So it's been brought to my attention that I have never, in my bagillion years of being a Christian, read the entire Bible. This is the book, the words, that I live and die for and I haven't spent the time to ever read the entire thing??.....not okay.
I am a youth leader....(i know what you're thinking, "they trust her with the youth?" haha yepp.) and one of my students/"sister" haha has decided to read the Bible in 90 days. These high schoolers are kickin my butt! haha
90 days from now I will have read the Bible cover to cover....woof. I can't wait!
I die to myself every day.

It's not about me.
So I have started in on my new life of being single for a year...I'm one week in.
I'm not one to blog about me me me but I know that God is going to do amazing things in my life this next year and I want to write about Him. You see, it's not about me at all. And this is what this next year is about...dying to myself.
Life became so much easier when I realized it's not about me at all. Please don't misunderstand me. My definition of easy is not what most people would say is easy. By easy I mean, simple. I have one purpose. I have one reason to wake up in the morning. I have one goal. I have one God, The Only God, The God of the Universe, to live for. You see it's that simple. As long as I do His will I can rest assured that I am doing the right thing.
I will mess up. I will fail. But that's what my God is all about. He's all about my epic fails. He isn't surprised when I do dumb things. He is there waiting for me to realize how dumb I just was...waiting there with nothing but beautiful unending grace.
This next year is all about me falling more and more in love with the God of the Universe who loves me so much that He sent His SON to die for....ME??? This next year is all about me bringing glory to the God that doesn't make any sense but is the only thing that makes sense to me.
God, use me.
