Being Free
Hey loves! Oh geez- so sorry I have gone MIA once again! I have been SO busy at school/applying for jobs/dabbling in the grown up world. I still dont even know what I want to do with my life! Haha! Ive also been chilling with the working out, the Lord was telling me to take it EASY last week and this week. Theres no need to go balls to the walls all the time! I dont think God made our bodies to be pushed too hard. God is basically “chilling” my heart and making me step back and realize whats truly important. Oh man, I love how He pursues us relentlessly!
I will be back with a regular post SOON!
one of my bffs/roomies got ENGAGED!
football games!
love my parents!
SUCH A GREAT GAME!!!!
went to a "jersey" themed bday party!
My dad also did a half iron man on Sunday, the same one Meghann did! I AM SO PROUD OF HIM!! He had a calf injury and ran the entire 13 miles on his HEELS!! and still finished under 6 hours. hes a freaking stud.
Thats about all! God has already won the victory. He has saved us already, and we sometimes forget that!! We need to stop focusing on sin/what we are doing wrong and feed the spirit. Feed the Spirit and the sin will starve!
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Be back soon!!
also.. WHO is excited its pumpkin season?! OH YES!!!! PUMPKIN EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE!!!
Fun post Katie.
They always make me happy! Looks like you are having a wonderful time girl!
Thank you! I hope you are doing well girl!
Hmm. I just discovered that every time I post on your page, the link doesn’t work. Whoops. I tried logging in a different way.
Happy Tuesday Katie!
You are so pretty inside and out!! I had the same discussion with my bible study leader last week. He showed me 1 timothy 4:1-14 and said God didn’t put me on this earth to worry about my weight all the time!! I love the last part of this post, I never realized God wants me to fight back too!! Its so inspirational the way you let God have complete control of your life!! And Oh boy the amount of pumpkin I’ve eaten lately is crazy!!
You are AWESOME!!! God is so working in your heart and preparing you for something HUGE!!
Congrats to your daddy!! Sounds like he passed his determination on to you
so proud of you for giving 100% to Jesus! Its so hard sometimes to let Him have it all. Keep the faith girl and keep speaking loud and proud about our Lord!! Your beautiful in every way!
Girl you are so awesome and so encouraging! thank you! thanks for being my sista!!!
haha ayess love that! feed the spirit and the sin will starve. In the kindest words possible, “die sin diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!”"
You’re amazing~And I’m so thankful that the Lord made people like you. I am so happy to see you (and others) who actually know that there’s a spiritual warfare going on all the time. If we blind ourselves to it, then it can be quite dangerous. Don’t ya agree?
And you dad is seriously soooo moshissuhhhhh (korean for cool, majestic, suave?) there’s no direct interpretation for that word!
Oh my gosh you are like fresh water to my soul every time you comment! I adore you and your beautiful heart. I so agree- if we blind ourselves to it then thats when hidden sin can build up! YOU ARE AWESOME and SO WISE!!!!! hahaha i will have to tell my dad you said that, that will make his DAY!
Way to go for your dad! I was there too!

I just recently discovered your blog – can’t wait to read more. Congrats to your roomie and dad! I am trying to get my hubby to do a half iron man!
THANK YOU so much for reading!!! Your hubby should do one!! my dad loved it- but he said he needs a BREAK for a while, haha
Girl, you bring me to tears. Tears of Joy!! Seriously I can not ‘AMEN!’ this enough. You’re right, our propensity to fall back into the area where Satan loves to attack us most will never fully fade but that is the very reason we need CHRIST. Our struggles our made to GLORIFY the very God who loves us unconditionally! Keep SHINING Sista!
AHH the Lord shines through you SO MUCH, seriously! I wish we could have coffee and talk FOR HOURS!!! you are such a beautiful woman of the Lord! love you sista!
You are TOO cute!!!! I love the pictures!
So are you! i love you!
Looks like you are having a wonderful time!!! Enjoy it! God is sooo awesome, and I am glad you are experiencing the freedom he has for you! <3
AMEN, that is so encouraging girl!!!!!! you are wonderful!
Wow your dad is amazing!!! That is so awesomeeeee!!!
He is seriously a BEAST! haha
as always, your post is DEAD ON for what i need to remind myself! “He didnt create us to settle with having disorders or issues or addictions, we have to FIGHT hard against them!!” it’s such a battle but God makes me more and more victorious every day. I’m subscribed to a daily devotional online and today’s verse was Romans 12:2. This post reminded me again of that verse, and how we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds- of having total faith in God and giving it allll up to Him! What happiness I have found in letting Him write my story, instead of trying to write one I think He wants to read!
WOW!! YOU ARE SO AWESOME!! thank you so much for sharing that- I completely understand everything you are saying and i KNOW the Lord is so at work in your heart. He loves you so much and is SO delighted in you. this was so beautiful – “What happiness I have found in letting Him write my story, instead of trying to write one I think He wants to read!” gosh- you rock! love you sista!
Katie, you always brighten my day! Love ya, girlfran! The Lord is doing so many awesome things through you! You’re spreading so much light and love, and I can see your passion for Him shining in this post! Amazing!
So glad you’re having such a FAB last semester of college! ENJOY it! Love the pics too–you and everyone in your life is radiating! xoxo <3
