Been a crazy past few days.. and yet there is an unexplainable peace in me right now. I don't understand, I cannot comprehend the full plans that God has over me right now. Nichole Nordeman explains it perfectly ( Read more... )

so much in my heart right now, so many decisions. Jesus I just want to do what you want .. not what I want, what you want. guide me. psalms comes to my mind .. you will lead me and guide my steps in the right direction, I know this. my heart is so torn.. but you never said it would be easy, you just said you'd be with us through it all. help me ( Read more... )

I am absolutely bored out of my mind right now. Riley is sleeping, and here I sit, sipping my Barista's coffee on my computer and yet I am bored. I bought a new book today, not sure how I feel about it. "Chasing Daylight," by Erwin Raphael McManus. Sounds really good, but being that I'm only a couple of pages into it, I really don't know yet.

I kind of feel rundown right now .. just plain tired. I don't know what's up with me. Maybe it's just getting back into the swing of things -- all this time off and now I'm back to 50 hours a week -- no, wait -- more than that this week. Heh ( Read more... )

I put them in my room and they make me smile. :) Plus I got a ( Read more... )

This morning I said goodbye to my best friend for the next 5 months. I am so proud of her, but it's been hard to let her go. This day has already been difficult for me. I feel like part of me is being taken away .. I know it's God's will and she's where she needs to be, but right now this hurts. She has been my encouragement, making me laugh in the ( Read more... )

Seeing Jeremiah and Bethany (aka "south dakota" - jolie and I are "louisiana" and "nebraska") was the most fun ever. It was crazy to sit and talk and remember el salvador, to get into their lives again. I love high schoolers. They really can be so much fun. I'm excited for Beth, things are going to be amazing for her this year! We also hung out ( Read more... )

The onething conference was amazing. I keep using that word, but I really don't think that sums it up. Because when you're caught up in worshipping, the only thing you think is, "I want to do this forever." 10,000 people, worshipping with such and abandon, desperation, passion. There's an annointing on a conference that has been so bathed in prayer ( Read more... )
