"It is our obligation, as people created and owned by God, to give him the honor and glory that is due to him, to live and speak and act and think in a way that recognizes and acknowledges his authority over us. We are made by him, owned by him, dependent on him, and therefore accountable to him."

 - What is the Gospel " Greg Gilbert"

"I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

- Hebrews 8: 10

The verse and the quote may have nothing to do with eachother but I enjoyed them both! Have a happy night!

Why I chose to blog today

Well the snow was still here when I woke up today! So beautiful! I really just wanted to post this picture which is why I chose to blog today. I think today I'll leave you with some beautiful verses that I have been reading recently in my time with the Lord.

"He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature and he upholds the universe by the word of his power."  -- Hebrews 1:3

"Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another everyday, as long as it is called "today" that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end." -- Hebrews 3:12- 14

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." -- Hebrews 4: 15-16

Aren't they so wonderful? I honestly cannot remember a time when I was going through Hebrews and thinking, " Man, this stuff is so powerful and so necessary for me to know and try to memorize." My favorite verse out of all of these was the one talking about exhorting one another daily. That verse has been on my mind everyday since I read it and I feel this urge to try to encourage at least one person everyday. It's been kinda neat. Well hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It snowed in Denton today! In fact, the snow is still here and I'm hoping it stays... FOREVER! Just kidding. But I really do enjoy the snow. Anyways, I don't have much to say because I was planning on typing in some quotes I've heard at Church the past two weeks. Here they are..

" Doing external activities that have to do with God is not the same as loving, knowing and worshipping Christ."

"If we're not careful we'll begin digging for tools and not treasure." (on having goals but not wanting Christ)

"Jesus died while you were at your worst."

"The power of the gospel is the destruction to shameful memories."

"No one accidentally becomes godly. You toil. You strive. You work to find Treasure." (God)

"Sin destroys everything it touches. You were washed, sanctified, and justified."

Have a ridiculously awesome day!

7 slices of pizza

Well yesterday I came to Allen to visit and stay over at my friend Alyssa's house. Yesterday we did a little shopping which was pretty exciting and we played this really fun game called "Bananas." It's a bit like scrabble but, not. Today has been really grand. Woke up, watched some Criminal Minds, then 

Alyssa and I headed to Dallas to see Brad, his sister, bro in law, and world's cutest baby, Asher.

I'm super excited about this upcoming weekend because we may be expecting SNOW!!!! Yep. Texas and the crazy weather. Gotta love it! Oh! I also ate a whole box of pizza all by myself the other day. I know that was a little randomness right there but I was pretty impressed.

I would like to leave you with this wonderful verse that comes from the best book known to man. 

"He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power." - Hebrews 1:3 

Have a beautiful day!

TOMS (One for One)

Today was quite lovely. I woke up around noon, talked to Brad, and we decided to meet up at Logan's Roadhouse in Lewisville to eat lunch! I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for both of us to wear our newest addition of Tom shoes and take pictures of them.

I now have the white and red Toms and Brad has white, olive and brown. We are huge Toms fans.

After we finished our little photo shoot with our new shoes, we went our separate ways and headed back to our homes. Today was a rather wonderful day. My heart was kinda jumpy and I began reading in Hebrews- chapter 1- and it was so peaceful for me to take in. I wish more days were like this. 

Well, I'm pretty excited about tomorrow, my schedule consists of watching Sister Act and Madea Goes to Jail with my roomies. I'm pretty excited. I am a HUGE Tyler Perry fan and I think his movies are just great! I'm actually going to leave you with a quote from Madea Goes to Jail..

Madea: Cora do me a favor. 

Cora: What?
Madea: Put the shut, to the up. Okay? Shut to the up. 

Happy 2011!

It's been almost a month since I last wrote in my blog! This is what my december basically looked like..

 My sister's graduation...

After graduation, we headed towards Brownwood to see my dad's family...

We left Brownwood and my parents and I dropped Julie off at the Austin airport to head back home in NYC. My parents and I then headed home to Brownsville.

Here are a few good friends of mine from back home...

(Faith and Taylor)

It was such a great and relaxing break! I enjoyed being home seeing family and friends! I was able to eat lots of tacos, beans, yummy, legit tortillas and many slices of pumpkin pie! Ah, to live by the border means great food ALL THE TIME!

On December 31st, I flew back to Dallas to spend New Year's with Brad. We had so much fun and the following day, we decided to make a music video. Check it out by clicking here!

Well hopefully now that I'm back home, I will be blogging more often! Hope everyone had a wonderful 2010 and an even better 2011!
