I am getting so deep into African Worship music so much so that this is how I want to sing to the Lord from here on. Look at their lovely smiling faces, there’s so much love & joy in their eyes.

“On this day of your life, Alex, we believe God wants you to know … that there is no such thing as conditional love.
Love is either unconditional or it’s no love. You might like someone conditional on their personality or behavior or circumstances. But love accepts no boundaries. So never say ‘I love you because’, for love has no cause, love comes from God.”

On point.
My friend Megan wrote this great post and I want to share it with you.

“I don’t wish they all could be California girls”
I’ve been thinking a lot about beauty lately and I remembered this little piece I wrote three and a half years ago right after graduating from Moody. Thought perhaps I would share it with you all here.

Today I arrived home after a solo road trip across beautiful america.
I would highly recommend it.
In case I needed a reminder about being back in cali, it came tonight. After my sister’s graduation I went to the local country western bar and grill to celebrate and couldn’t help but notice how terribly beautiful and sexy the California girls are. There I was little miss Moody in my conservative clothing and innocent demeanor wrestling desperately to stop myself from desiring to be like them. I felt as a woman I couldn’t compete. The men didn’t notice me. Perhaps it was because I was one of the few who wasn’t advertising what they were looking for.
As I gazed at myself in the mirror tonight when I got home I searched for the answer to the question, “Am I beautiful?”
The urge to be noticed, to be attractive is profoundly innate to the feminine heart. Still I think that maybe the question is not whether or not I am attractive, but who is it I want to attract? We’re reminded in evangelical america that true beauty is inward. I believe this is so, but it is seldom recognized. And until then I’m left standing on the edge of the dance floor awaiting someone to come along who will notice there’s something different about the girl in the flip flops and pony tail…
