Mindless chatter
I have become incredibly aware this week of how much I think about throughout the day that is just so, well silly. It’s just kind of crazy to me how much room in my brain is taken up by chatter, sweeping thoughts that steal my attention. I think it takes a lot of this to make me realize that I’m not actually thinking about things that are important. I have to spend a good few...

Proverbs 1
So I am not going to say too much, just about the couple things that really stuck out in this beginning chapter.
Something I have really thought about a lot this past year, is knowledge and humility. As a Christian, and in Christian community we somehow gain this stature or arrogance over other people. As if we are all knowing, and have all the answers, and everyone else is going to live and die...
re-adjusting
Here is my attempt. In the past few weeks, and especially the past few days, I have become incredibly convicted and just more aware of what my life looks like, and where I place my value. I am careless with money. I have tried to put my identity in places other than Christ. I have become obsessive over things and acts. I have tried to please so many other things other than the Lord. And I have...
proud
I have felt proud before. Proud of a paper, a performance, a thought. But today, I think I got a taste of what truly being proud of someone feels like. I think this is somewhat rare considering I am only 23 years old, and don’t have any kids or something like that to be proud of. But today, I did.
I am so blessed to be a part of the fellowship of friends I am a part of. I am so loved, and...

I think the expression of “missing” someone is highly overused. We are constantly saying “i miss you” or “i miss this” or something. But, do you really? I feel like there have only been certain times when I feel a specific ache, a true longing for someone or something that isn’t near by anymore. It actually takes me time to realize what it is I’m...

if you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward Him. if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents. surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear. you will forget your misery; you will…

Hymn
If to distant lands I scatter If I sail to farthest seas Would you find and firm and gather ‘til I only dwell in Thee? If I flee from greenest pastures Would you leave to look for me? Forfeit glory to come after ‘Til I only dwell in Thee If my heart has one ambition If my soul one goal to seek This my solitary vision ‘til I only dwell in Thee That I only dwell in Thee...

This is mind blowing to me.... →
it is rare that I reeeeeally think about the vast world of space….but when I do reeeeally think about it…it blows. my. mind.
I'll admit it...
So pretty much my entire life I have been a worrier. anxious. and over-analyzer. hypochondriac. Always. I can remember it as far back as elementary school. I could tell you countless stories of kids puking in class and me having a panic attack. (not kidding). I won’t go into detail, but there was actually a time where a kid projectile vomited all over the auditorium and I went home early...

“Soon it will be hammered into what she calls her silly head That she really isn’t silly but she’s beautiful instead But every time she gets a hold of something pretty, it slips away So she keeps hoping that someday soon He will come. He will come He will comfort all that’s hardened change the deserts into gardens and we all will see His face. He will come. He will come. He...
It’s been so long, said it’s been too long Can’t remember when I’ve felt so known You’re so warm; shelter me from the storm And the fears that are just so cold They’re telling me things get messy when you care Things are messy everywhere And don’t I know it, don’t I show it Every time I look away ‘cause what can I do what can I say To help...

Today I napped and had a dream that I dated and married Jim Cary…and he used Herbal Essences shampoo.
beautiful ache
I can’t fully explain what it is that is on my heart tonight, but I will try.
There is a rope tied around my chest. An uncontrollable pull. A fire unable to be cooled. An ache unable to be eased. It is as if my entire self yearns for something that my human eyes are completely incapable of seeing or understanding. At times it is euphoric, but others, the lack of control I have over it...

It’s not now or never. It’s not black, and it’s not white. Anything worth anything takes more than a few days and a long, long night. Don’t push so hard against the world, no, no. You can’t do it all alone, and if you could would you really want to? Even though you’re a big strong girl come on, come on, lay it down. The best made plans are your open hands. Rest...
