mountains and midterms.

This past weekend I headed up to the High Sierra Campus… which I swear I will post ALL about with video and pictures after this week.

This week is midterms. I’ve got two huge exams, and two huge papers due one after another. It’s weeks like this that really make me thankful for a God who meets us right where we are, even in the middle of extreme stress. Today at chapel, God worked on my heart and anxiety about this week and my attitude towards school through the worship and message. He reminded me that I’m here at APU in the classes I have for a reason and that I do really love school… even though it gets overwhelming sometimes.

I will post soon with fun pictures, but here is a sneak preview:

I may or may not be dressed up as an angry deadliest catch captain creeping a clown. May or may not.

About the Author

Ellie Kipps

We venture forward, some of us limp timidly and some of us brandish our swords and some of us starve to make a point. Some of us have a way with words, some with numbers, some with music notes. This world isn’t all about me, it is about us as the extension of His creation. St. Irenaeus said that, “Man fully alive is the Glory of God”. My hope would be that I would encounter each kind of kindness and that my life may be fully lived in order to glorify the God of the universe. My hope would be that each breath, each choice, each change, each transition, each decision, each word I part take with would be engaging in the promise of a life more alive in Christ, would be in a way part-taking in the embodiment of Christ’s compassion, sacrifice, and most of all His love for me engrafted into my life, or rather, I should say, I become a branch engrafted into Him, bearing much fruit and living fully for His fully deserving glorification. When I refuse the lies, and embrace the Truth, and dare to believe in myself, I am living a eucharistic life.
