MY community

These are just some of the girls that make up my community. They are my life and i am so grateful for them in ridiculous amounts. Kinda exciting when every time I see one of them I realize Gods little blessings and how much of a freaking HUGE impact they make on my life.

overflow.

"overflow" has been a concept I have struggled with for a few months now. I remember singing a song in church saying, "he loves to come and fill me up, he loves to overflow my cup, he loves to come and bring his love to my heart". weird right? putting our relationship with God in the perspective that he satisfies and fills us is unbelievable. this love that we so easily receive, is meant to overflow in to the lives of the people around us. People i get so irritated with, the ones that make me smile, and those who are just there in our lives deserve our our love that fills us cause we definitely don't deserve it. Rather than embracing the fact that we are filled by the holy spirit, overflow it into those people and see Gods love work in them. overflow.

 Moses said, "I'm standing here surrounded by 600,000 men on foot and you say, 'I'll give them meat, meat every day for a month.' So where's it coming from? Even if all the flocks and herds were butchered, would that be enough? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough?"
God answered Moses, "So, do you think I can't take care of you? You'll see soon enough whether what I say happens for you or not."

For me, its really easy just to stick with the new testament... having this mind set that the old testment is just boring history that we hear every week at church.. but honestly, hearing this changed my perspective. freshmen year we focused on new testament and all of the history that went along with that, but renewing my perspecitive of that and replacing it with a sense of application, makes me encouraged to read it more often.

This passage is basically God telling moses " are you freaking kidding me, you think that I cant take care of you." haha obviously this is discussing his power to give them the meat they want, but to be honest I question God of a lot of things that I shouldnt. Moses, a strong follower of Christ, was doubting him and his abilities to feed them, do you find yourself guilty of that too? Everyday finding myself unwilling or incapable to get through something or conquer even the little things all lead back to this passage; therefore, confirming Gods capabilities.

incredible love.

"in my love"- phil wickham

I have looked you in the eyes
I have seen the tears you cried
I have heard you question why you are here
There is a reason, there’s a plan
There is a God Who understands
He’s got your life inside His hands
Have no fear
Cuz He says
In all your hurt and in all your pain
I’ll never leave, I won’t forsake
You’re my child and I’m your God
Come and rest in my love
I know this road is deep
And I know you’re tired and weak
But the God of perfect peace is right here
He is the shelter from the storm
He is the rock forth and secure
He is hope forever more
Have no fear
Cuz He says
In all your hurt and in all your pain
I’ll never leave, I won’t forsake
You’re my child and I’m your God
Come and rest in my love
When everything seems out of control
I’m holding on, I won’t let go
You’re my child and I’m your God
Come and rest in my love
There is hope tonight
There is everlasting life
Dry away your tears
Coz tomorrow is on the rise
Love will never fail
He will never fail


this song gives me hope-- not only in God and his omnipotent power in our lives, but hope in the fact that I wont be alone. God understands, he forgives, and he wont let go and i think a lot of times that is hard for me to personally grasp. realizing that through situations that seem the most impossible, God is always there,  is incredible---unreal yet indescribable.

bold people

boldness is something I strive for in my faith... but i dont know, people like this inspire me to be even bolder.
