So I am new to this whole blogging thing so bear with me while I figure it out. I love journaling, so I figured I might as well share a little with the world. So here goes nothing...my first post:

I'm Kacey Lynn <3

  I know I don't have all the answers, but I daily read a book that does.
 I know that I'm not always quick to forgive others who wrong me, but I follow a God who is.
 I know I'm not always the greatest at listening to others problems, but I pray to One who is.
 I know I have so many flaws and imperfectipons, but I follow Someone who has not one. 
 I know I don't have it all together, but I believe in a Savior that does.
 I know I can be filled with pride sometimes, or should I say all the time, but I follow a Humble  Servant who has nothing but humility within Him. 

 So as I come to these realizations I ask that you don't look at me, but please focus on the Jesus that lives in me! 
I don't pray for humility, I pray for a better understanding of who God is and who I am not and that within itself will leave me humbled. 
I don't pray for faith, I pray for opportunities to trust Him more so that my faith may be strengthened. 
I don't pray for God to take struggles away from me, I pray for the Spirit to strengthen my obedience so that I place the blame on myself for my shortcomings and not God. 
I don't pray for riches or fame, I pray that His Glorious riches and fame would be known. 
I need trials to grow, I need difficult times to discover joy. Because it is within those difficult times that God grows me. 
What I don't need is difficult times from my own inability to follow Him. 
If I'm not learning I'm probably not seeking. 
If I'm not growing I'm probably not risking. 
If I'm not hurting then I'm probably not loving enough.

Winning The War Over Our Sin

Sin. It gets us out of the Lords will and destroys us. The enemy uses it to break us down. He knows what we struggle with most and when we are at our lowest and he knows exactly when to attack. We receive the seeds of sin before we even realized we've received it. The enemy has designed sin to get us out of the will of God so we will never ever see the power and plan the Lord has for our lives. This sucks. What do we do? Sit around full of self pity, letting it happen? Just say "ahhh darn i'm too weak to overcome this" Think that we are too far gone to ever turn back to our Father? NO WE FIGHT. We continue to address our sin until we are free. We demand discipline in every aspect of our lives, that includes demanding discipline of those you spend your time with. We stand up against generational curses and say "No more! It stops with me!" We must WANT to be free to be free. When there is a sin that is strong and consistent in your life a

I Know You're With Me To The Very End

An update on our week in Houston for all who want to know: Y'all, this week has been bittersweet. If I am honest, I am still processing it all and I am struggling a little bit. Lets be real, I am struggling a lot. Anyways, let me just tell you the whole journey. About a month ago, I was laying on the floor, literally sobbing and asking my Abba "why?" Every doctor we had talked to had either turned me away or told me there was nothing more they could do for me. We had gotten no answers since I got diagnosed in 2015. Cameron shared with our friend, Steve Murphy, the dead end we had hit and how hopeless we felt after a service about feeling helpless. Steve, being our family in Christ immediately wanted to help and connected us with another man in our church, Leeland. Leeland selflessly spent hours of his time to research and found us a doctor at M.D. Anderson in Houston. Although there was a waiting list to get into Dr. Slopis, we got an appointment the day we were

NOW THOSE ALTARS IN THE WILDERNESS TELL THE STORY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS

There have been seasons in my life that lasted way longer than I would have liked them too. After a long while I began to realize wishing those seasons away and turning to so many things but Jesus to make those seasons end was not working, but instead was making me bitter. My prayer in those seasons went from, "take this cup from me" to, "as long as it takes to get to a place of surrender I'm gonna stay right here." My hard times brought me to a place of fully surrendering fear and fully trusting Jesus, something I struggled severely with. Our sweet son was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis last week. I think if this had happened before those other hard seasons I would be totally crippled by fear right now. But I can honestly say that I'm not fearful of what this diagnosis might bring, sad yes, but not afraid.  I used to always expect the worst. Expect whatever came next to be something that once again would bring bad news. This time, although it
