Do Something

Today marks National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Did you know 27 MILLION people are enslaved today? At Passion Conference where 45,000 18-25 year olds encountered Jesus, we became more aware of the injustice that is happening all over the world today. Right now, I don’t think this blank space below will suffice to convey the brokenness [...]

Hurting? Confused? This might help…

So it was mighty quick but God told me why He loves me so much. I was struggling with the wrong question. It’s not about me and how I’m so unworthy. It’s about His character. This song told me so and blessed me so. See, I told you not to worry about giving me encouragement [...]

[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 [...]

Can’t Get Enough

I’ve been in this place where I was just going through the motions of praying and reading the Bible. I knew what it felt like to not want to do anything but seek God and know Him better so I was just trying to get that passion stirred up again. It was just hard though [...]

WOW

GOD IS SO REAL AND ALIVE AND ANDDDDDD I am just so blown away right now. I can’t go to sleep. I don’t know how to describe this feeling. I might call it freedom. I might call it joy. I might call it grace. Or power. Or humility. Or sacrifice. Or love. Sacrificial love. No [...]

I’ll Stand in the Aftermath

Friday afternoon: With my noise-cancelling headphones on, I was doing some homework to some music, blah blah. At some point, I realized that I was having an “O Praise Him” moment (watch the video if you don’t know what I’m talking about) with my roommate in the room. I was SOOOO embarrassed. Yeah, I was [...]

JAMZ of 2010

Music is one major way that God speaks to me. It moves me to act, it inspires me, and it just gives me joy. I’m so thankful to have this intricate auditory system that God designed in my body so that I can hear the instruments together, working to make the sounds I hear. Just [...]

Free and Fully ALIVE in Jesus

I don’t even know where to start. I do know that this story never ends. **Just click the links to hear the many songs I reference God is moving in such big ways, not only in my life but all over the world. “He’s living on the inside, roaring like a LION.” From 1/1/11 (a [...]

Forever Praise You

Lately I’ve been feeling like praising Him all the time. I can’t really explain it, but through the hard times (like exams) and the good times, He has been there. What other reason do I need? I praised Him ahead of time for doing well on one exam, and He came through. He took all [...]

Living Water.

Sorry if this post is confusing and/or link-ridden. What do I have EVERY, SINGLE DAY that I always take for granted? Water. “Dirty water and lack of a toilet and proper hygiene kill 3.3 million people around the world annually, most of them children under age five.” -(when you have time, read this article: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2010/04/water-slaves/rosenberg-text/1) There’s [...]
