I realized something as I was jogging. I care too much about myself. I do what satisfies
me daily, I do what kills me daily because I think it’s worthy of my time. I do what I love for my own self-satisfaction. I watch tv to keep myself entertained, I listen to music for the same reason or to find an emotional stabilizer or destabilizer morelike.I spend time a couple hours sometimes getting...
“I will never leave you, nor forsake you”
– Hebrews 13:5, I stumbled upon this a couple hours after I wrote the previous paragraph below! Oh , God! YOU ARE SO AMAZING!
you do breathe differently
Jesus
You are faithful and continue to bless my life in impossible ways.Impossible knows of you and how you always provide no matter how harsh the circumstance. Fill me, I want to accomplish the impossible through you. You’re the realest thing I know ironically. Don’t ever leave me, don’t let me leave you. Forsake me when you need to, feel me when you need to but please don’t...
“Ask God to provide, EXPECT God to provide”
– Rika
happy birthday, jesus!
I am nothing without god, all the crazy amounts of love and blessings are because of him. Ahhhhhhhhh :) life before is nothing compared to now. Whoever knew that this is the life I’ve been called to lead. Whoever knew it would be this beautiful.
i’m far from perfection but i’ve found true
purpose and that is really all you need
“To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be...”

you know that we were not meant to be like this, we were not meant to be scared; to live life in absolute passivity. we hunger, we cry, we pray, we live, but do we do anything? does action involve anything? it only involves courage. initative. love. this world needs love more than fruit need trees. more than children need parents, more than crafts need makers. and Jesus is the source. we were...
“Step forward”

dad: if you need anything, just holla

gave my testimony, felt beyond surreal. if you were some time traveling person and you told me a year ago that if i’d be sharing my experiences with 200 people on how god changed me, i would be terrified just thinking about it or i’d ask you, “i probably tripped over a cord or nothing is more accurate, right? “ NEITHER, baby. neither. GOD SAVES all the time.
i feel like the luckiest girl in the world :)
the purpose of our world is to be united under one. aren’t we all supposed to get along? am i being naive to you? am i thinking the impossible? or are we just so stuck in our negativity that good seems so unreachable? i really don’t know, only you do. so what if there are wars going on, it happens. so what if there are kids dying everyday? have you ever thought about what if this is...
ramiro: what is the purpose of your life?

– -Bertrand Russell it’s not about being certain about everything, but emphasizing what you do know
I surrender
You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go -“chicago” sufjan stevens
“Faith is not faith until it is the
only thing you are holding on to.”
I don’t really believe in religion or nonsense rigidity. I believe in love. God is love and much more. I don’t look down on people who smoke and drink, I just don’t think it’s a healthy lifestyle. I took health in high school, hey mrs. gillis! I don’t think having tattoos are a “sin”, I just don’t really understand the point of painting your skin...
danielle and i decided to go in front of shields again and sing songs glorifying our great and mighty saviour. the friendliest gesture i received was a nod. i really don’t think this is what davis is meant to be like, or the world more like. some people couldn’t even look me in the eye. i feel like this is a battle i’m fighting alone sometimes. we did meet an amazing person that...
don’t give up.
a few people have changed their perspective of me because of what I believe in, and honestly, it really doesn’t bother me. i expect it. it’s a part of the plan.
“God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house… God is in...”
– -BONO! my hero
“life will be seen and that is a promise I have made to you”
i want to make love a priority in my life
my mom wrote me this acrostic! she's so cute!
Loved by God and Under the Holy Spirit Zooms and Zooms through the Gospel to Enjoy fellowship with God, and like Job In her flesh she will see God.
i can’t stress this enough. we’re scared. we’re scared. we’re scared. we’re scared. we’re scared. we can’t be anymore. this world’s too fallen to let that also get to us.
“you are faithful but of little faith”
don’t be afraid, you don’t have to be perfect to love jesus just thought you should know
we went outside the shields library around 3ish and asked people if they wanted prayer for anything until i had to go to class. honestly, had to be one of the best hours of my life. many were confused as to why we wanted to pray for them. like this one girl asked confusingly, “so this isn’t a christian club thing, you’re just nice people wanting to pray for people?” it...
abraham: most people don't do the things you guys are doing right now...and that's good.
“For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a...”

beyond amazing things that have recently happened: 1. I felt like God telling me to pray for someone who knew someone who had a tumor and was struggling with family problems. oh, and that that person would come to me. Guess what? Anna wanted to borrow my cellphone, and her grandfather recently died from a brain tumor, and eversince then her family has been torn apart because her grandpa was the...
so danielle and I have been having all sorts of amazing experiences lately. throughout these couple of days when we’ve been laying it all on the line for god, life has been happening. god has been moving through my life and just showing me his heart and what exactly he wants me to do. my life’s purpose is finally unfolding. it’s sooooooo uncontainable! AH! OKAY, guess who I saw...
