Not okay

I have a problem admitting that I’m not okay.  I don’t know how deep that problem goes.  Or why I have it.  But it’s there.  And I’m famous for it.  It’s a sure bet that if you ever ask me “Are you okay?” and I say “Yeah, I’m fine”, that I’m lying to your face.  [...]

I miss her.

 
I think about her all the time.  And I miss her constantly.  But some days are harder than others.  Some days, most days, I see God using Ramey’s life and death completely for His glory.  You couldn’t know Ramey, and not know that her love for Jesus outweighed her love for anything else.  It was beyond evident.  [...]

My Jesus

Which Jesus do you follow?
Which Jesus do you serve?
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ
Then why do you look so much like the world?
Cause my Jesus bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and liars
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be?
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Or do [...]

Captivating…

So I’m reading the book Captivating now, because it’s been highly recommended, and I’ve been wanting to read a good book for awhile now.  I read chapter 1 today while I was at Starbucks waiting for Connecting Team to start, and it was SO good.  I’m probably going to post my thoughts on each chapter, [...]

Reality checks @ 2 in the morning are ALWAYS good times to be had…

So it’s 2 in the morning, I can’t sleep, and I’ve been thinking a lot today about Philip, my friend who was killed by a drunk driver about a week ago, and also about John and Judah (Ramey’s husband and son)…  And it’s just been such a reminder to me that bad things happen due [...]

There’s a calling on my days, UNDENIABLE…

This song speaks to my heart.  No joke.
 
“There’s a stirring in my heart
Unexplainable
There’s a calling on my days
Undeniable
There’s a fire in my bones
UNCONTAINABLE
And it’s causing me to burn
It’s causing me to burn
It’s causing me to burn for you
I’ll go anywhere
I’ll do anything
At any cost
For YOU, my King
To the ends of the earth
To the ends of [...]

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me…

So I’m pretty tired of people asking me what I’m going to do with my life.  Because I don’t know how to answer.  Real life terrifies me.  I claim to be so independent, and try to do everything myself so that I don’t have to burden my parents or bother them, but really, I’ll have [...]

Savior I come, quiet my soul, remember…

So, being home these past two weeks has kind of been a slap in the face from reality.  It’s the first time I’ve been home since My mema’s funeral, since Ramey passed away, and I found out last week that Philip, a boy I’ve kind of grown up with since middle school, who was like [...]

Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten…

…but I know the creator of my life, and my story.
And that is an encouraging thought.

Someday Cinderella…

Marriage is beautiful to me.  So beautiful.  I think that the idea of marriage is breathtaking.  That God created something so special for His children, so sacred, to treasure, is wonderful… 
I can’t wait to get married one day.  I can’t wait to have a relationship built on Christ, revolving around Him.  I don’t know when [...]
