    I just am full of joy today. Today was a great day. 

    One of those days where a ton gets done and you’re just so proud of the work that you’ve been able to accomplish. Whether it brought a physical accomplishment and check-off, or it’s just something that’s off your chest.

    I volunteer as a small group leader at my church middle school youth group called Genesis. I have a great group of 6th grade girls. Tonight the topic was insecurities. I was so blessed by our conversation. It was so Spirit-led, and full of deep questions and thoughts. I got to share with them what it means to follow Jesus, and how God can take our insecurities and turn them into beautiful things.

    We wrote down all of our insecurities down on a piece of paper, folded them up, prayed together and on our own, then we tore up the paper to symbolize that we were giving our insecurities up to God. It was really quite profound to see these girls writing down things, private things probably, that they are struggling with. 

    Visual things always help me. And I was glad to be a part of tonight for them.

      Ready.

      Honestly, I’m not sure how to form all my thoughts right now into one blog post! As i randomly started ranting to my friend Becca, I realized how much was on my mind…on my heart…and how I HAD to get it down. My life is about a journey…a journey going where God wants me to go, learning to follow that route, get back on route when lost, listen to the map maker, and not tear up the map in pure frustration! 

      God is stretching me, growing me, and CALLING me to his ministry, and I feel it in my heart on a daily basis. What i’m working on is responding to that call. Its so so easy for us to move through the motions on a day to day basis, trust me I’m very guilty of it! But i’m realizing…life is SO much more than that. Than going through motions. This summer, God made it clear to me that I’m so, 100% ready to live for God in everything I do. And now, back at school, I’m learning how hard it is. I’m going to discuss the trials, tribulations, and thoughts I have in this life of mine, and how I’m growing from them. 

      It’s late, and I really should sleep…but that was just a general, random outline of what this blog is going to be about. Me, Maddie…my journey…my falling and getting back up, learning, and seeking…and I can’t wait to document it and share it. Maybe in the middle of this crazy blog, someone who reads it will learn something…as I’m learning things myself ;) 

      Until later,

      Maddie

        If You’re Not The One | Daniel Bedingfield

        [I know, I know. It comes across as a cheesy song. Just listen to the lyrics.]

        If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
        If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
        If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
        If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

        I’ll never know what the future brings 
        But I know you’re here with me now
        We’ll make it through 
        And I hope you are the one I share my life with

        I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
        If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
        Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

        If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
        If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
        If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
        If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

        I don’t know why you’re so far away 
        But I know that this much is true
        We’ll make it through 
        And I hope you are the one I share my life with
        And I wish that you could be the one I die with
        And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
        I hope I love you all my life
