I really need A LOT of grace from God with school right now. It just keeps getting worse. I definitely can't handle it on my own. Nothing is more discouraging in my life with Christ than school. I hate it so much. I don't have any motivation to try anymore. I hate having the burden of school. But I completely blame myself and my bad habits ( Read more... )

I have NEVER felt so many butterflies in my stomach as I did last night when I was with Tom. Even when I just looked at him I got butterflies, it was ridiculous.

We have to give ( Read more... )

John21:25-"Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that ever the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."

I love Tom Hansen. I am convinced that there is no godlier man than Thomas Michael Hansen. How did I get so lucky and blessed? I totally don't deserve him in any way. You know all those cheesy Christian poems and phrases and quotes there are that say God has the one planned for you and that he/she will be more amazing than you could ever hope ( Read more... )

But there is only one thing that brings comfort, and that is having Christ in your life. It doesn't necessarily make things easier because ever ( Read more... )

Pretty much since last thursday life has been tough for me, but I saw it all coming like a tidal wave. I have seen God be glorified so much through it all. That's the only thing that matters. I don't care if I'm getting my ace kicked by Satan with all sorts of crap because my life is not my own. Its God's, and I love that more than I can say. ( Read more... )

I don't even know what to say. It's all so hard.
