Clothed in Splendor

I unintentionally started giving each month of 2019 a word that summed it up (for those who are interested: january - new; february - bittersweet; march - intensity) so now I'm gonna talk a little about april's word. Glorify. if you look the word up, it literally means  to praise and worship (God). i never pick these words myself, it's just kind of whatever God lays on my heart a lot, and "for some reason" the word that's been scrawled on my wrist and my journal and my heart lately is glorify. I think it's just a reminder that my entire life is supposed to be glorifying God. everything i say or do is for His glory and if it's not honoring to God, then it's worthless. reality check: last month i wasn't doing so hot. Like i said, the word was intensity, and for a reason-- emotions ranging all over the spectrum from absolute joy to crushing despair are intense. It was hard to hold myself together, especially since it was such a crazy mon...

to anyone reading this that I don't know, hey!!! I'm so glad you found this because now we get to talk about some kinda boring stuff with a really cool ending! So I'm actually a very boring person, which is fine by me because at this point I'm trying to stop caring about me and start caring about Jesus. Testimonies are hard sometimes, but necessary, so here goes! Picture a tiny little girl, sitting in her mom's bed. The sun's shining through the white curtains and they're reading bible stories together. The little girl doesn't really know this yet, but her mama is telling her the gospel, pure and simple.

For the longest time, if anyone asked me what my testimony was, I'd just kind of shrug and mutter something along the lines of, well i was raised in a christian home a...

In the beginning.  Those three words began e v e r y t h i n g.  You. Me. The World. The Universe.  Just that alone makes me want to fall to my knees in awe.  What's absolutely ridiculous, crazy, out of the world to me, is that God made Mount Everest, and he also made the caterpillar. He created stars a thousand times bigger than our sun, and he created the color green. He set planets in motion, and he created silence. We wouldn't have a clue what noise was unless we knew what still and quiet was, and he created all of it. But what blows my mind even more is this: he created me.  But not even that! It gets better! He created me and he calls me beloved (Romans 9:25).  I've created this blog because I have found this passion within me to write and to share the Gospel, and blogging combines both of those mediums. I'm praying that God would use this platform to glorify his name, and that he would speak through me to whoever reads ...
