I have decided that...

I will waste my life.  I will be tested and tried.  With nothing else inside of me, just to find I'm at Your feet.

The End.

The Faithful Bridegroom

I am overwhelmed...  Have you ever heard a core advisor, college student, intern, parent, or anyone say that?

But, surprisingly it's not that I am overwhelmed with my life-although that has happened way too often to acknowledge.

I am overtaken with the love of God ...  I am hedged in.  I am captured by Who He is.  No one could ever move this heart like Jesus Christ.  Your love will not let me go!  Thank You for pursuing me. 

I can be so blind to Him.  Forgive my fleshly sight I so easily use.

Ephesians 3:16-19

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (NIV)

Here are some pics of my core/family core. 

War paint for the brother's basketball game:

Above is our core day together.  It was extremely windy.  We decided to have a pinata and do some limbo.

Xanga Died

Xanga is pretty much dead.  That's what I think.

I just can't understand, this work of grace, how a perfect God would come and take my place.

The mountains in their splendor cannot steal Your heart.
