Live The New Song


This Thanksgiving holiday has really got me thinking. There was a terrible accident on the highway near my house, where two young lives were taken, and one in critical condition. I wasn’t close to these girls but it has been lying heavy on my heart. I can’t imagine. Life is so short and can be taken from us at any moment. I started asking myself questions. What will happen when I die, how will I die? I was freaking myself out. I realized I am afraid to die. I asked my dad during our church service this morning, what happens if your afraid to die? He said then your living too much for yourself. I started to think about what it is that I am doing to further God’s kingdom. As I was thinking, the pastor began to speak about the second coming, as it is very popular to speak of the second coming on the first Sunday of advent season. I felt so convicted the whole service.
I’m living my life selfishly and I’m called to win others to Jesus. Isn’t this our job here on Earth? Give me your eyes for the broken, and a burden for the lost. I have decided that I will take action on these thoughts I am having. Lord please direct our paths as Christians to show others you every chance we get. I will continue to seek you on this, and ask for any opportunities that may come my way. So the question is are you living your life to glorify him? Are you telling others about him? Challenge yourself to create a new song.

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
-Hebrews 12:2

No distractions sweep us away in your love! Love You.

Singing Over Me


Where to start? This past year has been life-changing. Coming back from India, i didn't honestly know how i would handle things. God has challenged me in so many ways, and I wouldn't trade anything for this amazing opportunity I've been given. I have made so many new friends and I am so incredibly grateful for the new relationships I have formed. God continues to bless me time and time again. I am so undeserving.

Recently God has grabbed a hold of my heart, and is calling me to love selflessly, like my Indian friends. I have always been known as a crazy, fun, rowdy girl, always looking to have fun, but God has really challenged me to show people the real me. I want to be known for my relationship with Christ. A lot of the times it is hard for me to get my emotions out, but God keeps calling me to show people the emotional side of me. I want to reflect Christ's love in all of the things i do. I love having fun, and being crazy, but I want people to know the reason why i have fun, because God is singing over me, He is truth, He is life, He is all i need. My passions are given to me by God. God has given me more than I deserve, I want everyone to know that. I want to be the Lord's instrument. Send me Lord.
