I will be praying.
That God will give me the right words to say to you.
That my message will be clear to you.
That you will have an understanding heart.
That you will have a forgiving heart.
That God will continue working in your life after this.
That you will let God do that.
That I will have peace about this chapter of my life.

Thoughts that were running through my mind:
It’s okay. She’s not the devil. She has good intentions…but she’s soo hars— no…she has good intentions.
Man up, Charissa.
Nobody try to console me. You’ll just make me cry more.
Crap everyone is asking if I’m okay and I don’t want to think about it.
I know I look fragile….but…well I...

Valentine Message: I'm a bride. ~ With Love [and a...
This is gonna be a kinda long message: Yeah so Valentine’s Day is almost here. And I have seen several reactions to this pop up on my newsfeed on Facebook and Tumblr. Yes, people are becoming very aware of their relationship status. You really are just sad, mushy, or awkward about the whole idea of this “special” day.
I think one of the most common messages I have been getting...

Awesome/Sad.
I’ve been to so many houses and watched how the girls who live there interact with each other.
They lift each other up. They encourage each other. They keep each other accountable. They walk with the Lord together. When they call each other out— instead of trying to justify their actions, they accept constructive criticism. They love each other. They are sisters.
The awesome/sad...

Mirror, Mirror
I just find it interesting how there are so many different ways people will try to justify their actions when those actions are not always “okay”. Don’t get me wrong— I do this, too. Everyone does. I got this info while meeting with my awesome descipler and wanted to share.
Defending: “I don’t like to be wrong— and I hate it when other people tell me I am...

Having a Spirit-filled life means to take yourself off the driver’s seat and give God the wheel. My desires, aspirations, goals, and decisions are guided by the Holy Spirit and in light of God’s will. Surrendering everything to Him and loving Him with my heart, soul, and mind. Having a Spirit-filled life allows you to have compassion, love, wisdom and so many more fruits, so that He can use your...

Spirit Driven
Since DCC, I worried that this fire inside of me would eventually burn out and I would continue to live my life going through the motions; however, I find my passion to glorify God growing stronger every day. I wake up early every morning to start my day right—by thanking God for giving me another one. I used to just pray when something bad happens, or when I need strength, or just a way to help...

Tonight I am praying for:
wisdom, humility, guidance, and confidence
I will be leading my first Bible Study this week. The past two nights I have attended two Bible Studies to get more perspective and insight. I have been letting the Lord pour into me the past two nights, in hope that I can pour into others at the Bible study I’m going to help lead.
Something I learned tonight is that leading is not putting myself...

There is a definite bond when...
Your friend texts you with the answer to your question before you ask it.
*phone vibrates* “friend’s name appears on phone”
Me [thinking]: Oh, It’s friend. I bet he’s drunk.
Friend: Hey whats up and the answer is yes before you ask.
Me: Bahaha I wan’t even going to ask.
Constant prayers for you, sir. lol

So I pray for my future husband...
If the Lord wants me to ever get married. It’s weird to be praying for someone that I haven’t met yet. Or maybe I have met him and I don’t know what his future role in my life is yet.
I don’t know who he is. What he is doing. Where he is. When I’ll meet him.
Yesh, I pray for my future husband. A lot.
I pray for him and his family. I pray that the Lord is working...

So I really want to be in a wedding.
For a while now, I have just been waiting for one of my friends to get engaged so I can be in their wedding (hopefully be a bridesmaid)…that would be wonderful! Yesterday, I got an invitation to my childhood friend’s wedding. Kelsea Livengood was my best friend at church. AND SHE’S GETTING MARRIED.
Here’s the catch. 1. She’s getting married tomorrow (she got engaged...

I'm in Denver.
I spent about 9 hours in a car today with four random girls that I met this morning, and drove all the way to Denver.
It was a very long, tiring, drive. Kansas was actually pretty though. And these girls are awesome.
Tomorrow I’ll be waking up and registering people for the conference!

To a friend that changed.
We once had a great friendship. I knew you would go far with your talent, and by the time you discovered how awesome you are— the humbleness in your heart turned into poison.
My heart sinks a little…
Every time I think about who you used to be…and how you have changed since.
Every time I look at pictures from when we were friends. Every time I read words you used to say and...
