About Me

First and foremost, I love the Lord!! He has brought me through so many trials and has always been faithful and GOOD. He alone is my Lord and Savior, and I want to live my life abundantly through Christ and the power of His Word for His glory! And the greatest thing about faith in Christ is that it's simple to understand. Jesus clothed Himself in humility by coming down from heaven and from the Father to be a human being... just like us! And He paid the ultimate price for our sins on the cross. And all He asks is that we come... Praise God!
I am currently attending school in Michigan, and even though I go to school there, i am still a hardcore Ohio/Cleveland sports fan (which is really fun to be up there lol). I am the oldest of 7 kids by ten minutes... hey, those ten minutes give me big bragging rights with my twin sister;). I love my family and friends and I thank the Lord for His constant provision in my life.
I am full of earth.
You are heaven's worth.
I am stained with dirt, prone to depravity.
You are everything that is bright and clean,
the antonym of me. You are divinity.
But a certain sign of grace is this:
From the broken earth flowers come up
pushing through the dirt.
You are holy, holy, holy.
All heaven cries "Holy, holy God."
You are holy, holy, holy.
I want to be holy like You are.
You are everything that is bright and clean.
And You're covering me with your majesty.
And the truest sign of grace was this:
From wounded hands redemption fell down,
liberating man.
But the harder I try the more clearly can I
Feel the death of our fall
and the weight of it all.
And so this might could be the most impossible thing:
Your grandness in me making me clean.
Glory, hallelujah.
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
So here I am, all of me.
Finally, everything.
Wholly, wholly, wholly -
I am wholly, wholly, wholly -
I am wholly, wholly, wholly... Yours.
I am full of earth and dirt and You.
