CROWNED: December 2006
http://erickabennett.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 12, 2006. Tonight I found out an old family friend committed suicide. Three self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the chest. I can't imagine. to be honest I'm still in shock. She was a dear Christian woman and a member of my church- there every Sunday. None of us ever suspected anything was wrong, but we’ve now found out she'd been battling depression. I just can't imagine any other way you could get that desperate and hopeless, unless you were believing lies from the enemy. Just end it all".

Tuesday, May 16, 2006. Wow, it's been a while. Going on over a month since the last post! I guess it was just hard to follow that with anything, especially since there hasn't been much happening other than "busyness"- school ending, finals, etc. Thank God it's officially summer! Oh how God knows the desires of our hearts! You look so frail lying there. Helpless to speak or move. A single tear rolls down your face. Your rosebud lips are so confused. And I can't help but hear over and over in my head.

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. I want to be His hands. That weekend was a great time of rest for me- obviously God knew I needed it before chaos hit. 2 AWFUL tests, my computer crashing (which explains why I haven't posted much lately) and then my little brother having to have surgery suddenly (check out the link to "my baby bro" for more info)- life has been crazy the last week. That night I ventured out of Jaron's room to visit my friend Melanie's little sister Savannah (. Where would I be the most effective?

Tuesday, February 21, 2006. It's okay to be funky. So many thoughts I feel compelled to share this week- but 4 papers, 2 midterms, and 1 audition mean I have very little time. so I'll try to blog a little here and there to get it all out there. The topic at hand right now-. Becomes truth in these thoughts:. Having all that in my life puts me in my most uncomfortable place: having to be taken care of. Since encouragement is my spiritual gift- I. Having to be taken care of! Tangible expressions of God's lo...

Sunday, January 07, 2007. Meet my little ones! I recently had the wonderful opportunity to "adopt" two children through Compassion International. Meet my little ones!

Sunday, February 11, 2007. BIG plans for small people. For my 23rd birthday, I decided I wanted to have my first gig in the coffee shop scene. A random way to celebrate, maybe, but it's what I wanted. Thankfully, we were able to pull it off (with my friends Zach Benson and Josh Adams playing with me, and Sandy and Trish Toomer letting us perform at Toomer's Coffee). It went GREAT! It was packed, and people had a blast! Of course we didn't make any money really ($5 each in tips), but who cares? We all had...

Friday, July 07, 2006. Just got an email from Matt in Zambia (read the blog below) and wanted to pass on a few more specific ways you can pray! 1- for healing (he has the flu, as do several others in his group- can you imagine having the flu while sleeping in a tent in Africa? 2- for God to break the communication barriers they are facing (with other volunteers and with the children they are teaching). 3- for God to refresh their hearts and sustain their souls! Thank you for being prayer warriors! Matt i...

Monday, January 30, 2006. At least that's what I thought. but then I started thinking about the posts on some of my friends' blogs that have blessed me SO much! Who am I to say He couldn't use something I've written in the life of another? After all- He is the source of my life, my thoughts. the reason I am able to think and write. Who am I to say this isn't how He wants to use this season of my life? And so. here I am. My prayer is that you'll be blessed in some way by the posts that follow!
