part of me hopes my mother doesn't read this.

i'm pretty darn sure of what i'm getting for my next tattoo.

it's gonna be beautiful.

i may have ripped off one of my long-time friends by stealing the inspiration she used for her first tattoo,

but i have a feeling she won't mind. 

i refuse to disclose any further details,

however,

if you happen to follow me on pinterest you might get a little teaser.

in the meantime, i'll give you a hint.

(a.k.a. the inspiration.)

-Psalm 118:5-

"In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free."

xoxo.

i'll always have you, just like a tattoo.

thanks jordin sparks.
i don't even know where to begin with this post. i don't even know why i haven't said anything about it yet. some people find it hard to talk about their faith in fear of being challenged or mocked by others. but i just want to talk about my relationship with Christ. He's so amazing to me. so so amazing. i feel like sometimes i forget how much He means to me. i think sometimes i forget what it means when i hear that He died for my sins, so that i could be given the gift of grace and return home to heaven. i went on a mission trip recently. i just got back yesterday, and for a week, 200 people met and performed service in Christ's name. it's an incredible feeling. about a week earlier, i made a decision to get a tattoo that reads "Faith". i don't even know how to blog about this. it's not something i can just write down. i want to shout and sing and cry with joy because of Him. i can't sit in a chair and try to type sentences and collaborate with previous sentences without getting caught up and wanting to say something else about Him. I just want everyone who reads this to know how important He is to me. He needs to be spoken about. I love my God. talk to me about Him.
