no place I would rather be.

i am a broken christian.
we all are.
i dwell on things that i shouldn't
i over think things. I make mistakes.
my heart gets heavy, but then it's a night like tonight that i fall to my knees raise my arms in the air and put my trust in our amazing father. "Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust." Psalm 16:1 There is no place I rather be!! He knows me, he loves and he has a plan for me. He knows YOU, HE LOVES YOU and HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOU!!
Work/Occupation: I place in God’s hands.

My writing: I place in God’s hands.

Health: I place in God’s hands.

Friendships: I place in God’s hands.

Love: I place in God’s hands.

Travel: I place in God’s hands.

Everything else I can’t think of right now: I place in You-Know-Who’s hands.

reminder.


“In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” Ephesians 1:7

“receive My peace abundantly and thankfully” - Jesus


today and every day this should be our prayer!!

Lord I surrender to you

Lord I ask that you give the wisdom that i need to get through this day

allow my heart to open up to what you want me to do not what I want to do, even though that is hard, I ask for strength.

Abba: I belong to you and only you.

adele.

Her lyrics blow me away along with her voice.

coffee.



rochester = a book & coffee plus time to think and write.

one head.
two could be.
one will on a paper.
two can seek.
coffee and cotton.
wool and cream.
one will fall to the bottom.
the others hand to soften.
this everlasting descent.

committed to freedom.

every once in a while i get these reminder emails from a program i attended a few years back. it's funny b/c every time i get the reminders it's a day I need to hear them, it's definitely God speaking directly to me. these were the last two i received, both spoke truth to me as I struggle with the topic that they float around. funny how when you try to run. God finds you.

A Reminder for Your Spirit:
We can safely say that God can bring good out of evil; we cannot say that God brings about the evil in hopes of producing good.

Brooke,
A Reminder for Your Spirit:
There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it, don't miss it.

empty.

last night my roommate's dad paul died. there are no words for the heart ache that is present right now on this earth, but the beauty that is going on in heaven. paul loved jesus so much and we know he is dancing in heaven and sitting with our amazing father. The loss here on earth is so hard, there is this emptiness.....I can only think of Kristin, Nicky and Kathy + family. Lord I ask you to carry them hold them in your arms and guide them. Loss of words right now.


LORD CARRY US. WE NEED YOU TO CARRY US.
