You know what I like about you guys, tumblr followers? I like your appreciation for the little things. Every time I’m about to post something on Facebook, I seem to stop and wonder “does anyone on here really care?” But! Here in this cozy little cyber-corner, I am elated, for I know that tumblr is for the lighthearted and the beautiful. That’s why I like this so much....

God is the Best Author
I wrote this in my journal today and have been thinking about it all day, so I’m sharing. (:
This dawned on me during the first couple hours of the day: People expect grand adventures, magical miracles, and breath-taking romance in fairy tale stories. But how much more amazing is it when we truly find these things in real life?
I’ve learned that just about anyone can make life seem...
God works in the most amazing ways! I’ve spent the evening texting with my friend Jessica. Her family adopted two sweet kids from the orphanage that my family started in Port au Prince, Haiti. And though I’ve spent hours holding her Haitian siblings in an orphanage, I’ve never met Jessica! However, we’ve been talking to each other through snail mail letters and Facebook...

excerpt from “Radical” by David Platt
Here’s the thing: I have negative feelings toward Christmas. I don’t get giddy about the day. I’m an Easter girl, myself. The idea seems nice, but I’m just not feeling it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jesus’ Birthday. I believe the whole story of His birth according to the Bible, and I find it riveting and beautiful. I would give so much to have seen that...

Tonight, I felt like a princess. With my hair in neat curls (in contrast to my unruly curly waves), under the spotlight, a bow in my hand, cello against my chest, I felt like I had all the music in the universe on my finger tips. The double basses started, then the violins chimed in. Four measures later, I ran my bow against my strings and let an D note ring. It was marvelous. Music was...
It's times like these . . .
… When I wish that I had more girl friends. I see these girls and girls on TV who live their whole childhood with a special best friend. Two girls go through elementary school, middle school, and high school together —- talking, laughing, giggling, and just having fun through everything life throws at them together. They share everything: clothes, hair tips, music, heartbreak, and...
