Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Everyone should read my friend Erica's latest post. It's real and honest, people. Grace and LGBT Communities 101. Gods world is too big and beautiful for us, but its satisfactions are too small. They are never enough. Because we are made for eternit. Choosing Gods grace isnt easy or fun all of the time. I struggle greatly with needing to understand why there is evil . Read your Bible every day? One Thousand Gifts: #1. One Thousand Gifts: #1. Read your Bible every day?

Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Choosing God's grace isn't easy or fun all of the time. I struggle greatly with "needing" to understand why there is evil in the world. Why do we blow each other up? Why do doctors murder babies? Why do people RAPE? Why would God allow genocide? Why did Dawn die of cancer at age 30 something? Why did her son die of cancer the year before? Why do we live in a world pocked with scarcity? I hunger for filling in a world that is starved. He means to heal our soul holes. Us, unworth...

Read your Bible every day?
http://katieallin.blogspot.com/2013/04/read-your-bible-every-day.html
Sunday, April 7, 2013. Read your Bible every day? This post was originally hidden. It's time it sees the light. A wise, Godly man told me this once. Actually, he said, "read your Bible every day, even if you feel. Even if its the one verse I get texted to me each day from some Bible website I signed up for.). I need to remember that I may not be there yet, but I am always one step closer than I was yesterday. Today I was humbled by a few verses in James that I have read countless times in the past:.

One Thousand Gifts: #1
http://katieallin.blogspot.com/2013/04/one-thousand-gifts-1.html
Saturday, April 13, 2013. One Thousand Gifts: #1. The more [gifts] you count, the more gifts you will see. Do not disdain the small. The moments add up, and we might come to believe it - the whole earth is full of His glory! Challenge accepted. I've decided to find (at least) one thousand things I am thankful for. It may take a while to complete the list, but I'm determined. I want my heart to be thankful and humble. This adventure is inspired by Ann Voskamp's book One Thousand Gifts. This post was origi...

Sunday, April 8, 2012. This post was originally hidden. It's time it sees the light. I told them. I took a step forward today. I was planning on telling my mom and brother before we went over to grandma and grandpa's house. But my brother and I got into a little argument and I think that made me feel just the right amount of uncomfortable, so I chickened out. While we were driving back home, my mom texts me this: Don't know how 2 say this but if u love her, so do i. My family is okay with it! I feel bett...

Monday, April 15, 2013. I kept the original post hidden for a long time. But I have decided I don't want to hide parts of my journey. IF anyone is tracking along, its important to see the hard times as well as the good times. All of it matters. So here it is.From Sunday May 13, 2012. I came out to two more friends. Well, kind of. They have grace with me, and I am thankful. I'm excited to not hide anymore. I'm excited to begin to feel that freedom again. Read your Bible every day? One Thousand Gifts: #1.

Saturday, January 24, 2015. For the first time in years, I was invited to church. It seems like a simple gesture, but it really moved me. Yesterday, I was invited to church. The invitation was heartfelt and sincere. I was so moved by the gesture, I cried. I didn't realize how powerful an invite could really be. I can't wait to go! I can't wait to experience worship. I can't wait to meet new people. I can't wait to see what it's like. Thursday, January 22, 2015. Read your Bible every day? I kept the origi...
