What's it Gonna Take?
You owe someone money. Lots of it. In fact, it’s so much money that they’re out to kill you because you’re unable to pay them back. The last few seconds before they pull the trigger with the gun up against your skull. You’re sweating profusely and your heart is pounding, questioning how you managed to sink this far into a pit of hopelessness.
God, WHERE ARE YOU? You...

She Don't Know She's Beautiful
Society has a messed up view of beauty. It’s kind of making me mad… because it’s been getting to me lately. Women naturally struggle with comparing themselves to each other. It often starts at a young age… I remember some of my friends telling me about how when they were younger they’d stand in front of mirrors and compare body shapes…. at very young ages. It...

More Than a Plane Ride
It’s been a while. A lot has happend. Finals are over, Christmas is over…. my next big focus is something that I’m trying to not let stress me out.
Those of you who know me know that my heart does not belong here, but in missions. I feel called to give my life to missions and serve the Lord in that way. My passion is working with children….. I’ve always kind of said...
Made Me Glad.
I will bless the Lord forever And I will trust Him at all times He has delivered me from all fear And he has set my feet upon a rock And I will not be moved And I’ll say of the Lord…. You are my shield My strength My portion Deliverer My shelter Strong tower My very present help in time of need Whom have I in Heaven but you? There’s none I desire beside you You have...

How to Handle Temptation
by Joyce Meyer
Temptation, or giving in to temptation, has been a serious problem since the beginning of time and is still a very real part of our lives today. Like it or not, we all have to deal with it. Most people may not really understand temptation and its purpose. In Luke 17:1, Jesus said, …Temptations (snares, traps set to entice to sin) are sure to...

Growing Pains
Something just hit me. WHAM. I’ve been asking God lately why I’ve been going through so much pain these last few weeks. I’m seeking His will. I’m spending more time with Him NOW more than I ever have. So I’ve been confused as to why I’m still experiencing pain. It’s not a pain from my own sin or lack of relationship with God. It’s a pain from the...

From Before Time Began
God has been God before time even existed. He doesn’t need us. God is God, no matter where I am, & what I’m going through. He is always sitting on the throne of my heart. I have to trust in Him… even when it gets hard. Even when I feel alone. Good times & bad… HE IS GOD… I am not.
Oftentimes, we find ourselves longing for control. We try to manipulate,...

I Saw the Light
One year ago TODAY (10/13/2010), I CHOSE FREEDOM. I walked into the light. I walked into MERCY. I had no hope for my future. I was a lost and broken girl. I was hurt. I was confused. But, God is bigger. God’s plans were bigger. For seventeen years I tried doing it on my own. I had my “salvation.” But the prayer of salvation that I prayed at such a young age was merely words. It...

Must Be Doin Something Right
Dating isn’t a game. I used to think it was. As I grow more & more in Christ, I learn what it is and what it is not. I used to think it was something just to do for fun, just to have a good time. I’m not sure why I’m writing this…. but tonight I’ve just been thinking.
I never thought I could have a relationship because of my past with guys…. but I was...

I pray that we be wise.
I pray that we be patient.
I pray that we be steady.
I pray that we wait.
I pray for the guidance that only comes from having a foundation in Christ.
I pray that as we explore life in what God has for us together that I may know deeper of His love because of you.
I pray that you may love me as Christ loved the Church.

Living on a Prayer
God has been doing incredible things since I’ve arrived on the campus of Campbellsville University. I’ve been blessed with amazing, uplifting, Christian friends who I can really trust and talk to about anything! Classes are going swimmingly (heehee…funny word..) and I definitely know that this is the right school for me. :)
I had another dream last night… didn’t...

We Long for Light but Sink into Darkness
“There’s nothing wrong with God; the wrong is in you.
Your wrongheaded lives caused the split between you and God.
Your sins got between you so that he doesn’t hear.
Your hands are drenched in blood, your fingers dripping with guilt,
Your lips smeared with lies, your tongue swollen from muttering obscenities.
No one speaks up for the right, no one deals fairly....

Stronger than the Waves
Hello, dear people :) I’ve been on vacation…. dying to blog but I didn’t have WiFi! So I have some catching up to do.
I guess I’ll start with this… I had another dream. This dream was me leading worship again. It was with my youth group this time… and well, I don’t know. I would started playing and singing a song and nobody would pay attention at all....

Invading All My Weakness...
Have you ever had one of those dreams, where you just woke up and knew it was from God? Those are my favorite dreams :) What’s an even better feeling is thinking that only one part is applicable to your life until you really start digesting your dream and it’s entirety. Then you realize that every aspect of your dream is there for a reason. It’s so cool!! THE BEST part, is...

Adjust the Focus.
Take a look, it’s worth your time.
Tonight I was feeling low. I felt distant from everyone, especially God. Thanks to the help of a good friend just being there to listen and give Godly advice, I put on my worship music and started looking up lyrics. My revelation didn’t have anything to do with any particular song that I was listening to, but when you draw near to God… He draws near to You and...

Place Your Life Before God
“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life— your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life— and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your...

Six Days to Freedom
“Six Days to Freedom” … at least that’s what I used to think. I will be eighteen years old in SIX days. It amazes me to think that I started this blog when I was 16 and now it’s almost two years later! I have walked into the light over the last 7 months or so. Looking back, wow. I almost wish you all could see the way my mind used to operate. I lived in depression and...

Hearing the Voice of God
SO, I was thinking on my way home tonight about what to blog about…. and I had no clue. I was driving on these back-woods curvy roads, rocking out to my worship music when God started talking with me. If I had to sum up our conversation, it would go something like this (keep in mind that I’m driving, at night, and this is over like a 20 minutes time span) :
God:...
Things you should know about me....
I’ve been thinking about my blog and what to write about… and I get asked a LOT of questions about my life on a day to day basis. Because of this, this particular blog entry will be entirely devoted to things you should know about me… that is, if you care about being a part of my life. :)
1) I’m not where I need to be, but THANK GOD I’m not where I used to be. I...

CHANGE
With New Years approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to blog about change. Besides the Ball dropping in NYC, the most common characteristic partnered with New Years is change via New Years resolutions. Dictionary.com defines CHANGE in 38 different ways. Here’s the Jordan summed-up version of all of the definitions given:
CHANGE- to become different, altered, modified, transformed,...
God's Spoken Words
I’ve had the privilege of living at Mercy Ministries for the last few months; a place designed to help you work out the junk in your life and turn you around for God. It’s AWESOME.
We had a small team of prophets come and minister to us in the last week of November, so I figured I’d share the prophecy that was spoken over me. If any of you have questions about prophecy or Mercy...

is there a name for reverse-senioritis?
OKAY! I didn’t forget my password, like I thought I would…but I forgot the website. Good thing that facebook has a nifty little link to this place, or else ya’ll (assuming that more than one person is reading this..) would’ve been left in the dust!
I’m limited on time, but I don’t think it’ll be a problem. I’m allowing myself 45 minutes to write...

did I snooze... or just forget to set my alarm?
Hello, dears. Thank you to everyone reading my first post, I’ve had a lot of feedback personally from it. :D Anyways, I’m pretty tired, and today was rather uneventful. The most exciting part of my day was probably waking up— or should I say getting woke up? I was EXHAUSTED last night, even during the writing of my first blog. Apparently, I was so worn out that I forgot to set my...
road blocks and big orange cones
Since this is my first post and all, I figure I should say a little something; a “disclaimer” so to speak. No worries to anyone reading this, because I hope that you find my words only to be a positive influence on you. I am sixteen years old, and I am awful with commitment on blogging, and well… anything that is to be a habitual, ongoing action. I will probably do good for a...
