This is the end (if you want it)

Instead of trying to find some witty or eloquent way to say what the title already says,
I'll just say it plainly.

This is my last post forever....
in this blog.

I feel as if I have out grown this blog. So many of the posts are feelings, emotions and perspectives that have long passed.

Since coming home from two years of Bible school I feel like I finally have more time to write again, thus I have created a new blog to fill with new thoughts and new reflects and new poetry, which I am rather excited for.

So if anyone still reads... feel free to follow my new blog at:

I created it with the intention of writing more to improve my writing, but also to glorify God in what I write.

So, as a phenom musician once sang... This is the end, if you want it!

Dios te bendiga! (God bless you!)

I will rest in You

You are my constant.

When I'm uncertain of what the future will bring,
and am weary of everything,
I will rest in You.

You are my constant.

In the midst of searing pain
that is enough to maim,
I will rest in You.
You are my constant.
When I don't understand
and can't fathom Your plan,
I will rest in You.
You are my constant.
When your uncontainable joy fills me,
and I know you have set me free,
I will rest in You.

YOU ARE MY CONSTANT.

God Provides, Even in the Small Things!

I had a hair appt today at 10:00am and I had to walk because my parents are out of town. I ended up leaving later than I had planned and knew I would be late, as this was going to be about a half hour walk. So as I was walking, I decided to pray. I prayed that God would get me there on time, somehow.
I kept walking, and praying and then 10:00 rolled around and I accepted the fact that I was going to be late. And then, God answered my prayer.
Kayla drove by, saw me, picked me up and took me to the salon. I was so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to God!

I wanted to share this to encourage you, the reader, that God does provide and he does answer prayers!! Nothing we face is too small or insignificant that we can't bring it before our loving Father.

Ending is Beginning

There are so many things coming up to be excited about! Grad, Phao concert, chillin with camp friends, working at camp, and then COSTA RICA! But I don't want to get caught up in the activities and get distracted from God and what he has for me. I don't want to slip into complacency... again, which I am so prone to do. I want to live intentionally, for him, every day; to deny myself and carry my cross daily. So you who are reading this are my witness. Keep me accountable, encourage me, rebuke me, and most of all pray for me. I can and will do the same for me, just send me a message, or have a chat with me. That's what community is, looking out for each other while being unified in Christ.

Colossians 3:12-17
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I know what happens next

It's the same, always the same:
Common ground, friendship bound.
Things are great, as of late.
Then small progressions, until a near confession.
And here's the part I know the best, I run away, too scared to invest.
Impenetrable walls, incredibly tall.
That's where I'll hide, far, far from your side.
