I finally found some time

to sit down and write.

There's a lot more on my mind, but I'll just share with ya'll a little bit.


If this weekend at Lua Linh camp showed me anything at all about myself, it is that I still have a long way to go.


"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." -Psalm 139:23-24


I am a sinner. My selfishness has no end.



We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
Romans 7:14-20


This weekend reminded me how MUCH I need JESUS. The passage above shows that no matter how hard I try to do good, to be good.. to be a good Christian, a leader, a role model, daughter, friend, sister.. I will always fail.

I need You, Jesus. Apart from You, I am lost. Thank You for giving Your life in place of mine, Your blood instead of mine. Thank You for making me new and perfect in God's eyes.

Thank You for redeeming me.


If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
