the whole earth shakes.

today my heart breaks. my heart breaks for the millions of orphans in Haiti. kids are my heart. my passion. i want so badly to be there. to hug them and tell them that it is going to be ok. then i find myself asking God why can't i be in a place to adopt. Lord i pray that the children and the people of Haiti would feel your embrace.

i have had a hillsong song stuck in my head for the past couple of days: hosanna.

I see the King of Glory

Coming on the clouds with fire

The whole world shakes

The whole world shakes

I see His love and mercy

Washing overall our sin

The people sing

The people sing

Hosanna

Hosanna

Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation

Rising up to take their place

With selfless faith

With selfless faith

I see a near revival

Stirring as we pray and seek

We're on our knees

We're on our knees

Heal my heart and make it clean

Open up my eyes to the things unseen

Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks Yours

Everything i am for Your kingdoms cause

As i go from nothing to eternity

it is incredible.

the wheel.

i went to yoga last night at black swan yoga.

it was awesome.

we did the above position called the wheel and it starts facing the ground.

i know you are wondering how the heck did she go from facing the ground to facing the opposite way...

it wasn't easy.

but i did it!!

i haven't done a back bend in YEARS!!

i definitely felt my age.

i love yoga and i can't stop thinking about the next time i can go!

it is so relaxing.

calm.

i am trying...

big freeze 2010.

so i love cold weather but this year i am just over it.

it is more annoying than anything.

not to mention that it doesn't look like this picture when it freezes.

i just know that tomorrow if there is any ice i will find it and i will fall...i am already embarrassed.

so fingers crossed there is no falling tomorrow...

nac-town homies.

miche i miss you already!

i am super excited about your new york adventure.

thanks for being such an awesome friend!

psalm 119:32

each day i come back to this chapter i fall more in love with it and hopefully through diligence and prayer i will fall more in love with His word and the Bible itself.

i can't help but meditate on this verse:

I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart.

after reading this verse over and over again i find myself hitting my forehead and saying, "idiot, you actually thought you had control of your heart." i am learning that as hard as my mind wills my heart to sway one way or another or listen to truth...my heart only listens to Him. i also find myself wanting and trying to give my heart to everything, anything, anyone, and any passion that catches my fancy. i always end up broken. on my knees. asking why? now i see that it was me the whole time seeking things that will only fail me.

Lord enlarge my heart for YOU!!! i picture myself in a market place begging anyone that passes by to buy my heart and when no one will purchase it, i start offering it for free.

what am i doing?

i come back to this verse.

I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!!

i am finally understanding my hopelessness without Him.

now i am learning diligence, meditation, endurance, strength,...love.

before i take another step further i must be in love with His word.

who are you giving your heart to?

119.

psalm 119 is moving, encouraging, and finds me right where i am.

lately i find myself returning to this chapter again and again.

i pray that one day i will love the Bible and God's commandments as much as the writer.

10: with my whole heart i seek you; let me not wander from your commandments

11: i have stored up your word in my heart, that i might not sin against you

25: my soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word

27: make me understand the way of you precepts, and i will meditate on your wondrous works

28: my soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word

29: put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law

my soul sings, how i love YOU!
