love love love.

So, no matter what I say, 

what I believe, 

and what I do, 

I'm 

b  a  n  k  r  u  p  t 

without love. 

Love never gives up.

love cares more for others than for self.

love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

love doesn't strut,

doesn't have a swelled head,

doesn't force itself on others,

isn't always "me first,"

doesn't fly off the handle,

doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

doesn't revel when others grovel,

takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

puts up with anything,

trusts God always,

always looks for the best,

never looks back,

but keeps going to the end, 

Love never dies.

- 1 Corinthians 3:4-7

Life, at this point, has never been so good. but so crazy and different and stressful. i'm just so confused and ecstatic at the weirdness and beauty of it all; i'm almost finished school, praise the sweet sweet Lord. 

next year looks enticing - no matter what it'll bring, what i'll be doing, who i'll be meeting - i know God'll be all over it and i'll be loving it. 

i seriously have a million and one options with a million and one questions to go along with them:

i discovered this incredible incredible company in California called The Cana Family

option #1946357852: http://www.canavp.com/ 
and with a little more digging, snooping and stalking, i found this little project they've got going: http://www.halleproject.org/
then i fell over. what. the. heck. i believe i just found my heart's desire for my future.

it's pretty much summer. hallelujah.

bad memory.

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; 

he will never leave you nor forsake you. 

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. 

- Deuteronomy 31:8

While i forget - have a really bad, habitual case of memory loss - my God has us on His mind 100% of the time.

Like when i forget i have a blog.

There's a hope and desire inside every heart that someone would 

pay them attention, 

remember them, 

recognize their voice, their face, 

their change in tone and 

the way they smile.

That's why we live, why we're here for such a time as this:

to restore hope, pay attention, love and nurture and care

for the lives where it seems like the rest of the world has

FORGOTTEN.
