Quotes. Words. Lyrics.

I love quotes. I actually just really like words. I love stories, song lyrics and poems. On any given day, during any given class..I will not be paying attention to my teacher, but instead of chatting with my friends on FB...I'll be looking up song lyrics and quotes to describe my current state of life.
Words are beautiful. Seriously. I never knew how much words impacted me until recently. There are a few people in my life who just seem to know what to say and when to say it. And I love it. It pulls at my heart strings and I just "get" what they are saying.
I've always been a lover of quotes. Seriously. In eighth grade and ninth grade, I covered my entire planner in quotes and I changed the quotes out every month or so. I've found some good quotes, sad quotes, inspiring quotes, dramatic quotes, deep quotes, quotes that I'll never share with anyone, quotes that I want to share with everyone. Seriously. Start looking up quotes. Quotes by famous people. Quotes said by people during their joyful times. Quotes said by people during their darkest times. They are all beautiful.
Quotes aren't the only thing that I love...But music and lyrics. I love music and lyrics. Music is in a whole seperate category...that could fill up another post...but specifically lyrics. I could care less what the singer sounds like..but if their words speak to my heart. I'm hooked and I will blast their music into my eardrums for the next 24 hours...or 24 days.
I cannot get enough of words.
Words aren't always a good thing. Some people say some not so nice things. That crap can hurt. Words can wound people in unimaginable ways. Heck. If you say something I don't want to hear, I will shut you out for a long while. Because words mean that much to me. If you scare me away with your words, I will run far, far away from you. I probably will never trust you again.
But if you can win me over with your words. Well, that will be something beautiful in the making.

Proverbs 18:21
"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

Even God knew the power of words.
The bible is a beautiful love story.
You should read it.
Those words pull at my heartstrings. And the truth found within those pages have never hurt me.


Until next time....

:::Fifty Shades of Crap:::

Warning: What I am about to say will probably offend a lot of people... But I am not here to please the world, but to please Christ.  There is a huge phenomenon sweeping our nation right now. It is filling countless people's minds with images that cannot be erased. The phenomenon is called Fifty Shades of Grey.  As a person that works with youth, I decided to check out the book after hearing many of my students and fellow friends talk about the book. As a youth worker, it is my responsibility to know what this generation of students are putting into their minds. So, I picked up the book and started reading. I was absolutely appalled. What I found were pages filled with inappropriate images of lust, bondage, and manipulation. Needless to say, I never finished reading the book. I respect my future husband too much to continue reading this book. I respect myself too much to continue reading this book. I respect Christ too much to continue reading this book. Here'...

"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got."

For those of you that listen to the Christian radio stations, you'll hear a common theme among some of the top songs. Forgiveness---by Matthew West. Losing---by Tenth Avenue North. Forgiveness---by TobyMac. I don't think that it's a coincidence. This isn't the typical post about how Christ has forgiven your sins---however that is the most important  truth that you'll ever hear in your life. How Christ lived a perfect life, so that you wouldn't have to. How Christ died a painful death, so that you wouldn't have to. How Christ rose from the grave, and in doing so---set you free from all sin, all pain, all hurt, and all shame. If you haven't accepted the truth of Christ's forgiveness over your sin, then the rest of this blog may seem stupid . Irrelevant . Unbelievable . Why forgive others if you haven't realized how much you  need forgiveness. So, this blog is for those that believe that Christ has forgiven them .This blog is for those that have bee...

Turkey Hill Ranch Bible Camp?

I applied to work at Turkey Hill Ranch Bible Camp in the middle of March. I really wanted to grow in a "different" way this summer...at least different then just being "taught" at camp. So, I applied and was accepted to be on summer staff. I was super excited, but as the year ended and summer started, I decided that I wanted to go to Younglife Camp. Younglife camp is so fun; with amazing food, crazy activities, an entire surprise and great speakers. I wanted to go since it would be my last time as a camper, so I decided to let the people at Turkey Hill know that I wouldn't be coming as a staffer, because I had other things to do this summer. So, that's what I did. Thru the months of summer, I tried to recruit people for younglife camp (you have to have three signed up, if you're going to go a second time) and tried to raise money to go. I was getting to the point where I was inviting literally everyone on facebook, and was going to spend 600+ dollars of ...
