the missing in action

Wow, I haven't blogged in a very long time....and so much has happened!

2011 came to a brilliant and show-stopping finale.

October - I celebrated my new chapter of life as a married woman with some of my most loved ladies in the whole world at my bridal shower and bachelorette party! It was a fabulous! Huge thanks to my mom, my best friend, and my girls for making it so memorable.



November - I said "I do" to the man of my dreams and escaped to the beaches of Jamaica for a romantic honeymoon.




December - My husband embarked on a 70 deployment. My parents came to New Jersey to spend Christmas and New Years with me! We watched the ball drop in Time Square to celebrate the New Year. Megan, one of my dearest and oldest friends, came to visit me and we spent 2 days in New York City to see the Broadway show of Wicked!





2012 has a lot to live up to if it's supposed to top 2011!
READY. SET. GO!

the idea

I am in a revelational season of life.

I have a vision of the path; God is in the process of paving it and slowly revealing it to me.

From what I can see in my dreams...it's breath-taking.

I have an idea of what I want, God gave me the idea and His plan is too perfect not to follow.

He will unveil it all when the time is just right.

For now, I'm so blessed to blow where the wind takes me.

And lucky for me the wind has pick me up and placed me in the arms of the man I love.

Anywhere He goes....let me go too!

the thought of the day

I AM A CHILD OF GOD, BORN BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH; 
WHO DREAMS DREAMS AND PLAYS IN THE RAIN. 
ALL THE WHILE, LISTENING TO THE SOUND OF 
THE FATHER'S VOICE IN MY HEART.

I AM A WOMAN. 
I AM ECLECTIC, PASSIONATE, MYSTERIOUS, WILD, GENTLE, LOVING & DEVOTED.

I ENJOY CURLING UP WITH A GOOD BOOK BY THE LAKE. 
I ENJOY SITTING BY A CRACKLING FIRE AND DRINKING HOT COCO.
 I ENJOY LAYING IN AN OPEN FIELD AND SEEING WHAT SHAPES THE CLOUDS MAKE. I SMILE WHEN GOD MAKES A FUNNY ONE JUST FOR ME. 
I OFTEN GAZE UP AT THE MOON AND THE STARS. 
I AM FILLED WITH AWE AT HOW AMAZING GOD IS AND THAT HE, WHO FASHIONED ALL THINGS, LOVES ME WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE.

the fear


"He will shield you with his wings" 
- Pslam 91:4. 

Trade all your fears for faith in Him, 

no matter what kind of fear it may be.

the heart

it's remarkable how much love a heart can hold.

it's also amazing how much pain it can carry.

the heart can survive through some of the most traumatic experiences.

it still fights to stay alive. 

it's the life line. 

you might think that your heart is just another working organ inside your body, 
but it is so much more.

it is an organ of fire. 

with every beat, which is generally 70-80 beats per minute, it is constantly supplying blood and oxygen to all parts of the body, even the brain, which is another fascinating organ.

"The brain gives the heart it's sight. The heart gives the brain its vision."

it is pumping, pulling, fueling, contracting, expanding and distributing the proper ratio of vital materials that our bodies need to function. 
why so much passion?

without it our bodies would shut down and die.

the heart works with an "all or nothing" mentality. Each time it contracts it uses all it's force, barely resting before it surges more blood and oxygen through our veins.

the Right and Left Atrium work in perfect harmony to nourish every cell within our body.

it's amazing!


we serve an awesome God, who created all things. 
we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

thank you Lord, for making me so amazingly complex.

only You know my heart. it is Yours. it is on fire for You.
my heart overflows with love for you and you shed your blood for my soul.

the greatest measurement of love is sacrifice. 

and when there is heartache, the heart is the only broken instrument that can still work.

 God is closest to those who have broken hearts. He is the only one who can heal them.
and even when we break God's heart. He loves us, again, and again, and again. 

Thank God, for you unconditional love.

the life

Whom have I in heaven but You?
I desire more than anything on earth.
My flesh and heart may fail, 
but God remains the strength of my heart;
He is mine forever.
Those who are far from You will perish;
for You destroy those who abandon You.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, 
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful 
things You do. 

-Psalm 73:25-28

Life comes only from the Lord.
Through the Word of the Lord and from His Holy Spirit.

To live life completely, and to it's full potential,
 we need to be near the One who create it. 
The One who breathed the breath of life into us.

Our life is His.

When we live a life apart from God, 
we are not experiencing fullness. 
We are missing the wonderful things that God
wishes to show us.
We are not walking with Him.
We are not living to our full potential.
We are dead inside.

It is God's word, through The Bible, that can replenish our soul.
It is God's Holy Spirit that lives in us and gives us each day.

Without these, we are are not truly living. 

In order to experience life...we need to experience God, through Christ's love. 

It is only then, that we can begin to live. 
Shed the sin of the past and become a new creation.
