“If the unborn child is not a human, no reason [for abortion] is necessary. If the unborn child is a human, no reason is adequate.”

“My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I…
midnight gift exchange
Chris and I couldn’t wait to give each other our Valentines Day gifts.So we did it at midnight.
He showed his creative side and had constructed a large picture frame for me with fabric in the background.It was covered with pictures of us and little Valentines. I couldn’t describe how much I was touched. Looking forward to dinner tonight with my fiancee/best friend/buddy/handsome man.

as I sit here,
a college student with years of life to live stretched out before me,
I pray for an eternal mindset.
this life is so quick, so temporary, and this earth is only heading towards the next disaster.
Pastor Jeff said this morning that “at some point, every created thing will be shaken. so stand on Jesus Christ, and you will not be moved.”
I look at all the things my...
I am not what you would call a “runner.” I don’t usually enjoy it, and it doesn’t seem to come as naturally to me as it does to others. However, today when I hopped on the treadmill I didn’t want to stop! For some reason, running came easily and I wasn’t tiring. It felt amazing. I make it a point to run a mile at least three times a week, but today I felt like...

oh, this silly heart of mine
looking for new things to buy
nothing really satisfies
in the end
greed is making fools of us
waging war, betraying us
empires only fade to dust
in the end, in the end

racheljaneoh:
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of...
he surprised me
New Year’s Eve. I thought I was in for an enjoyable evening with my mom and sister. We were going to kick back, relax, and watch the Times Square ball drop. Little did I know, he drove 300 miles to be next to me for a few hours. The evening included firecrackers, snacks, Scattergories, Apollo 18 (worst movie ever), my dear mother and sister, and the love of my life.
Welcome, 2012, and...
Ethan and I decided today that we don’t like technology.
We will use it since it’s there and in many ways necessary, but we would rather live without.
Anyway, great day.
Walked the dog, did pilates, baked butterscotch cookies, got some good time with my brothers, went to the gym with Savannah, and made dinner. Dinner included edamame…new favorite.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the...

Life here is so temporal. Lately been thinking a lot about what it’ll be like when I meet Him. A place where perfection and glory meet in the most satisfying way. Complete peace and joy and harmony. Life here is extremely far from that state of being that it’s impossible to even imagine. This mentality does make our little vaporous life here drown in comparison to what we will...

It slipped—those three words. I said it. I said “I love you” to the man who caused an unbelievably large amount of strife in my life. But did I mean it? I don’t know. Maybe it was subconsciously intentional since I was about to board a plane, and who knew what could happen. Maybe it was habit. Or…
oh, Sav!
just felt like sharing this with the internet.
Ever seen the show “Toddlers and Tiaras?”
Sad. Disturbing. Unhealthy. Wrong.
If I may have an opinion.

Just a typical night with the sister. We do love this movie. And princesses. And such.
