Word.




I had a conversation with a good friend a few days ago and we came across our 'favorite' everythings. Favorite food, movie, day, weather, etc. We stumbled across the topic of our favorite bible verse and our favorite word. Surprisingly, our favorite bible verse was easy to say. But our favorite word wasn't. As I laid in my cozy bed with my laptop on my chest, I thought about MY favorite word. As I shifted around in my blanket to adjust my pillow level, it suddenly hit me that so many times people degrade the true meaning and symbolism of words. Like when we say LOVE. Do we REALLY love it?? Or do we say 'love' in place of 'like' but a little more than 'like'? And then I thought, 'Dang, I wish there was a perfect word to describe God'. And I realized it was utterly impossible, because...i mean...how DARE i compare the Lord of the great heavens to....a WORD? It's almost blasphemous. And then I realized that a word that perfectly describes God would be good AND bad. Good, in the sense that I'd be satisfied in knowing it and bad because..it just would be bad.

Rediscover You- Starfield

You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You

I want to learn to pray
The way that David prayed
I want my soul to burn when I hear Your name
I want to feel like new
I want to hunger for you
Bring me back to life like only You can do
Cause I don't want to stay the same

Lord, I want to be Yours today
I want to know the passion of the saints
And how they were changed

I want to burn for You
Bring me back to life, Jesus
Help me rediscover You

Beautiful.

As I'm looking outside the geisel window from the 5th floor, I can't help but to look at all the beautiful trees, plants, flowers, people, colors, etc. I'm so glad the weather is finally getting warmer! Spring's my favorite season because it's so warm and I feel like there's LOVE all around. Everything looks so lovely, and it's that perfect weather not too cold not too hot. just perfect. I wish it was spring all throughout the year! I don't know why but I've been feeling so giddy and happy and so satisfied with everything these days. I think it's because I'm spending more time with Daddy in heaven :) My relationship with God always gives me a reason to love and be thankful. So, thank you dad, for this beautiful weather. beautiful friends. beautiful skies. beautiful trees. Beautiful Life.
