day by day.

"And though the waves might bring you
down and though the currents might pull you under,
the sky is always still right above you.
And your friends will show you the way."

i'm coming back to the heart of worship.

God is soo freaking amazing!

and even when i start to doubt that for a second,
He reminds me He has an amazing plan.
and sends amazing encouragement, family and friends my way.

i can't sleep.

i'm ready.
i'm willing.
i'm ready.
lead me.
i trust you.

i have faith.

it's funny.
what my plans for my future were..
and where God is taking me.
but you know what?
i'm along for the ride.
wherever you want me too go.
I WILL GO.
i'm excited, nervous, pumped, stoked, scared.
so many emotions running.
but most of all i'm willing and ready.
i will follow the path of where you want me.

you gotta know your loved.

"She spoke with strength and grace.
She said she's different now, doesn't buy "busy" as a way of life,
says she's learned to slow down,
to pause for the things that matter,
for people and moments and conversations."

"i don't know what else to say.
i just have to believe that we are all more loved than we'll ever know.
And we're all in this together."

love is real. love is here.

Don't settle for anything less than someone who loves you.
Don't love when you're lonely, love when you're ready.
Don't think that it happens all the time, either.
Love isn’t the small scene of romance you’re exposed to
as a teenager. It’s far different, far more real.
Real love is hard to come by, but it comes.
Maybe not for a while, but it shows up at some point.
All of us are loved, but sometimes that person you want
isn't in your life yet. Don't worry. They will be. Just stop waiting for it.

i'll always look out for you. and i will always love you.

you should never ignore someone’s pain
or act as if it doesn’t matter.
for no matter how small their worry is to you
and how simple to solve it may seem,
to them, it is a disaster. and we all want
someone to calm the storm, not tell us
it doesn’t exist.
