About Me

Hey there! I'm a twenty-three year old Jesus follower, and this blog is to record all of the goings-on in my life within the next months. I recently broke both of my legs, and feel God leading me to tell my story - a story of redemption and grace, of hope and pain, of excitment and fear. May you be deeply blessed as you read. Shalom!

Awake.

I absolutely love frogs.  I have loved them from the time that I caught one from the pond in our back yard, and I will love them forever.  I saw this video today in an e-mail, and I just started laughing after watching it.  I knew that in the winter, frogs freeze, but I never realized that they completely froze over.  And that their hearts stop beating!  Craziness!

The first thing that popped into my mind as I watched the sun slowly warm the little amphibian was how Jesus does this for me.  I am a sleepy, sometimes frozen-up little lady and Christ's warmth makes my heart beat again.  Ephesians 5:14 says:

   “Wake up, sleeper,
   rise from the dead,
   and Christ will shine on you.”
 
I just think it's so interested how I feel like I have spent so much of my time in life asleep.  When I met Jesus, it really was like waking up.  Again and again and again.  It's also quite ironic that I saw this video today because in less than 12 hours, I will be stepping off of an airplane into a climate unlike any I have seen in quite some time.  85 degrees Fahrenheit, baby.  Here I come.
