Becoming the Branch of the Vine.

"Already you are clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine and you are the branches, Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." -John 15:1-5

This verse has been shown to me 3 different times this week. I truly feel God speaking it to me and I am so excited to work towards becoming it.

Tuesday night at worship for training, Miles read it out and talked about it in a way of leadership. He was referring to us welcome week staffers being leaders for the freshmen and becoming the branches of the vine to reach out and create more branches.
Then yesterday, I was reading my new book, "When God Writes your Love Story" (it's excellent!) and the verse was shown again. Revealing to me that unless I give that aspect of my life completely up to God, I cannot do anything with it. My plan will never work, only His will.
and finally, today, our speaker brought it up again. He talked about it in a way I had never heard before. He related it to being a Christian in college. He gave ways to do this and I was so encouraged. I am really understanding God lately, and I'm loving every minute of it! I am so ready to become the branch that bears so much fruit! :)

on another note.... WELCOME WEEK!!!!!! AH! i just can't get enough of it! :) I am having SOOOO much fun, it's crazy! I love our family! I love Michael and Brittney, and I love our freshies! :) We are such an awesome family! and I am loving being a guide for these freshmen as they join us at school! :) I just can't wait to see what God does with the rest of this week! :) It's been so incredible so far! :) I can't even describe it to you in words! :)
