Oh, How He Loves..

This song is something i adore. It stays with me and every know and then i find it again & it reminds me of how beautiful God's Love is even when it's messy and hard, his love endures everything for us.

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these
Afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize how beautiful you are
And how great your afflictions for me

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yea He loves us
Oh how

We are his portion
And he is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meats earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart burns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yea He loves us
Oh how

I thought about you
The day Stephen died
And you met me between my breaking
I know that I still love you God
Despite the agony
See people they want to tell me your cruel
But if Stephen could sing
He'd say its not true
Cause your good

Amen.

A Little Reminder

This photo is very special to me.
Recently i just had the extreme privlidge to run a four day youth camp and on this camp we had a women's time. Four female leaders including me spent some time with our girls talking about how we are women of God and his image of us is very different than the one we see day to day in our lives.
In the middle of our time we took a chance to sit down together and write down all the things that god says and promises us as women of God. This is what we came up with.
Everytime i see this picture i'm inspired by what it means and am reminded that God not only loves me but he promises me eternity in that love.

Why i am now part of the majority..

Blogs, they've kind of been an amazing thing to me for the last couple years.
one of my closet friends started a blog after he decided to change his life ( check it out it's http://www.radicalchange2010.com/ ) and it's been really reflective and sometimes too convicting.


Then i started reading more blogs.. bit of a distraction but an amazing way of learning and getting to know that my struggles weren't alone, other people had the same problems they wanted to share about ways of changing.  


This blog might end up being (and by might probably a lot of the time) a way for me to rant but if it can help one person in the way some blogs have changed my life then it's gonna be worth it. 
I hope you enjoy reading it, or at least get a laugh or two out of it. 


God Bless,
