A Few Words.

Now, if you've ever read my blog you know I am not a girl of few words. Not in writing at least. Real-life conversations are a different story. I love to listen. But when I'm writing, I can go on for hours. Anyway, this one is going to be short. Because I have 2 huge tests tomorrow. Freaking out? Yes. But no matter--I must update you on my life, whoever you are! But literally, this will only take one sentence.
I'm going to be doing summer missions in Oklahoma this summer! WOOOOO!

I know that doesn't sound all that wonderful, but believe me when I say that this has been so incredibly orchestrated by our God that it cannot be denied as one of the best things ever. More to come on that later, because write now, I have to learn about the Patriarchs of the Bible. Exciting? .... no comment. And I need to know how to locate Greek verbs. That one is exciting, as nerdy as that may sound. Ok. So pray that I don't stress out and am able to study and/or that classes get cancelled because of the crazy weather! :)

Return {velvet ashes link up}

To the one who stayed, and now must return, dear friend,  dear self, You didn't want to stay. Everything within you was ready to go. You were ready. Everything but your bags was packed: your heart, your calling, your identity—stowed away in the treasure boxes you found them in at first. Reburied like sand shuffled under waves of uncertainty, doubt, and the existential lie: did God really say? But you stayed. And even though sometimes you waffle and wonder, you know He asked you to. Every time you thought you heard conflicting words: stay, leave, you were really only hearing yourself. Until you could get away in the silence and the May stormy skies and the big white-down comforter to keep you warm. Then you could be still. Then you were silent. Then He spoke.  His words were crystal clear: I'm going to redeem all of it.  And He did, didn't He? I know you're feeling conflicted, confused over all these emotions: ready to leave, wanting to stay. A far, f...

A Mashed-up Montage of Mayhem. Aka, Life.

So, life has been crazy busy lately. I know everyone says that, but for real life. I'm a bit drained. But better now. I am currently finding peace right here right now. My heart is worshiping (now playing: "Forever Reign" by Hillsong...I'm on a Hillsong kick). My mind is at rest (between two tests already taken this morning, two more in the next 24 hours). His Word is being brought to my mind continually right now. His presence is here beside me, I am resting in His arms. Let me just blurb for awhile, about many different things. Philippians 2:17--"Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering up the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all." This phrase keeps coming to my mind. God is using me. I'm being transformed into His image, day after day. The veil has been removed. And I pray my face shines like Moses' did. But that people won't hide. But that God will draw them closer to Himself. Being p...

some stories

Today I read a job posting that said, "Applicant must love telling stories." YES. I wish could have immediately applied; however, I am still finishing school and looking at moving overseas as immediately as possible, provided the Lord not only opens the door, but pays for it to be opened. I can't doubt that He will, because I saw Him provide so abundantly for East Asia, but the figure I'm looking at is literally over 10 times larger (really?!), and that is terrifying. Excuse the rabbit trail. But it's real life. And He's holding it all in His hands. So, how about I take a different avenue now, and post some of my favorite photos from my trip on here, with a little story or two to go with each? Ok, here we go. This was our last big time sharing with college students, and I think it was one of my favorites. I shared the story of the symbolism of the candy cane, which I dreaded as I approached the trip, but my mom made sure I found the story and bought ...
