me.
Who I truly am are not my mistakes or my successes, but the heart behind them.
Not always good and not always bad, not always right or wrong, but thankfully I am not the judge in the end.
Who I truly am is not my height, or dimples or athletic or artistic abilities. I could talk up or talk down the truth of who I am, and still not truly see that which is all of me. Facing my reality is that I am...

“The greatest thing you will ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return”
Pretty sure this is the hardest thing to learn…but the moments I have found myself lined up with this truth have been the most peaceful.
I’m just a little out of line these days. Need to figure out how to get back there.
In His Wings
Matthew 23:27-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
Even after...
Hosanna to the Son of David
Matthew 21:14-17
The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus,...

Somewhere along the way I became much too afraid of failure. Fearing failure makes us success driven. And when all we want is success we miss the point of why we are even living.
I don’t want to focus on success. I don’t even understand what that really means because in North America success is wealth and status. I already don’t have those two things, so I’m already sort...
“Set your heart to honor me.” - Malachi 2:2
I need to figure this out.
The further along my journey with God I get the more complicated and hard it seems to be. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m being stupid or because God is trying to refine me more. I can say that lately I feel kind of lost with the whole thing. Like I am supposed to be doing more than what I...

Zephaniah 3:9-20
God Is in Charge at the Center
9-13“In the end I will turn things around for the people. I’ll give them a language undistorted, unpolluted, Words to address God in worship and, united, to serve me with their shoulders to the wheel. They’ll come from beyond the Ethiopian rivers, they’ll come praying— All my scattered, exiled people will come home with...

Lately I feel like Jonah.
Sitting in the whale.
My stubborn heart needs to change.
Strings
I love the little moments when God opens your eyes and your heart to all the blessings in your life.
To the amazing friends, family and love that surrounds you.
To the beauty of snowfall and peppermint tea with honey.
To the way that we can never be big enough or strong enough or smart enough to understand the beautiful mysteries of God.
All these little blessings are like strings that pull...

I love when the words that someone wrote thousands of years ago, resonates with your soul and changes you. Words are so much more powerful than we really know. Especially when the Spirit of God is in them.

16 LORD, they came to you in their distress; when you disciplined them, they could barely whisper a prayer.[b] 17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and...
This is my “repeat song” lately… I just can’t stop singing it and thinking about the words. It’s a pretty typical Christian worship song, but it just hits home for me. I know I can’t figure out who God is but I need to trust Him with everything and every part of me, and it is so hard! The truth is no matter where I’m at God is still worthy to be praised...

Being surrounded by people who want you to be your best, and love you at your worst, is one of the biggest blessings there is in this life.
I am so thankful for that.
New goal : less negative thinking/talking and more rejoicing/praising for all the wonderful things I have and people I should be more thankful for.
