The guy God has in store for me has his hands full. That's for sure.

If this is your will.

Me? You want me, to go all over the world where no one knows my name? I want to share the word of Christ. Am i capable? Much less worthy? Out of all of all people you want me to go. Share your love. Risk everything. In Acts, 20:24 it says: My life means nothing to me. And i should start believing that. Because James 4:7 says to fill yourself with Christ and i’m ready. Your will is perfect. I want to follow you everywhere. I will be obedient. In His name.

Do you know what it’s like to be in relationship and be completely in love?

i do.

Do you know what it’s like to be loved at all times, even when you don’t deserve it?

i do.

Do you know what it feels like that, someone sacrificed their life for you?

i do.

Do you know what’s it’s like to worship the Being that created you, to praise His glory, sing, dance and love…all for Him?

i do.

I could sit here and type about statistics. I could tell you that there isn’t a single fact in the bible that has been proved wrong. I could sit here and type about how every other religious book contradicts itself. I could even tell you that going to Heaven will be your reward if you accept this. Instead, i’ll tell you that God loves you. Jesus, his son died on the cross for you. I won’t give you verses, I won’t tell you that you’ll go to Hell if you don’t believe. I’ll tell you i’m redeemed and forgiven. I have fulfillment in Christ, and i want to pursue it. I want to tell you that God had risen, and he’s reigning…and I love it.

Dear Future and Dreams,

I've always liked you. Liked being the operative word.
I have some business to handle now.
I'll catch up with you sometime.
You're in good hands. He will never let you fall.
Love always,
Natalie

I don’t smoke weed. I won’t look down on you if you do. I don’t drink, I won’t harass you about it. Gay marriage is marriage, even though i think marriage should be a man and a women. I think abortion should be legal, even though i don’t agree with it. I won’t think higher of myself because of this. I don’t sleep around and I won’t judge you if you do. I’m a Christian. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and i won’t shove my religion down your throat. I’m tired of stereotypes. I make decisions just like you do. Mine are no better than yours. I’m not higher than you just because i choose to do things differently. We all live in this silly world. Don’t expect me to care what you do, expect me to care about the person you are.

You've got me smiling again.

God is so cool.

I love knowing God has forgiven me.
I'm so undeserving.
I love randomly opening my bible and seeing a verse I need to feel like living.
My devotion was perfect today, exactly what I need.
I'm not even concerned with my worries.
It's all in God's hands.
I feel free. At last.
I love you whole heartedly.

Like a bird in a cage, I broke in and demanded that somebody free it.

I like boys who make me laugh, who like to be silly, and who aren't silly about silly things. Hey Tyler Hernandez! That's you.
And, i love you. A lot. Baby Carrots.

Everyone I meet has an influence in my life now and days.
Yesterday, I went to a funeral.
My best friend's mother recently died of cancer.
The number of people that attended made me realize how much of an impact some people have.
While sitting in the choir loft, where Lindsey asked me to sit. Josh Jones was beside me. Right as I started to cry, he put his arm around me and pulled me close, he put his head against mine.
Last night, Lindsey and I stayed up talking until three in the morning about stuff, like life.
People like that give me hope.
I love them. A lot.
I wish i had more chances to tell them.
