I want to have a deep love, a love that is constant.  Thank you papa that you have that for me....

In the midst of it all, knowing that the MOST important friend has never left me.  He knows and understands and wants to grow deeper in love.  Thank you for your love letter that has the sweatest promises.

Today I went swimming and I didn't realize I had such a great fear of the deep end until I was swimming today... after taking a break and calming down....He showed me how the deep waters are good, there a picture of how there's so much more when we "swim" to the deep waters...even in loving people.....in life....and there's freedom....freedom to be real...

Beauty and the Beast
There is so much beauty in this world and sometimes I feel like only looking at the beast.  I feel like it's a daily choice....choosing Beauty or the beast.  I feel like Jesus constantly wants us to see the true beauty even when all we can see is the beast.  The word Beauty is a permanent word/art on me that I want to learn to live by, see through, be in, hear out of, reflect, choose, and I want more and more to know it truly means and experience to it's fullness.....
BEAUTY and beautiful things...

What will today be filled with....


A morning at the saturday market in Corvallis with my roomate.... and eating some yummy pastries, a full stomach....And a nap, resting and dreaming, reading and hearing...

I can't wait to be in your presence Jesus....   Thank you that I can ask you any question and you don't get annoyed, that your love is unfailing, that it never leaves me, that you have the best in store for me, that you want to prosper me and not to harm me, that you have a hope and future for me, that your patient, that your quick to listen to me and know my needs, that you know me more than anyone else, that you run with me and show me how much you love me, that you have confidence in me when I don't have confidence in myself, that you forgive faster than a blink of an eye, that you paid for everything and I can walk in your riches, that you see beauty when others see ashes, that your humble and gentle, kind, loving, full of grace and mercy, compassionate, sensitive, caring, and BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for your presence today...

For waking me up and a new day... Even though today was tough I could feel your presence with me, and your sweet whisper "I Love you, and I will never stop loving you"

For knowing my heart:)  Sometimes I have the hardest time communicating and I just can't speak right and I feel like people misunderstand me all the time.  Thank you that you love communicating with me and know what I'm trying to say.  Thank you that there's hope and you want to restore and help me in talking.

That You love to sing sweet melodies over me EVERYDAY, please help me to hear for them!

.. ..And that I can be refreshed in your presence all the time Jesus... Thanks for calling me your own and letting me live in you presence:)

Living in Grace is such a wonderful thing...... there's so many suprises, excitement, and wonder.  I feel like there has been so many gifts of love and grace given to me these last few weeks.  Even when I fail in so many things Jesus lifts my up and showers me in his love.  I just can't get over the power in knowing daddy.  The best gifts in life are the ones that are free.......
