Lent
For lent this year, I have an exciting journey ahead. I chose to give something up that I have no substantial reason to give up, but I felt God leading me to do it…so I am. But the majority of my “lenting” is from my church’s lent calendar! As a congregation, we are taking a small challenge everyday that will lead us further from the world, and closer to God. Our aim is for...

Spiritual warfare is all around us. The more you pursue God, the more of a target you become. Craziness.
Battle of the Heart
You can say what you want
Blame what you want
But at the end of the day
You know we’re meant to be apart.
And I try to forget you
But I don’t really want to.
I’m hangin’ on to what we used to have
But it’s gone.
Can’t stop singing my song. I’m hurting in a way that I never have before. I hate the dwelling, missing, and bumming that comes with...

…This is what I want in every aspect of my life
God Wins.
Life can be quite confusing sometimes. I mean, it’s much easier with the light and guidance of God in my life, but it is still quite confusing. Something I am aware of is the guard rails that God lays out for us in the Bible, but what about all the little details in life that the Bible doesn’t directly cover? Well I guess that’s where the Holy Spirit comes into play; that gut...

Well . . .
I didn’t see that one coming …
I’ve got to be prayerful in these next few days and distinguish what is just my crazy mind and what is God’s will. I’m feeling a bit uneasy here - God, please just take control.
Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and...
Psalm 26:2-3
My Top Ten of 2010
10. The little things: Lauren Conrad book, waking up to you in my bed, being in a coffee shops all day, emergency heart-to-hearts, laughing about nothing, gettting cute together, sharing clothes, skype times, running around in hail storms, driving, having a shoulder to cry on, and just living life together.
9. Growing even closer with my family: staying good with my Dad, becoming my Mom’s...

Psalm 17
Story of my life.
“You cannot change someone who does not want to be changed.”
– There is only so much we can do. God is the one in complete control. All we can do is pray and obey the Lord.

Luke 6:37
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Oftentimes, it’s easy to lose sight of what is under our control and what is not. As mere humans, there is only so much we can do. But God can do the unthinkable. He can judge, condemn, forgive, and love unlike any other being. He has control that I will...

New Beginnings
God is the center of my life. He directs my every step in the crazy life. He has lead me to a place I never could’ve predicted or planned, but I have never been happier. Everyday I feel and chase His unconditional love; love that engulfs me, surrounds me, and changes me. A symphony of love.
