I want this more than anything, but even more-so, I want You.
Don’t allow me to want him more than I want You.
Let me trust in Your perfect timing.

Growing up, I never had a kind, sweet, and loving mother.
Then You gave me her.
I always wanted a sister.
Then You gave me her.
I wanted more Godly girls in my life.
Then You gave me them.
I prayed for trust, patience, and to fall deeply in love with You.
Then You put Aaron in another state 15+ hours away.
I prayed that You would prepare my future husband for me and me for him.
And now...
Please take all of me.
Capture my thoughts,
feelings,
relationships,
actions,
words—
my entire life,
and chisel them to perfection in Your name.
I’m tired of living for myself. It’s clear I don’t know what I’m doing!
Take me.

Everyday is one step closer.
I miss him, but I know that You’re doing this for a reason.
I prayed that You would help me trust You and fall in love with You, so You took him away because I was letting him distract me. You’re teaching me to trust You through this and to focus more on You, so that I may fall deeply in love with You.
I can’t wait for the outcome of this. YOU ARE...

“focus girl, you can do this” -Kerry Jensen
It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet, and I feel like I have to keep myself busy to distract my thoughts from really grasping that you’ve gone away.
I keep telling myself that it’s only for two months. I keep telling myself to trust God.
I know that this is a time for us to grow in Him, separately. He’s brought you back...

I was just thinking, “It’s so hard to run to God when you want to physically fall into His arms. It’s like He’s there waiting, but it’s not the same as when you can fall into someone’s arms that’s right in front of you.”
But then He gave me this:
If you want to get to know Me, you need to read my Word. If you wanted to get to know your grandfather...

Staying up until 5 in the morning talking in Google-translate-Chinese.

I’m so confused and hurt.
I’ve know Aaron for 7 years. We met in 7th grade, went to the 8th grade dance together, and ended up “dating.” I go on vacation to California the summer after 8th grade, and I get a call saying he moved to live with his dad again. That ended what we had and was the first time we were apart. Life rolled on, and I didn’t care. Then he came...

I honestly don’t understand why people don’t take my advice when I know what I’m talking about. If I didn’t know, then I wouldn’t say anything. It’s like just because I’m “only 20 and don’t know anything,” no one even thinks twice about what I have to say! It drives me NUTS.
I know what I’m talking about.
I’ve been through...

It’s so hard to stop thinking about [insert name here] and to focus on God. I feel like it’s so much easier to think about someone than to shove the thought out and think about my Father. I don’t want to let anyone to get in the way of Him.
Why is it so hard to be content with the love of God?
I just keep on wishing and wondering about when the man God has for me will be...

There comes a time in everyone’s life when you really have to look at the people you surround yourself with. Eventually you become those people. I’m not saying it’s bad to hang out with people that are different than you. What I am saying is that you need to become wise enough to know who to constantly surround yourself with and who to surround yourself with every now and then....

“A bagel shop isn’t the most romantic spot to tell a girl you like her. But on that specific night, romance wasn’t the priority. Our time there wasn’t intended to be mushy. I didn’t propose marriage or say I was madly in love with her, and she didn’t swoon” (24).
It’s kind of funny how I always envision romantic dates: what we’d do and wear...

“Why, Lord?” she whispered. “Why is this so hard? What am I supposed to do with these feelings? Take them away if they’re not from You” (14).
When it comes to liking someone now, this definitely crosses my mind, but I’m not sure if I actually listen to God’s answer or listen to what I want. I think I just feel how I want and “test the...
Lift me up, O God.
God, you are totally awesome. I love you!

Another God Moment
I woke up at 6:30 yesterday morning with horrid stomach pains. They lasted about an hour, and during that time I mostly prayed. I was given the name Kim Fitzgerald to pray for. I have no idea who she is.
