"Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near."
I am in a funk, and I have been for a while.
As I sit on my bed writing this post I am having trouble getting started. My heart feels very far away. Writing has always helped me find my way back to where I should be, so I decided to give it a go.
I wonder how my life got to this point. Last summer I was on fire. I mean, I was thriving in the Word and in the Lord. Now, I feel distant, and I am having a hard time getting back to Him. I have a serious wall up, and I have no idea how to even begin tearing it down.
The lyrics at the beginning of the post are to a song you probably already know called "Draw Me Close to You." I so appreciate the truth of those lyrics. I need to be reminded that the Lord is supreme. He is steadfast, loving, jealous, faithful, and eagerly waiting for me to return.
A friend shared an incredible youtube video with me not long ago featuring a man named Brennan Manning. In the video he begins speaking about things that the Lord has taught him "in the 48 years since he was first ambushed by Jesus." He says that he believes that when we stand before God at Judgment He is going to ask us this one question: "Did you believe that I loved you? That I desired you. That I waited for you day after day. That I longed to hear the sound of your voice." He goes on to say that some people will be able to stand before Him and say, "Yes, Lord. I believe those things." But, he continues, others will have to stand before the Lord God Almighty and answer: "Well, no sir. I mean, I heard a lot of lovely sermons about your love, and in fact, I gave a few myself. But, I was never truly able to believe it."
At this point I find myself leaning toward the latter response. I know He loves me, but it is so hard to believe sometimes. I am filthy and undeserving and fickle and unreliable. Yet I am forgiven and precious and loved and desired and a treasure in His eyes. A love like that is so foreign and completely ridiculous in the world's terms, but it is a love and relationship that humans were created to long for, and as the song says, "You are my desire / no one else will do." What beauty and truth are found in those lines!
Lord, I cannot even fathom your love. Thank you for lavishing me, an undeserving sinner, with such an extravagant gift. Please "help me find a way / bring me back to You."
Man, I feel better already.
"The Lord's love never ends; His mercies never stop. They are new every morning; Lord, your loyalty is great. I say to myself, 'The Lord is mine, so I hope in Him.'" -Lamentations 3:22-24

It All Started With a Movie...
I never thought a Lifetime movie would ever generate a blog post...
Today my roommate, friend, and I all watched The Pregnancy Pact. Talk about wild. That movie deals with a lot of serious issues. Every commercial we would press pause and discuss topics like abortion, contraceptive, parent involvement, media boundaries, adolescent desires--you name it, we talked about it. It was a pretty intense movie. However, the scene that really got to me was at the very end of the movie, and it lasted about 5 seconds. You see one of the pregnant teens sitting in the school courtyard, and the father of her child walks up from behind. Only, he passes her by. He is actually walking to meet his new girlfriend who is sitting on an adjacent bench. That scene was heart wrenching. It was the most painful part of the entire movie.
After that scene I just wanted to curl into a ball and cry. I remember being 15 thinking I was going to marry my high school boyfriend. I remember the feeling I got in my stomach every time I heard something about him and his new girlfriend. I remember coming across old photos of us and being reminded that there was a time when he loved me, too. I remember everything.
But this post isn't just about me because everyone has a story.
Last night I was at work, and I ended up having two deep conversations with two different customers. One was a 55 year old man. He comes in with his family for dinner quite often, but this time he was alone. After I served him his dinner he began telling me about his life and family. His two oldest children received full scholarships to college, and in an effort to help his youngest achieve his dream of playing college baseball, transferred from a private to public high school his senior year. And apparently, that took quite a toll on them both. Not everyone understood their decision, and as a result they both lost a lot of friends. People they thought they could count on ended up letting them down. So, as a 55 year old man and a 18 year old senior in high school, they are both having to start over. You don't think of having to pick up and start new at either time in life. However, his son was voted team captain, and the new school has welcomed him and his family with open arms. It hasn't turned out so bad after all.
Another was a woman who I guess was in her mid to late 50's as well. She made a to-go order, and waited at the bar until it was ready. While she waited she began asking me about school and what I wanted to do after graduation. I told her that my major is Print Journalism, and that I have a lot of things on my bucket list. I began telling her how I wanted to be a youth pastor, how I would love to be a writer, how I might even like to be a professor one day. Then she began telling me about her life. She was a stay at home mom for 20 years until her husband passed away, leaving her without a spouse, her children without a father, and their family without a source of income. During a time when her and her husband should be sending their children off to college and happily preparing themselves for life with just the two of them, she is having to find a way to make ends meet alone. So, she goes back to school. It must have been scary to enter a classroom again so much later in life, but she did. And she graduated. She is now working in the art department at JSU, and loving it!
My heartbreak and rebuilding is so much a part of my life and my story. It has played a major role in shaping who I am, for better and for worse. There are times when it seems like I will never again endure anything that will impact me so much. Sometimes I feel like no one else has had such a life changing experience as mine, and it is in those moments that I am convicted of my own self-centeredness. All too often I buy in to my own personal fable, but at that time I have to take a step back from myself and consider the countless others who have something powerful to say. The two people I met last night proved that to me.
We were created so that with God, nothing is too big to overcome. Life can seems like a war that is impossible to win, but it isn't. Our hearts get hurt, we lose friends and loved ones, and sometimes we have to pick up the pieces of something that shouldn't even be broken in the first place. But what I've learned is that pain is ok. More times than not it's good. Life can be hard, confusing, and hurtful, but, as believers, we have already won!

Nugs
There are few things in life I love more than a good nug. What is a nug? It is short for the word nugget, and a term my college friends and I use when we find a good scripture or quote. Whenever we would find one we would tell each other that we had a nugget for everyone, and over time it got shortened to nug. Here are a few nugs for everyone: :)
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
-C.S. Lewis
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:13
"Don't just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good."

You hope that someday Prince Charming will sweep you off your feet and take you to 'Happily Ever After.' God is romancing you. Day and night, he pursues you, demonstrating his love for you. You want flowers? He created them. Love letters? Read his word. To know you're worthy of love? He sent Jesus to die so you could live happily ever after with him. In more ways than you can imagine, God is tell you that he loves you. Don't miss out!"
-Revolve Devotional Bible
"You will teach me how to live a holy life. Being with you will fill me with joy; at your right hand I will find pleasure forever."
Psalm 16:11
"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or my not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."

Plans
I didn't know who I was supposed to be...at fifteen.
Don't make fun, but Fifteen by Taylor Swift gets me every time. Sometimes I swear she sings about my life. When I was a teenager I was in such a different place than I am now. If someone would have asked me then what my life would look like now I would have told them I was going to go to Berry, become a teacher, and marry my high school boyfriend. I had my life all planned out for myself, and I was comfortable.
My world came crashing down on January 16th 2007 when the love of my life broke up with me over the phone after 3 years of dating. It is now 2009, and almost 3 years later I can still vividly recall the heartbreak like it was yesterday. Being on the phone with him that night was surreal. It was like I was watching this break up scene transpire between someone else, and I was just watching it all happen. It was an out of body experience. I remember sitting on a chair next to my parent's bed thinking that I would never be ok again. The only word I can think to somewhat describe how I felt is despair. Food lost its taste, music became dull, and eventually everything that I had once found pleasing became boring and sad. I was so broken, and I had no idea where to begin picking up the pieces.
Robert Frost once said, "In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on." My life went on after January 16th. It was the second semester of my senior year and it was time to decide what college I was going to attend. I hadn't given college much thought until my junior year when an older friend of mine told me she was going to Berry College in Rome, GA. I had never heard of Berry before in my life, but listening to her tell me all about it got me interested. I went to visit her one weekend and fell in love. Berry was everything I could have hoped for in a college and more. The campus was beautiful, the people were friendly, and it was 2 and a half hours away from anything that remotely reminded me of the person who broke my heart. I filled out the application for admission the next week. A majority of students applying for college will, in addition to applying to their first choice school, apply to a safety school. Mine was Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL. I got my acceptance letter from JSU in the mail in October of 2006, and my acceptance notification online from Berry in late January of 2007. It was a no brainer that I was going to Berry, until I got another letter in the mail from JSU in February. The university awarded me a scholarship that would pay for my tuition. After talking to my parents and going on a campus visit, my plans changed again when I enrolled as a student at JSU. If someone would have told me earlier that year that I would be giving up going to my dream school to attend my safety school I would have thought they were crazy. Turns out it's just life that's crazy.
In August 2007, when I should have been moving to Rome, I was moving to Jacksonville. Even though my high school sweetheart and I were over and I was enrolled at JSU instead of Berry, I still knew I was going to be a teacher one day. I had always felt a calling to ministry, but I never knew what opportunities that had, so I figured teaching would be a good alternative that I would really enjoy. However, the more I learned about teaching the more I realized I did not want any part of it. Lesson plans were boring, creating activities was a pain, I discovered that if I majored in education I would be spending my life doing something I hated, and I could not stand to live like that. Five majors later I decided on English, and after obtaining my undergrad I hope to become a youth pastor and possibly go to seminary.
My best friend told me last night that God laughs at plans. My life is the perfect example of that sentiment. When I was fifteen I had it all planned out, but God had something different in mind. Now, my life could not be more different than what I thought it would be back then. Everything got turned upside down, and it was hard to accept. I spent a lot of time being angry that my plans got messed with instead of embracing God's changes. Everyday I am seeing Him execute His plan for me in my life, and while sometimes it is still painful, I know the ending will be better than anything I could have ever planned for myself.
"Lord, I know that our lives don't really belong to us. We don't have what it takes to take charge of life. So correct us, God, as you see best." -Jeremiah 10:23-24

R & B
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but my friends really are superior to everybody elses.
I have two very close friends from high school. One I met my sophomore year at the very first basketball practice at a local high school when we both transferred to Mill Creek from two different schools. We realized that we had a few mutual friends, and from then on we became friends. We went on vacations together, attended small group together, played basketball together, and really got to know each other. One thing I learned about her was that she had absolutely no interest in any of the guys from our high school. She knew exactly what she wanted in a guy, and she wasn't going to settle. She would tell our small group the things she desired in a boyfriend, and we all joked that we couldn't wait to meet the man she was going to marry because we didn't think a guy that perfect existed! We graduated high school, went to college, and one day during our sophomore year I logged on to Facebook and learned that she was in a relationship. I could not believe it! I quickly sent her a private message hoping to learn more about this guy. She told me all about him, and I was so excited for her. She sounded so happy, and he sounded great! Then, in mid September I get a text message from her, and it is a picture of a ring. She got engaged! She was the first one of us from high school to get engaged. I haven't met her fiance yet, but from what I've been told he is an amazing man. Not to mention he is a lucky man to be engaged to one of the most beautiful, sincere, kind, and true friends I have ever had. I could not be more happy for her!
Now, there is another friend I have from high school. I did not like her at all, and the feeling was mutual. I thought she was the meanest girl I had ever met, and she thought I was the most annoying person on the planet. We met playing basketball our freshman year, and later transferred to Mill Creek our sophomore year. However, it wasn't until our senior year when we became best friends. I am not going to divulge the details on how we became friends because it is super lame, but literally one day we decided we were going to become "attached at the hip", and we have been ever since. I have never had a friend like her before. She is ultra smart, so gorgeous, really goofy, and, to top it off, the most honest person I have ever known. When we went to college she was at the end of a pretty serious relationship, but it wasn't long after the semester began that she met someone. One Thursday night she invited me to her sorority's formal, and even though our colleges are two hours away I hopped in the car and drove to see her. While we were getting ready she was telling me about a guy she met, and she told me that we were going to hang out with him later that night. After the formal (which was so fun, by the way) we stepped outside the house and there he was, walking down the street to meet us. I remember how excited she was to see him. The rest of the night we spent hanging out with each other laughing and just having a great time. They began dating, and as my friendship with my best friend grew, so did my friendship with him, and he is an awesome guy. A few weeks ago I got a text message from my friend telling me that she just picked out an engagement ring. She is not engaged yet, but I have a feeling she will be soon. Talk about pumped! I cannot believe my best friend is about to get engaged, but I am so super thrilled for her!
I am so thankful for these two girls that God has placed in my life and for the men that God has placed in theirs. I hope you girls know how much I love you and how excited I am for you as your lives continue forward. I know you won't be getting married for a while, but I am still so happy for you and I cannot wait to watch you walk down the aisle. :)

Soon
I know it has been a while since I've written a decent post, but my heart is too full to write anything too long tonight. It is incredible how present God is and how quickly he responds to those who call on Him. I'm hoping for a hearty post on Saturday. I have a lot to write on an incredible Comforter.
