WOAH YA!

I would just like to start out saying, i am the worst blogger in blog history haha. I thought I could do this all the time, but it doesn't work.
God has been rocking my heart the last couple of days. He’s been like look at me!!! I’m right here, see what I can do, and how I would love you to help me. Seriously that’s how I feel lol. It’s been cool because in my foundations of global studies class we talk about the most amazing and heart breaking things. Its mainly mission focused and we talked a lot about the unreached people in the world. 1/3 of the people in the world today do not know anything about Jesus, who he is, nada! Or have a church around them or missionaries for that matter. There is a website called: joshuaproject.net. It’s amazing, check it out. Pray for the unreached people group of the day. There are 11,000 people groups in the world who are not reached. that’s a lot of groups and more counting the individual people. we spent time praying for different people groups, hearing stories, and just having the lord transform our hearts. Matthew 28:18-20 says, "Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All Authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Of all nations in Greek is panta ta ethne. Panta is all. TA is the. Ethne is nations. Ethne is referring to people groups. To share the good news not just to individuals, nations, but to people groups. We have been talking a lot about being world Christians, and how we all need to be like that. Murray (my teacher) shared with us the top 5 Christian non-negotiables. 1. Everyone should have the chance to hear about the gospel in there own language. 2. Everyone must be given the opportunity to read the bible in their own heart language, knowing that god speaks their language and hears there prayer. 3. Everyone must have access to a local Christian fellowship. The church is God’s agent for change in a fallen world. Mission efforts that do not emphasize the centrality of the local church will ultimately fail. 4. Everyone should have the basic necessities for life. Food, water, clothing, shelter, and health care. 5. God’s desire is that everyone be able to lead a productive life of fulfillment spiritually, mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Anywaysssss… i could go on forever and ever.
If anyone actually read this and wants to know more. There is so much I could share!!!! Ahhhhh. I feel so blessed to be here. And to be in a major where I know God wants me. its wonderful to see that most of the people in the ICS major already know that they are called there and to serve God among the nations or even in the United States. There are so many opportunities with so many cool emphasis!! as I’ve shared I’m probably going to emphasis in international development and hopefully urban ministry. We shall see!!!
Yesterday I had the chance to talk to Meghan, which was soo fun haha. Man good best friend laughs and I’ve been talking to my sister. I miss her so much!! But school is wonderful. Good friends. God is so good and worthy of our praise.
The end.

oh myyy

sorry.
the last blog was cut off.
it pretty much starts out with the fact thati went on a retreat this weekend and just sharing about my major.

oh retreats!

i think there might be a couple more. so that should tell you a little about the major haha. so for me i think i will have an emphasis in international development. i just love the idea of supplying peoples physical needs as well as there spirtitual needs. i might double emphasis with urban ministry because i think they would be perfect together! and take an islamic class haha. like how cool would it be to work in turkey like istanbul and do some development stuff. but since its so big you have urban skills haha and then i'll be familiar with the islamic culture. i don't know just an idea! i seriously want to go everywhere. ALL OVERRRR the world. i'm so excited about life right now. i realized i've been like i want to go here and here and here!!! instead of saying i want this nation to know about jesus. there are SO MANY lost people who have never heard the name of Jesus. we have been talking about that a lot in my foundations of global studies class. if you check our joshuaproject.net you will see that. it makes me so sad to know that people will die without knowing the name of Jesus, nothing about him. all of my classes have been amazing and heart changing. the lord is changing my heart towards ministry and just glorifying him. one thing i miss is being around non-christians. i need to find a place to be with them haha. i need to find a job first of all. i've been searching, but i don't have a car. i was thinking about young life but i don't have a car for that. others do but i just don't have the time for it. i applied to be in eagles club which is a volunteer positiion where you house people who are looking at biola and its a cool way to encourage people. also i am going to apply to be a coordinator or a staff member for missions conference. you see they are all on campus things! ahh its so overwhelming. next weekend i will be here, praise the lord haha. seriously biola feels like home! and the weekend after in AZ at my RAs for a floor retreat. woah. its on a lake. with a pool. YAYYY.
anywho.
i must go.

biola biola :)

i'd like to just start out saying that blogging is stressful haha. seriously it gets me stressed just thinking about it. but i love it too so its so hard.
anyways haha
i'll give you a preview of whats been going down in la mirada.
all of last week was super stressful. so much reading!!!!
i am getting involved with a small group here on campus and i'm LOVING IT!
we had a dorm competition aka so much fun... for dodgeball! all the dorms were different colors and horton was black. we were such beasts. we didn't win, freaking hope did... but still we were so hardcore. after dodgeball all of us OLIVE girls (my floor) went to the store and bought tons of ice cream and ate it on the grass infront of it haha. so gross and fatty.
on friday we had a fashion show for the 100 year of biola. people designed all sorts of cool clothes for the centinial year!!! and there were rapperrrrs there haha SOO FUNNY... everyone like stormed near stagged and just started dancing- which is one of the things we shouldnt be doing here at biola, but i feel like they are becoming more layed back about that issue. and thennnn after the fashion show there was another band...not rapper, they were kind of like the strokes. it was so freaking fun. and then i went to downtown disney!!!
and get thisssss. i saw melanie and the whole binzoni family!!! so crazy. ah i love God's timing. i was so hungry so i walked out of espn where all my homies were... and then bamb there was melanie. i pretty much tackled her i was so excited, but still it was so overwhelming. it was so comforting too.
yesterday i kind of layed around until my mom came to see me. shes going to palm desert for a week. we went to downtown disney again and i got my disneyland passport!!! so i can go to disneyland whenever i want haha. and oh man i am so stoked about that. and then last night there was a soccer game... the girls won against oregon tech. after that i layed on the field and talked/laughed with people forever and then returned to my room to do anthropology hw (which i LOVE).
this morning i was suppose to go to church but i woke up as they were leaving. which was actually a total blessing. i woke up and holly micheff called adn was like angela i need to go to biola, i feel like god has it on my heart. and all this crazy cool stuff and we had such a rad conversation. and the cool thing was that yesterday i texted her being like holly this place is totally for you! and she was like ehhhh maybe... because her heart has been set on davis. anyways it was cool.
after that i went to the prayer chapel on campus and just had an amazing time being with God. its kind of hard being here in the sense that everyone is a christian or says that they are. i love talking to nonchristians and being around them. i just love it. and its also so important to have fellowship with christians but when you are a chrisitan school sometimes you don't realize how fortunate you are. it was cool though just reading through John adn then psalm 96. it was rocking me. just glorifying God in everything you do! thats all he wants first. for us to give him glory. and then i saw a girl playing the guitar. shes an ICS maybe too and shes from compton. anyways we had a really encouraging talk about what God was doing in our lives. ah i loved it. so it was good i didn't go to church this morning. i needed alone time with God.

things to prayyy:
a job- i'm desperate and i've applied all over the place on campus. i didn't get one of them so i'm praying about the others.

yuppp and just to focus on Christ always.
p.s. i have this rad class called foundations of global studies that is totally changing the way i feel and think about things. its crazy. i'll write a blog just on that haha.

p.s.s. i miss you guys and thanks for your prayers!
