up and down and all around

oh hey there!

It's been a while since my last post, I needed to take a break and figure myself out. 

I realized that this lovely gadget is a great way to document day-to-day joys, but it also has not been much help on my journey to humility. This summer God has shown me how much I can rely on myself and my image, and I always want to make it seem like my life is perfect and happy and all that jazz - as you can see, posting about everything good and dandy and writing in a happy-go-lucky mood can put up that facade very easily. And then getting wrapped up in having the perfectly edited pictures and music and designs, and it's a recipe for self-focus, superficial-ness, and insecurity. 

I can't try and find my security in how many followers I have, or how I look in one airbrushed picture or how witty I am, etc etc. I need to find my security in the One that made me and who will never dissapoint or get old. 

I mean, I made this blog to show others my life with God and to inspire people with what He's teaching me! Instead, it became the "ALL ABOUT MEAGAN" show - I wouldn't even want to watch that.

So.....yeaah. :)

But I do love writing and sharing funny stories, so I'm gonna try this again, and pray that I do it RIGHT this time.

Take that Satan. 

adios amigos!

"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith." - Philippians 3:7-9
