como te va?

you know, as much as they suck in the moment… those times in life when God has completely the last say, yield some of the most amazing, uplifting, faithbuilding moments in my life.

for example, my Soc 271 grade. I was in GRAVE danger of not getting a 2.5 in the class. it was, stupid. and frustrating. because 2.5 are a cinch… the thing is that i needed a 2.5 in this class to apply to the Sociology major. Basically, i told God, quite bluntly “Lord, if this is meant to happen… do it. Because all I can do right now, is study really hard and pray”. Theres that story about Elisha and how he told God to soak the mat/fur/whatever and keep the ground dry in the morning so as to give him a sign. This, basically that. God has never really communicated to me in such a way… multiple times I’ve told God “let _____ happen, to show me if i should do ______” . never works. UNTIL NOW!

I got a stinkin’ 2.9! HA! I was praying for a 2.5 and God provided me with SO MUCH more! I feel so freaking loved by him, I seriously don’t deserve it. He know exactly what hes doing with me right now, I love it. Even though I don’t always get what I want, I know it’s what I NEED. And in my grown-up mind (finally), I embrace that fully, and praise God for what he’s done. Im so undeserving, but it’s called GRACE.

awesome <3 <3
basically, im in love. with jesus, duh. haha

bike time!

Closer to Love
Mat Kearney

She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call
from our knees
We're gonna get there soon

If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singing this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life

I'm gonna get there soon
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your light
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Cause you are all that I've waited for
All of my life
(We're gonna get there)
You are all that I've waited for
All of my life

You pull me closer to love hu huuh
Closer to love hu huuuh
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love

Pull me closer to love
