Like an Avalanche

God is funny, he is good, and in Control. He has his Best for Me. He has really great plans for my life. I will not be forgotten or left behind. He wants my dreams to come true more than I do. I will have Grace where God wants me to be. He has prepared me and I will obey.

On this roller coaster of decisions I will embrace and hold on to Jesus.






Beautiful God
Laying Your majesty aside
You reached out in love to show me life
Lifted from darkness into light
Oh
Verse 2
King for a slave
Trading Your righteousness for shame
Despite all my pride and foolish ways
Caught in Your infinite embrace
Oh
Chorus 1
And I find myself here on my knees again
Caught up in grace like an avalanche
Nothing compares to this love love love
Burning in my heart

Saviour and Friend
Breathing Your life into my heart
Your word is the lamp unto my path
Forever I'm humbled by Your love
Oh
Bridge
Take my life
Take all that I am
With all that I am I will love You
Take my heart
Take all that I have
Jesus how I adore You
Chorus 2
And I find myself here on my knees again
Caught up in grace like an avalanche
Nothing compare to this love love love

The Forgotten Ones

These two are so deprived of love and attention now. Everytime I go over to the Smith's they try to have some snuggle time on the couch. They have to be on someone's lap while on the couch, most of the time that doesn't bother them.

On Friday I bought my first pair of TOMS. Reminder: NEVER SAY NEVER....I thought I learned this by now. I told myself when TOMs first came out I would never buy a pair. Then, the Spring 2011 were way to cute to pass up. I bought the silver glitter TOMS. So far I'm a fan

Love, where is your fire?

Impostors have been passing, offered a good-feeling glow
But I'm holding out for what you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone
Some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do

Engagment Party...not mine

This past weekend I planned my first engagement. The Precious couple is, Adam & Emily, who I went through elevate with. Emily was in my admin track and discipleship group. Through the Elevate year we, as students, fast a year of dating, so as soon as we "graduated" these two went on a date.

This relationship is centered in Jesus and I'm honored they let me be a part of it.


I made the encouragement board with twine and an old window. This made me realize even more how much I love planning party, and I pray one day I can do it everyday!

Wild Love

I love how Jesus's love for his children is wild and untamed. He loves without any fear. this morning while I spent time with him I saw a picture of wildflowers. They were blue, pink, white, & yellow. Each flower was beautiful and looked cared for. There wasn't one flower dying, but all were full of life.

His love is a safe place for his children to be. The fragrance of his Presence is better than any flower. I hope you experience the wild love of your Maker today.
