For my film project!

Watch it now!

Time...

Today is my last day of classes at CCU then finals next week. It still really hasn't hit me yet but I know it will soon and I'm dreading that... I'm just praying that God will grant me amazing friends at Art Institute like he has here at CCU. Maybe this is why my family moved to Colorado with me... So I can still be around my CCU friends (and be an honorary RAR for Boondocks!) while going to a different school. I have a feeling that I will be incredibly grateful for their encouragement to me already at AI.

So instead of being sad that I'm leaving, I'm going to try to be excited for what God has in store. It's not really good-bye after all... I won't be living at CCU but I will be able to keep a connection with the school and my amazing friends.

Blessed

Dedicated to one of the best weeks of my life filled with little moments that have meant everything to me <3

God is good!

I get to see my beautiful niece Cadence tonight! God is good and He is on our side :) I can't even imagine how much more excited Andrea is!

Oh, Boys...

I'm a control freak. When I like a guy, I try to go out of my way to "run into" them or try to think of a legitimate excuse to text them (not just "hey what's up"). With ever guy I find an interest in, I feel as though he may be my last hope. For love, safety, a future, and whatever else may come from it.

And yet, I never am truly upfront with them about it, let alone date them. A friend of my just recently told me I act very stand-offish around guys, especially one I like. I'm afraid of getting hurt or humiliated so I wait for them to come to me. Well, that has yet to happen. There are times where I struggle with this a lot and ask God why I go unnoticed.

I'm a control freak. I can't control this. I can't make this happen, which is probably why I can convince myself (too easily, possibly) that it will never happen for me. What does that say about me? If I can't do something on my own, it won't ever work out? I feel like I can trust God with other things way easier than with this and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because it's one of my deepest longings. God knows that. So why would he ignore that?

Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Psalm 37:4

 

Joy!

Last night my sister texted me saying "I forgot to tell you, I asked Jesus into my heart yesterday :)"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words cannot express how excited I was/am!! I literally danced around my apartment with my roommate Sarah and when we got too hot to stand being inside, we skipped around campus :) I then proceeded to text all of my friends who had been praying for her with the good news :)

God is so good!!!

Praise God!!!

What Satan means for evil, God uses for good :)

Things are still hard but Andrea is no longer only my blood sister, but also my sister in Christ!


This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
2 Corinthians 5:17

God is on our side.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
       When you cross rivers, you will not drown.
    When you walk through fire, you will not be burned,
       nor will the flames hurt you.
Isaiah 43:2

I love the Lord because he hears my voice
      and my prayer for mercy.
 Because he bends down to listen,
      I will pray as long as I have breath! 
Psalm 116:1-2

The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.
      What can mere people do to me?
 Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.
      I will look in triumph at those who hate me.  
Psalm 118:6-7

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
James 5:16b

Why, God?

I've never been one to ask God why. I always knew there was a reason for something, no matter what it was.

I'm asking now.
