Ohh, Faith!
Hey beautiful people! Long time, no see, right?! I am so sorry I keep going in and out of commission! First of all, you all need to go check out this awesome post by my sista. She is awesome and her and her husband are such a power team for the Lord. The post is so beautiful and sooo relatable. Do not believe satans lies!! Lately I have been really having to exercise my faith muscle in many different areas of my life. I watched a sermon on faith from Passion City Church and GEEZ it was so good! Louie (the pastor) talked about how our paths will always end with God because they started with God. Sometimes we have to take a leap of faith and then Lord comes through, but we should NOT fear, because it WILL end with God. He never ever leaves us. Never ever have I taken a leap of faith and God is like “ohhh dang… peace out!” haha uhhh that would suck! My life has changed SO much in the past year, geez, and some of the things I weren’t sure about a year ago are as clear as day now, and I can only thank God for that as He affirms things little by little. He knows my heart and knows if He layed everything out in front of me then I would def take it all for granted and it would be hard for me to have a gentle spirit about it. He is really really testing me right now about having faith and the future. Its so frustrating when He puts desires on your heart but they aren’t in your control!! Oh gosh! Sometimes you just have to sit back and practice patience. I guess its good to really learn this now rather than later! Anyway, so my encouragement to you all is that sometimes you have to step out in faith and obedience, and people may think you are a little crazy and say “oh man, they are stepping out on a limb!” but if you are saying the Creator of the Universe is a limb, then YES I am stepping onto it! Although I wouldn’t call it a limb, id say that its more like a freaking tree trunk. God is an unusual God!
I know I am all over the place once again
hehe. anywaysssssssssss! I am home for fall break! whoooo!! so nice being at home with the parents. we are grilling out tonight and they are dying for me to blog about it!

I want to share this song- SO GOOD!!! I think I tear up every single time I hear this song. God makes your past beautiful!





Oh my gosh never feel guilty for not blogging, especially during football season
I would give anything to go back to USC for a game right now and live it up!
Love what you wrote about faith. Fear triumpts Faith if we let it take over, and the easiest way to battle fear is through spending time with our sweet God. He is ALWAYS with us, just waiting for us to spend time with him!
I love what you said at the end! Fear so easily triumphs faith. and yo uare so right about battling fear! Thank you for sharing sista!!!
good hearing from you katie! i am totally obsessed with pinterest right now too! =)
Lets follow each other!!
THANK YOU for introducing me to the Passion Church sermons!! They are AMAZING!! I love it!! Just spent the last hour watching one
And just listened to that song too and I LOVE it!!
Also, we are eats twins, cos I am LOVING all those things too! Especially pumpkin oatmeal!!
LOVE YOU! <3
HHHH you must tell me which ones you watched! Thats awesome!! YOU ARE AWESOME!
I am loving pumpkin oatmeal lately too! Enjoy your fall break at home girl!
everyone keeps talking about pininterest and i have no idea what it is haha. I am going to check it out right now!
I am trying to practice patient right now as well. I’m not gonna lie; it’s been hard being in a new town on my own. It’s hard waiting for things to fall into place and feel “normal.” But I just have to let go and trust that the Lord is at work and that good things are up ahead! Good things are up ahead for you too girl. love you!
Girl- I am praying for your sweet self! I know thats gota be hard- but God is SUCH a good dad and He takes care of His children! You are in good hands
keep me posted
I feel EXACTLY the same, Kristi! After ending a two year relationship, I don’t have very many friends and I am so anxious to meet new people and get involved, but I don’t want it to be forced, you know? I keep reminding myself to just step back and God will lead the way, but sometimes it is hard to practice that patience that He so desires of us.
Praying for you love! I agree- gosh its so hard to practice that patience sometimes. but the more we work that muscle out, the stronger it gets. I feel like that is what He is trying to do in us!
i TOTALLY hear you about having to sit back and trust God with the future. but that is so hard!! i’m such a control freak and i hate not knowing what the future holds!
love and miss you girl!! so sorry i have been MIA from the blog world lately (reading and commenting) i hope you are doing wonderfully!!
Ahhh AMEN girl I completely feel you!! I want to hear more about what you all you are having to trust God with about the future bc its prob the same kind of stuff as me! and NO worries bc I have been MIA as well
Love you and would LOVE to be updated on your life soon!
Katie you need to share your Pinterest link so we can follow!!
Loved this post.

Pumpkin oats and homemade pizza are two of my faves. I have never tried coconut butter!! where do you get it?
You are wonderful
GIRL you gota get you some coconut butter, I used the Artinasa (dk if thats how u spell it) brand! Its from whole foods or any kind of health store!
God really is unusual. I pretty much accepted Ill never understand Him, but Ill always trust Him. I love what you said about God always being there!! Ill admit sometimes I feel like He’s not there, but something always happens to show me He is!! Im so addicted to Pinterest!! I think I have my whole wedding/house planned out on that thing
Amen!!! I used to try to understand EVERYTHING but there are simply some things that we are not supposed to understand I guess! and your faith is AWESOME!
Wha?? You have Pinterest and I’m not following you?! I’m fixing that now!
Also, I love homemade pizza. End of story!
I need to find you ASAP!!!
I love pinterest too! Just recently go into it and its so addicting!!
And banana plus coconut is incredible!
Hey Katie! I really need to get on the Pinterest bandwagon. I’m just afraid it’ll suck my time away even more than the Internet already does.
That banana covered in coconut butter—yum!
girlfrand Pinterest is ADDICTING!
Haha, it doesnt suck up all my time yet so I hope it doesnt start to!
I agree that sometimes it can be so hard to “walk out on a limb” but God will always be there for us and wants to take care of us.. So comforting
I got your comment, I still haven’t got the email .. Maybe mine is the account that is messed up?! One day we will figure it out haha.
Oh gosh! I need to go back and look haha I am sorry!
