Insatiable longing?
I just finished the book Shattered Dreams by Larry Crabb and it was the first book that I have finished and immediately wanted to read all over again. Its just where my heart has been the last year..figuring out the root of the aches and longings of my heart.
One of my favorite chapters compared the heart’s journey through life from a secular view and spiritual view and how Satan can use...

blessed.
If someone saw my day today they probably wouldn’t say it was anything super adventurous or exciting. But there was something about today that from the depths of my spirit and soul was so satisfying. Its mothers day and it started out teaching my middle schoolers (which in itself is a neat thing because i’m not good at it! yet the Lord always seems to work even in my insufficiency) and...

"You are changing me from the inside out,...
How in the world is it already 2010? 2009, where did you go?! I’ve been thinking in these last few days of 2009 how grateful I am for this year. So much has happened, but I feel like it just went by so fast! The year 2009 will definitely go down in my “soul record book.” The Lord has done more work in my heart in the last year than in a whole lot of years put together. And...

So I was listening to pandora today and watermark’s “Still” has played on my station quite a few times, but today was the first time that I stopped and actually listened to the words…wow…the depths of my heart the last 2 days put into words:
The more I get alone
The more I see I need to get alone more, more
Cause just when I think that I’m alone
Your Spirit...
when things get comfortable, i get lazy...
Well, so much for updating this summer. It been about 4 months since that last post. Fort Worth has been great…exciting, scary, fun, hard, draining, fulfilling…sanctifying. At times I’ve wanted to run away, but I know this is exactly. where. I’m. supposed. to. be.
So, the reason for this post…
I don’t think I have every been as busy as I currently am with...

New Chapter
So I live in Fort Worth! It seemed like it all happened so fast, but looking back I can see the Lord’s fingerprints all over it, and this is exactly what my prayer has been for the last 4 months. The Lord is faithful…here we go!
At the moment, I’m sitting on the floor of my living room in my new apartment that is completely empty. I have with me a suitcase full of clothes,...

“He made Him who knew no sin to became sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Cor 5:21
“But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our inequities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.”

'be careful that you don't forget'
“ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands...

thirsty for truth
So, I think that I mentioned this a little while ago, but lately as I listen to sermons my stomach is literally doing flips…it’s weird…I guess it is from excitement to hear affirmation of what the Lord is teaching me? Regardless, it has been happening a lot lately. I feel like a sponge - I just can’t get enough. My spirit is thirsty for truth.
I’ve been listening to...
a little late
Well, now that I’ve been home for over a month now, I finally have some pictures of Honduras. This was actually the real reason I even started a blog…to put my Honduras pictures up since I don’t have facebook anymore. I’m a little impatient, so I only put a few.
But the one thing I love about looking back at all my pictures is looking at the kids’ smiles. Some of...

This was yesterday’s post…the internet was down last night so I couldn’t post it:
Well I heard I was accepted to TCU today! It feels good to get a yes letter for a change.. :) Still waiting to hear about scholarships though. I don’t think that I can go if I don’t have a scholarship, its way expensive.
In other news, I had a very contemplative afternoon. I was posed...
not such a bad day after all
Don’t have much to write about today. It wasn’t a great day…all day I was battling and trying to fight for truth.
There was a verse that I was looking for that talks about the Spirit groaning on our behalf because words aren’t even sufficient to express our emotions to the Lord, but I didn’t find it. I did find a verse however that encouraged me so much:
…ok...
"Open Our Eyes"
Well the Lord is so gracious. I had two amazing days after my rough one - full of joy and contentment. And I re-ignited my slight obsession with Dave Barnes. I spent a good hour watching videos that he made on YouTube…so funny! I had forgotten how much I loved him.
However, last night I think I made a mistake. I am just so excited about all that the Lord is teaching me and Chris is the...
Keep on Keepin' on
Well today was a little hard. I didn’t sleep very well so I felt gross when I woke up. And lack of sleep is never a good thing…always causes my guards to come down and I’m tempted to question truth.
I’ve been reading Acts the last few weeks but nothing really stood out enough for me to journal about this morning so I went to Proverbs and just read chapter 19 (I do that...
My Soul Sings
All day I have just wanted to blog! This is so not like me, but I have discovered that it is a lot easier to type than write in my journal…and no one knows about this site (except catherine and lauren..and I’m kind of hoping they forget about it) so its almost like I’m just typing in my journal!
I have wanted to blog all day because I am just at a place in my life that I...
Amazed by Grace
So, my first entry…I had inspiration to write while at Breakaway tonight. I have always loved the worship song, “From the Inside Out” and it would bring me to tears sometimes in the past months as I sang to the Lord how thankful I was for His grace, even though I continued to fall on my face. I hadn’t sang it in a while so when the band started to play it tonight I was...
