nothing's ever clear. nothing's ever what you thought it would be, what you expected. it's wrong, not what you wished for, it's twisted... but if you're lucky.. it's just right, it's more than you could imagine, it's beautiful.
for me life is like walking in the dark. but to be completely honest, this has nothing to do with me. i plan everything everyday.. im learning something, though.. it's that something has found a way to pervade my plans, my passions, my affections, my thoughts.. something has given me reason to be obsessed, to be in love, and to live.. . . He, Christ Jesus, is walking with me everyday. He's leading me by my hand in darkness i have created. i would have never planned it this way, but now it is unmistakably outside of myself a reason to give him glory for a story I could have never written.

claire comes to bama

psalm 139.
you have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar.
okay such a small part of a great chapter.

this is my comfort this week. the lord knows my heart better than i do and for some reason that is comforting. he has brought me this far and he will never forsake me. i was reunited with the most amazing girl in the world today- claire amen. she's finally here with me at bama and i am just so overwhelmed at the faithfulness god has shown me through her. we worked together at frontier last summer, became best friends, and now she's going to the same school as me.. did i mention she's from chicago. that's the cool part. god has no limits so don't try to make them. i am trying to recreate my perception of god, who he is, and what he can do. an all-powerful god has no place inside my closed-mindedness and my boundaries i set for him. he has called us to be free while showing us that we can't put our human weaknesses with his holy strength. with god, perfection and love meet. with him, human insufficiency is masked by divine control. with him, doubts and misconceptions become confidence and truth.
