I've been learning a whole lot about love lately. So, instead of studying for a moment, even though I have so much to do, I just want to sit at the feet of my Jesus and learn more about love . This is the verse He brought to mind this morning. 1 John 3:1. "See what love the Father has lavished upon us, that we might be called children of God! And that is what we are!" That is SO much better than receiving a dozen roses, eh? Or some candy. Maybe a kiss. Whatever. God has lavished love upon us. While we were still sinners He did this (Romans 5:8). I rest in that truth. That true love is ONLY from God. Whether you are in a relationship or not, that should rock your world. You are loved with an unfailing love . So the question is, What are you doing about it? And the answer may be found in Mark 12:30. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." Tonight at Vision, we went th

So, life has been crazy busy lately. I know everyone says that, but for real life. I'm a bit drained. But better now. I am currently finding peace right here right now. My heart is worshiping (now playing: "Forever Reign" by Hillsong...I'm on a Hillsong kick). My mind is at rest (between two tests already taken this morning, two more in the next 24 hours). His Word is being brought to my mind continually right now. His presence is here beside me, I am resting in His arms. Let me just blurb for awhile, about many different things. Philippians 2:17--"Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering up the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all." This phrase keeps coming to my mind. God is using me. I'm being transformed into His image, day after day. The veil has been removed. And I pray my face shines like Moses' did. But that people won't hide. But that God will draw them closer to Himself. Being p

Now, if you've ever read my blog you know I am not a girl of few words. Not in writing at least. Real-life conversations are a different story. I love to listen. But when I'm writing, I can go on for hours. Anyway, this one is going to be short. Because I have 2 huge tests tomorrow. Freaking out? Yes. But no matter--I must update you on my life, whoever you are! But literally, this will only take one sentence. I'm going to be doing summer missions in Oklahoma this summer! WOOOOO! I know that doesn't sound all that wonderful, but believe me when I say that this has been so incredibly orchestrated by our God that it cannot be denied as one of the best things ever. More to come on that later, because write now, I have to learn about the Patriarchs of the Bible. Exciting? .... no comment. And I need to know how to locate Greek verbs. That one is exciting, as nerdy as that may sound. Ok. So pray that I don't stress out and am able to study and/or that classes get
