// i really wish the church would stop trying to be the holy spirit for everyone else. speak the good news and love people the way Jesus does. stop trying to "convict" people - that's the holy spirit's job.

stop trying to push your personal convictions on others. when you do so, you cause division in the body. you are convicted about certain things that others aren't convicted of due to your own personal calling. Agree on the specific things that Jesus says to agree on. all other convictions are personal convictions. we all have different purposes (read Ephesians). what good would a hand be if it demanded to see like an eye sees? stop creating new denominations out of a personal conviction! THAT DIVIDES US! A house divided will fall. We all have different callings and yet the Lord tells us to be unified. just like a marriage, a woman is wired differently than her husband and yet God placed them together... work it out! “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." (- Jesus) Ephesians 17:20-23. Jesus, The holy Spirit & God are three separate but also one.

don't stir up strife in the body simply because you think your personal conviction is the ultimate say.

oh hey! it's been a while. thanks for being so patient!

// reflecting on the past few weeks & i've realized i am way too independent! i like being by myself. i like going to movies by myself! i like going to dinner by myself! "party of one, please!" i love my independence! now, it doesn't hurt if i have a handsome gentleman with me every now and again or even a few of my girlfriends but i actually prefer to go it alone. single girl, story of my life. 

xoxo, kerrin

// fifty seven days and i leave for nyc with my best.

// reflection and some words of wisdom from kerrin: marry someone who compliments you.

// i can't believe i am at the age when people get married! a lot of people around me are getting married or talking about getting married and for crying out loud people, marry someone who compliments you, not 'completes' you!

// one of the most famous lines in cinematic history is also one of the biggest lies our generation believes, you know the one i'm taking about... mister crazy couch jumper cruise says it in the film jerry mcguire. "YOU COMPLETE ME". {barf} that's the biggest load of doo doo i've ever heard! no one can complete you except Christ so please don't put that kind of pressure on your spouse! marriage isn't about two halves making a whole, it's about two whole people becoming one!

// ...there is my rant for wednesday & remember, the things you take for granted, someone else is praying for.

Reflection

"God's timing is always perfect.

His delays are intentional and loaded with purpose."

I've been meditating on this for the past couple...months, now that I think of it.

I get so caught up in what I think my life is supposed to look like.

I guess I'm slowly figuring out that it's... just supposed to look like Jesus, wherever I'm at. It's not so much about the specific details of my life but about how those details point back to Christ. God gave me creative freedom to create a life here on earth and lately I find myself waiting for something to happen. Waiting for him to move, waiting for him to create.

I have a bucket list of dreams that are just chillin' there because I don't want miss something that God has for me.

I marvel at God because he can create something out of nothing and breath life into dead things. So why do I think that I have to stay put in order for him to follow through on the blessings He's promised me? It's not about physical location but the position of my heart. And He knows I am bent towards him.

God is faithful!
