i cant believe its july 9. crazzzy. time is flying by so stinkin fast. why summer must you go away? I'm excited though for conference coming up! it is always one of my favorite parts of summer. I'm praying for God to move in some big ways!

life as of current is great. Easy, no. but great! Discipline is kicking my butt, trying to be productive yet enjoy life is a balance that I'm trying to figure out. One day at a time is how I'm taking it. do the best that you can today and let tomorrow be tomorrow. That means that sometimes you gotta enjoy the moment, eat ice cream with a friend, and let the homework wait. Other times it means you gotta crack the whip and work hard and get some stuff done because time is passing by every moment. I've been sharing Christ with my friend for a while now and it has been so cool for her to see just how awesome God is. But also through our conversations she has also realized that being a Christian is not an easy thing. If you are all out for God, you are going against everything the world says. At times I stopped and was thinking about this...it is so hard to serve God! It takes work and focus and discipline! But it is a greater reward than anything and everything this world has to offer. With God, we can do all things and that is what makes Him happy. Nothing is better than being able to feel God's delight when he looks at your life and how you served Him and did everything with the right heart.

How do you say sane when life is crazy? JESUS. Jesus is the consistency in my life. When things are busy, Jesus is there to keep me focused. When I'm tired, exhausted, and defeated...Jesus is there to lift me up. When I have an awesome day, Jesus is there to rejoice with me and get all the praise. Jesus is number one to me.

growing and loving life. :)
