Enjoying good music

I am really appreciative of God's gift of music. It seems as though sometimes it's easier to say things through music and it sends a much more beautiful message. I'm recently thankful for Jimmy Needham's spoken word song Not Without Love. It's a powerful message of how we go from broken and alone to being a part of God's kingdom and how He so lovingly and freely took us in.

That's really all for today.
Thank God for refreshing my soul with music.

Cheers :)

God break my heart for what breaks Yours

Well this summer is the start of new things in my life and I can't wait to see how God plays them all out over the next year or so...however, I wanna just take a sec to highlight one major aspect of my life that hopefully won't ever change, no matter what. I reached a whole new level this past semester in my faith that opened my eyes to something I never realized before. The place where I'm at is not near as important as the condition of my heart. Dealing with the choices on where to move schools and what to major in was something that was way hard for me. It took a lot for me to realize that no matter where I'm physically at, God is going to be with me in spirit. How cool to know that even if I ended up in the rain forest of South America all alone, God would still be there to comfort, guide and protect me?! I think that in order to be completely content in where God places you, it's important to understand that He will never take you somewhere you can't handle being. He is all-knowing and all-powerful and doesn't put us through things that would take us further from Him.
It's been such an encouragement looking at life through this new lens and I really am excited to see where God is weaving my path. I know it's not going to be easy, but I know without a doubt that my God, who is mighty to save and loves me with an endless love, will never ever leave me or forsake me. What a comfort.

So here's to starting new journeys and appreciating where I've come from.

Cheers :)
