χάρις : grace of God

Welcome to my blog. This is my life through my eyes. You'll see rants, memories, dreams, things I like, things I don't like and so on.. But through it all, hopefully you'll come to see how I grow and how I continue to develop into a woman of God. ☮.

What does it take for you to walk away from someone you love?

[lifewithcharis]

I don’t want someone who doesn’t know if he wants me. 

[lifewithcharis]

How did I let this happen again. I know I deserve better. I know I should be with someone that is certain of me and isn’t afraid of being wrong. It’s okay to not be right all the time.. to not be alright all the time.. but I need to know that you’ll choose me and God at the end of the day. Regardless if you’re “right”. Or wrong. Your pride has no place for us. Your pride will puff you up and tear me down. If you idolize that puffiness and that certainty of other things, and refuse to change.. there’s really nothing else I can do.

You need to desire God and desire me on your own. God’s timing is perfect.

Oh man.

It's been so long since I've used Tumblr. Or, at least, it feels like it has.

To the sleepless nights with frustrated patients, the car rides where I've ugly cried, the moments of joy when I was certain in my identity in Christ, the convictions of my soul that led me to repentance, the loss of the one my heart longs for, the building of new friendships I never saw coming.... I'm so thankful for you.

I am where I am as God has placed me here. It is my job now to serve joyfully, with courageous obedience to love on those around me.. And forgive myself from the shame in my past.

Thank you Jesus.

It doesn’t happen like that. You don’t just wake up one day and find that everything has worked itself out. You must get out of bed, morning after morning, and make a conscious effort to control the circumstances of that given day. You must learn to handle your issues with grace because you respect what they are attempting to teach you. You must drown your insecurities slowly, one self-realization at a time. You must allow yourself to feel the fear bubbling just beneath your skin but you must never allow it the satisfaction of crippling you; grit your teeth and march on. You see, they never tell you how hard these things will be. This fight to reclaim yourself is not easy or straightforward but, my god, is it necessary.

I gave you my heart. Instead of living it, you took a picture, printed it, and fell in love with the photograph.

Today's the day I officially start walking on eggshells around you.
