Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, cookouts, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way.

How He Loves Us
I woke up this morning and the enemy had a hold of my mind more than he has in a LONG time!!!! Not a good way to wake up! I laid there for probably 15 minutes just letting him beat at me. Convincing myself I always mess things up and cant seem to do anything right. Then all of a sudden God steps in and just smiles. For a moment i was a bit confused because i had no idea what happened because I hadnt been praying these mind games away i was just letting them build. Then finally it was all gone, God was there and I was ok. I jumped out of bed (not literally jump, but quickly got up) went to my ihome and just turned some worship on because when I do that the presence of God always seems to thinkin very quickly. I didnt pick anything special just put it on shuffle. The song "He loves Us" by david Crowder came on and im just laying in my living room floor soaking up Gods greatness when a line of the song stuck out like never before......"My heart turns violently inside of my chest i dont have time to maintain these regrets, when i think about the way HE LOVES US!!!" Haha DANG!!!! I began to cry and just thank God for His love for me and no matter what I say or do and no matter what i have done he still loves me!!! yes it seems so simple but sometimes we cant help but think we should of done something differently. I feel like i woke up with a lot of regrets and torn myself up trying to think what i could of done different and just beating my self thinking i mess stuff up all the time. AND of course The most amazing Man i have ever known steps in and shows me that in his eyes I am beautiful and no matter what i do he is one who i can never ever push away no matter how hard i try!!! And if that doesnt spark something in you im sorry because it SO does in me. :) So may this be an encouragement to anyone who may read this that no matter what you may say or do to a person that people may forget what you say and forget what you may do but they never forget how you made them feel. God is the same way no matter what i may say or do in my times where i may drift away for a short period the fact that my love for him still resides in my heart and that makes him happy is ALL he remembers! :) Sorry if this was all over the place! Have an amazing Thursday!!!!! :)
