I am humbled.

Lord, i am in wonder of your ways. I feel small when thinking about your plans, but i know i'm so important to You and am held up to be so special in Your eyes.
You have layed out somthings for me in these past five days and i am so humbled by them. I am scared, but i'm working on it, it's intimidating, but i have confidence in the confidence You have in me. You will not give me that which i cannot handle.

Is this what they call closure?

So, after much debate, and worry, and fighting and crying and messing around and laughing and kissing and smoking....Here We Are. I think this is the first time in my life i have really felt "closure" i don't know what that is suppose to mean, but for me it means not having to worry about hurting your feelings, not being bitter and passive agressive towards eachother, supporting eachother, protecting eachother, and not being jealous. All the things we've been trying for. "Don't stop calling, because you're the reason i love losing sleep...."

Shack on the Rocks,....Shock on the Racks,....Sock on the Rhacks,...SOR,...most anticipated trip of my year so far. I hope i don't blow it, and by that i mean, i hope i use the time i have to my advantage. Maybe God and I can build our realationship up some more, that would be exciting. The fact that courtney isn't going is more than a little bit stupid. but its all cool, it'll work out for the best, i'm sure of it.:)

The wired bean is gonna be fine, This whole thing has been so covered in prayer it's rediculous, but if anyone feels the need to leave, please do so, we wouldn't want to hold you back from the rest of your life.

Love,

Denton

How Great is our God?

Sing with me, how Great is our God?

So, today is beautiful. In ways that astound me. the temperature at 11 AM is amazing, the wind is going crazy. I don't know how to express this fully. but here's a little story that might give you a clue,..and a laugh.
So i wake up and call danielle back, we agree to get out of bed at the same time, and then i go outside and go "JOMDLGJLJ FDSHG IUG it feels AMAZING!!!!" andso then we hang up and i go outside again. By the way, im in my boxers. i'm standing on the mini Padio infront of our door, and just get so overwhelmed with joy, i start singing, and i start singing "How great is our God" by Christ Tomlin. I don't have a great voice, and singing is not my main way of worship, but it just kinda happened, it's all i could think, i just kept asking my self, "How much must He love us, to give us this, He is so great to us." and so i sang, and i ended up with my hands up in the air dancing and praising God. It was amazing. and theeeennn. a truck drove by,..and the woman in the passenger seat just stared at me like i was holding a human head in one hand and a knife in the other, hahahaha. I quickly ran inside....

Moral of the story- If you are going to praise God outside in your boxers, do it in your back yard.

Messy

We are messy, we are broken, we smoke and use colorful language, we dance, and we yell and we laugh during worship, we admit our struggles and do not pretend, we are christians. We follow a Jesus who helped the prostitutes and tax collectors and the outcast, we serve the God of Noah, who got drunk and naked after the flood , the God who called Isreal His chosen even when they turned away from him. I am hoplessly flawed and I am hopelessly Forgiven, unconditionally Loved. We deal with alcohol, and substance abuse, we face homosexuality and sexual immorality, we judge, and we doubt. And we are loved all the same, and we do not pretend to be any more or any less than we are.

Moons, hot tubs, and super cuddles

I can't help but think that when creating the universe and setting it all in motion, God knew last night was going to happen.
and that makes me smile a little bit.
