Faith cannot grow under certainty.

So, I think its pretty safe to say that this is the first time in my life where I have had to really put my faith into action. Part of it is probably because it is the first time I make a major move in my life alone- no guys, no family, not even one single person I know here. I remember trying to plan and prepare for this when I was still in Florida and feeling butterflies of excitement! Now the butterflies have really come alive. I have been having to face my fears. Do things that are completely out of my comfort zone. But what truly amazes me in all of this is that God has been giving me a peace to trust Him in every detail. He keeps His promises. Every one of them. He will never leave me, never ignore me, never forget about me. He is always good. He will always take care of me. He is always generous. He is always in control. Someone once said "Faith cannot grow under certainty" and that is exactly what I am experiencing. I am so uncertain about so many things, and its making my faith grow. It is stretching me to depend less on myself and my own efforts and to completely surrender and believe in the amazing LOVE that Jesus has for me. I am His princess. WOOHOO!!!!

"Breaking Down"

-John Mark McMillan

I'm making plans to waste my life on You
I'm making plans to waste my life on You
Cause New York City and Hollywood combined
They ain't got enough lights
To make me want change my mind about You

Cause I'm breaking down
I don't even care if there's anyone else around
Cause I'm breaking down
I always fall to pieces whenever You're around

I'm Mary Magdalene and tonight is a bottle of perfume
I'm Mary Magdalene and tonight is a bottle of perfume
There's not enough dignity to hold me now
When I know Your going to meet me here
There's not enough gravity
To keep me away from You

Cause I'm breaking down
I don't even care if there's anyone else around
Cause I'm breaking down
I always fall to pieces whenever You're around

So meet me here
Where we shine like gold
Like the light beneath the embers
Of the burning coals
And I will spill my bottle
Like in days of old
On the song that bleeds from the breaking down

Road Trip

Ok, so its super late and I'm exhausted but I had to at least tell a little bit about how amazing this road trip has been! We drove across Florida and Georgia, then Tennesse which was where we slept last night. Tennessee was so beautiful, full of hills and montains, lakes and rivers. I loved seeing all the bridges they have built there, they were beautiful. Today we crossed over Illinois and Missouri and got to stop at IHOP just to see the prayer room and enjoy a little worship. It was so amazing to see how full the prayer room was and the cultural diversity- its crazy to think that it doensn't stop. They pray and worship 24 hours a day there.

I had saved this as a draft yesterday, so today I can continue and tell a bit about our 3rd day on the road. We woke up at the Four Points in Kansas City, Missouri and began our jorney west on I-80 all day long crossing Nebraska. All there is to see in Nebraska are fields of corn. Thats it. Hours and hours of corn! Needless to say I got pretty bored in the car today- but thankfully when my it was my turn to drive I got to add Jack and Ray to my ride and that made it a whole lot better! I am so excited about tomorrow when we will finally get to the mountains and through Colorado, Utah and Nevada! Can't wait!!!
