if You had made us immune to attraction-

- speak one's mind-

a quiet symphony.
one of heart,
a soft warm billowing sound
one of light,
a rosy yellow glow
one that gives a new perspective
and time
one that is content to
just be
just be


just be

• "If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
• Beauty is not democratic; she reveals herself more to the few than to the many…
• The true enjoyments must be spontaneous and compulsive and look to no remoter end.
• We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God.

• "Prostitutes are in no danger of finding their present life so satisfactory that they cannot turn to God: the proud, the avaricious, the self-righteous, are in that danger."
• If naturalism were true then all thoughts whatever would be wholly the result of irrational causes. It cuts its own throat

and I'm learning not to worry. 




because there is no need. 


and I'm learning how to walk on, 
trusting Him to go before me, 
to go beside me, 
to go surrounding me. 



and its something beautiful. 


'But we must risk-
 because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing'



you be caught, you've got to fall. 

what if everything does happen for a reason? 

theres a couple things going on in my life right now that's really testing my faith in whether or not that's true.

whats the purpose in this? 

how can God be glorified in this?

and then i think about what God has already done,

and how beyond myself He is. 

and i feel small, 

like i'm looking up at the starry night 

remembering that the sun is just another average star.

and that the earth is just one of thousands of planets out there

and that there's 9 billion people on the earth, 

as numerous as the stars in the heavens.

and suddenly, my problems don't seem so 

GINORMOUS 

anymore,

instead they feel small

and i feel safe 

knowing that i'm small

because God is bigger than the heavens

God is beyond my comprehension

and i've decided i can rest in that

 thats one reason i'm a space junkie. 

because it makes me feel small.

and that;s the reason why i love thunderstorms

it's something so beyond my control, 

so beyond myself

SO BEYOND MYSELF. 

 

<starry night- chris august>

ohoh, we need each other. 
Rabbi, you're teaching me. 
please let me to love as You have first loved us. 
YOU HAVE FIRST LOVED US.
you laid down your life for your brothers. 
Jesus, let how i love reflect Your love for us, 
glorify Yourself, Lord God ALMIGHTY. 

i need people in my life to challenge me. 
keep me accountable. 
i'm learning that its such a blessing. 
really, it is SUCH a blessing. 
<psalm 141:5> it is an oil upon my head.
so if there's the odd chance that theres someone out there reading my blog, 
if you feel that God is leading you to say something, 
say it

we need each other. 

                      PROVERBS 18:1,2

Whoever ^(A)isolates himself seeks his own desire;
    he breaks out against all sound judgment.

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
    but only ^(B)in expressing his opinion.

soo convicting. 

life at the present

a season of following through. 

what's my motive? motive 1, motive 2

Jesus be my first love

you are not your past, those chains are gone. 

what you do to others, you are also doing to Me. 

made to crave

what's beauty?

break these chains Father,

You're the only one who can

can't, can't wait till camp. 

being surrounded 24 hours a day is really taxing, challenging, intense, powerful. by the end your so exhausted, both physically and mentally. its so worth it. so worth it. 

King Jesus we love you, for we have been loved. 

the cycle ends here. 

a radical generation. 

through God, anything is possible. 

do you believe that?

what about no more mean girls. 

do you believe that it is possible?

what about no more bullying?

how many times in the bible does Jesus teach us how to pray?

JUST ONCE.

he tells us to pray like this:

Our Father, who art in heaven

hallowed by thy name

your kingdom come, 

your will be done,

ON EARTH, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day  our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses- 

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

FOR THYNE IS THE KINGDOM, THE POWER, AND THE GLORY. 

forever and ever, amen.

Your kingdom come ... on earth, as it is in heaven. 

.. God's kingdom.

God's kindgom is perfect. 

God's kingdom is intensely amazing,

immensely radical. 

where God's kingdom is, there is no indifference.

where God's kingdom is, there is no fear.

where God's kingdom is, GOD IS. 

YOU are everything good, everything perfect. 

Lord, YOUR kingdom come on earth, as it is in heaven. 

TO YOU BE THE GLORY~

life is good. 
really, it is. 

don't agree with relying on medicine. 
there's a verse in the bible that runs along the lines of 'unless God builds, a builder builds in vain'
i believe its the same with healing, and medicine. unless God heals you, you're attempts are in vain. 

right now i'm feeling like i'm back where i started. 

during class we got handed back a bibliography we'd written during the first semester.

instead of making me think about how much i'd grown, how much i've blossomed,

it was shattering.

ONLY YOU CAN UNDO WHAT I"VE BECOME.

OH LORD, YOU'RE THE DIFFERENCE! 

TO YOU BE THE GLORY!

XXXX,

AMEN

Holy Spirit's manifestation. 

breathe in, breathe out. 

to YOU be the glory, O LORD

my prayer:

___Sun & Moon - Phil Wickham___ 

i was so blessed to have seen Phil Wickham live in concert last weekend. His love for the LORD is evident in each and every song. 

what are some lyrics that totally speak to you, 

or maybe, speak for you?

HIS LOVE WILL LAST FOREVER <3

Holy Spirit, who do i speak to today?

the victory is YOURS, 

AMEN

wow.

this past weekend i went to a super big christian youth conference about 15 hours away, in a ginormous city down south. God is so great guys, even just a glimpse of His power is overwhelming. in short, this conference was a total life changing experience. 

"its insane how afraid we are of other people" -ryan

Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. ___Matthew 10:28

this weekend i was convicted of this. ^ so much of my life is ruled by fear. i do this out of fear, i don't do this out of fear. it hit me like a bucket of ice water over my head, that i live for fear. 

Lord Jesus, i'm so sorry that i allow fear to consume me. You are greater Lord, you are stronger than any other. Oh Lord, please help my unbelief! thank you Lord God that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without your knowing about it. 

[..........]

amen

what about you guys?

had any OHMEGOODNESS moments recently?

Lord please turn my life upside down and inside out-

for Your glory. 

the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the works of his hands. 

psalms 19:1

amen to that. 

*ps. these are my pictures, so please don't steal.*

"aren't we all just people who share the same experiences? we eat, we sleep, we breathe. why do we allow ourselves to become boxed in to what society tells us to do, tells us is cool. somewhere along the way-it happens. maybe if we stopped worrying so much about ourselves maybe the world would be a better place. Maybe I'm just ultralistic but I believe that we should be able to get along. Why does it have to happen?"

-quoted from a particularly inspiring lecture from my english teacher.

TOO MUCH NOISE. 


what is noise?
really, what is noise?


this is the dictionaries definition: 
noise: 1. a sound, esp. one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance. 


right now i'm asking you to defy the dictionary, go against the flow. 


to me, noise can be quiet. it can be even inaudible. 
sometimes the loudest noise going on in my life are my thoughts. 


noise: 1. a sound, esp. one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance. 


but disturbance from what?
what is the noise in your life disturbing you from?

what can you do to silence the noise?

hi. i'm jaune.
and you must be? c:
before i officially start blogging

you should know a mite about me..

1. i'm writing this blog for my Father's glory.
2. i'm so far from perfect. just putting that out there. 
3. making memories is my favorite pastime. c:
4. i'm a very contradictory person. ie. i'm all for both vintage and modern. i'm both messy and clean. 
5. mustaches, llama's, yellow and the lone tree have a special place in my heart. 
6. my family is totally weird. so i guess i inherited it. 
7. i'd like to believe i'll be doing missions work after bible college. but i know my Father's will for my life is always best, so ima leave my dreams editable.
8. vee bands switchfoot, anthem lights *squeee*, audio adrenaline and franscesca battistelli are my most played artists on my iPod. 
9. i dwell in a land of buffalos. in a place that many would inquire of whether or not we inhabit normal houses. stereotypes, pssh. 
10. i want this blog to be a place where one can feel completely free to share what's going on in their life. 
prayer requests, questions, love notes from Jesus, thought snippets on life-
whatever. this blog is not for me.
