, and even some of our pain pills from home. However, the

Hello all,It's Lee's mom once again. Lee called on Friday and asked me to post. The house internet was not working until today. Sorry, Lee!Do you remember Lee talking about the refugees from Zimbabwe? Her call Friday night was about one of these refugees. His name is Tambuwe, or something close-she called me in a driving rainstorm, but did spell it repeatedly. He has an infected tooth. But

Hello Friends!I hope you guys had a great holiday weekend surrounded by your friends and family!4th of July is one of my favorites.. which is why this weekend was a bit more difficult than usual.Being in Africa is unreal, and I can't tell you how blessed I feel to be here. I also can't tell you how clearly I heard the call to come back to Africa.. BUT.. If I told you that answering and resting in

Hello to All - this is Lee's Mom again. I am glad to report that Lee and Teresa arrive safely in Johannesburg and their host family was there to pick them up. This was a great relief to the girls. The are presently at Alabanza waiting... Apparently, Africa has its' own time table for getting things done. They are not real sure what is next. What she wants more that anything is a shower.

Frankfurt is for the birds!Don't have too much time to explain because I'm running out of internet minutes (that I had to give an arm and a leg for).If you want to go through 3 back to back security centers, walk 2 miles to your terminal, be 900 degrees, and have no clue what ANYTHING says.. come to Frankfurt.Here is T and I after stopping for a break on our 10 mile hike to our gate:One a more

From Lee's mom - Lee called this morning. She has made it safely to Germany. She is not thrilled with the Frankfort Airport. They charged her $45, for internet but then it didn't work =:(. She has a 9 hour lay over and then a 10 hour flight to Johannesburg. I will let you know when I hear from her again. She asked that you keep on praying! P.S. Baby Emma Katherine Creel is precious.

Juest got to chicago with about 1 hour and 15 minutes to spare! Just met up with Theresa and we are both SOOOOO excited.I'm going to keep this short as I'm WORN OUT and want to rest when I have time. We leave for Frankfurt in 30 minutes.. and we'll be in the air for about 8 1/2 hours. I'm not really sure how the internet works in Germany, but I'll hopefully be posting again in the morning!Hey,

Hey all.. I made it to Atlanta in plenty of time and I'm waiting to board my flight to Chicago.. just got a bag of cheezits and a water and I'm set. It feels good to have all my luggage (after a little switcharoo, they both weighed UNDER the limit.. PRAISE GOD!) headed to SA and off my hands. I love watching people, so this airport has provided plenty opportunities to stay busy.I'm supposed to

What a week it has been! I mentioned earlier that this week we've been celebrating my birthday (yes.. a whole week. everyone should do it!) .. The fact that my birthday just happened to be the day before I leave the countRy has allowed me the opportunity to say goodbyes to a lot of people in person.

I do WANT to do better, but life (and my lack of patience and discipline) doesn't always allow for it. But anyways, here we go..Life has been crazy.

processing this tonight.. (again from Brennan Manning's "The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus"):"It is always true to some extent that we make our images of God. It is even truer that our image of God makes us. Eventually we become like the God we image.."I wonder how many times, and in what depth, I have made God out of my own image instead of letting Him shape me out of His.hmm.

Reading "The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus" by Brennan Manning right now. I've heard a lot about his work, and some friends have raved about his "Ragamuffin Gospel"... but, I've actually never read anything by him until now. I'm only on chapter one, but im so much enjoying his perspective. Several things have caught my eye and made me pause to process. The intro alone sucked me in, and had me

today has made me think...Do you ever feel like your faith is circumstantial? Like you're up one minute and then just when the world throws something you're way you act the opposite. I have a moody faith. I'm coming to recognize how often I let the world dictate how I feel, what I say, how I love people. I'm so thankful the Lord's mood does not change. My heart is growing so fond of the

just a few sobering thoughts the Father gave me today:-He has no variation.-He defines me and in Him I am identified.-He desires my reality, not my ideality.-He is my ONLY source of energy---- He is relational with me when I dont feel like being in community with Him-----those were pretty clearly recieved today.sorry i've been so slack about updating. maybe i'll get on tomorrow and do a little

After Saturday, I was so upset.. just down in the dumps at the outcome of what i thought would be a relaxing, fun weekend. Sunday came bringing great joy and the greatest reminder of the LIVING, FORGIVING God. WOW at

im so sad spring break is almost over. well, that spring break IS over. even though I didn't get to go to a trendy beach and I dont have a killer suntan upon my return (ok so I really AM upset about that. i've gotta do something about being pasty), I still had such a great time! It was hard for me at first, seeing as how I've never NOT gone to the beach for spring break... and I definitely didn't

ok. can you read that? it says THERE IS NO ONE LIKE YOU. i was looking through some pictures on my computer.. had some music playing in the background.. and I really just felt God's presence. weird right? yea.

super QUICK update (have i mentioned that im SO tired??)Jen's surgery went smoothly. She went in around 5:45 this morning.. while they were in surgery the doctors not only removed the mass, but her thyroid gland as well. They also observed the areas around the thyroid where the mass had been and made sure that nothing around it looked different or harmed in any way, and it did NOT! PRAISE JESUS!

this is going to be scattered, but this is just a small summary of whats been going on in my heart and head these past few weeks. this isn't rocket science and these aren't radically deep thoughts, but they have had great meaning to me lately..tonight, at bible study, we got into a really interesting conversation about grace and about brokenness. we began to agree that we all struggle with

this day turned out to be much more than i expected. let me explain.so i wake up this morning at 7:14. what? no FAIR! i went to bed at 1:00, so tired that I could barely keep my head up. I didn't have class until 11, so needless to say.. i couldn't WAIT to sleep in! But, God has a funny way of getting my attention. I woke up very anxious..

i know i know. you're probably like, "lee is such a hypocrite! she said she'd never get one of these!"- CORRECT. i bashed blogs! I just didnt understand why anyone would ever want to write personal things on a website for lots of people to see... and other random sketchballs to find. eeeew. see.. I felt like the raw part of me that comes out in my writing was suited only for my.. and Jesus' eyes.
