The Broseff

What do you say to someone who isn’t listening and doesn’t want to listen? Or is it rather what you do? I have been so eager to know what exactly to do for years now. I have finally come to the understanding that it’s simply a choice and a commitment to do whatever it takes everyday to reach those who do not want to be reached. Abandonment of self, trust in God, accountability, acts of service, steadfast prayer, continuous encouragement, and the Father’s love.

I strive to live out this commitment for my brother. I have the opportunity to show the love that my Savior has for me. I don’t deserve it but He passionately loves me anyways.
He needs people who whole-heartedly love the Lord to love on him.

Though he may not be listening I know he does hear. I know God has an incredible calling on his life. I can’t wait to watch God transform his life! Wooo!

Where has your passion gone!?

I cannot help but feel that people have lost their passion, excitement and eagerness to KNOW Christ and make him KNOWN.

There are so many Christians shlopin around livin up the routine.

OH MAN they missing out on so much!..

They must not know Him?...

The Guat!

As of yesterday, I am officially going to Guatemala January 2nd-10th with the college group for a missions trip! We will be building a house there for a family who lost their home...

AHHHH! This is going to be an incredible trip!

I need ideas for raising the money to go!

The Lord is always faithful! I am excited to see how He will provide!

I will mow your lawn, clean your house, do you grocery shopping,

wash your car, babysit your kids....

pretty much ANYTHING! So let me know the date and time and I'll be there!!!

Vegas!

I finally was able to book my ticket to Vegas for Sarah and Mani's wedding!

And incase you are wondering, it's a classy wedding in the Paris Hotel. Elvis will not be performing the ceremony!

I am so excited! Sarah, liv, whit, ash and I haven't all been together in so long. It's going to be so much fun!

I also get to spend a couple of days after the wedding with my friend Lindsey who is doing missions work up there!

I can't wait! November 20th better get here fast!

Small group

Last night was the first night of our girls small group that we started at my house!

We have been wanting to do this for soo long, but it never worked out.

There are 4 of us and we meet on Sunday nights! We are going through the book

Lies Woman Believe and the Truth That Sets them Free!

I am so thankful to have an accountability group like this!

I'm so excited!

life.

I got to talk to one of my really close friends Kelli today. It was so exciting to hear all the awesome things God is doing in her life. For so long she has been trying to figure out what she wants to do for the rest of her life. She has figured it out and is going for it! So awesome!

This is something I myself am still trying to figure out. The desire of my heart is to be where the Lord wants me, but where is that?! Right now I have the most fulfilling and exciting job I have ever had. I without a shadow of a doubt know that this IS where God has placed me right now, but what about 2, 3 or 4 years down the road?!

I KNOW that God has given me a passion and calling for full time missions. Right now I have been doing everything I can to pay off my school loans so when the door opens to go I can walk through it with no debt and nothing holding me back. But I'm not sure about when that time will come! I am so excited for when it does tho!

In the mean time what should I do?! I have thought about taking some more college classes, but I can't really afford to. For so long I have really wanted to do some sort of TV broadcasting or something along those lines, as well as maybe doing wedding planning. I AM A MESS!! Haha there are so many things i love to do!

My relationship with the Lord has been such an incredible journey. I can only imagine how exciting the rest of it will be! Until I figure it out a little bit better, I'm gonna turn all my worrying into trusting HIM! I don't care where I am or what I'm doing! As long as I'm a part of something bigger than myslef...I will be soo happy!
