just call on me...


...and I'll be there.

love, Jesus



when you feel out of control
and nothing makes sense,
when the world suffocates
and the air becomes dense
lift up your head
and straighten your back,
our God is greater
than any attack.

sink or swim baby

old habits are hard to break,


...but not impossible.

It's better to be alive and striving, then comfortably barely living.


good morning




breakfast, lunch, and dinner with love and good cheer bring health to my eyes.
walking in love and constant awareness of the grace that falls over me supplies my hope.
a small sweet reminder turns the curve of my mouth heavenward.
faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is L O V E

I will be patient,
I will be kind,
...I will bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things that are s e t a p a r t.

Today marks my 3 months at work, and I can't believe how fast time flies there! I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, because I don't want to feel like I'm just living to work, but I know I am there to let my light shine and do the will of my Father who sees all things from his glorious throne in heaven. I hope I'm doing something right, and that I am pushing myself a bit more each day to make Him think of me. On another note, I have been trying to be more open to people, but it's difficult. I am afraid of my bad habits being exposed to others, yet I desire to use my hands and words to heal the wounds of others...In a way I guess we all sort of desire to be of help rather than to get help. I've been hanging out a lot with my coworkers and church friends, it's a strange play of events how relationships roll from one end to the other. I always thought that friendships were unbreakable, but life has shown me that rather than unbreakable they are elastic. Days are too short to stay in one circle. I will love harder today because He loves me.

bright star

with your eyes you see,
yet you do nothing,
you are still blind

with your ears you hear,
yet you do nothing,
you are still deaf

with your lips you speak,
yet you do nothing,
you are still mute

with you thoughts you think,
yet you do nothing,
you are still stupid

love is a verb
faith without action is dead
obedience is better than sacrifice

Change is possible with patient obedience and true love.
