made in his image

its monday be open to change..be willing to allow God to reveal things to you that may be uncomfortable.

so i cant get the lyrics of this song out of my mind.
…. you were pierced for me, forever scarred for me …..
…. your praying now for me, coming back for me ….

wow .. just in awe right now of how awesome my God is.. he was forever scarred for me, he died on the cross for me and for you! i just wish more people in the world knew that because it is so amazing. GOD LOVES ME AND HE LOVES YOU! HE LOVES THE WORLD. he sent his son to die on the cross for us and he is coming back for us .. like wow just in awe of how crazy that is .. sometimes i just cant wrap my head around that because he is so faithful and amazing.. and when you understand that it is completely impossible to not be passionately in love with him…

soooo today was a wacky day!!! i was planning on waking up and going to the gym but instead i hit the snooze button and went back to bed.. then when i went to leave for work i realized that my car was still covered in snow from 2 days ago because i havent cleaned it off yet.. and in the midst of cleaning it off i stepped in like a puddle of water and dont think my socks are dry yet! then on the way to work i got a huge flat tire and was 30 minutes late to work and was frustrated because i had to inconvience 2 people to come pick me up but they didnt mind! then i had to try and find someone to change the tire so i could go get a new one .. and finally i did.. after being frustrated all day. i had some time to sit at the tire station and invite someone to church!! which made my whole day that much better.. God works in mysterious ways ..

She’d be an inch and a half shorter than me with three freckles that make a triangle in the middle of her collarbone. Hazel eyes would make my blood electric with every stare. Her cheeks would hit the hang up button on her cell phone and they would warrant a perfect line from a song to be dedicated to them as we dance in circles on the carpet of my living room. She would wake in the middle of the night and ask, “Where are you?” when we’re only three inches apart. 

My cells would pioneer new skin at the touch of her fingertips just to breathe in their first breath of air that surrounds her body. So they could find a connection with the flakes of death that fall upon them and mourn their collected beauty from a life they just fell from.

Her words would be full of hope and wisdom. Full of fight and God. Full of purity and passion. Her heart would create sparks that would ignite a fire inside me. A fire that burns for our foundation for God and our genuine love for each other in His honor. We would find ourselves showing love that would be for people to pull from. To find hope in. To know that they don’t have to settle.

My perfect girl is real. She is beauty in it’s purest form. She is my love. She is my blood. She is perfectly structured grace. She is soft skin, high hips, and a voice that makes a southern boy smile at rebellion for breaking the rules and tradition of his state. She loves sweet tea, fried chicken, and the asphalt under her feet. She is someone who doesn’t cloud my life with our God, but strengthens it and gives it new meaning.

Girls, if you don’t have someone who can talk like this about you when it’s what you desire most, seek God and wait for him. Do not settle. Guys, if you can’t say these words about a girl with the purest intentions, seek God and find her. Do not settle.

One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship, beats thousands spent on Greek Island beaches. I’d rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin.

This verse has been on my heart the past 2 days. I would much rather be living in the freedom that God gives me then living in sin knowing I am not fulfilling my destiny and purpose in life

……Happy Tuesday……

thankful i serve an awesome  God. i really couldnt sleep last night, not sure if it was because i have to drive to virginia beach this morning or because i have a lot on my mind. either way im not really feeling like myself today. i feel like something is just not right. my heart aches and i dont know why. i dont feel like driving back to virginia beach, i love being home with my friends and really right now do not want to go back, but i know i have to .. this is exactly why im not coming home frequently because i know that i will never want to leave. i know that God has called me to Virginia Beach, so for the time being i have to stick it out and be there. i guess i just didnt realize that it was going to be this hard to leave again. i also have a lot on my mind. lately im feeling really damaged and hurt because of past relationships. i have forgiven those people but for some reason right now. it seems really hard to forgive. i just feel like ill never be the same person because of what happened but i know its probably for the better. i need to learn to never settle for anything less than what i deserve.. something i really struggle with.. i have this internal void that is extremely small but is just something that i need to fill with God and not other things…

because youre with me i will not fear….

sundays are my absolute favorite day of the week. i love being in church and seeing people come into God’s kingdom. i am just waiting to go to our philadelphia campus and then to our sunday night service. i love being in God’s house and seeing how he radically changes lives.
