Indescrible

Hello All, I want to remind you all, today, that YOU are worth it! YOU are VERY special to the Creator of the Universe! The proof of His existence is in the very essence of your being and in every little thing around you! YOU have a purpose ! YOUR life has a greater meaning than you or I can fathom! He knows YOUR name ! God is indescrible and is greater than anything we can EVER imagine, yet He chooses to use us! Psalm 8: 3-6 "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place; what is mankind that You are mindful of them? Human beings that You care for them? You made them a little lower than the angels, and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of You hands; You put everything under their feet."  I find it so humbling and comforting to think about this! It brings me to my knees, brings me to tears, and makes me feel so small, yet at the same time, so safe! I'd greatly encourage...

Be The Reason

Be the reason someone smiles Be the reason someone chooses to live another day Be the reason someone chooses to question their belief that God doesn't exsist Be the reason someone chooses to read the Bible for the first time Be the reason someone's crappy day turns into a great one Be the change you want to see in this world Be the change you want to see in yourself Be the change you want to see in your significant other Be the change you want to see in your kids Be the light God has called you to be, because you may be the only Bible some people read and the only Jesus they see today Hey you guys, So, today, if you can't tell, I'm a bit fired about the subject of being a better me...and encouraging you to be a better you. haha! I've been stuggling a lot lately with lonlieness, sleeplessness, migraines, small, but still annoying, panic attacks, etc. etc. and the thing that's gotten me through this is God, first of all, and secondly, trying each day to encourag...

I've Been Redeemed By Grace So That I Can Fullfil My Purpose To Point Others To Him

Hey Everyone, So, if you know me, personally, you know that I have a tattoo and recently added to it and if you don't know me, in person, it's a butterfly on my left arm with the word " Redeemed " next to it and then on my right wrist are the words, "by grace ;" I LOVE IT! Now, I know some people I know, and some people I don't, are greatly against tattoos and can't fathom why anyone would get them in the first place. I, obviously, don't think they are a bad thing and although I don't feel like I have to defend my choices to anyone, since it's my body and my life, I figured I'd share a little here why I got it. A few people I know, have shared their opinions on the fact that they don't like it, others have said they absolutely love it, and others have teased me (in a loving way of course :P) that I only got it to be cool or to look "tough", which is absolutely absured...I mean, how could a butterfly/hearts/fancy lines ...

Girl In A Country Song

Hey All, This blog post has been in my head for weeks, but I just haven't found the time to write it until now. The subject of women and men equality has been at the forefront of my thoughts a lot lately, and so, I figured it was high time, I got a few of my thoughts down. If you haven't noticed, there's a new trend going around in the music industry (and I'm sure others too, but music is my world so just go with it) about feeling good about yourself no matter your size. While this is good in and of itself, I don't agree with the way woman are going about doing it. There's Nicki's Anaconda, J-Lo's Booty, and Meghan's All About that Bass. Personally, I can't stand any of these songs (a shame, because, as the title suggests, Meghan's hit has got some pretty sick bass which sounds killer in my car) and hate it when people praise these woman on theses songs. I'm not saying they are bad people, I personally LOVE me some J-Lo, but I think these...

God is LOVE

Hey All, So, I'm on the tailend of a migraine, am pretty tired and therefore, probably should be going to sleep now instead of sitting up in bed, blogging, but I had to get a few things out. While looking up a music video to a country song just now, I ended up stumbling upon a few others I hadn't heard of/seen (funny how YouTube just sucks one in, huh?) and in doing so, ended up seeing some comments under one of them that has gotten me quite annoyed....probably more so then I should be, but anyways. The song was about having fun in the summertime, nothing dirty about it, and granted the video did have girls in pretty skimpy bikinis, but that's besides the point. The top comment, was from this person who's username I can't remember except for the fact that it had the word "Jesus" in it and in this comment he was quoting the Bible. Mind you, I don't have any problem with the Bible, of course, and spreading the Truth around is always a good thing to do, b...

Anomaly

Hey Everyone, If you haven't picked up already, I am a HUGE Lecrae fan and will be til the day I die! haha! One of my biggest pet peeves is when people critize Christian rap and say it's impossible to have such a thing...let me tell you it is NOT! I get that it's "different" than what some may think of as Christian, but you know what, this is what the hip-hop culture NEEDS! DESPERATELY! We need someone to rap the gospel (he literally has multiple songs where he does this and it makes me tear up sometimes because it's just so cool)! We need people of different cultures, different walks of life, to all come together to further His Kingdom here on earth...if we were all the same, what good would that do? My all time favorite version of How Great is Our God , is the world edition, purely because it is sung in multiple differently languages and is just beautiful! I hate when people diss Lecrae, and his music, because it sounds "secular" and "world...

More of You

Hey All, So, I'm a huge Colton Dixon fan, and have been, since his first audition on American Idol. I love him because he's mega talented, shares my faith and was/is very open about it, loves Air1  (only the best radio station EVER lol), and, also, sang DAUGHTRY songs a few times on 'Idol' and they're my favorite band. haha! His new song More of You is one of my all time favorites, and truely is the cry of my heart! I made my castle tall I built up every wall This is my kingdom and it needs to fall I want you and no one else Empty me of myself Until the only thing that's left is More of You Less of me Make me who I'm meant to be You're all I want all I need You're everything Take it all I surrender Be my king God I choose More of You and Less of me I need more of you More of you This life I hold so close Oh, God I let it go I refuse to gain the world and lose my soul So take it all I abandon everything I am You can have it The only thing I need...
