8months and counting until my name starts to sound weird haha.. Alisha Crespo..the heck?

<3 Only God knows what He was thinking when He set this whole thing up.

&lt;3 Only God knows what He was thinking when He set this whole thing up.

Sure this new season in life is meant to be full of change, excitement and what-notery.. and I AM really enjoying the realization of Gods timing in this area of my life has in fact come to fruition. However the melancholy that dwells in the tiniest, darkest corners of my personality is not liking the realization that change and separation will have to happen eventually in many relationships, situations, positions, etc. This is the number one thing I am not feeling great about. I’m already feeling tension at work, with friends, even something weird in the family area but that’s expected.

Ofcourse every time my mind thinks something I like to combat the silly thoughts with the truth of Gods words. Hebrews 13:8 tells me straight up: Christ is the same yesterday today and forever.

Here is where I feel like a complete goof. I realize I’m extra dependent on keeping temporal things forever when its impossible. Everything and everyone plays their roles in a lifetime. That is the reason for seasons. I’m praying that God helps me hold loosely to the temporal and allows me to cling to things that are never changing—His love, His word, His promises, Him.

Honestly even the thought of my position in my family being the youngest, only girl, last child in the nest—now into fully independent woman, living with new husband, one day to-be mother etc.. its kinda scary. But God, with you in control and knowing that you always WILL be..provides some ease.

For those in my life at this time… know that I love you very dearly and pray that I have played a somewhat important role in your life and plan on doing so until God says it’s time for change.

I admit it, tumblr, I’ve been hiding. So sue me. It’s a defense mechanism. I’ve been sick for a few days so that doesn’t help but the overactive mind has continued to amaze me. :”She hates me, they can care less, money..do i have enough. Do i love or hate my job?? God am I still doing what you are wanting of me? “

And so the mind runs.. hiding is what I do best at times like these. Hiding in the best place..your presence, your word, your promises.

I love this photo. It really does say a thousand words; Words that not many can understand but us. Praying for perseverance and determination.

A great shot from this weekend @ Momentum Youth Convention {via friend:Caryn Ditsch}.

What an eye opening experience to play/sing along side a great team of people.— To see this sea of young people worship unashamed and undignified was something sure to bring a smile to your face. I’m so thankful for what God is doing in this next generation.

He was worth the wait and he still is.. I’m patiently awaiting the next God-orchestrated and written chapter for us.

Life and it’s current changes have brought distance but the distance strengthens the bond and holds us together. Praise God for almost 4 years of abundant love and learning..

This song plays at work from time to time, and when it does..I put my dancing shoes on.

Dear Autumn, my wardrobe warmly welcomes you. Burnt orange and mustard yellow is where it’s at, for me, lately. {Oh, but Autumn, take it easy with the flu and cold bugs you got going around..I’m not digging this cough and runny nose.}

Sincerely,

Little’ol me.

Yep. They threw me a surprise party. My first ever. I always thought about what it would be like to have one. I wondered what my reaction would be. Would I cry? Would I laugh? Turns out I did neither.. My response was, “What the heck?!” Either way it was a blast. The perfect party for me—Super chill, movies, good people, and good food. I’m thrilled for this next year, I can hardly explain why. I just feel like it will be maybe one of the biggest years I’ve lived yet.. At least I’m speaking it into existence that it will be, heh. Stay tuned..I’ll keep you updated, ofcourse.
