I am 20 years old. I don’t have to have everything figured out. I don’t have to know who I want to be, what career I want to have, where I want to go, or be dating the person I’m going to marry. I will grow and change and that’s healthy and right. I don’t want to be who I am now when I’m 24 or 30 or 35. I want to be smarter, wiser, more confident, more loving, less selfish, more beautiful, and more holy. Years down the road I will make better decisions about those big questions, in the timing I need to make them, and better than I would now. For now I will do my best, be happy about where I am at, and even happier about where I am going.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” -Audrey Hepburn

Waiting- The Rocket Summer
Such powerful lyrics..God works through shuffle I swear…
Somethings I should have known to see coming.
And why is this such a burden and why can’t I make it real.
And its funny if I don’t forgive it’ll kill me.
So can I skip the time I need to stop the remembering.
Cause I wanna and I needa.
Waiting, Waiting
I’m trying to get out, to get out.
But I’m locked right in.
So take this, take this away from me.
So I can live, so I can live.
And it built up, wears me down, yeah but its not for us
And I hate it, that I’m stuck here (wasting time)
Waiting, Waiting
I’m trying to get out, to get out.
But I’m locked right in.
So take this, take this away from me.
So I can live, so I can live.
Prayer Request
I committed my life to Jesus at Acquire the Fire in Iowa seven years ago, so this hits home…
Teen Mania Friends and Family:
We are sad to announce that five individuals on board a flight to Acquire The Fire in Council Bluffs, Iowa were involved in a plane crash around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The plane went down in rural southeastern Kansas, and three of the five on board died at the scene. Please be in prayer for the families of Luke Sheets, Garrett Coble, and Stephen Luth, who went to be with the Lord yesterday.
Hannah Luce and Austin Anderson were also onboard the plane when it crashed and were able to walk to a nearby roadway and get help. However, both Hannah and Austin suffered severe injuries and were life-flighted to hospitals in Kansas City and Wichita, respectively. Hannah is listed in serious but stable condition, suffering primarily from burns on 28 percent of her body. Sadly, Austin succumbed to his injuries at 5:30 this morning and went to be with the Lord.
The entire Teen Mania family is mourning the loss of four young lives who were full of so much promise and love for God. All were friends of Teen Mania, and two of them, Austin and Stephen, were newly hired to Teen Mania’s staff to join our marketing team. Please pray that God surrounds the families of Austin, Stephen, Luke and Garrett with His love and peace in this extremely difficult time.
Please also hold up Hannah and the Luce family in your prayers as she continues to recover from her injuries. Ask that God give Hannah strength and healing, and that He also surround her parents, brother and sister with His peace and love.
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement
