Day # 1


I kind of felt lead to collect my thoughts during this particular week. Each year, our church holds a week of fasting and prayer and each week it has been incredible the way the Lord has moved in our body both on an individual and corporate level.It has been really cool because this year, the Lord has given me a real confidence in his ability to sustain me during this week. He has done it before so why wouldn't he do it again? He is faithful. I have three midterms during this week but I am not worried because I know that this week God is going to show me that he alone is my sustainance--not food.

So it is day number one and to be honest, I am not that hungry! I know that I will be looking at this on Friday and wanting to go back to this feeling but I am really trying to treasure every moment that I feel satisfied.

I am so excited to see what God is going to do during this week! With that being said, I am excited to experiment with all sorts of liquids!

Create in us clean hearts, O God;
And sustain us in Your Holy Spirit.

Beautiful Letdown.

It was a beautiful let down When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt It was a beautiful let down The day I knew That all the riches this world had to offer me Would never do. In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in, Until I found out I don't belong here . (Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot) Sometimes, I am so easily distracted. Have you ever noticed that it's when you are doing something important, like homework, chores, QUIET TIME WITH THE LORD, that all of a sudden your mind gets filled with all these "super important" (not really, though) things that just skip a million levels on the priority ladder? Since when was checking the weather more important than seeking the face of God early in the morning? The answer is never; it's never more important. I just get distracted from what is important. This past weekend, I heard something incredibly profound. A pastor said that as we grow in fa

It's ok to not be ok.

I’m not alright, I’m broken inside {broken insiiiiiiiide} If you grew up listening to positive, encouraging, K-LOVE, you likely recognized those words from a Sanctus Real song (and if you don’t, worry not, you aren’t really missing anything). While sometimes I’d like to think that I’ve evolved into this authentic, cool Christian who is obviously too cool for mainstream Christian music, sometimes the Lord chooses to humble you by making you cry with a cheesy Stephen Curtis Chapman ballad circa 1999! I can’t explain it, it just happens sometimes. At any rate, this song has been speaking so deeply to my heart, because it has been a rough season for me lately. I think that a lot of times as Christians, we equate living the “good Christian life” with having everything look good on the outside for people. For me personally, I think that my life probably looks pretty awesome from the outside, and for a while, I was okay with people thinking that it was an accurate portrayal of how I’m
