"We can’t jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can’t take skinny dips in the ocean, because there’s no service on the beach and adventures aren’t real unless they’re on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we’re helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in, and hashtag."

Look at these mousse like cheesecakes(?) with stuffed centers! :O

The first one looks like a berries cheesecake, then Tiramisu cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, and I’m not sure about the last! (click the link for more pics)

"The LORD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him."

Exodus 15:2 (NKJV)

"If you want your children to love Jesus deeply, hold out for a man that is Godly. And let me tell you this: I am well aware that Godly men are rare. Lots of neat Christian boys, not a lot of Godly men. And we’re working our tails off for you to try to develop some into that. But don’t settle, because it’s better that you be lonely now than you be married and lonely later. Are you tracking with me? It is better that you be lonely now than for you to get married to a man that will teach your kids everything but the way of Jesus."

Without Words - God I Look To You

A Season of Leaving

Everyone around me seems to be leaving. Some are better off leaving but others I’d wish lingered in my life a bit longer. In and out they go, leaving nothing but footprints and distant, far-off memories that seemed so sweet — almost too sweet, making you wonder why they’d ever leave in the first place. I’m struggling to hold in the anger, the tears, the bitterness, and the confusion. I constantly straddle the line between feeling the pain and not feeling anything at all. The numbness feels all too comforting, yet I know You give me this pain for a reason. These reasons I don’t yet understand, but far be it for me to question Your will. Instead, I pray. I pray for strength to stay afloat and to keep feeling. I pray for peace in not having all the answers as to why people keep leaving. I pray for the desire to cling to You, especially on the days I just don’t want to. Lastly, I pray so fervently for Your joy because I know that without it, I have nothing to cling to at all.

Tunnel Vision

There is a light at the end of this tunnel, and it’s emanating through to my soul. His glory will be my guiding light, and His peace will keep me still.
