go into all the nations...

A good little morning song to start the day is always wonderful:) Worship is even better. Shane and Shane will forever and always be what I love worshipping to. Their lyrics are straight from scripture and I love that! Right now "For The Good" just came on my itunes and goodness, it's SWEET stuff. The lyrics come from a verse that is the testimony of my life (which I'll soon be getting tattooed :))) - Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose."


I want yall to know that I discovered a freckle in between my toes and i think that is so cool HA!
I started my new job at Carrington's and I love it! Cutest childrens clothes I've ever seen in my entire life. They're also more expensive than what I even spend for MYSELF, but it sure is fun and I'm so blessed to have a fresh new job and one that I enjoy.
I'm going home this weekend to hang out with my parents and go to the lake with my girls! Can't wait for a relaxing weekend and to see my sweet punkinnnhead
I was reading some awesome stuff this morning in David Platt's book "Radical" and I'm dying to share with yall some things that stuck with me. The whole book is about "taking back your faith from the american dream. it's BLOWN my mind and changed my heart and challenged me in several ways. I've journaled for pages about convictions and challenges and a lot of asking God to change my heart to yearn more for the glory and the gospel of Christ to be known in this world rather than me focus on my silly little life and all the things in my world and what I want to accomplish. We are called to something SO much greater. One thing that I've taken away from the book thus far is that Christ COMMANDED us as Christians and followers of Him to go to all the nations proclaiming His love. It's not a choice or an option. It's a call and a command for every single believer, not just the awesome radical missionaries or people who are more gifted in that area or called. It's for ME- little tiny me who is not good at teaching and can't remember all the books of the Bible in order and who just wants to love on others. God has chosen me to be an ambassador for Him! CRAZY! What an honor. So, anyway, a few things I want to share with y'all that I read this morning. I pray that they are a blessing to you. They struck me.

"If more than a billion people today are headed to a Christless eternity and have no even heard the gospel, then we don't have time to waste our lives on an American dream. Not if we have all been commanded to take this gospel to them. The tendency in our culture is to sit around debating this question, but in the end our goal in not to try to find an answer to it; our goal is to ALLEVIATE the question all together."

"The will of God is for you and me to give our lives urgently and recklessly to making the gospel and the glory of God known among all peoples."

"Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. My soul will be satisfied with the richest of foods." Psalm 63:3,5
