Mixed emotions today.
Yesterday was the CD release of my all time favorite artist/ human being, Kari Jobe.

Yes, I'm so committed I had to go out and buy the actual album.
This CD is a blessing in and of itself. It couldn't have come at a better time in my life, I feel like God "made" this CD for me and my heart. I am so excited for what it's doing in the lives of others as well! Go out and buy it.
Where I Find You.--I will take credit for you becoming obsessed with Kari.
I've converted quite a few of my friends and I am extremely proud of that fact haha. if you aren't already aware .. I am OBSESSED. <3

On the other end of the spectrum of emotions, the husband of the family I babysit for is in the ICU with septic shock and pneumonia. Please join me in lifting up Ian and Denisse Warshak by name today. They are in need of a miracle and a healer, and who better at both of those than our almighty God?






I just got back from watching their three precious children who don't really know what is going on. Please pray for them as well. I know they miss their Daddy seeing as he has been in the hospital.
These children need God's comfort tonight as they sleep.
Thank you friends.

2012. It's going to be a beautiful year, I can feel it.Everyone who was home for Christmas break has officially packed up and returned to school. I've been left here to figure things out on my own. I swear it's like once I catch my breath God says "Oh good, you've caught your breath, let's dive deep again. I don't think you've had enough of this yet."-Can't complain, these trialing yet precious adventures with Jesus are how I learn and I wouldn't rather be on that kind of a ride with anyone other than the very lover of my soul. Who needs to catch a break right? :)

- matthew 12:34 is my current conviction
- i'm trying to trust in God's greater plan, even though it hurts right now
- stressed out and weary to the max; emotionally, spiritually and physically
- school, work, becoming a young adult, feeling sick, wanting to be unearthed

 God pretty much made me aware that I'm an idiot and don't trust Him nearly enough as I should. I want to do it right this time.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Things are missing from me and I just want to go back, right this very second, and live the way I think my life should be. - Last time I tried that it didn't turn out well so I'm trying to trust again that I'm taken care of. Faith in God includes faith in His timing. That is something huge I have learned/ am learning in my current journey.
You see, if you were to say invite God to a tea party .. He'd be exactly on time. Rarely early and most certainly NEVER late.
That's how He is when it comes to the plans He has for you.
[Silly illustration, I know] but it's true. God in His entirety is PERFECT.


To those who believe in the power of prayer, please send up a word for me.
You're all wonderful and if you're reading this, you are loved!

^ I want that to be the theme of my life.
I want to change the world in Jesus' name.

Change is an opportunity to learn, to grow and to trust God. 
Seek God in change.

At the precise point where we refuse, growth stops."
