there's a hunger for more and more..



do you ever start reading something - a book, a blog post, newspaper article.. and before you know it, you're cOmpletely blown out of your pants because of how hard it hits you at the very core of your being?! most days i feel like i just can't sit still.

the thing that keeps running through my mind as i read is this: if we call ourselves christians and we truly believe the bible to be true and the life of jesus to be the life we live to reflect, how should things be different?? i can't say that i'm completely there but i'm learning sO much.. and it's exciting and crazy and slightly unsettling (read mark 13) and super amazing. most of the time i'm not sure how to process all this or even what to think so i just start scribbling stuff down in my journal.. but i continue to pray that god moves me. not just within in me, but to let it cause a ripple effect around me. how humbling it is to experience the power of christ and yet to allow that strength to empower us to move in his kingdom for his glory. ahh freaking amazing.

youtube spotlight on music tuesday

wow. at 16 years old this guy knows exactly what he wants.
There's a dream that I've been chasing
Want so badly for it to be reality
And when you hold my hand then I understand
That it's meant to be

'Cause this life's too long
And this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure
That I'll never let you go
when i was 16 i wasn't allowed to talk to boys.
..and now i'm turning 25 and the story hasn't changed much ^_< size="2">..more thought-provoking and insightful post to follow.

it's gonna be a good day.


be strong in the lord and in the strength of his might.
ephesians 6:10

could be from
fresh brewed coffee with vanilla syrup..
streaming music on pandora..
pick up lines in espanol..
or gvchat with friends and brother..

but mostly, i think it's just god.
when i think of these things, i feel like there's nO reason to not smile.

maybe life's totally good for you right now. god has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with god. ~francis chan

i pray that i never get too comfortable with where i am and that i am truly humble in spirit. bUt.. i believe that god also wants us to delight in the things he's given us. good or bad, right? so why be ashamed that you are completely and utterly in awe of him and the things he's given you today?!

what makes you happy?? :D

INFP


hungry i come to you for i know you satisfy
i am empty but i know your love does not run dry
so i wait for you
so i wait for you

i'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
jesus you're all this heart is living for

broken i run to you for your arms are open wide
i am weary but i know your touch restores my life
so i wait for you
so i wait for you

learning a lot about myself.. i only pray that i see my value through his eyes and nothing else.

beautiful day :D


There is no height or depth
Neither life nor death
That can take me from all that I find
Here now in Your Glory Lord

No other powers or love
The things of now or to come
There's nothing on earth in this life
That could ever separate us Lord

Your Love is never ending
To your hands we surrender
Where all our sins are washed away
Your Grace beyond reason
Has paid for our freedom
We're made alive in You

We run to Your Throne
Where we belong
Every heart will sing
That Jesus is Lord
Casting all else aside
For the joy of our Christ
Let Your Glory fall
Our hearts are filled with Your Fire

i am so undeserving. when i think of all the things i have, there is no suitable response except complete humility.

because when i was not even born, christ died for me.
when i am weakest, he is strongest.
when i am down, he is my eternal joy.
when i empty, he is full of truth, grace and mercy.
when i cannot stand, he is my rock.
when i cannot love, he reminds me of the perfect sacrifice.

cuz things are a tiny bit harder than i expected..



當你孤單的時候 不要氣餒
當你在十字路口
不要徘徊
當你難過的時候 擦乾淚水
當失望的時候
不要放棄 不要放棄

張大眼睛看 神要開路啦
打開心胸吧 神要擴張啦

緊緊抓住祂 就會有希望
所以不要放棄 不要放棄
不要放棄啊
