I may be weak, but Your spirit's strong in me.

Give me faith is one of my favorite songs. It is such a great prayer.
Give me faith to trust what you say.
That you are good and your love is great.
I don't know why the lyrics have never really meant that much to me until today when I actually listened instead of singing along in agreement.
When I have weeks that just remind me how real Satan is and I feel tired, weary, mad at the world, emotional and just plain needy,  this needs to be my prayer.
Give me faith to trust that you have it all under control.
Give me faith to trust in your word.
Give me faith to remember I am a daughter of the most high king.
I seriously sat in awe today as I listened to that song. All too often I forget those things and go on with my daily life acting as if Jesus is a liar.
I know what you're thinking. Woah, Selina that's too far. Blah, Blah, Blah. We all do it. It's the truth.
We act as if His words aren't valid.
When I feel down and out as if life is horrible and nothing is going to change I occasionally forget to lean on the word. The most high God that I serve has promises. Not only that but, boy does he love us. So, I am remembering today that when I feel like my life is overwhelming and too busy that my Daddy gives me a peace that surpasses all understanding. (Phil 4:7) When I feel like I am working too hard and never will get ahead I need to remember that I am to do everything I do unto the glory of God. (Col. 3:23) And most of all, when I want love, to be loved and just want to hug my Daddy and feel his presence I can remember that He says "...Do not fear for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; YOU ARE MINE" (Isa. 43:1) I love that. You are mine. I belong to the most high God and He calls me by name, He knows who I am through and through and He cares. Those truths are good reminders to get through the week.
He's got this.

10 things that I know to be true.

Image
An actual MRI photo of my cerebrum at its' current state.  Sarah Kay, a famous poet known for her spoken word, suggests doing an exercise when you feel a little lost in the heaviness of life. She says to write down "three things that I know to be true" in order to be guided back to reality a little bit. This is an exercise she uses for poetry students in order to get their creative juices cranking and to show how these three things can show a commonality throughout the human race. No matter what you write or feel, most of the time we can trust that someone can relate to at least a few.  So, I am nearing the end of my junior year of college. That means one and a half more years until I am officially a college graduate with a bachelor's degree with my bright eyes looking toward a medical school. This thought fills my bones with anxiety and a shivering fear of the unknown, yet a weird sense of excitement. As I walk through my day-to-day life, my overly emotional s...

How the Enneagram has helped me

Image
I often say that the early 20s are some of the most confusing years of a person's life. For me, it has been a constant state of struggling to figure out how to answer the question, “tell me about yourself” when meeting new people or interviewing for a job. Just when I think I have my identity figured out, I discover more about myself that I hadn’t understood before - sometimes that’s me processing the past or evolving into the adult version of “me”. As I find myself changing, I also grapple with the idea of losing the “old me” - how can this be possible? I am me, and that’s that. Attempting to understand your identity is complex.  A visual of me trying to figure out my identity (2017) Image courtesy Giphy What identifies us anyway? I have wrestled with this question time and time again. In the US, we often answer questions about ourselves with our profession or something we “do”. But, does this really identify us? I have always had a small issue with this concept of identification....

Summer 2013

To sum this summer up in a measly blog post would  not begin to touch the impact these last few months have had on my heart. I think it is safe to say that God completely changed my life this summer. Completely is a big word, yes. I think in the beginning of June I didn't know what to expect. I was finishing the hardest year of high school and was not doing so fabulous. I knew that I had three "Vacations" in store for the summer but, in all honesty I didn't know how my heart would be after all of them. I learned so much this summer. Here's a few key things that I can honestly say God reminded/taught me this summer: 1. God is GOOD. He is always good. There is no bad part of Him. He is always the provider and He always loves. This summer I found His love once again. His perfect never failing love surrounded me as I was away from home, in a foreign country and especially in these last few weeks where I just don't know what the next step will be. If you haven...
