Hello my name is...

Hey everyone! I'm Erika Krueger and I've been friends with Erin forever pretty much. I am a Senior at Fond du Lac High School. I think that makes me the youngest! ooo, yippee! Maybe all of your knowledge and wisdom will help me through this very tough time in my life, which i'm sure we'll talk about someday. I'm not really sure where i'm going to go to school next year or for what. Something in ministry because, church and activities with the church is the one place i've always felt at home. Yea, I'm not wuite sure what part of ministry. I'm president of conference council on youth ministries, for those of you who know what that is, it takes up alot of my time and keeps me busy. My mom works at church so i'm there alot too. I think i'm a very fun, spontaneous, very passionate person. I know that i'm very motherly and like to take care of and protect all my loved ones. Just ask Erin. Anyhoo, about a year ago my life completely turned upside down, i was diagnosed with anxiety, insomnia, and very very severe depression, since then life has not been the same. For a very long time I couldn't even function. I've been getting better slowly but surely and was doing very well until school started again. I thought I could handle it but I haven't been able to so well. I just wanted you all to know this so you could better understand the things i will post, i don;'t want you to feel sorry for me or anything, or treat me different. I can't wait to "meet" and get to know all of you!!!

Unsure of title

Hey guys-

i'm tim... i'm a 21 year old senior religious studies major at North Central College in Naperville IL. I don't know what else to say...

I feel an intense call to be a full time pastor, as I all ready am a full time minister. Wait ain't those the same? Naw, pastor is the job, minister is a person who ministers to others. You can be a minister but not a pastor, but you can't be a pastor without being a minister.

I love the outdoors, I dunon... peace

God Bless,
Tim

The goal: to become like Christ

9-26
hey there, I'm Kristina, hailing from dartmouth college in NH. I have to admit this cyber devo thing kinda freaks me out, because meeting people in person is really important for me. However, I think Erin's idea is a great way to keep us all grounded and connected with folks outside of our schools, so I'm willing to give it a shot. It may take me awhile to get really active though, since classes for us just started wednesday and i'm stil figuring out my life's schedule.
Other than that, i love the outdoors, i love drumming, i get excited by and about politics, and i have a passion for international development, especially in Africa. My appetite for theology and philosohpy in general is ridiculously gigantic.
Looking forward to "meeting" the rest of you!

Logistics

Hey!
Okay, so this is a site where a daily devotion will show up every day and comments are more than welcome. Anyone can visit and anyone can comment, we are just a group of christian friends. If you want to post a devo let erin know and i'll set you up. It is designed to give accountability to those who want it, help us all grow closer to God and more Christ like and in the process have some fellowship with some awesome people. If you want people to know who you are post a little bio and we'll hopefully be off the first week of October. God Bless you!

guidelines
these are just idea's that can be changed or added to, just thought we should create some!
1: should have a scripture
2: feel free to add other info you know on the subject, links, picture, or WHY you chose that, or sources
3: if something comes up, that's fine, send erin an e-mail, and i'll make sure something shows up!
4: too many things to think about, open form! Have fun, pray about it
i'm excited to learn things from all of you not to mention new insights on the bible.
5: post between noon and noon (ex, if post is for monday post btw noon sunday and noon monday)
Monday~Erika
Tuesday~Erin
Wednesday~Erin
Thursday~Erin
Friday~Erin
Saturday~Erin
Sunday~Erin
okay, until i find more ppl who want to post it'll be a little wierd, some country highlights and stuff. . .
how we all want this to keep us accountable is going to be individule, we can state our goals or whatever we really want, just comment, read, post, whatever every individule wants. We could make a post to introduce everyone, since only I know all of you, and there we could post our goals or whatever. Let me know what you think!
later and God Bless!
