go iron a pair of pants.

mk. sooooo these past couple have weeks have been pretty rough...more exhausting but i'm glad that i had to deal with it all (i still am). God does some awesome things when you are at your lowest, and it's funny how long it takes you to give up and just give it over to Him. i don't know why it takes me so long to admit that i'm a dork yet God is so good and gracious and waits till my heart is ready to rush in and save my sorry rear. there's this song:

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh precious is the flow that makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

i love this song because it's such a constant remider of His unfailing love and that there's nothing I can do to save myself in any situation. 

can you imagine what the heck would happen if we were left in charge of ourselves? we'd be screwed! it would be like the guy who irons is shirt/pants for the first time. he has no clue what  he's doing so he turns the iron as high as it goes, doesn't know you add water for steam and burns through the pantalones (both legs cause he doesn't know what on earth he's doin) the top layer and then the pad. The pants then procede to catch on fire because that's just the guys luck and then before you know it he's running around looking for the fire extinguisher that he didn't have cause he didn't go to home depot to get it when it was on sale. 

*that's just the mild version of what would happen if it was left up to us*

WE'D BURN DOWN THE HOUSE TRYING TO IRON A PAIR OF PANTS!

it sounds rediculous but we can't even take a breath without His help. this might sound really elementary and it is cause i'm not the most philisophical person and i'm just shootin my mouth off more than anything else but i am so excited that i have a God that is always there. always faithful. He forgives. He's full of love and grace to give to me when i need it. 

it's such an awesome feeling right now! cause i don't have to worry about things!
