About Me

Miranda here, I'm starting this new chapter of my life in Spokane, Washington. God is teaching me a lot, through school, experience and people; through coffee, small talk and online magazines, through stillness and busyness, through roommates and dates; and I want to share it with YOU.

Seeing Beyond Me

There's this marvelous, wild, crazy, joyful life in front of us. There's this hope that never ends, there's this love that never fails. I know this, I know this to be true.

So why then do I choose apathy over glory?
Laziness over steadfastness?
And boredom over excitement?
Why do I brush aside eternal joy for temporary fulfillment?

I wish I could see eternity, I wish I could fathom God's greatness. I wish I knew His everlasting love for me when I feel. so. unloved. I'm going to start looking beyond myself again. Because in the end, it's not about how I feel about being loved, it's knowing that I AM LOVED. And it's about sharing that unfailing love with the world.

Things are changing, It's time to act on my dream and run the race set before me diligently and work really freakin' hard. God deserves my very best and I have dedicated my life to Him. I'm dedicating it again today and I will EVERYDAY until it sticks.

I'm really thankful that my standing with God has nothing to do with my performance, or my inner thoughts, or my intentions. It has to do all with God's sacrifice, love and promises.

So who's with me?!
