choose to love...
over what your mind screams,
over what the world cries,
despite all the lies
CHOOSE to love.
i've been here before so it should be easier this time,
now i know myself more than i ever have,
why am i so at a loss?
Why do i not believe that I am HIS. I am beloved. I am LOVED. i am LOVED.

intentionally yours.
The life that intends to be wholly obedient, wholly submissive, wholly listening, is astonishing in its completeness. It's joys are ravishing, its peace profound, its humility the deepest, its power world-shaking, its love enveloping, its simplicity that of a trusting child.

Merry Christmas!!!
Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
Luke 1:46-48
The angel said to Mary.."Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
Luke 2:29-33
... " I am the Lord's servant, " Mary answered.
"May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.
Luke 2:38
The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul to too."
Luke 2:33-35
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10
Love leads to hope. Hope does not disappoint.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 5:3-5
We who are strong ought to bare with the feelings of the weak and not please ourselves.
Romans 15

What a blessing!
My 21st birthday was yesterday and it was incredible!
My first legal drink of alcohol was at a bar with some of my most cherished friends and my family. I had my friend say the communion prayer and we took communion at a BAR! hahaha so great. All the glory belongs to God and yesterday wasn't about me, but for Jesus.
The people in my life are so incredible, I can only thank Jesus for what a wonderful family of believers he has surrounded me with.
I have a month of summer left until my last year at Point Loma.
Wow let's see what else God has in store!...
The present from my parents..
one gift certificate to Haiti and back..:)
Thank you Jesus.

sweet hawaii.
The breeze from the water is simply enchanting. The waves have such a calming affect that they just sing out God's mercy. It's been a rough couple of weeks. God is so much stronger than I, and I am so constantly reminded of that. I just need to fully depend on him.
My grandma Maggie passed away this last April and while she was unconscious for over two weeks they planned her funeral for this July. It will be her birthday and funeral this Thursday. It takes a lot out of me to really try and face the reality of her absence. She meant so much to me.
She was a difficult person to deal with...for most people. But for me she was a ball of fire to have fun with. We both just got so sassy with each other, it was always hilarious. Our little banter back and forth was quite comical, even just in the physical sense. She was a full chinese woman, under five feet, short black hair and with extremely petite features. I towered over her, a giant with long blonde streaked hair, and completely caucasian looking. I would walk her down the little neighborhood streets in Oahu making her pump her arms and pick up her knees... it was a sight to see to say the least.
I have told all my close friends about her and she lives on through all my stories. She was one of the most funny, feisty and cut throat persons I have ever met. haha. I hope that I too will be a little feisty fireball when I am a grandma. They are so funny to have around.
Please pray for my family and the people that are mourning from the loss of my grandma. I pray that God will give me the words to say on Thursday if I do end up speaking at the ceremony.
Thank you for your prayer and support:)
