Temporary Home
The Bible Study I attend every Tuesday nights with some amazing women wrapped up its study on Revelation last night. We did a video series by Beth Moore that was very thought provoking and challenging. Last night as Beth was wrapping up the session she said something that I have heard so many times but seemed to really grasp for the first time last night. For the past several months I have struggled with what home is to me. I moved to Florence in the fall of 2004 as a young 18 year old off to college in a place 600 miles away from everything I knew. I never was scared about it because I had a sense of peace. A peace I could not explain...a peace that only came from God. If you asked that 18 year old if Florence would ever be called home she definitely would have told you no and that she would only be there for the next 4 years to get educated not to make Florence her home. Well it is amazing how God has other plans isn't it. Florence did become my home after college. I got a job, my own place and even got a puppy. Florence is what I called home and continue to call home but Fairfield is also home and will always be home. I lived there since I was 2 and made memories there that shaped who I am today. When I leave to go to Fairfield I say I am excited to go home as I leave home to go there. Confusing I know. With all that said. Hey I need to give you some background. Home is a confusing word for me needless to say.
The past several months the word home has somewhat haunted me. I have struggled to understand what home is. I have been homesick for my home in Fairfield but my home is Florence. Again I know this is confusing I am confused while I type this but I am getting to the point...stay with me if you would like. Last night it clicked like it has never clicked before. This is not my home. Beth Moore was talking about how everyone has a longing of home. We try to go to our childhood home and recreate memories to feel the longing we have to home and never get to the point of satisfaction. Do you know why? This world is only our temporary home. Every Christian has a deep deep longing for their eternal home and we can't quite grasp it.
You do not understand how much encouragement that bold statement has brought me in the last 13 hours. I can find joy in every place I call home but none of my "homes" will satisfy the longing for the eternal home my Savior promised. It is a longing I have had but could never understand. I have tried to figure out what to do or what to call home. Now I do not have to go searching to satisfy my longing of home but simply sit at the feet of my Savior and allow Him to lead me to the home He wants to call me to here on Earth.
It is a wonderful feeling

Day 29 — Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days
I was reminded during Schwenksgiving 2010-Year of the knotted blankets that I have not finished my 30 day blog challenge. I have made it more of a 30 week challenge then a 30 day challenge but that is what happens when you work full-time, go to seminary part-time and try to maintain a social life. Don't get me wrong I love the busyness is believe me I definitely have my me time as well.
So for this blog I will give you
3 hopes
6 dreams
5 plans
For the next 365 days...this should be interesting
3 Hopes
1. I hope that in the next 365 days I will grow closer to my Savior and go where He leads me. I am one who tries to figure out what is going on in my life without consulting with God. It's not very pretty because I then get my hopes crushed and it is simply because I have hoped on my own. I want to hope with God and have His insights not my own.
2. In the next 365 days I hope I will experience new friendships and grow old ones. My friends are important to me and I want to continue to show they are important to me
3. Last I hope that I will get to see some people I haven't seen for a long time...
6 Dreams
I am a dreamer. I catch myself day dreaming constantly so some of these dreams are a little silly just to warn you.
1. In the next 365 I dream the NSYNC will get back together and go on a reunion tour...NKOTBSB did it so why not NSYNC...they are the best boy band
2. I dream I will meet Tim Tebow...who wouldn't dream that?
3. Another dream I have is to go to an OHIO STATE FOOTBALL game...I have never been I know it is sad to say
4. I dream to make a difference in someones life without even trying but just being me
5. I dream of ending my time in seminary although I love learning maybe I will go for my PhD.
6. Lastly, I dream to go out of the country in the next 365 days. I have missed traveling internationally and I think my passport is going to expire in the next couple years
5 Plans
I am a huge planner but am quickly reminded that my plans are not my own and that you are simply supposed to not worry about tomorrow so here are some plans I know will probably happen God willing
1. This weekend I plan t0 go to Pelzer and spend some quality time with one of my best friends!!
2. In a couple weeks I plan to fly home....I haven't been home since last Christmas...needless to say I am ready
3. I plan to be more consistent in my blogging....I have always planned to do that let's hope I stick to that plan.
4. I plan to read all the books I own...this may take more than 365 days
5. Lastly, I plan to not be so judgemental...it's been a struggle but I am working on it and plan to continue to work on it.
There you go my hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days...what are yours?

Day 28 — A scar you have, and its story
I obviously have not been on for quite awhile. Life has been a little insane with work, school and living that blogging hasn't been on the top of any list made in the past month. For the next couple weeks things are calming down. Cooler weather has greeted the SC and for that I am so happy. Its entrance was welcomed with open arms and encouraged to stay awhile.
I have 3 days left on the blog challenge and intend to complete them, maybe not consecutively but at any rate they will get done
Scars...I have many. Scars remind of us of our mistakes some stupid and others unavoidable. Scars are very personal because no one person has the same scar not even twins. Interesting I know another proof that God does exist. Really...think about it.
Like I said I have many scars but there is one that I am not really proud of but I always think of when talking about scars...which is not all the time like I just made it sound. Anyway I have a scar from scratching a chicken pox on my right shoulder. I had chicken poxes with I was 4 and I remember my mom telling me not to scratch them because if I did I would have scars all over my body. I didn't believe her...obviously and kept scratching...it was like I couldn't stop. I remember when they cleared up and I found the scar and realized my mom was always right...it was pretty life changing. I started to listen to her more and she still seems to be right most of the times. I guess you get something when you become a mother where you know all the right answers.

Day 24 — A movie no one would expect you to love
I saw this movie with Christy Coggins when it came out. We were in the theater with 2 other people. We both loved the movie, but knew none of our friends would like it. This really is such a bad movie and I am embarrassed to say that I liked this movie but I did. Amazon has it for $5.98...which shows how bad it really was. I don't want to recommend it so you won't judge me if you do watch it.Day 23 — A way in which you want to be remembered
I don't want to be remembered for the things I had or the stuff I did. I simply want to be remembered for my love of Christ. I want that love to show even when I am gone. I know I don't show it all the time and I mess up daily but I hope one day someone will look back on my life and say she was completely in love with Christ...because He is really the only one that matters
Have a great weekend! I know I will at CLEMSON!

Day 21 — Something you know you do differently than most people
Since I am left handed there are a lot of things I do differently than others. When I say left handed I mean I do everything with my left hand I could function without my right hand.
My mouse is left handed
I drive left handed
I obviously write left handed
I hold my phone with my left hand
I put my name tag on my left shoulder even though it should be on my right
I shake hands left handed
Like I said pretty much everything I do involves my left hand
I turn my paper to write (left handers know what I am talking about!
One thing I do that most left handers don't is that I put my watch on my left wrist which at times is annoying especially when writing.
It is fun being left handed...you should try it sometime

Day 20 — A hobby of yours
I have many hobbies...
shopping, sleeping, reading, exercising (not really a hobby more like something I dread), eating (definitely a loved hobby especially with dessert is involved) and just having fun with friends! One hobby I wish I would spend more time on is SEWING! I have a sewing machine and I love to make things but I don't spend time sewing as much as I would like to!

Day 8- A Thank You Letter
To many people who have touched my life in the past 24 1/2 years:
Thank you for showing me the difference between right and wrong and picking me up and cradling me when I was in the wrong.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, they always seem to come at just the right time and carry me through the trials of life.
Thank you for showing me Christ and challenging me to stop being fake and live the life Christ has given me. My life is forever changed by you and I can't even remember you name but a week with you changed my life forever.
Thank you for just listening....I have a lot on my mind and most of it never makes sense but being able to tell you my thoughts helps me see them clearly.
Thank you for letting me be real. You are one of the only people I can tell my inner thoughts, doubts and struggles and I never feel judged. God put you in my life for so many reasons and for that I am so thankful.
Thank you for your dinner invites and the time you spend with me. Those times are so precious to me.
Thank you loving me even when I don't deserve you love at all.
Thank you for letting me take my anger out on you...you don't deserve it but I know in the end you will still love me and I will always love you no matter what.
Thank you for your friendship
Thank you for your hugs
Thank you for showing me your passion in the ministry which has challenged me.
God, thank you for these people and the many that you have put in my life. I don't deserve what you have given me but I am so thankful for it.

Dearly Loved
This past weekend I was at a Beth Moore Simulcast. The topic was insecurity. Yes insecurity. I am insecure typing insecurity.
The one thing among several things that God showed me through his servant Beth was Kristina, you are dearly loved by the God of the universe. Yes I know as a christian this should not be a hard concept to grasp but honestly I am not that smart and like David Wike said Sunday morning sometimes you have to get back to the basics.
I am dearly loved by the God of the Universe.
You are dearly loved by the God of the Universe.
The question Beth presented was what would you life look like if you lived knowing you were dearly loved by God?
First off I have to be reminded daily I am dearly loved by Him because one I am not good I remembering that and two I know me I don't deserve that love. But isn't that what makes it special? I am dearly loved by God who knows my faults, who knows my deepest thoughts, who knows I don't deserve the love He offers but wants to give it to me...a concept that continues to blow my mind.
But although this dearly loved concept blows my mind I am going to try and live like a dearly loved child of God. I had to put dearly loved on the background on my phone so I could be reminded daily that I am loved by God. Of course I love God but he also loves me! So amazing.
Jimmy Needham has a song called dearly love which I will leave you with. I love this song and would love to sing it to the whole world if I sang in front of people. You can come ride in my car with me and I will bust it out.
Please lay down your arrows
For they're sure to pierce the skin
And water from a broken well
Will make you thirst again
When all things you've acquired
Are tested by the flames
And you can see them melting
Then will you call his name
It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved
To the slaughters you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that he died for you
No greater joy
No greater peace
No greater love than this
It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved
It is worth it!!! A life with Christ is worth EVERYTHING!!
Frustrated
I know it has been a long time...I just haven't been feeling the whole blogging thing lately. But today is different. What I am about to write is probably a big mess but I'm a mess so it fits right?
So have you ever had one of those days where you were just frustrated and you didn't really know why but you knew you were frustrated?
Well that's how my day has been...I don't really know why but I am just in a mood that is not very pleasant. Which is not really good because I am sure I came off as not a very nice person and that is not at all how I meant to come off....so I am sorry if I did.
Again I don't know why I am frustrated...sure there are a lot of things that have been bothering me lately but no reason to be frustrated.
Frustrated is a hard word to spell...it's a tad tricky....I don't want to type it again.
I said this post was going to be a mess....I just wanted to stick to what I said.
So after typing this I feel a little relief. I wonder what put me in a bad mood...I should have stayed home so no one would have been subjected to my bad mood but I couldn't skip Church! I love church and small groups are GREAT!
hmmmm I guess we all have our days and today was mine. Maybe I need to start blogging again. I need some inspiration other than being in a mad mood.
The end...the mess is over

Love is Here
Love Is Here
by Tenth Avenue North
Come to the water
You who thirst
And you'll thirst no more
Come to the father
You who work
And you'll work no more
And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow
Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
'Cause love is here
Come to the treasure
You who search
And you'll search no more
Come to the lover
You who want
And you'll want no more, no
And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed
Yeah
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow
Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
'Cause love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His brow
Love is near
It satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
'Cause love is here
And to the bruised and fallen
Captives bound and broken hearted
He is the Lord He is the Lord, yeah
By his stripes He's paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation
He is the Lord He is the Lord
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from His hands
From His browLove is near
It satisfiesStreams of mercy flowing from His side
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
'Cause love is here
Love is here

Has it really been a month??
So I sure have not been keeping up with the whole blog thing....epic fail.
It's been a crazy month...Christmas was great...New Years pretty good (OSU brought out a Rose Ball win) and Winter Retreat...pretty awesome....scratch that...REALLY AWESOME!! God really showed me how the Holy Spirit works during that trip. I continued to learn that when God tells you to do something OBEY him and stop making excuses.
Back to the Holy Spirit (or The Forgotten God as Francis Chan would call it) I have been so busy like literally I get home late, put my PJs on and then off to bed to do it all over again. But last night even though I got home late again, I started reading Forgotten God by Francis Chan and man am I glad I did. I have always been intrigued by the Holy Spirit and the Trinity....after reading the Shack my interest sparked even more! Chan has devoted an entire book about the Holy Spirit...the one God head that we forget about the most but is the one who is with us the most if we call ourselves Christians....think about that....digest it and then go and seek really what the Holy Spirit is in your life.
I have only made it through Chapter 1 but we are discussing it in Sunday School and I must say I am pretty pumped to talk about what I have already learned!
