That's MY King!!!


"I wish I could describe Him to you . . . but He's indescribable. That's my King. He's incomprehensible, He's invincible, and He is irresistible.
I'm coming to tell you this, that the heavens of heavens can't contain Him, let alone some man explain Him. You can't get Him out of your mind. You can't get Him off of your hands. You can't outlive Him and you can't live without Him. The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to agree about Him. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him and the grave couldn't hold Him. That's my King!"
-Dr. S.M. Lockridge



That's my King ♥

Don't worry :)

I just want to take a moment to say

don't worry.


Lately, a lot of things have been going on that I could have worried about. And... I did. A *little bit* ;)
But you know what? Everything I worried about turned out better than I could have even hoped. I feel SO blessed!


I've heard a quote that says something like, "Worrying doesn't help tomorrow, but it brings down the joy of today".
That's so true. Worrying doesn't help anything, because the Lord already has a plan for you! Not just for today, but for the rest of your life.

So don't worry. Just trust the Lord.



 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 
 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:25-34

So don't worry. The Lord will take care of you. Just trust in Him with all your heart.

God bless you!

♥love♥

I love... love. Lots of love.



I love Jesus... And I pray that I will love Him more with every breath I take.

I love stars... because they remind me how small I am, and how big God is.




I love this beautiful post by Lauren here... and you should definitely go read it!


I love babies... even when they are crying, and especially when they are smiling.



I love my family ♥


I love big, old books... whole libraries of big, old books!


I love good movies... particularly when they make me laugh and cry!

Music♥

 Music is what feelings sound like.  ~Author Unknown

I love music- sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes with a strong, steady beat; with or without lyrics.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.  ~Ronald Reagan

♥Music is love in search of a word.♥

Unfortunately, this video is disabled for embedding, so you should go ahead and watch it on youtube!! It's such a beautiful song!!!

Needtobreathe is my new favorite band. I love their "southern gospel" style!


If you LOVED that song, listen to "Something Beautiful" and "Lay 'em Down" too!

God bless!

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.  ~Victor Hugo

Yes, our God is merciful.
For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling!
