change

change
1. to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone


in this season, i am ready for change. i want to walk in a deeper level of faith and i want to fully trust God with the dreams that are in my heart. i have been so comfortable with my job, as mundane and lacking in passion as it may be, it has been a comfort. honestly, even to the point that if i heard Him say "Go!", i might hesitate or fear stepping out.

but i want to go. i want to see the world through His eyes. i want to dream massive dreams that, without Him, would be impossible to reach.

sarah - princess

Photobucket
my sister sarah is one of the most amazing people i know...

she is a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and a faithful friend. she's only fifteen months older, but in a lot of ways i've always looked up to her.

she's the middle child, in between my brother and myself. growing up, my mom was a single mom and sarah started going to church with her so she wouldn't have to go by herself.

God captured sarah's heart and i know so many lives have been changed through His love in her...

i know my life has changed...

i love you S!

How He Loves

i was in charlotte, NC last week visiting some of the most beautiful people i know. while i was there, a friend of mine told me about the song "How He Loves" by john mark mcmillan and the story behind it.

it's raw. it's pure. it's truth.

i wanted to post these videos cos this song has blessed me huge.

new music.

to me, there is nothing like an open road and a great soundtrack to go along for the journey.

i get so excited when i discover a new artist for the first time. i usually end up playing them over and over...and over again, until i stumble upon someone new or until i re-discover music i already have.

so, i thought it would be exciting to post about a different artist each week. maybe even introduce you, in whatever corner of the world you are in, to someone you might never have heard before!

to get this started, a great artist who is on my current playlist, who i was actually first introduced to by my sister, is the "indie folk-rock band" HEM

their tunes are peaceful and full of soul! Check 'em out!

i heart spring

I absolutely love Spring! It has to be my favorite season. To me, everything is beautiful this time of year. Whether rain or shine, and I love it when the trees are full again.

Hosea 6:3
"Let's do our best to know the LORD. His coming is as certain as the morning sun; he will refresh us like rain renewing the earth in the springtime."
