Heartfelt Words

9:13PM: Currently at YVR waiting for my 10:35PM flight back to school I really wish I weren’t going back today. I just kept thinking, if I could change one moment in time and get what I want, I’d choose to stay home for a few more days. Not that anyone can really get what they want

Psalm 17:23

It’s crazy the way God enters my life. His steps are like weird patches that don’t seem to blend in – things I never imagined happening actually occurring. It’s incredible. I’m not actually talking about good things either – there are times when He of course blesses me with incredible miracles, but lately I feel

Heaven holds my heart

So I will sing like I will there In the fearless light of glory Where the darkness cannot find me And Your face is all I see I am constantly blessed by His glory and grace upon my life, no matter what I have done or will do. I am constantly surprised by His mercies

I am forever indebted

I trust in Him with my heart to provide for me even though I am a worthless creature. And at times, it’s so confusing and difficult to realize my life in His terms, but I know it’s for the best. That some things are not meant to be clear or understood until the end. I

Love, fear, and everything in between

Children are curious and in awe of a lot of things. They start to wonder what’s around them, and then gradually become accustomed to language and others’ behaviours.

A Christian’s Confession to the Church

For the longest time, I hated church. I called myself a Christian, I prayed to God, and I believed in the existence of a Savior. But I still despised the church.
