You deserve to be pursued. You deserve all of those “good morning beautiful” texts. You deserve to be dreamed about. You deserve a man that will be awestruck by you. WHY? Because God made you something special. And whether you like it or not, SOMEONE WILL LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE. All of the faults. All the dirt under your skin. The baggage and the scars. The fears and the failures. They say there’s someone for everyone, and I believe that’s perfectly true. God made you for someone. Sure they’re taking their sweet time (and YES it does get aggravating waiting for them to find you), but they ARE coming and they DO exist. You gotta believe that. You gotta believe someone is gonna love you. Someone is going to find you to be beautiful and see you as God does. On the days when there seems to be nothing left, you’ve got to hold onto this because THIS is TRUTH. There IS someone out there going through the same shit that you are. They are wondering when they’re gonna find you. And they WANT you. They want to be with you and share all those funny moments, all those kisses and hugs. Someone out there DOES want to love you.

Christianity

That in a culture where it’s the tendency to bend, you’ll stand. That in situations where there’s tendency to look the other way, you’ll look for help. That, at times in the church when there’s a tendency to be divisive on the secondary and a unified front of silence on the painful, you’ll seek to rightly divide the truth and unify the brokenhearted.

Because if Christ is The Truth — then where there isn’t Truth, there isn’t Christ. Why ever be afraid of the Truth?

“God designed women, in both form & function, to be desired, pursued, and embraced. He designed us to attract, to fascinate, to elicit the same gasp of astonished wonder that Eve elicited from Adam in the Garden. And He didn’t make us that way simply to ensure that humans would remain fruitful & multiply. He made us that way so that in our beauty, in men’s desire for us, we would reveal how compelling the human soul is to God.”

“I Came to You Late”


I came to You late, O Beauty so ancient and new. I came to love You late. You were within me and I was outside where I rushed about wildly searching for You like some monster loose in Your beautiful world. You were with me but I was not with You. You called me, You shouted to me, You wrapped me in Your Splendour, You broke past my deafness, You bathed me in Your Light, You sent my blindness reeling. You gave out such a delightful fragrance and I drew it in and came breathing hard after You. I tasted, and it made me hunger and thirst; You touched me, and I burned to know Your Peace.
AMEN. 

- St. Augustine of Hippo

Song of the Day:
I Can Trust You - Rebecca St. James 

lyrics:
Yes, I know that You have paved a path for me

Yes, I know that You see what I do and don’t need
But when it comes to the deepest things
I have a hard time relinquishing control
Letting go

God, it hurts to give You what I must lay down
But when I let go, freedom’s found
God, it hurts to give You what I’ve held so dear
Because of Your love it’s clear
I can trust You with this
I can trust You with me
I can trust You

Lord, I know that You are worthy of my trust
For You have shown me time and time again
You’re faithful and yet
I’m so scared of letting go of this
Afraid of what You might do with it
How could I forget who You are like this

Me forsaking
Heart is breaking
I let go of what I’ve held so tight
Freedom’s mine now
For the taking
I move in faith, not by sight
Let Your will be done.

—————————————————-

^^^^^^This pretty much sums up my mood today. Being faithful that His will…will be done in my life and through my life & that it will be the best thing. “Speak Lord, for Your servant is listening”! :)

The National March For Life here in Washington D.C. starts in a few hours!!! If you can’t be here with us today, please join us in spirit! If you could send your prayers and offerings our way today that would be awesome! A lot of people are trying to take a stand and finally ensure justice in our country. :) There’s a 90% chance of rain, and it’s SUPER cold but we’ll still be out there in the streets because we believe that LIFE is worth fighting for at any cost.

Standing up for LIFE

This weekend was our state’s March For Life and Stand Up For Life Youth Rally! :)

Friday night I served at a Pro-Life banquet, where I met Michelle Dugger from TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting”! She is such a great lady, so sweet and beautiful! :)

At the march I bumped into a lot of my friends I’ve been dying to see. ^^^This is my dear friend Matt (isn’t he such a cutie???). Matt has gotten me through so much and I couldn’t ask for a better friend. :)

This year I was asked to speak at the Stand Up For Life youth rally! It was such an honor!

I was terrified, humbled and excited all at the same time. :) I got to stand up on stage at a big auditorium to the largest crowd I’ve ever spoken for!! About 1000 people :D

next week I’ll be the National March for Life in Washington D.C.!!!
