To remind me of who You are.


Today I had the privledge of holding a 4 day old baby. I don't think i've ever had the chance to experience this before. It left me speechless. David's words came alive in a new way:
"For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mothers womb". As I gazed down at this beautiful baby boy I was amazed at the intricate details of his 7lb 11oz body. Tiny fingernails, tiny eye lashes, deep blue eyes, little hands and feet. After beholding such a wonder it's hard to imagine how people can say there is no creator, or that a baby isnt a baby until its born. It brings tears to my eyes to think of the fact that these days a baby can be aborted at any time during a pregnancy. But thats a whole different topic.
Today Gods glory and beauty was displayed to me in a whole new way, and it moved me deeply.
Just as God formed that baby boy, He also formed every single one of us. He handpicked our eye color, he carefully formed our ears, arms and legs. He thought of every detail and placed them all in its rightful place. He created us in His image. Let that truth sink into the depths of your heart.

"My frame was not hidden from you when I was
made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths
of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me
were written in your book before one of them came to be
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!"
Psalms 139:15-17

Be inspired to inspire.

This summer I've really realized the importance of surrounding myself with people who inspire, challenge and cause me to think outside myself. I thoroughly enjoy conversations that stir my heart, create passion and make me think. It's so easy to get stuck in one way of thinking, acting, reacting, and living.
But don't get stuck in your own thoughts cause there is more to know, more to experience, and more to grow.
The possibilities in life are endless.
Dream as big as you possibly think you can, then dream bigger.
