a thousand times I've failed, still Your mercy remains

I can't tell you how many times I've failed, but I can tell you something I DO know.  God's grace is enough for me.  When you know the love of God, it changes everything.  We can live in His grace, and know that it is sufficient for everything we've done, everything we're doing, and everything we will do.  This is good news for me, and for you, too.  


Thank You, Jesus, for Your grace. 


But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

My lil' Graduate

Can't believe my little sister graduated on Friday.  I'm SO proud of her, and grateful for an amazing sister that I can call my best friend.  


Joy, you're beautiful inside and out, and you make me laugh more than anyone else!  I love you to pieces and I pray you always feel loved!  God blessed my life with you, and I know you're such a blessing to others.  Love you forever, Joy!

Undivided Heart

I thought I would share with you a beautiful song, by Vicky Beeching.  The lyrics speak the words of my heart, what I so desire and reflect the "me I want to be."  I hope these lyrics bring you as much hope as they bring me!

Undivided Heart, by Vicky Beeching

Brokenness has brought me to my knees
Face to face with all that's dark in me
I can barely see You through my shame
Jesus come and wash me white again

Flood me with Your healing light
Help me choose what's true and right

Give me an undivided heart
I want to love you with every part
Give me an undivided soul
I want to be Yours alone, Yours alone

At the cross I find Your open arms
Reminding me there's grace for all I've done
With Your blood You wipe away my past
Taking on Yourself my sin and scars

By Your power help me change
Break off every single chain

You make all things new
So take my ashes and make them something beautiful
Do what only You can do
Take my ashes and make them something beautiful

Blessed

God has blessed me with the most amazing roommates that have become some of my very best friends!  I'm so grateful for their friendship and guidance and encouragement.  They make me want to be a better person, they make me laugh more than any other, and they are truly the greatest friends I could ever ask for!  Each one has blessed my life in so many ways, and continues to do so.  God created magnificent work when He created my best friends. 

To my roomies: I love you so much and I'm so glad to call you friends :)

If you know nothing else about me, you should know that I love this girl with all my heart!!  My little sister is my bestest friend, and I'm so grateful for her.  She's absolutely hilarious, and can make me laugh anywhere, anytime.  I call her Joy, because she brings great JOY to my life, and if you don't know her, you should, because she'll bring JOY to your life too!!

Love you, Joy :)

Abundant Giver

One thing I LOVE about scripture is that I can read the same passage over and over again and get something new out of it everytime. I've read the following passage multiple times, and have skipped over another awesome quality of God a number of times...until recently. In Matthew 14, Jesus' disciples came to him, weary, because they didn't have enough food to feed the crowd of 5,000. All they had were 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, but Jesus took the bread and broke it and provided enough food for all the people.

They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfulls of broken pieces that were left over." -Matthew 14:20

Wait! Did you catch that?! Not only did Jesus provide them with enough food to satisfy them, but there were LEFT OVERS! Amazing! God will always provide, and He won't just provide, but He will provide in ABUNDANCE! God is good!!

1 Corinthians 1:25

I LOVE this verse!!!!

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the WEAKNESS of God is STRONGER than man's strength. 1 Corinthians 1:25
