Tonight I had my first experience driving in dense fog. I didn’t realize how hard it was until I was off of the busy lighted streets onto a long dark road. The road is about 5 miles long and it’s the most direct route to my little town. <!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 <![endif]--> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal,

Have you ever visited a random blog of someone you don't even know and left feeling as if you were now best friends just from reading their posts? Every once in awhile I will feel a connection with other blogger's because of their heartfelt words, interests or views. Today I experienced a feeling of deep, deep admiration.The blog is called pray for Ian. September 30, 2006 {now} twenty three year

My excitement rose when I walked into the building and saw the long line of people. I waited with my mom for about twenty minutes until we reached the room with voting booths. "You are number two hundred and seventeen, dear" an older woman with a gentle voice said as she handed me my ballot.If you are frustrated or just disinterested in this election and contemplating not voting today I want to

The stand on abortion for both of the main candidates in the upcoming election has been disappointing from a Christians point of view. Abortion seems to becoming less and less of a moral issue and more a political doorway. However, Christians cannot give up the fight for life.I was reading Carolyn McCulley's blog and came across her post entitled Abortion: The Strong Define the Rights of the Weak

Those who starve themselves from nutrients deceive their body into thinking they are unimportant. It's a slow fade. The one with a consistent diet but misses a day feels fierce hunger pains. It's a healthy reminder.He didn't come to temporarily satisfy but to fill. It may seem like a lot but this passage is worth reading and meditating on.

This post is dedicated to the faithful few who still visit my blog only to be let down by finding the same old posts.First of all thank you for still visiting me. :) God has been teaching me so much right now.

A couple weeks ago my family and my brother's two roommates went to see him graduate from boot camp to become a United States Marine. I was excited to see my brother, to see how much he has changed and talk to him again. But the fact that the location of his base was in California definitly added to the anticipation. We decided to drive which meant I got to go to twelve states that I have never

At the end of the day I love the feeling of checked of "to do's", and a night to store up energy for the next day. Through the eyes of a tired senior with much to do, plan, and learn it's beginning to look like this feeling of accomplishment will never return. I know that from now on life will just get more complex and I fear the compromise of goals. Quotes are good way for me to get excited

Jeremy camp has been a favorite artist of mine for awhile. I like his music because his songs describe one seeking God amongst a world that pulls in so many directions. His lyrics are powerful but they mean so much more when you know the life behind them.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...{1 Corinthians 13}I had the opportunity of spending Valentines Day

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase." 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 {more} I put the door key for the family van in my pocket while I was running a couple days ago.

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jer29:13I have been challenged with a lot of different things lately and there have been a couple big burdens on my heart. I didn't have classes today so I wanted to spend it with God by meditating, praying, reading, and also I was hoping to add a lot of writing in this lovely blog. But instead I had the opportunity of learning

"So let us go out to Him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace He bore. For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name."Hebrews 13:13-15 {nlt}I know I am cheating by not writing my own words but this is so much better than I could put together.

"Even though it's hard and difficult or could blow up in my face, I am still going to follow God because He is worth having" -Pastor Will {my pastor}This statement made by my pastor during the service yesterday really got my attention. I had to ask myself, do I live with this kind of surety that God is worth it? And how high of the cost of following Him is He worth to me? I would like to think He

I was going through a box containing books and notebooks that I haven't gone through since I moved more than half a year ago. The notebooks are filled with the passing feelings of a young girl and the books are only a few that have been given to me over the years. But amongst all the books and pages I found a red folder stuffed to its greatest capacity.I guessed its content and I was right to

"Being that I am unable to do anything without God's help, I do humbly entreat Him by His grace to enable me to keep these resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, For Christs sake."This is the beginning statement of a list of seventy resolutions made by Jonathan Edwards.

I have heard Psalm 23 so many times it is easy to skim over the words when reading it. So I decided to really pay attention to the words when I read it today in my time with God. It worked except I mostly got hung up on one simple phrase. It was, "The Lord is my Shepard; I have all I need." I read beyond that to more wonderful promises of a loving God but my mind kept going back to these few

"Life is not a Sprint, its a Marathon"My pastor quoted this during a message one Sunday and it has stuck in my mind ever sense.The idea is that life is not about just running well for 100 meters and then stopping, but to purpose to run well your whole life until it ends. Does this mean we can't stop when the run is hard and not enjoyable?Today I woke up to the sweet surprise of fresh snow
