So, I turned 17 on Saturday.
For some reason that has become something that is extremely odd for me to try to grasp. 17 is still young, it’s terribly young, but yet it shocks me that a whole year has passed again. And honestly, this was quite a year.
Yesterday morning at Church my friend Jess came [...]

Empty Handed & Offended

I kept saying that I was going to write about the missions trip that I was on in Tennessee June 16th-21st. I finally am; & I’m kind of eager to… but I want to share one story in particular.
Our second day on the missions trip my Youth Group & the adults who came along split [...]
Isolation & Desperation

So, I’ve never thought my life as one to be blogworthy… but I still didn’t think that’d lead to me not writing for over 2 months! I’ve had countless people come up to me during the weeks and ask, “have you just stopped writing or what?” and I’ve had people leave comments on here asking [...]
A Man’s Thoughts…

Today I saw and talked with a man that I greatly respect; Nazih. I’ve known him since I was born and have loved my times of talking with him ever since. He’s in his early 60’s and his opinions on things have always left me wondering about my own. This 60 year old man who [...]
Simply Good

Today is simply GOOD. I’m sitting in my room looking out the window. The shining sun is creating shadows of twigs from bushes dancing across my drawn curtains. The grass outside is actually beginning to turn green; the brown “grass” is finally being covered. Signs of Spring my friends! And Bethany Dillon is [...]
Something foriegn

I haven’t written in a month. How I did it, I don’t know. Why I did it, simply because I didn’t want to write about the struggles and valleys that I faced during the past month. I don’t think I’ve ever grown or struggled so much in such a short amount of time.
To sum [...]

*First of all, if you haven’t read my lastest posts “Losing Sleep and Other things Part I and II” please do that… and then come back to this one. *grin*
I woke up this morning at 7:30 after re-setting the alarm 2 or 3 times after it first went off at 6:45. Last night when I [...]
A glimpse of the Kingdom…

It’s roughly 9am in the morning and I’m sitting here in my pajamas… I’m surrounded by nothing but the stillness that came with this morning and the sweet sound of Shawn McDonald.
I woke up this morning at 6:30 to seeing a sky full of different shades of morning blues, glistening snow on rooftops and morning [...]
Change….

It’s November and I was hoping that was enough of a reason for me to write… but it’s not. But, I’m writing anyway…
I’m sitting in a room with the humming of the fan and the sound of Bethany Dillon filling these ears. It always seems that way. The humming of the fan and music flowing [...]
A Waste…

I woke up around 6 this morning to find fog outside. And hours later I was looking out the window to still see patches of fog and air that looked misty, with the sun’s rising beams beneath the roofs of houses across the street. And for some reason, I’ve loved that this morning. Its made [...]
