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.

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?
