God-breathed.

cold mornings- not my favorite, especially when having to walk to class.
but a beautiful piece of imagery was pointed out to me that makes the morning walk a little sweeter...

2 Timothy 3:16-17 speaks about God's word being "God-breathed". what a beautiful picture this is.. God breathing his words into a book for us.
Now every time i catch a glimpse of my breath while walking on a cold morning, i can't help but picture our GOD breathing his words to us! how often i forget that He is not a God that created me and then moved on, but he is a God that desires me. He longs for me to long for him.

"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him." 2 Chronicles 16:9


"we have been blessed, why? to be a blessing to others..."
-the fuel and the flame

he paints the sky for me to see..

"Praise the Lord, when your hope is gone

Everything fades but our love shines on

Like waves on the ocean singing old songs

Like waves on the ocean breaking beyond

So faint the impatient can’t hear

The sound of the one without years

The culmination of every child’s tears

Form tide breaking on the eternal lands

Time stands still

In the moment when we are healed"

josh garrels has been the soundtrack to my life recently. his music is incredible, if you have never heard it.. listen now!
simplicity is the most beautiful and one of the most difficult things to accomplish. oh, to give up the things of this world.

i took that picture on my way back to school this weekend. God provided me entertainment for my drive home with a breath taking sunset.

"let my body find peace and let my mind be free"

bear with me, i am new at this.
since i have recently deleted my facebook (due to realizing something so petty was stealing my attention and time away from my creator and the fact that i was straight up wasting my time), i have decided that something like a blog would be interesting to keep up with. so here it goes..

recently i have felt so discontent with.. well, life. for some reason, i just can't get my head around the idea that i need to be spending 4 years preparing to be out in the world. i feel as though i am wasting my life at college. don't get me wrong, i'm having a BLAST. i am just longing to be in another culture, away from such a materialistic america. but today, i felt a peace over me. i think the Lord has finally given me some peace about the situation. i know that my discontentment only shows my lack of faith that God is in control. so i guess i will just sit back and enjoy this life that i have been handed, all the while striving to life fully for Him.
