Bride

If you knew anything about Samford you would know that getting engaged before your senior year is a must.
Yeah I know kinda crazy!

The idea of that makes me anxious in good and bad ways.
It is very hard to be content in the present when your constantly wishing for the future.
But the thing is... I am a Bride...now..

I am a Bride of Christ.
He woos me and pursues me daily.
He blesses me.
He chooses me.
He loves me in ways I cannot even fathom myself.
He looks at me in awe of beauty.
Song of Songs4:7
 "All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you."
He purchased me with his blood.
He endured the worst death for me.
But the love he had for me beat death.
I am forever his.
Nothing can take me away from him.
He will never leave me.
He will forgive me even when I turn away.
I am the Bride of Christ.
I am the Bride of Christ.
I am the Bride of Christ.
I am the Bride of Christ.
I am the Bride of Christ.
forever.


love these girls

My

Yes I am alive :)
I know I went MIA for a few but never fear I'm back!
These past few weeks have been crazy, confusing, and distracting.
I just kinda lost sight of a few this to be honest.

However, the Lord never leaves us we just have to wallow in the pig pen for a little while in order to see what we really need.
I lost sight of my priorities and got wraped up in
my plans,
my goals,
my tests,
my papers,
my meeting,
mymymymymymymymy.

Get the picture?!

The Lord always calls me back though.
This morning he splashed some cold water on me and woke me up.
He pulled me out of the pig pen.

Save your best striving for seeking My Face.
I am constantly comunicating with you.
To find Me and hear My voice,
you must seek Me above all else.
Anything that you desire more than Me becomes an Idol
[school, extracurriculars, significant others]
When you are determined to get your own way,
you blot Me out of your conscioursness.
Instead of single-mindedly perusuing some goal,
talk with Me about it.
Seek me first and foremost; then the rest of your life will fall into place.
[Jesus Calling]


He has my whole life in his hands.
I just need to trust him.
Because I know that I cannot do this on my own...
Thats why I have melt downs, and get stressed.

I am thankful for a God
who will help me get through college,
who helps me get through papers,
who helps me to schedule my life.
I just need to trust him.


 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
