 "God is smiling over us tonight 
God is smiling over us tonight 
Where hearts are broken, love unites 
God is smiling..."

Well, God is certainly very good.
I can barely believe some of the things He's been doing in my life. 
I'm awestruck.
How great is our God!

God has really been revealing some incredible things to me.
Bringing some amazing people into ( Read more... )

 Another installment of Things On Olivia's Mind...

1) College has SUCKED so far. haha I mean, I know it's God's will for me (at least for now), and I know it's part of His plan for me, and part of me is excited. But it's SO much money. In the back of my mind, I know God will provide for me and my family, not only financially, but in all aspects of ( Read more... )

 I have been cheating myself.

I wish I could say that now that I've realized it, I'll stop doing it forever.

But I've said that before.

I can't be what you think you want.

Nor can I be what you probably think you need.

But most importantly,

You aren't what I'll ever need or want.

And it's time I accept that.

Well, I figured that I would go into a slightly in-depth recap of my missions trip to Chicago.
And, as of 9:33 PM, I feel like writing.
So we'll see how long this lasts.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into the trip.
It was going to be different from anything I had done, and that made me nervous.
I'm a self-proclaimed control freak, so you can only ( Read more... )

 "Jesus, You have called us, Freely we've received, Now freely we will give, We must go... Live to feed the hungry, Stand beside the broken, We must go... Stepping forward, Keep us from just singing, Move us into action, We must go..."

So I just got back from Chicago.
It was amazing.
On sooooo many levels.

I serve an incredible God.
A God stronger than ( Read more... )

Well, this has been a pretty good summer so far.
Life has been boring, but I'm enjoying it.
There's something enticing about not having anything planned.
I think that's why I like summer.
Though I need a job pretty bad,
I will admit it's been nice.
Throughout the school year,
I have every second of my life planned.
And it get very old very quickly.
That's ( Read more... )

Well, I'll just share ( Read more... )

Well, Michael Jackson passed away yesterday.
He passed away from cardiac arrest.
Of course, it's sad.
The highest-selling music artist of all time
Suddenly passes away.
But for some reason, I'm really sad.
It sounds ridiculous, I know.
Even I think I sound weird.
I'm not one of those crazy Michael Jackson fans.
I do love his music, but that's as far as it ( Read more... )

Life has been so weird lately.
I'm realizing a lot of things.
Which sounds so dumb.
Because I hate when people act all intellectual when they aren't.
Or try to be all philosophical when they spew bologna.

But really, I guess a lot of this stuff has been a long time coming.
I'm making decisions on my own,
choosing who I want in my life,
spending my time ( Read more... )
