Coming Together

Things are coming together...I can see Washington DC in my future!  I move out of my apartment in Newport News VA in two weeks and then move home with my parents in Williamsburg VA for a little bit.  During the month of May, I will be traveling to DC to look for a new place to live and a new place to work.  I do hope I find both relatively soon!  Please pray for me...

DC is going to be great!  It is a beautiful city filled with American History, art, museums, theater, parks, etc...It will be a lot of fun!!!  Plus, I will be close to the National Cathedral.  I am very much looking forward to praying in such a beautiful church!

Something Beautiful

My New FAVORITE Song is: "Something Beautiful" By-NeedtoBreathe

If you have the chance, I would highly recommend looking it up online. Take a look at the lyrics because they are perfectly written.


In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe

When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire

Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

And the water is risin' quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won't have what I need

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful

Easter Season


Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right...

Good Friday: Holy Friday



"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
In you, O LORD, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your justice rescue me.
Into your hands I commend my spirit;
you will redeem me, O LORD, O faithful God."
- Luke 23:46

Holy Thursday: Washing of the Feet



Happy Holy Thursday

Jesus knew that His hour had come ... "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me ... Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean ...

He said to them "Do you realize what I have done for you? ... If I, ... the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet.  I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you shoud also do." 

The Gospel of the Lord
