karli!

About me:

"His Cross will never ask for more than i can give.
for it’s not my strength, but His.”

"she's country-
from the songs she plays
to the prayers she prays.
that's the way she was born and raised-
she ain't afraid to stay- COUNTRY.
brother, she's country."



i go after what i want-
i don't let anything get in the way of what i want to achieve!
i know that God's saving my fella for me- just like i'm saving myself for him. and in God's time, He will show this man to me-
if you want to make my day, make me laugh!
or you can just feed me O:)
the most important things in my life are FAITH * FAMILY * FRIENDS * FOOD!
i can't even begin to describe to you what my family and friends mean to me. they're indescribable, they are blessings, they are my strength!
i'm not a physically strong gal - i might need your help to pick up something you might find simple and light, but once you get to know me - you learn what i'm made of. and it doesn't have anything to do with PHYSICAL strength.
material things don't mean squat to me. when it comes down to it, i'd much rather just have a big hug :)
i count my blessings A LOT. i think it's just because i'm so fortunate to have so many ♥


“every time i breathe” – big daddy weave:
i am sure all of Heaven has heard me cry, as i tell You all the reasons why this life is just too hard. but day by day, without fail, i’m finding everything i need, and everything that You are to me. every time i breathe You seem a little bit closer, i never want to leave, i want to stay in Your warm embrace. oh, basking in the glory shining from Your face. and every time i get another glimpse of Your heart, i realize it’s true, that You are so marvelous God, and i am so in love with You. now how could i after knowing One so great, respond to You in any way, that’s less than all i have to give? but by Your grace i want to love You not with what i say, but everyday, in a way that my life is lived. wrapped in Your mercy i want to live and never leave, i am held by how humble, yet overwhelmed by Your majesty. captured by grace and now i’m finding i am free, You are marvelous God, and knowing You is everything.

“bring the rain” – mercyme:
i can count a million times, people asking me how i can praise You with all that i’ve gone through. the question just amazes me, can circumstances possibly change who i forever am in You? maybe since my life was changed long before these rainy days, it’s never really ever crossed my mind, to turn my back on you oh Lord, my only shelter from the storms, but instead i draw closer through these times. so i pray- bring me joy, bring me peace. bring the chance to be free. bring me anything that brings You glory. and i know there’ll be days when this life brings me pain, but if that’s what it takes to praise You, Jesus, bring the rain! i am Yours regardless of the dark clouds that may loom above because You are much greater than my pain. You who made a way for me by suffering Your destiny, so tell me what’s a little rain?

“if You want me to” -ginny owens:
the pathway is broken and the signs are unclear, and i don't know the reason, why You brought me here. but just because You love me the way that You do, i'm gonna walk through the valley, if You want me to. cause i'm not who i was, when i took my first step. and i'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet. so if all of these trials bring me closer to You, then i will go through the fire, if You want me to. it may not be the way i would have chosen, when You lead me through a world that's not my home. but You never said it would be easy, You only said i'll never go alone. so when the whole world turns against me and i'm all by myself, and i can't hear You answer my cries for help, i'll remember the suffering Your love put You through, and i will go through the valley, if You want me to.

“mountain of God” –third day:
even though the journey's long, and i know the road is hard, well, the One who's gone before me, He will help me carry on and after all that i've been through, now i realize the truth, that i must go through the valley, to stand upon the mountain of God.

“all that i can do” - bethany dillon:
when the waves begin to rise and all my hope fails. in confidence i'll close my eyes, trusting You'll be there. all that i can do is hold onto You and follow where you lead, where You're leading me. all that i can do is hold onto You and let You bring me through. it's all that i can do.

“beauty from pain” – superchick:
my whole world is the pain inside me. the best i can do is just get through the day. when life before is only a memory, i wonder why God let me walk through this place. and though i can't understand why this happened, i know that i will when i look back someday and see how You've brought beauty from ashes, and made me as gold purified through these flames.....You will bring beauty from my pain.



i have a heart condition called POTS – Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. this illness has changed my life. i’ve met many people who’ve become some of my closest friends through this illness and i’m not angry that i have it…
*i believe that God has plans for everyone, so try not to get frustrated with life, because He’s gonna work things out for you – you just have to be patient.
i’m ready for whatever life throws at me, because i have Him walking by my side. “many things about tomorrow, i don’t seem to understand. but i know who holds tomorrow, and i know who holds my hand”.

and the only important thing
is that you meet it with courage,
and with the best you have to give."
