My already swell day was made a little brighter with this 954 text. A lovely reminder that God is continuous, regardless of location or time, no matter where I am or what I’m doing, with strangers who will likely remain strangers in my lifetime, through means I don’t even usually pray for.
ascend the hill | spend it all
I offer up my mind to You, I long for the truth You know
I offer up my feet to You, they’ll walk straight on the path You show
I offer up my time to You, so keep me and hold me still
I offer up my hands to You, Lord use them to do Your willAnd I’ll give all I have left to give
Cause it’s everything I am, Lord
And this life I’ll spend it all for You
I’ll waste it all on You
Pretty sure this is the song that convicted me to be focused-ly single through x-date.
God speaks to me through music.

This is why I will never stop chasing the LORD. He has changed me, He molds me, and He will continue to lead me for the rest of my days. I am better in a moment with Him than I ever could have been in a lifetime without Him.
To God be all the glory, happiness, friendship, and love.
God bless you all! :)
Memorial to Edith Corse Evans at Grace Church in New York City via Scouting NY. Another plaque honoring Edith Corse Evans can be found at Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church in Sayville, New York.
A wealthy, single socialite, Edith was 36 years old when she boarded the Titanic. On board she befriended a 59 year old wife and mother named Caroline Brown.
The two women were among the throng trying to reach a lifeboat as the Titanic sank. When only one space remained, Edith pushed Caroline forward saying “You go first, you have children waiting at home.”
Edith was one of four first class women to perish in the sinking of the Titanic. Her body has never been recovered.
God bless her soul!

Dear Future Husband,
One of the things I’m looking forward to the most is praying with you, but until then, I will continue praying for you, thanking God for shaping you to be the man you’re meant to be.
I thank the LORD for already providing me a future husband.
God doesn’t deserve just our prayers for things to happen… He also deserves our praise for things He has written in our books for our futures.
Pray through and praise through.

I was behind an ambulance at a stoplight. Ascend The Hill’s Take The World, But Give Me Jesus had just come on. From a hundred feet away I could tell someone was in the back of the bus; I knew I’d want to see. It was in my correct turning lane anyway.
As I pulled up, I saw it was an old man. He was breathing heavily but the emergency lights were off. He had breathing tubes in his nose and he was sitting upright. His breathing was deep and quick. He was so old.
Take the world, but give me Jesus…
Tomorrow, I’m going to smile no matter what’s happening in me. I’m going to forgive my forgets and others’ mistakes. I’m going to be happy because someone else might not be able to be.
I have no idea what was going on with that old man, but I said a quick prayer for him, and thanked God for showing him to me. He might be in a bad situation but I can learn good from it.
Tonight is when I realized, yet again, that life is fragile. And we have just one. This one’s mine and I’m going to love it, not because I have to, not because I should, but because I want to, and I want to have to, and I want to should.
You are living. Don’t let that simple fact pass you by. You are here, breathing, making history. Live.
We shouldn’t seek answers as much as we should seek God.
