Complete

"The God of peace will make me complete in every good work to do His will, working in me what is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ." 
Hebrews 13:21
Being single can be hard, really hard. You stand back and watch as your friends laugh and have fun with their boyfriends. you look on as your friend walks down the isle. Yup, it can definitely be hard. The key words there are CAN BE. By can be, I mean it doesn't need to be hard. When we focus on ourselves, what we don't have compared to what others do have it is going to be hard. Hebrews 13:21 says, "The God of peace will make me complete in every good work to do His will, working in me what is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ." "The God of peace will make me complete..." It doesn't say you will be complete when you get a boyfriend, get engaged or get married. No you can be complete in Christ right now. Don't listen to the lies that tell you that you'll be complete when you find your prince charming, because the only one who can truly make you complete is Christ! "In every good work to do His will" When we focus on Christ and what He is asking us to do now our focus moves from self to Him. When we put effort towards serving Him where we are now, and not always pining for the future we find that we can be content in the here and now, right where He has us. That doesn't mean that we wont ever wish for God to send the right guys soon, because we will. But it wont consume you any more. You'll be able to enjoy things, even when your hanging out with your friend and her boyfriend, because you know that God will bring the right guy in His perfect timing but until then you'll be complete serving Him. Find something that you love and figure out how to serve God with it. Don't just sit around waiting for God to make your prince appear, serve Him!

Summer 2019

"Even youths grow tired and weary,  and young men  stumble and fall;  but those who hope   in the   Lord  will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles;  they will run and not grow weary,  they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 30-31 This summer I worked at a summer camp called Circle C Ranch. For those of you who don't know about it, it is a summer camp for kids that revolves around sharing the gospel with kids. I was a... you guessed it... wrangler! That means that I worked long days working with the horses and making sure the tiny humans didn't die. Not going to lie, it was hard! We woke up early and went to bed late. The work was hard and fast paced. But it was so worth it! The kids absolutely loved the horses and there were a number of the kids who said that the horses were their favorite part of camp- they had come from places where they didn't have a chance to ride so this was special for them.  Outs...

Love's Source

Valentines Day What comes to your mind when you think of Valentines Day? For some people, theres excitement and joy. Maybe you have new love that is just blooming, and this is a day to celebrate and look forward to what is to come. Maybe you have a deep rooted love that is strong and sweeter now that you've been through the fires and love has been refined.  Maybe your heart sinks. You're looking for that love and it hasn't come yet. Or you've lost a love. This day is just a reminder of the love that you don't have.  There could be a hundred different scenarios that either make you look forward to, or dread today.  Wherever you are on the spectrum, whatever your feelings are of love right now, I encourage you to take time to come to the feet of LOVE.
