Answer:
Yep, my grandmother came from Scotland when she was about 15 and we have no clue where my green eyes came from. The other side of my family also has a large Scottish background mixed in with a little French, so my eyes have always been a family mystery. My Mom and Brother both have brown eyes, and my Dad had blue eyes. I’m thankful for them though :)

Boldly Approach the Throne
God wants us to get in the habit of running to Him for grace (supernatural inner strength). He wants us to rely solely on Him.
But the enemy tries to lie to us, telling us that we’re not good enough to be in God’s presence. Satan tries to convince us that we’ve made…

My Recent Absence
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven’t been posting lately. I’ve been going through a season of needing to seek God. My faith has been tried lately with school, my family, and my doubts. I needed to get away from the noise of life and into the silence of waiting on God.
God is so good, and he met me where I was. I think that’s my favorite thing about God; he just meets us wherever we are, no questions asked, no second thoughts, and he just loves us. No matter what we’ve done or where we have been, he sees us as perfect; perfect enough to die for.
I was the reader for the Easter Sunday service at my church this past week, and as I was reading, I was struck by the urgency in the voices of the women, and how faithful they were (John 20:1-9 was the reading). They came to Jesus’ tomb before the sun was even up just because they wanted to be close to him. They wanted to be with their friend again. How many times do we put off reading our Bible or serving God just because it’s inconvenient or because we would have to get up really early? I know I am guilty of this, and I know that it is an area that I need to work on. Sometimes I feel like one of the disciples in the garden with Jesus, the spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak.
Struggling against flesh is one of the hardest things I face during the day. Struggling to know that I can’t be perfect and that it’s ok, struggling to choose the right and Godly choice, struggling to turn to God with my problems instead of complaining, struggling to be still. These are the things I’ve been battling and wrestling with while I have been gone. I know I have not conquered any of these, and I won’t without the help of God. I have been seeking him in every way that I can, and I would like to ask for prayers from you my faithful followers. Thank you all so much :)
