"Who needs a valentine when you have Christ? (:"

What a sweet morning reminder from the sweetest small group!
(Okay, I'll admit that I'm biased.)

Sheesh, I think 4 different people have asked me about whether or not I have a valentine this year. Kind of ridiculous. You all need to calm down! Ahaha. (Although, I have noticed that the older I become, the more frequent the topic arises... Jokingly or not.) Anyhoos, so without even mentioning that, the valentine's topic came up during our talk & man, I am incredibly thankful for these girls. They totally know w'sup. :) "Leader" or not, we're all sisters & we all gotta edify one another to pursue holiness & glorify the Father, not ourselves! Love it.

Sorry fellas, our hearts are with Jesus. (;
Gotta seek Him to get to 'em.

Butterflies & pesky moths.

What a weird week. Two weeks? Meh.

Not sure how I feel about it.

Still praying.

In the Cross Alone I Glory.

Never will I seek the glory

That was never meant for me.

Always heavenward reflecting..

All to Jesus to receive,

All to Jesus to receive!

In the cross alone I glory;

Nothing of my own to give.

Only that which Christ has offered

For my soul that I may live,

For my soul that I may live...

I'm gonna quote a sister on this one, but forreal, "they don't call it 'the Good News' for no reason."

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Note to self.

Starfield - I Will Go.

Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to see the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change

I will go, I will go,
I will go Lord, send me
To the world, to the lost
To the poor and hungry
Take everything I am,
I'm clay within Your hands

Oh, that this may be the prayer of my heart on the daily.

New year, new goals. May I persevere even more, submit even more, suffer even more for the sake of Christ... because, regardless of my own changes, my God is unchanging & His standards stay the same. Can't wait for what's in store this year. I just pray that I remember that God is sovereign & perhaps more importantly, that He is God.
