He moves my heart, I move His.
I sing a song of love to my King. A song of love to the one who has never left me or betrayed me. To the one who knows my heart better than I. Is it any wonder that whenever I return to Him I am like a teenager who is feeling infatuation for the first time?
Every time I seek God’s face through worship music, I am suddenly released to be a mushy-gushy little girl again. I...

Boise, Idaho.
I moved to Boise, Idaho two days ago. Yes, “the land of potatoes.” I am SO EXCITED to be here! What in the world am I doing here you may ask? Well instead of the long, drawn out description of this amazing organization- let me show you. Click the link that’s attached to the bottom of this post. Monday through Wednesday I will primarily be working with refugees and Brent...

He's so good to me.
Well it has been a long time since I’ve written on this blog and I apologize for that! Man, what a blessing it is to be able to write down what the Lord is doing in my life and putting on my heart. I love you guys!
I’ve been home for almost 2 months now and God has been showering me with blessings. Everything I’ve prayed for, He has given to me. All the visions I had while I was...

“The foolishness of the cross will confine the words of the wise.” -This is cool. No matter how wise or knowledgeable you are, you can’t deny the power of the cross because that type of love doesn’t make any sense. I felt so lucky that God came down in the form of a human to prove that this love could be both not of this world and of this world. Of this world because...

For what do I have if I don't have You, Jesus
All I am is more hungry than before. I’m hungry for more of You, Jesus. I’m so aware of how much a struggle life is without You and I don’t want any part of it. Wake up my senses to your presence.
It’s so easy to lose sight of what He’s done for me. The world tells us to not trust any one. To keep our walls up an critique and judge everybody. But Lord, allow me to...

I'm so in love with You
As I begin to write I’m getting so excited to talk about what God’s been teaching me since I’ve been in New York.
Man, God loves the people of New York SO MUCH. Instantly I felt the weight of the city pushing me down. The dark spirits of the city are so obvious it’s overwhelming. We were warned several times before we went that it’d be easy to get caught up in the...

Though the world seems to forget, we will not forget who You are and what You’ve done for us…
I’m listening to worship music. I just want to get on my face right now and start worshiping Him. One of God’s original designs for me was dancing for Him as a form of worship and praise. I have to go to the dance studio after I write this because my body is being called to dance...
6-10 as promised
6. “Faith is being sure of what you hope for and responding as if it already happened. Are you living as if the promise is already true?”- Jake Hamilton
Ahhhh!!!! I’m freaking out right now. I struggle with this one so much because I’ve only had a taste of how big God is. If I have a small idea of how big God is, my faith in him will be just as small. If I really...
Top 10 Favorite Quotes
The other day I was telling my parents some new quotes/advice from our speakers that flat out knocked my socks off. My dad suggested that I accumulate the Top 10 and write them on my blog with some commentary. Great idea dad! You’re ideas are priceless ;)
One of my many favorite things about being a new follower of Christ is how astounded I am by simple words of wisdom. I love that I have...
Last Night...
As I sit here in my bed about to go to sleep, I have realized there are few pleasures in life that give me more joy than spending time having an in depth conversation with family and friends. During the week our class schedule is pretty busy when it comes to our daily priorities. For me, a good day in comm. trans. dts looks like this: 6:15 breakfast 8-12:15 lecture 12:15 lunch 1:30-3:30 prayer...

He's always there.
I was having an odd couple of days. I just felt really disconnected from God and I didn’t know why I was having bitter feelings toward people come up. I was walking around my room trying to figure out what activity I should do next to help me feel better. Should I meet up with friends? Should I go to my refrigerator? Should I do a chore? What the heck am I supposed to be doing right now? I...

Belief
I was sitting in class listening to 1 of many inspiring stories from a missionary named Joe Portale. In each story I noticed how much faith he had in his team going to several different places of the world. How many people they’ve reached and how many miracles he’s witnessed. It was becoming hard for me to listen because my allergies were so bad. Sniffles, nose running like a faucet,...
Drug of Choice: Ibuprofen
Never have I ever loved Ibuprofen more than I do now. I woke up with a fever and it is only because of Ibuprofen that I get to write this post.
Can you believe it? I’m already about half way through my lecture phase of my dts. NOOOOO! I can honestly say I love almost every second of it and don’t want it to end. The prayer room, roomies, staff, speakers, oatmeal, new friends, random...

hold up, RE-CAP
This past week was so electrifying, it’s getting intimidating for me to just think of having to summarize it. I know everyone in my class is experiencing something different but that’s what’s so cool about our dts. We all are taught the same content but take away various things.
This week I’ve realized:
1. Everything that has been familiar to me when it comes to...
arrival/move-in day
The rest of my roommates should be arriving today. So far I’ve got an Australian roommate, two girls from Holland, another from Afghanistan, and the rest are Americans. It’ll be amusing to see how our cultures differ. It was hard to leave the lovely condo I was staying in behind, but it’s nice to finally be settled in the dorm.
I pulled out our refrigerator to plug it in, and...
