Eve...

So the other day i was snuggled up by the fire place all nice and warm in the middle of caribou doing my devotional. it was just like any other day, i thought. but during my devotional my mind was radically changed.

I was reading in genesis, where Eve eats from the tree. my entire life i have always thought, stupid eve, why would you do that? you ruined it for all of us. (wow, now that i am typying this out it makes me think how could i think that an not take the blame myself, but i really did think that)well as i was reading through the passage, it dawned on my that i am eve.

How often do we sin, knowing that God does not want us to, but we do not let that stop us! i know i do! i make the same choice that eve made everyday. and it makes me so mad, because i dont want to be that way. God deserves more!

This also makes me realize more and more how speechless i am when i think of God's grace. we do not deserve his grace at all, but he still gives it to us. He holds and tell us that everything will be ok because the price has already been paid. it is a beautiful message.

So today, as i am sitting at carbiou (i am ok with my addiction. ha) i just look around knowing that God is bigger, he knows me better than i know myself, and he still chooses to love me, and nothing will change that. overall it is a message of hope because no matter how imperfect i am, God still loves me, always!

Post Secret...

So i have an addiction... of reading post secrets. Post Secret is a blog created by Frank Warren. People mail their secrets to him and he posts new one online every Sunday. I was introduced to this blog a few years back and have been hooked ever since. Today i bought the newest Post Secret book: Coffesions of Life, Death, and God. As i started paging through it i just fall more and more in love with this idea.

People are brutally honest with their coffessions, which i believe is something that this world needs more of. We all walk around pretending like we are perfect and dont stuggle with anything, but that is a lie. We all have trials and tribulations, and we are called to love one another and help each other out with this. So i decided that i am going to start making a book of my own, and get my secrets out on paper. When i feel stressed, mad, or maybe even happy i am going to document it in a post card with pictures, words, or whatever is most relevant, and create a book full of them to be able to start being honest with myself and others.

So i challenge you to do the same! In the secret above someone is being honest about how they really feel, and i can relate to that, and it is so nice to know that i am not alone. In the secret below it is beautiful how when one person shared her secret with a complete stranger that she found out she wasn't alone either.



so whats your secret??

HOPE...

I recently got a new tattoo. I have wanted the word HOPE tattooed on my wrist for some time now...and last tuesday i got the courage up to do it! It was the most painful experience i have ever been through, but worth it.

Well today when i was looking down at my wrist and running my fingers over my healing tattoo it dawned on me that i am going to have the word HOPE there for the rest of my life, and i could not be more excited! In any moment of doubt or worry i can just look down and be reminded of HOPE and how truly beautiful hope is.

HOPE to me means everything. Because Jesus died for my sins, i have HOPE and will always have HOPE...

HOPE is just a simple four letter word but is the most beautiful gift i have ever received!

its a LOVE thing...

LOVE is a beautiful thing...

this blog is called LOVE by kryn because i want to use this blog to share my heart. so i hope you enjoy because my ultimate goal is to share a little LOVE with you!
