2am conversations.
Dating. (Christian style)
The questions:
How far is too far?
Should we (as Christians) date several people before marriage?
Is intimacy before marriage okay?
Because society is so corrupted, I may as well push the envelope as long as I don’t reach society’s level, right?
My conclusions (based on a solid 45 minutes of talking about this):
This depends largely on your own...

My weekend.
Was a mixture of epic fun and deep conversations.
Friday night was small group. We finally got through the night completely on schedule and had a beautiful worship/prayer sesh after. We prayed buckets over two people really struggling in our group right now and the breakthrough was so apparent it was almost tangible.
Saturday night/Sunday morning was my birthday party and oh my gosh. SO. FUN....

I probably come off as a person that's obsessed...
I’m constantly talking/posting about it. The majority of my accessories have something to do with it. My binder has agape written all over it. I’m constantly drawing hearts on either myself or others.
But really, is love such a bad thing to be obsessed with? And it’s not love, like sex and kisses. It’s love the way God meant it to be. Pure. It’s who God is....

I want you to know that if you have ever felt singled out or degraded because of who you are, I am here for you and God considers you an absolute treasure.

I want to live a lifestyle of love. So much that...
And not worldly love. Not a kind of love that is tainted by sinful and selfish desires.
A love that inspires people to share it.
A love that is completely unquenchable and untamable.
A love that covers up wrongs.
A love that could only come from one place: Jesus Christ.
I want people to think of me and say, “that girl made me feel loved and worth something.”
I want to be...

Infiltrate my heart, God.
Permeate my soul.
Overwhelm me with Your love that’s
Sweeter than sugar and richer than gold.
Satisfy my deepest desires with the simple concept of who You are.
God, I can't even express the degree to which I am...
I am joyfully and forever Yours. Have Your way in me.

No wonder so many of us are insecure about singing. In a society that will tell you you shouldn’t sing because you don’t sound like “(fill in the blank)”.
It’s something we should all aspire to overcome. God loves to hear us pour our hearts out to Him in song. <3

Have you ever gone on a double date?
I’ve gone on a “there’s this really cute guy that I’m ‘hanging out’ with and I didn’t want it to be awkward so I thought I’d bring you; oh, and he’s bringing his ugly guy friend” date.
I like to call it a double-third-wheel date.
Ask me something(:

Literally.
He looked down, saw you, and said “This is My son.” He lifted you up and said “This is My daughter.”
And when the human race looked at Him, puzzled, and said, “You want that? That person isn’t even worth a second glance!”
He looked at them with a huge smile on His face and said, “Yes!! You don’t see what I see. You don’t...

Prayer is such a beautiful thing.
It works miracles.
Psalm 27:1-3
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life;
Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.

Brokenness
There is so much hurt in our lives that we think God can’t heal. So much brokenness that we think is unmendable. Because we’ve tried everything else, why would God be able to heal us? So we hold onto it. We hold onto that pain and tell God that it’s pointless to try and fix us. That we’re past mending.
That’s when God looks at us and says “My child, nothing is...

What is the most important thing about...
Love. I cannot say this or stress this enough. God is love. We were made by God and for God. Therefore we were made by love and for love. It is the very core of everything. It is interwoven and imbedded into every infinitesimal detail of who we are.
The two most important commandments involve love. Love the Lord your God with EVERYTHING you are and love your neighbor as yourself.
The most...

Do you believe the church can do better than it's...
The church can most definitely improve. There is always room for improvement with such an imperfect people. However, for the church to change, each individual has to be willing to change. You have to be willing to change. We need to stop seeking selfish gain and start working together as one body; one family. We need to put aside our feuds and differences and accept that we won’t always...

You are not your own.
“The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it.” (Psalm 24:1) Everything we have and everything we are belongs to God. Everything from our money to our toughest struggles to the love of our lives. So why do we have such a hard time giving it all up to Him?
“Greater love has no-one than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.”
– John 15:13 (via peqweens)

And that’s a scary thing. We’ll find ourselves completely alone for a time.
But we must always remember that God is faithful and He will provide someone in our time of need.

Will you stand by my side As I look at the tower that is my imperfections? Will you pull out each brick And destroy what others had built? Will you rupture the foundation of hate And plant a foundation of love? Will you build me a castle Of reasons why you love me?
And when you discover all my flaws
Will you love me anyway?

What is your favorite New Testament verse?
I have many, but the first two that come to mind right now are 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and 1 John 4:17.
“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;bears all things,...

What will it take before you surrender to God?
So I was doing my morning devotions and I opened up to the book of Jonah. I know the story pretty well; Jonah was a prophet and a man that desired to do God’s will. But when the opportunity came and God told him what to do, he shrunk back in fear. It took being swallowed by a fish to realize that God’s will is so much better than any other choice. And when he finally listened, he...

Let the rain fall
As we listen to it hit our roof rhythmically
Together in perfect harmony.
Will you hold with me?
Let the rain pour
On our faces and cleanse deep inside
As the water soaks us through and through
I will dance with you.
Let the rain stop
When it has run its course
And life will come forth new
I will miss you.
