I am a really awful blogger. Sorry, guys. I don't even have an excuse; I just don't do it. But I like to. It's a strange thing.


My precious baby sister turned 7 yesterday! I really cannot believe she is this old. She woke up super early (of course), and she proceeded to wake me up too with the infamous "where's mom?" My answer is always the same... "She took Tristan to school. She'll be back soon" Then came "I'm 7. it's my birthday!" She's a cute one, and she's incredibly sassy. (as you can tell in the image below)

It has been a very long time since I have been to jackson/ seen my friends and i am going crazy! i miss Jacksonians terribly. I will be there soon though!! (a week from today).

I am really learning what it means to live a lifestyle of Love. I'm learning the importance of spiritual discipline, as well. I want to know the Lord more intimately, and I want to go deeper in worship. In order for these two things to take place, I must spend time with Him. i WANT to spend time with Him. I was just really undone this easter season, just really in awe and really thankful for the cross. I was more aware of His mercy than I've ever been this year. Some of my favorite moments in worship are when I can't even sing because I am so in awe of the Lord, which usually means lots and lots of tears. Easter Sunday, our church that we've been visiting, Brownsville Assembly of God, sang "Happy Day"... love it! but I couldn't even sing. The entire church was dancing and praising Jesus for the day He washed our sins, and I just cried. He is so beautiful.

I am PRAYING for a rainy day tomorrow... It has been way too long since we have had rain. We have foggy days a lot, but it hardly ever rains. I need a good rain. I love it.

Oh, wow I can't believe I almost forgot to blog about this. Kari Jobe is a worship leader/ recording artist out of Dallas, Texas and I have just been really impacted by her ministry and her heart for the Lord. She is friends with one of my mom's friends from highschool (i'll call her N), and my mom recently talked to N about how much i love Kari's ministry and music. Well Kari went to Australia (where N lives) for a conference, and they spent some time together... N asked her to sign a picture for me and THIS is what she wrote me.

Needless to say, this is going to be framed and cherished forever. It is such a blessing to me. :)
