re: pray for him
michael’s fine. he got out of the hospital this morning. he’s got a viral infection, but he’ll be alright once it gets out of his system. thank you for your prayers!
pray for him.
i just typed out this huge rant about my life but then God kinda put things into perspective for me…
michael (my brother) is in the hospital. i just got a call from jake (my youth pastor, who michael is in florida with). i don’t want to think about it. i miss him so much. karli’s on her way home right now and she’s going to start crying…i know her too well. i have a...

if you are in “the land in between,” the time of brokenness, emptiness, and hurting, don’t worry. God is right there with you. things may seem rough now, but he’s got you. “consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you experience trials of many kinds because the testing of your faith develops perseverance. perseverance must finish it’s work so that you may...

kids :)
i went to the doctor today, and while i was in the waiting room, a couple brought in their kid who was about 3 or 4. he was going on and on about how he was going to buy a car and how he could afford it because he wanted it.
that’s the great thing about kids. they haven’t been corrupted by the world, so they believe everything is possible and let their imagination soar. i love being...

tumblr
it’s so funny how tumblr works. it’s like you feel like you’re really close with the people you’re following, but then they aren’t all following you, so you feel like you’re kinda creepy but not really because for some reason it is acceptable online…
words with friends, anyone?

sitting, waiting, wishing
i just can’t wait until the day God places the man in my life who i am meant to be with, the man who will love me and respect me with all he can, the man who challenges me in my walk with God, the man who guards my heart and purity.
still waiting on the Lord. sure, i’m only 19 but i’m so pissed at men right now. i need my man before i give up entirely. i don’t think i...

harry potter and the order of the phoenix, which i am currently in the middle of reading
a rubix cube…solved…
the complete 6 disc set of harry potter
along with this, i was arguing with my brother about which movie was best and getting all excited...

psalm 27
the Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall i fear? the Lord is the stonghold of my life - of whom shall i be afraid?
when the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then i will be confident.
one thing i ask from the Lord, this only do i seek:...

purdue is huuuge.
it really made me miss biola. i realized how much i actually appreciate my other home :) it is absolutely perfect and i couldn’t ask for anyplace better. the size is perfect. it’s not small like my high school, yet it isn’t too big to the point where i will literally never see half of the people living on campus. i think that’s what makes the biola community so great. we...

amidst the anger, there lies a longing
for those of you just tuning in, my parents are in the middle of a sudden divorce after 19 years. my dad pretty much decided that my family was too messed up to be fixed so he would rather just get out. since it was so sudden, he hasn’t moved out yet. this week, however, he’s been staying at his sister’s house while her family is out of town. my mother, sister, brother, and...

trusting
the only thing a man has is his God and his word. that’s it. God never makes mistakes, so God’s name can never be anything but perfect (humans’ perceptions of God may be altered, but that does not change the perfection of His name). but, unfortunately for us, we make mistakes. we have the power to deface our own name. we can choose what kind of person we want to become and...

God...
so i went through some of my old blog posts and i’m realizing how little i’ve posted about God in the past couple of weeks. it’s really sad…it’s as if my relationship with God is put on hold, and i hate it. i miss my closeness with God and the way He would comfort me in my day-to-day. i’m taking more time out for him and praying that i’ll be able to find...

How To Be A Godly Girlfriend
christianwords:
by Diane Montgomery
It doesn’t seem like that long ago I stopped being a girlfriend and became someone’s wife. Was reading all those books and articles on being the “perfect” girlfriend pointless? Not at all! I learned a lot and it helped lay the foundation for who I am as a wife because the dating relationship is a good indication of what the marriage will be like. But until...
updates from home
a few things:
my wifi has been down for a couple of days but just on my laptop. to get my internet fix for the day, i have been playing words with friends non-stop.
my dad said he would be out of the house by the end of the week…last week…he’s still here. my mom’s in a lot of pain. he’s just playing with her heart and messing with her head. i’ve lost all...

what if we prayed for those around us like this:
“we continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit give, so that you may live in a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,...
