Beyond Lost

A totaled car beyond repair. A messed up painting beyond reworking. A burnt piece of food beyond re-cooking. Sometimes, even the most skilled mechanics, painters, and chefs cannot save an item that is past the point of no return and unable to be redeemed.

This Easter, we see two individuals so wicked that we’d easily pass them off, saying, “Well, not even Jesus Christ could save them!”

But as we watch their story unfold, we will see how they were completely saved and changed by the blood of the Lamb. The truth is, no one is really Beyond Lost and His resurrection is not for the well, but for the sick – in other words, you and me.

(Rated: “SP” for strong profanity)

sick…

Been sick for about 1/2 a week now, but it hasn’t been this bad for awhile. 

Started with sore throat—> body chills —> headache —> stuffy nose —> loss of taste and smell —> the cough from hell. 

that is where my story begins. I come home from work with a headache and stinging right eye. I had been coughing so hard that day that I thought I was going to throw my empty insides up. and everytime I coughed, I felt the back of my head in so much surrounding pain I thought it was going to fall off. I lay on the couch and I tell my 4yr old precious nephew that my head hurts. and he says to me…

“maybe you should go to sleep.” 

me: “I’ve got to work though nathan”

N: *pause* “hmm A nap then. You should rest. That’s what I think” He looks at me with such innocent, sweet, concerned eyes- hand around his juice while wrapped up on the couch with a big scarf. In that moment, I didn’t feel that sick anymore. I just felt love. Dangg- this 4 year old!! <3

It&#8217;s incredible to see how powerfully God is moving and how much He&#8217;s expanded in 180 over the last couple of years. Crazier part: Its only the beginning!
And there are still so many more promises waiting to be fulfilled. I can&#8217;t wait!

Yummy Vanilla Bean Toffee popcorn inspired by a recipe on Pinterest.
I remember when I was younger and stayed home from school, I woke up early just to watch the Martha Stewart show at 9am with my mom. (sometimes I would even watch it by myself too lol) And when she baked, she would often use vanilla beans- and not the artificial vanila extract stuff, but the real deal. She would say: &#8220;With a serrated knife, cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla inside.&#8221; Let&#8217;s just say: I learned what &#8220;serrated&#8221; meant from a very young age :P 
So thanks Debbie for getting me the delicious gift of vanilla beans and making this possible! :D I hope to make more and if you&#8217;d like some- first to ask, first to receive ;)
PS- if you try this, i would avoid baking it in the oven at the end for too long. Mine began to burn :T but the rest were absolutely sinful :P

Hillsong Chapel - Stronger
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I’ve been playing this on repeat. So powerful!

VERSE 1:
There is Love
That came for us
Humbled to a sinner’s cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious

VERSE 2:
Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm
And through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me

CHORUS:
You are stronger
You are stronger
Sin is broken
You have saved me
It is written
Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all

VERSE 3:
No beginning and no end
You’re my hope and my defense
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross

BRIDGE:
So let Your Name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
Be lifted higher

This girl can SAAANG! Thanks internet for existing and allowing me to see talent from the other side of the world!

Talented Teen of the Day: On the BoA-judged Korean singing competition K-Pop Star, 15-year-old Park Ji Min rolls over the competition with an adept cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.”

J.Y. Park was so impressed, he told the teen, “If I had a big bag beside me, I think I would kidnap you and bring you to my company.”

You know JYP, you can catch more flies with honey than with kidnapping.

Welcoming this new hunger pang

It is true: I have never been so full with who Jesus is in my life. Food and drink truly cannot satisfy like Him.

I actually ended up forgetting to eat and drink today while getting immersed in my time with Him. :D I never thought that that would happen- at least for as long as I went without eating. I usually feel hungry or I suddenly remember that there was that leftover cookie that I should get before someone else takes it. ~guilty~ :P lol

but let me tell you, lately, I’ve just been feeling so much more refreshed, full, and hungry for more of the Father. I am so blessed to have Him and be able to live out my calling. Thank you Jesus!  John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.


…but still- thank God that He is so thoughtful and generous to still make such delicious and pretty foods to enjoy while here on earth. lol :P Happy New Year!
