A day of overload.
Missions.
Praying Circles.
Grace.
My eyes have been opened to so much in the past 24 hours.
Wow.

Made
It’s so refreshing when God reminds me of my purpose.
Got to strap on the right mindset. Kick Satan in the face. And seek God with everything within me.

Sometimes, I think I think too much.
It's time.
Lately I’ve been noticing a trend of life changes. It seems that so many people from my high school are getting pregnant. I know, this is kind of stereo-typical, American, teenage cultural norm. My head is spinning. I’ve been watching as one girl after another posts pictures or statuses about their precious child or growing tummy. It’s exciting, yes, but I begin to think about...

I have a passion and I don’t know why. Okay, I kinda know why.. but really, I don’t. Haha. It’s interesting, the older I get, the less I seem to understand about myself. It’s crazy how God has placed new passions in my life over the past few years. I don’t know what to think about them. I don’t know how to go about them. They don’t feel like me. They feel...
Girl Talk. Real Talk.
Well, I just had a great experience at a church youth camp. I went into it blindly; I didn’t know a soul. And I met some of the most wonderful teenagers! I most definitely had a blast with my girls! I roomed with about 40 8th graders! They were silly, talkative, and so much fun! It brought back fresh memories of when I was in 8th grade! I also led a small group of about 14 of these 8th...

Waiting.
questions reverberating mid-air
only my ears can hear
the echoing effects they present
patience must now ensue
maybe that’s the hardest part…
waiting.
Since Feeling is First
since feeling is first who pays any attention to the syntax of things will never wholly kiss you; wholly to be a fool while Spring is in the world my blood approves, and kisses are better fate than wisdom lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry —the best gesture of my brain is less than your eyelids’ flutter which says we are for each other: then laugh, leaning...

Confession
I can’t believe it’s finally come to be.
This dream I’ve always wished for
is now reality.
But I’m scared.
Scared to
give in
and release
this piece of me;
it’s threatening
every corner of my soul.
Yet, somehow I like it,
the challenge,
the thrill,
the beauty of the quest.
But I must confess;
I won’t suppress.
“The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The...”

Month in Review
I had the honor to travel to the Philippines for a month-long mission trip to serve and to love on the Filipinos! It was an absolutely wonderful experience! First and foremost, I love traveling and learning about and experiencing a new culture. I got to experience so much on the trip!
Here’s a little of what my team and I did:
Held 4 worship conferences
Created and conducted a 3-day...

Dance With Me
Sometimes, I just long for the intimacy that I will one day share with my husband, my best friend. My heart yearns for it. Aches even. But I know in the mean-time, the Lord is the one my heart is captured by.
This beautiful song always resonates with one of my heart’s desires:
“For My Love” Walk towards me I want to hear The heavens singing over you When you...

Growth.
I cannot stop it from happening. I don’t want it to stop. I love it.
In fact, throughout this past school year I have grown incredibly. It wasn’t necessarily sought after, but change sought after me. There were many areas in my life that were broken, shaken, and closed-off. I placed all my emotions into the depths of my heart and locked them there. I thought that the deeper...
