one moment...

For just a moment, I wish things would slow down.

When someone asks me, "What's new?" I want to be able to say, "Nothing really."

Not for eternity--just a moment.

My heart can only take so much, and my mind can only convince myself that I'm strong enough for so long.

My God, who is mighty to save.
My God, who is my strength.
My God, who is my comfort.
My God, who is my hope.
My God, who brings me peace.
My God, who has proven himself faithful.
My God, who has redeemed me from the depths.
My God, who has healed me time and time again.
My God, who has blessed me.
My God, who has pursued me.
My God, who conquers evil.
My God, who loves.
My God, who delivers.
My God, who grants freedom.
My God, who created me.

My God, set me free.

He is faithful...

God is proving Himself faithful to me.

I moved to Dallas. I found an affordable apartment in a great area filled with activity and people.

I found a great church dedicated to loving others with the love of Christ.
I found great people within that church that play Ultimate regularly (thank you, Jesus!).
I found a great community group of women that seem incredible.

I have a fantastic job with fantastic co-workers that serve people in a fantastic way.

God is so good to me...especially in a season of my life that has been plagued with disappointment, change, and pain.

In only a week, He has proven Himself faithful to His daughter, and I am so grateful.

out with the old...

Okay, kiddos. No more sad, sappy posts.

That season is over--a new season is beginning.

Positivity is replacing heartache, and it's time to move on.

Come on, Dallas. Show me what you're made of.

hope..

I'm moving to Dallas.

Life is crazy. It moves at rocket speed and is always changing.
I've never experienced something so real and raw as the past few months.

For the past 6 years, God has not allowed me to become comfortable anywhere before he has uprooted me.

I know this is a growing experience, and I know in 5 years, I'll look back on this and say, "WOW!" in reference to God's faithfulness in my life. Right now, though, I'm so confused.

I feel like I've been drafted for war. I'm leaving home. I'm leaving a place I am in LOVE with; I'm leaving people I love. But when I really think about it, this isn't home. This is fun. This is safe, but it's not home.

And Dallas--Dallas. Dallas is foreign to me. And the only thing recognizable is heartache. I'm standing on the edge of a dangerous fire, and it is up to me to make decisions that are healthy, smart, and God-centered.

But I'm weak--and He is strong. In two days, I need to be fully dependent on my Savior to rescue me and deliver me into what will be my home.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand.

...all other ground is sinking sand.

love wins...

I'm only a little sad.
I'm trying not to be angry.

But hopeful, strong, positive, and healthy seem to be more fitting today.

There is hope in love.
And I am living in anticipation of what is to come.

In one week, I will set off on a new adventure.

Life has just begun...and love will win this race.
