It's business time.

Did some business with Jesus this weekend. It was good. And intense. And... trippy. But I'll get to the point.

If Jesus was coming back tonight, would you be ready? Or would you feel like you were missing out on something?

For example, Jesus showed me that I didn't want to miss out on things like marriage or kids. But if I say, "Jesus, just wait to come back until I get to go to grad school, or get to be a wife, or get to be a mom..." then those are all just desires that I have put before him.

And you know what those are called? Idols.

So he really challenged me-- are you willing to count all of those things as loss for the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ? Will you be like Paul and really think, for me to live is Christ, then to die is gain?

I don't know if that made sense, and I'm using a lot of commas. I apologize. Like I said, trippy weekend.

All of that to say, I feel like God is weeding out my heart, one thing at a time, until all that's left is Him. Every time I think the weeds are gone, we begin all over again.

It's a good season.

Love.

At least I learned something?

Don't do D-nows for people you don't know. It's a bad idea.

Drama in my life.

However, I loved my girls. I hope they collided with God.

I feel like I'm just at a point where my only desire is for everything in my life to be for the glory of God. He is my first and only love. I just really want everything to be for him.

It's a good place to be. You are welcome to come join me. :)

peace.

I wish I may, I wish I might...

My hearts hurts.

And I'm just not sure what to do with it.

Happy Groundhog's Day.

Who Knew?

Apparently, the difference between "dark golden brown" and "dark brown" was a little greater than I expected.

oops.

That said, I'm going to stay with my roomie tomorrow and on to OBU Friday.

And it is well with my soul.

Peace.

Life Lately.

A lot of things happened that I didn't understand.

But I think God is showing me a little bit of his purpose.

He gave, and then He took away... and I said, "God, why did you do that to me?" To which He replied, "Do you trust me? Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened unto you."

And so I am asking, I am seeking, and I am knocking. And God said, "See, if I didn't take away you wouldn't have learned to ask."

And so I smiled. And realized that I am very happy in this season of asking.

And this season of asking is turning into a season of intercession, with which I believe God will do incredible things.

I believe that a season of intercession is followed by a season of receiving, finding, and opened doors. And I really like praying-- and I think that is a good thing.

And mostly, I am excited to go back to school, to be with people I love, to seek God there in the things He is doing, and to live a full life of satisfaction.

So, God has proven Himself to be wonderful, yet again. How marvelous.

Love.
