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’ve been awake for an hour or so Checking for a pulse but I just don’t know Am I a man when I feel like a ghost? The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes No I’m not alright I know that I’m not right A...
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.
Isaiah 26
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...

Halloween. Sinister, austere, morally degrading, and most significantly, for the most part: harmless. I’ll see another fifty odd kids fly by this door before the…

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.

Daniel 3:28-30
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of...
Today I feel like listening to Christmas music.
Family is hard. But it’s always worth it. <3
Hope is real.
There is alot of bad stuff in the world. But it’s confusing. You can be a good person and do bad things. You can also be a bad person and do good things. You can also be bad and do bad, or be good and do good. The confusing part is trying to see and know the difference between the good and the bad because most of the time it doesn’t really show a clear defined line. Even with the...

Sometimes all I want is a “normal life”.
But then when I really think about it, that would make my life much too boring.

– Robert King, A Language (via grammatolatry)
I swear the only reason I ever get through the hard stuff in my life is because of the people in my life that let me vent, make me laugh and tell me the truth. I am thankful for all the people who choose to love me. And for a God that chooses to love me even when I can’t seem to get things right.
