I have to ask myself.. am I desperate enough for change that I am willing to allow God to change me? Am I willing to give up complete control of myself so that others see Christ in me and not just me? Am I willing to discipline myself and crucify my flesh DAILY so that I can be TRULY led by His Holy Spirit and not by my fallen flesh? And last.. when the trials that WILL come from living this way arrive on my doorstep; will I run to the Lord, the One who is above all? Or will I melt in fear and be reduced to a doormat for the enemy to walk over?

Jesus, forgive my unbelief!!! Be my strength because without You I have none! Use me, as You have ordained, and help me to be humble and submitted to Your will for my life! THANK YOU for loving me with Your everlasting love and thank you that nothing I can do can make me deserve your love!! You give it freely! I love You so so much!! There are no words to describe the awesomeness of who You are and how much my spirit yearns for constant fellowship with You!!!

Bucket List

I am currently sitting at Caribou Coffee trying to study for my final exams. There are two girls sitting beside me on skype with one of their friends. They are speaking Spanish to each other. Very fluent Spanish I might add. Both girls are obviously Caucasian in ethnicity. I know I'm supposed to be studying but it got me to thinking about my life and how much I want to learn Spanish.

I so often think of things that I want to do with my life but then later I forget them, so that is why I have decided to write a bucket list of sorts. Not because I think I'm going to die soon or anything, but just because. We all die someday. The thing that really excites me about this is that I will most likely not even do half of the things I put on my list. As I grow and change my desires will change and maybe I'll add new things to the list and cross off old things that I don't want to do anymore. I know God will lead ...

Nothing worth doing is ever going to be easy. If you really want something you have to suck it up, put your nose to the grind, and just do it. Yeah, I know that was an overuse of cliches right there. :) This is something I am learning in more than one aspect of my life right now. I can't say it's the most fun lesson I have ever had to learn. :( In my relationship with the Lord, if I want further intimacy I have to push in deeper. Intimacy with the Lord doesn't just happen overnight. It's like in any relationship. Closeness takes time. The people you know the best are generally the ones you spend the most time with. It's the same with the Lord. I am also learning this with school. I really want to be a nurse. I knew going into it that nursing school was going to be difficult, but being told that doesn't exactly prepare you for when it happens. I have been sick the past few days and really not into the whole studying thing. It's hard to concentrate on so...

I did a photo shoot with my sister and one of her friends today. I don't claim to be a photographer by any means, but I wanted to practice so I can at least be decent. Here's a few of what I took. My sister is so photogenic so it made taking pictures of her much easier. =) Yay. =)
