Conviction.

It has been a while since I have wrote a blog post much like this one, so let's try this again.

Why is it that we feel convicted to do things? Why is it that when you see a homeless person on the street you hurt for them, and put yourself into their shoes? The way they must be cold and alone. Why is it when you hear of children going unfed for days, you feel hungry to feed them? And most importantly, why is that when you ask the Lord to "break your heart for what breaks His" He ACTUALLY DOES IT.

Okay, that last one might be redundant because you are asking to have your heart broken. I guess I mean as why do I feel so much when sometimes I don't want to feel at all? I have been struggling a lot with these feelings that I so do not want. But to be what I know the Lord wants of me I will deal with these unwanted feelings with the help a God who is Almighty and Sovereign.
The church that the Lord has blessed me with here in Saint Augustine has introduced me to this song. I find myself singing it often times. 
"And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours, and You are mine"

I am Yours, and You are mine. Wow, truer words have never been written. In world that is so lost we are comforted constantly. In a world where it is so easy to get caught up in things, we are convicted to continue on the path the Lord has laid out for us. Why is it that this world is so appealing to our human nature. Why is it that we want to be accepted by society so badly? 

I have a lot of questions today friends.

Life update.

Oops.. I keep putting off writing on here and I keep wanting to do it but I forget.. or something else comes in between. BUT I'm writing now so here we go!

Since my last post from July 4th weekend (yikes..it's been a long time) I have moved away from the town I grew up in and where my family and friends reside to a town 2 1/2 hours north called, Saint Augustine and I am attending the school of my dreams and I live in a dorm where I have roommates and suitemates and wow things have changed y'all.


Since moving to STA, I have:


  • gotten a car
  • saw mumford and sons, edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros, the vaccines, and more (GOTR festival!)
  • saw the lumineers!!
  • made new friends
  • been inspired beyond on words
  • started college classes
  • and i'm currently learning how to be on my own
I can't even describe to you how much has happened and how much i've grown in the 3 months i've been here.. I can't even imagine how much the Lord will teach me in the 4 YEARS i'll be spending here!

I need to make my own post about seeing mumford and sons.. I'll have to do that another day.

all photos from my fourth of july weekend. on the 4th i drove up to Madeira Beach with two really good friends, I stayed till the 7th. during those days we went to the beach, explored the little town of madeira and most importantly saw we the kings. i had the awesome opportunity of meeting 3/5 of the members, one of them being Charles Trippy who is CTFxC on YouTube.. and someone who I admire a lot. 
i had so much fun singing and dancing and just making a complete fool of myself on saturday.. definitely a weekend i will never forget.

growing up. and what comes along with it.

Friends, it's literally been forever since I've wrote to y'all. And since the last time we've spoke things have happened.


  • Concerts
  • Having a foreign exchange student move in
  • Prom
and
  • G R A D U A T I N G H I G H S C H O O L

Dude. That might seem like a short list, but trust me it was so much to handle. 2013 has literally been flying by considering tomorrow is the last day of May and it'll be officially June. I don't know where to begin. So instead I will share pictures. 











I can't even begin to explain how much I will miss high school. How much I will miss those hallways that I dreaded so much Monday mornings. How much I will miss hearing "Have a safe journey home" before the final bell. And how much I will miss seeing my best friends every day. 

As I have less than 2 months with some of my friends before we each go our separate ways or even some who are still in high school, I am learning to cherish each and every moment. Because sooner than I will expect it, it'll all just be a memory of the time I was in high school.

Valentines.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I'm definitely not one to be super lovey or i like to express my feelings all the times and valentines day is most DEFINITELY not one of my favorites. But this year something changed in me and I'm loving it. My sweet little pup Leo is turning 1 on Thursday and I am having friends over to bake, watch movies, and celebrate my pups little life.

This is Leo Messi in case you haven't seen him.
So anyway, I actually went out and bought little heart lanters for my room as well as the CUTEST Rifle Paper Co. Valentines cards for my sweet friends. I am so excited to give them out (actually I don't even want to do that because they're seriously the cutest). 

Life has been pretty crazy lately, Congres is exactly 3 weeks away (I blogged about last years Congres here), 2 months till I see Taylor Swift, oh! and I bought MUMFORD AND SONS TICKETS Y'ALL! I will be seeing my absolute favorite band in September in my utmost favorite city, SAINT AUGUSTINE! How this all came about is absolutely insane. I found out last week they were announcing their Gentlemen of the Road 2013 tour with a couple other awesome bands and one of the cities they chose this year is Saint Auggie! Not to mention this will be their FIRST time coming to Florida! I am so blessed to say I have tickets and that I will be attending with 2 of my best friends! It's going to be the best 2 days ever. 

Things have definitely been getting better since last year and I can already tell 2013 is going to be one of the best years I have yet to experience. 

In the mean time, I ask that you please pray for me while I am struggling through a class my senior year and as my senior year comes to an end. It's a scary thought but it's happening and soon enough I will be able to say that I am a high school graduate. Insane y'all.

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" // 1 Corinthians 13: 6-7

been a while.

oops sorry friends i get so caught up in everything i have to do i forget to breathe and write sometimes.

this year is going by so fast, i can't believe it's already february. most importantly i can't believe it's 2013. i feel like this is what most of my posts have been about but well..this is what my life is concentrating on!

so here is a list of things that will be happening in this new year:

  • Seeing Taylor Swift with two really great friends in April
  • My second and final year of competing in Congres in March
  • GRADUATING HIGHSCHOOL in May
  • Starting COLLEGE (!!!) in August
  • Moving to a new city
  • Going to p.r.o.m.
so that doesn't seem like a lot but i'm sure other things will come up along the way.

i am also going to post some things i have been loving lately, because well..why not:

and a bunch of other stuff i don't have pictures for. till next time!
