Dear God,

I suddenly felt convicted to write you a letter here. I just feel very overwhelmed in my heart right now. I don’t know why, maybe as I write here, you will show me. I love you more than anything. I love you with all the strength I can muster in my heart. It’s such a [...]

No Turning Back

Oh how I wish that life was easier. How I wish I could have more than one week of joyful bliss, of having carefree days of productive schoolwork and life-giving relationships and restful sleeps that are all an outflow of blessings from an intimate relationship with God. It’s possible! but oh it’s not easy. Enter [...]

Desperate

It is 2:25 am. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but I had a surge of inspiration to finally write to ya’ll since I’ve been in a weird funk with the blog posting, so here I am taking advantage of the moment. Maybe it’s because I have an odd assortment of thoughts after watching Saving [...]

Word

I attended Passion Conference in Atlanta kinda last minute from January 2-5, and I’m glad my mom encouraged me to go/that it worked out. Post #1 from it as I begin to process what happened. Sorry it’s late…this post took longer than usual to write. Click on/hover over the links found in the last word [...]

Why?

So I tend to hold off on telling people what God has been teaching me until I get the pretty, nicely wrapped up testimony that warms, encourages, and/or challenges people’s hearts. I think with my closest friends I tend to do this less. With my Best Friend I actively try NOT to do this…I ask [...]

This Moment

The lessons I’ve been learning since my birthday seem to have been preparing me for this moment. 1) Another day: For the first time I think, I didn’t really feel like I needed all the attention on my birthday. Usually I have to fight the urge to tell everyone that it’s my birthday, but this [...]

No More Hiding

Everything I’ve been hiding about me is about to be written here for everyone I love, haven’t met, will meet, etc to read on this public blog right now. So two major things I’ve struggled with that I don’t tell anyone but have had a major heart change to tell everyone: I am a junior [...]

[Part 4] Freedom

Summary of Parts 1-3: Even though I was peaceful about the chem exam, I had to drop it and despite the question of pre-med, all I wanted was Him. I was confused and hurting, but not to the same extent as I had reacted in similar circumstances. So that Saturday I didn’t feel like praying [...]

A Miraculous Change

Today I finished reading this powerful testimony called The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson. At some point, I just couldn’t put it down because I just had to know what miracle was going to happen next. This book told the story of a country preacher following what seemed to be God’s calling for [...]

(Im)possible

“Maybe I’m afraid, hopeless, uncertain, weak, and frustrated” -Me (from this post: click) So yesterday my mom and I drove to Atlanta. On the way there, I was driving and listening to more of the Kristian Stanfill album, Mountains Move. The song I linked in that same post, You Will Reign, started playing. The song [...]
