Corazon

I pay attention to details. Maybe even too much, because sometimes I try to make connections and there’s just way too much for my brain to process. Well God knows I’m a detail person. After all, He did make me that way. So for the past week and a half He’s constantly been bringing up Proverbs 4:23. It first started when I’d look at what time it was. Yep, 4:23. I know it’s dumb, but hey, God knows how to grab my attention. It was the verse of the day on tuesday, and don't even get me started on how many songs I've been hearing that talk about hearts. Then I’ve been wanting to download a new album by Audrey Assad. Guess what it’s called. Yep, Heart. And I recently started a section of a book all about your spiritual heart where Proverbs 4:23 was the verse under the chapter title.


So I’m starting a word study on heart. It is used seven hundred and forty-three times in the Bible. That’s more than any other word I’ve looked up before, so I decided to compare that to faith. Just guess how many times that’s used. Yep, four hundred and twenty-three. 
Well I need to get started on my reading, because I’m fairly certain God has something important for me to learn. Ah, I just love it when He speaks to me like this. 

With all vigilance guard your heart,
for in it are the sources of life.

Whale of a Tale

 Reason #32,472 why my parents are amazing: 
They fly me to San Diego to spend the weekend with my mom to get away from school







One day I will own a massive tank just like this one
No, the one on the left isn't a baby. The one on the right is the
biggest whale I've ever seen. Seriously


Reason #32,473 why my parents are amazing:
They surprise me with the chance to play with a beluga whale



It was a pretty fantastic weekend if I do say so myself. 

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts! All the earth is fill with his glory!"
