Mark 13:31





My roomie Kat has a flip calendar in our bathroom with daily scripture on it. As part of our routine through out the day when we are both in there she will say "want to know what Jesus says today?" or some variation of that. How cute are we?? haha
But one day this past week the verse was Mark 13:31 and when Kat read it to me it really hit home with me. We both mentioned how awesome it was but I have really meditated on it this week.

"Heaven and Earth will disappear, but my words will remain."

Simple but so powerful. It is so easy to forget how powerful our Father is. This life that we dwell on and put so much into is only temporary. But His words and His love is everlasting. We do not deserve it and yet he pours it on us daily. I am so thankful that he is so merciful.

Life is crazy and we can't sweat the small things, take joy in what He has given us :)

the truth hurts, a lie's worse

new blog!

I decided to "ceremoniously" delete my old blog and create a new one in honor of this new chapter in my life... I'm a little dramatic, I know!

So much has happened over this past summer and this semester so far. I had to a reassess a lot of things in my life and though it was painful and hard, there were changes that I had to make. The title of this post "the truth hurts, a lie's worse" has never been so true in my life. The truth can be so hurtful but in the long run a lie is worse than the painful truth. The semester thus far has been tough but so wonderful at the same time. I have had my ups and downs but I am constantly reminded that the Lord makes ALL things new and he can fix anything that seems broken and unwanted to us. I don't know what I would do without the love and support of my roomies, they are such a blessing to me. I have been missing my family a lot over this whole long process but even though they are miles away, I know that they are supporting me and constantly praying for me.
