"Paul's idea of service was to pour out his life to the last drop for others. And whether he received praise or blame made no difference." --Oswald Chambers

This blog is simply about what the Lord has put on my heart lately, being bold. 

We are not called to live lives of complacency, which is BEYOND easy in "Bible-belt America." We are COMMANDED to live lives that are full of truth, blatant truth... I mean think about it, when was the last time YOU shared the straight Gospel with someone? Can't remember, I sure couldn't. So, I'm changing that. I want to be like Jesus and Paul. Whether there is praise or blame, I care not(or am at least giving it an effort).

Matthew 28:20

"...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, as a ransom for many."

One last thing that can sort of tie in, but is simply just on my heart to share is the fact that everyone know what Philippians 4:13 says, but no one knows the verse before it... it makes it all the more beautiful.

Philippians 4:12-13

"I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I HAVE LEARNED THE SECRET OF BEING CONTENT IN ANY AND EVERY SITUATION, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or want. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Contentment has been a struggle for me and one that the Lord has dramatically grown me in. I love seeing the desires of my heart change... I CAN AND AM CONTENT IN THE LORD. 

goodnight... L

I'm NOT your biggest fan.

The one word I despise the most right now... FORMAL.

Why do we create such things? I mean I know why, but it really just makes people freak out and feel crummy about themselves (well I guess you are the one that truly makes yourself feel that way, but hey, it sure ain't helpin'). I really have no good male friends that I want to spend a whole weekend with. Honestly at this point in the opposite sex relationships I possess, it would all be horribly awkward. 

I am really okay with NOT going, but "NOOOOOO," cry the people, "YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!" Why do I have to go? My mom told me today, that I needed to go, and that she would pray for me to find a date. HAHAAAA... I love her. 

It's kind of strange, this whole boys and college thing. Everyone says, "They will be everywhere, wait until college to date, its SO much better." I have not found this to be true. They are not so much better, they are actually worse. All of the boys I meet are not worth my time. I really think it must be me, or a closed door that God has on my heart. Don't think I am trying to pity myself, because the truth is, that is okay with me. I don't want to get hurt again and I don't want to waste my time. 

Back to the subject of this 'rambly' blog. I know that I can go to formal with a "guy friend," but I simply don't want to. I just want to be left alone, formal free. 

Okay, done be cynical. It's late... I'll just sleep on it.
