College

College is a perpetual weekend with homework. It rules.

Lame.

No matter how nice you are to someone, some people will always be a jerk to you. Frick.

Also - Everyone told me how I should update this thing or get one for that matter and I do a big huge post on my thoughts and hopes for the future and I get nothing. Lame. Very lame.

I'm in a crappy mood.

Suck it.

There is so much on the horizon...

I feel like everything is radically changing at the same time. Be it my college move or the way in which I think the church is going.. all of it is incredibly exciting.

I will be moving to Hope International University in just over one day and I am incredibly excited about that. I can't wait to learn more about the bible and more about myself in relation to christ. I am excited to share a space with my roomates Trevor and Matt and for all of the adventures that we are going to have. I am going to miss Rachel terribly but I know that I will still be able to see her often. Me and Steve (Theresa's boyfriend) will be switiching off car pools that will be making the trek up to malibu every other week... so that is incredibly exciting.

I feel that the church is starting to move in a new direction. Like a revolution is beginning to stir it's whispers and different people are beginning to hear them. I think that the thoughts of the church are moving in such a way that the focus will no longer be on what the church can do for us, but what we can do for the church. Such opposite doctrine from the likes of Osteen and his ilk. I really do think something is big is going to happen soon with this, and I really I do hope that I begin to understand these principals better than I already do. I am so tired of health and wealth gospels and I can see that many others in the church are just as unhappy with it. No more watered down gospel. No more background selfish ambitions. Exciting to say the least!

I am so full of hope right now. Hope that I can actually do something with what God has given me. God is love and all I want to do is show that on earth.

I'm sure I'll get a whole lot of comments on this one ...

Love,

Niall

It feels like...

There is going to be some huge change on the horizon. In everything.

I'm kind of excited. :)

I'll elaborate later.

3 Things

1. In two weeks from tomorrow I move into the dorms at Hope International University.

2. I haven't seen Rachel in two weeks. I miss her like crazy. She comes home tomorrow. :)

3. Listen to the band The Glorious Unseen. For fans of ambient means and honest worship. Seriously. It's phenomenal. www.myspace.com/thegloriousunseen

Godspeed!

Anyone Else?

Does anyone else watch televangelists and just want to yell scream and shake the tv?

I think I've pinpointed the problem. Their entire message is about what the Lord and the Church can do for us, not about what we can do for the Lord and the church.

After everything I've been learning in these past couple of months, everything boils down to this concept. Just go freaking do it. It ties in to all of my frustrations with my church in Murrieta, with megachurches in general, with health and wellness ministries. It seems to me to be downright selfish.

This is definitely a vent post. I'll post a more intelligent and thought out post later.
