Fun

.. is fun!!!!! haha.

I love these girls. They are so silly and have such sweet loving hearts.

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is absolutely blowing my mind. I am a huge dreamer, and I dream so large scale... but I am starting to see that my plans are sooooooo small and narrow compared to His. I cannot wait for this next year. God is working so intricately, and bringing together so many hearts. I know without a doubt that God is going to use these humble beginnings of next year for something SO much bigger than we could have dreamed up. My God is so powerful and so good.

Just wait and see. God is at work.

Encouragement

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

1 John 3:18

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

Camille you are a wonderful sister.

Withdrawls

I feel like I love the piano more every year. This is definitely what I did most over spring break. Now I'm craving it.

Thank you God for beautiful things like music.

The Best...

... birthday gift I ever received.

This is what stephy gave me for my birthday last year. It meant so much to me, and it is still so special. I have had it hanging on a wall everywhere I have lived since then. It makes me just as happy every time. It is so sweet and personal.

"A cute quote from dear Alice in Wonderland.

'Do you hear the snow against the windowpanes kitty? How nice and soft it sounds! Just as if someone was kissing the window all over outside. I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? Then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.' and when they wake up in the summer, kitty, they dress themselves all in green , and dance about -- whenever the wind blows -- oh, that's very pretty!'

isn't that cute?

love Steph"

I don't know why, but this little note means so much to me.

Thanks negev, your the best.

I Think This Is It

...... the time in your life you never see coming.... but pretty much does for most people.

All thats left now is faith and obedience.

"But he said to me, " My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

What a beautiful promise.

Huge

change is coming... and I am not afraid.

Light

"Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." 1 John 2:6

Man. There is nothing to add to that.

.........This has been one of the hardest days/2 weeks of my life. I have been entangled in anger, sin, selfishness, pride, sorrow, guilt, lies.... etc.

But I can truly say tonight... being 100% real right now... that I consider it all a sweet, rich gift because its all driven me to the Word of God... and that is the ONLY source of TRUE REAL life. Its only in the Words of God that I feel tremendous weight lifted off my shoulders. Its only in the Words of God that I find comfort, and my confusion is slowly turned to clarity. My hatred is gently wiped away and replaced with humility and love from Jesus. My pain is turned into joy. It is only here in the Words of God that I am free.

"I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one." 1 John 2:14b

Heart

This worlds only hope lies in selflessness.

Jesus please make me like you.

Wilt

Apperantly

I have lots all drawing skills in a matter of two days.

yayaya

I think I'm becoming obsessed with feathers.

... they make me feel like pocahontas.... I don't even think she wears feathers though.

P.s. I MISS ISRAEL!!!!!!! like every other day of my life. I want to live there soooo badddd. It is so peaceful and beautiful there. I want a quite-slow-pick-wildflowers life... is that too much to ask? haha.

For a Seed to Give Birth to Life, First it Must Die.

"Reaching, always reaching
Never reaching solid ground

Seeking always seeking
Never seeking what I've found

Baptize my mind
Baptize my eyes
Baptize my mind
For a seed to give birth to life
First it must die

Both my hands are filled
With guilt
(Give me absolution)
Both my eyes are blind
With filth
(Give me absolution)"

-Jon Foreman

crap

crap.

I Just Made..

...terrrribly delicious, terribly hot habenero salsa.

its love.

If One Thing I Know....

...its that Jesus is the end all. all. everything. the only thing. the beginning..the end.

everything else is fleeting.

family, romance, food, fun, sleep, work, nature, everything.

Jesus is all that lasts.

That being true... I pray that each day my life reflects that more. I want to invest ALL my effort and time into eternity. Yes there will be many earthy pleasures along the way (like the afore mentioned)... but I want to save my heart for the real deal. I want my heart to beat for one thing only.

Jesus.

ANOTHER PAPER

I feel like this. School is the hardest thing I've ever done.

sdkjh im such a whiner.

again.....

...... i just need to quite school while im ahead.

not really. i am very thankful for the training I GET to receive. It is just so exhausting at times.

Pure

I am so inspired by the beauty of creation, and by the complete freedom that I have in a life spent with Jesus... to just be myself. All of me. Because of the love of Jesus, I am so free.

Live It

"If you put your happiness in temporary things, your happiness will be temporary. If you put it in eternal things, your happiness will be eternal."

May We Move

"The future belongs to those who believe in the BEAUTY of their dreams."

Heaven

tonight i went to my secret happy place up in the hills and had the best time. the sun was out, the clouds were huge, the hills were electric green, and there was a gorgeous double rainbow. im obsessed with that spot. It has wildflowers everywhere. gahhhhhhh. i could live there. it was fun, i sang realllly loud... and i joined the coyotes and howled at the moon.... its good to be free.

I could spend all day there just relaxing with God.
