About this Blog

I oftentimes find myself feeling as if I am drowning in a sea of brokenness. Financial strains, familial tensions, and the like, oftentimes distract me from who I am in Christ, and furthermore, what I am called to do as His servant. Scripture repeatedly teaches that a part of my calling is to offer up my body as a living sacrifice, and this includes giving thanks for the blessings in my life to the loving God who bestows them. My life needs to be one of joy, one that actively pursues beauty and appreciates all things, even those that are commonly overlooked.
With this blog, I hope to take myself and anyone who reads it on a journey in which each and every day I find something to do, or see, or make that is beautiful and can be deeply appreciated. Then, I will give the beauty I find as an offering of praise and thanks to the Lord by writing about it here on this blog. Check back each day for a new post! I hope that what you read here will inspire you to appreciate life more and actively pursue the beauty that surrounds you, even in the midst of brokenness.

Fuel on the Flame

I just love Jesus...a lot.

Tonight I had a great conversation with a friend about how much we both love Jesus and how thankful we are for the amazing grace that comes with having a saving relationship with him. We both know people trapped in religion, bound by rules and regulations, trapped by man-made mandates, all which turn a personal relationship with Jesus into a regimented, rigid, and frankly, religious life. My friend and I were just so joyful about our relationship with Christ, and the freedom that comes with serving Him.

Now, yes, a life dedicated to Jesus has its hardships, of course. But when one thinks eternally, and of the amazing future one will have in heaven, praising God and having perpetual joy, the trials of this life pale in comparison.

I'm just so thankful that God called me into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm also very thankful for my friend who put fuel on the flame of my love for Jesus tonight.
