greater words.

today i choose to live in words greater than my flaws and failures.
i choose to live in these everlasting truths.

truth that i am  

chosen. 

truth that i am 

valuable.

truth that i 

matter.

truth that i am  

loved. 

truth that i am 

beautiful.

color my life with splendid beauty.
brighten my life with astounding truth.
splash my life with bubbly joy.

thank you for reminding me of the beauty that can still be found in my imperfections.
thank you for reminding me that your strength is perfect in my weaknesses.

thank you for reminding me that your love covers all. 

words

i read this poem today on someone else's blog. it's how i feel as of late.

Words

I love and hate

For they hold power over me
to encourage and to destroy
to bring greatest joy
and to give greatest hate
tugging me onto either podium
happiness or hatred
I have given words this value
by putting them on such a level
that they define and evaluate
too much, of what is my value

 

 

dear jesus, help me be defined in you. and in you alone. help me hear how you have named me, called me, chosen me. help me see my worth as you see me. may your voice be heard above the words and the lies that i give power to define me... i need your truth.

beautiful brokenness.

i've been listening to these two songs on repeat.

even in my clumsy, selfish, confusing life... he somehow finds a way to make it beautiful. to bring glory to his name. it's not about me. it's about him. it's always about him.


may my life, my words, my actions, be pleasing in your sight.
may i be a reflection of you in the earth.
may i be worthy of being called beautiful.

job, SURPRISE.

my God has a plan greater than mine.

i have a job.
a real. full-time. fun. J O B.

i'm growing up. 

a little more everyday.

i'm following His footsteps as best as my little feet can.
and discovering so much along the way.
....

:)

beauty in the unknown.

 this summer was always an 'unknown' from the very beginning & still continues to be. however, living in the 'unknown' has taught me things i never could have learned following a perfect plan. and thus, i am thankful for this season in my life.

i continue to wander around discovering truth, beauty, and love in the midst of all of this... i continue to explore and i continue to live an adventure.

delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
 

trust also in Him
rely on Him
and see where He will take you.

be still and rest in the Lord

wait patiently for Him.

job, maybe.

two interviews tomorrow.
going from nothing to more than one thing is a little exciting.
so many thoughts, but i pray for peace and wisdom 

and hope i get some sleep tonight.

here's to tomorrow.
and hopefully new beginnings.
