This is my renaissance
This is my one response
This is the way I say I love you
This is my second chance
This is my one romance
This is the cutting line
On which I stand to show you
--Mat Kearney.



Magical Mondays.
Terrific Tuesdays.
Wondermous Wednesdays.
Thoughtful Thursdays.
Freakin'fun Fridays.
Sosososweet Saturdays.
Sincere Sundays.
I'm putting these words into each day. Because I am choosing to live with  OVERFLOWING JOY.
do it to it.



Picture time.
just a few things i really do miss.


so many memories&moooobies.

turning 18 and loving Aaron Watson.

mustangs, clay cafe, and friendships as sweet as suga.

the goofiest of the goofiest. wouldn't have it any other way.

stating the obvious.

makeovers and dressing up for absolutely no reason.

pretending we like prom.

roots.

bestie bunch. tired eyes. spontaneous road trips.

schlotzsky's, no makeup, lubbock apartments.

longhorn street. capturing ordinary days.  

senior year. homecoming. jr. high section.
who does that?

lake time.

you and me go fishin in the dark.

OH MY GOSH.
reminiscing is. so. much. fun. 




"And I tried to forget you but
The memories got stuck and now they’re on display..."

welp, here it goes.

I titled my blog everything is Yours because of a song by Audrey Assad.
The chorus is very simple, yet echoes so very deeply within my soul.

"If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go
No, it was never mine to hold"

If you know me at all, or maybe you do know me but don't know this about me.
I'm a control freak.
I love to be in control of every situation and be able to control the outcome.
I'm pretty positive God laughs at me sooooo hard for that.


It's funny, ya know, because this song has shaken me to my very core.
I cannot even describe the amount of comfort I get from trusting that EVERYTHING is HIS and he's got it all figured out, because I sure as heck do not.

I love the feeling of letting go. and lately, that's been the hardest thing for me.
To trust. To step back and just chill out.
I am absolutely powerless and praise God that He is absolutely LIMITLESS.


 
"I’ve never said this before
I’ve never opened the door so wide
But I think it’s time"

I was going through some of my pictures wallago and saw this...
I love joy. I love being soooo dumb.
But most of all I love being so REAL.


I wanna get right with so many people.
I want my friendships and relationships to grow.
And most of all for them to grow in Christ. In His timing.



        


This song get's me through the day. In just admitting to Jesus that I am weak without him. That I fail, but He has overcome the world. Hope it encourages you!<3
