Beautiful things.

 I love photography...by that I mean my favorite type of art ever is photography. I wish I knew how to take pictures. Thats one of my dreams in life, to get a good camera, and then do my dream job....photojournalist/evangelist in an unreached people group. Sometimes I look at pictures on etsy.com, where people sell their pictures. If I could I would buy tons of them!! Maybe thats what I should have asked for for Christmas. Here are some pictures that are beautiful and to me reflect God and the beauty of His creation....

 Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."




Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; 
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

Christmas at Furman!!!

Well, these past few weeks have been some of the busiest yet! We've had 2 huge parties and have been preparing for the ALIVE conference in DC! 

Even though you couldn't be there, here are some highlights of our Christmas bash we had last week:

-smores, hot chocolate, and tons of treats!

-an eggnog chugging contest....not really my thing but VERY entertaining!!

-SLIP N SLIDE!!! In 30 degree weather, some guys (and a couple girls were brave enough to try) did a soapy and wet slip n slide in the guys front yard!

Natalee, Jordan, me, Hayly, Martha, and Suzanne (all freshman girls!)

Bethany Dillon- Hallelujah 



Who can hold the stars
And my weary heart?
Who can see everything?

I've fallen so hard
Sometimes I feel so far
But not beyond your reach

I could climb a mountain
Swim the ocean
Or do anything
But it's when you hold me
That I start unfolding
And all I can say is

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah

The same sun that
Rises over castles
And welcomes the day

Spills over buildings
Into the streets
Where orphans play

And only you can see the good
In broken things
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah 




Dad, help me choose to believe your promises, to believe that you are enough even when I dont feel like it, and make my greatest joy in life be YOU. Alone.
