So I'm coming to realize that maybe, just perhaps, life is too interesting and silly and fun to take things so seriously all of the time! Maybe every experience doesn't need to have a life lesson to teach, doesn't need to make me reconsider how God moves in the world, doesn't need to be just so SERIOUS!
With this said and as I'm realizing just how much crap there is out there that I can't control anyways, I'm going to attempt to write some more entertaining, silly, offsides, weird, funny stuff and not always make my work sound as if you just picked up a devotional guide!
After all, if you can't laugh at the things that are around you every day then what can you laugh at? Life shouldn't require a stand-up comic to make us giggle...God made it quite interesting enough without that being a requirement. So here's to some more light-hearted topics and thoughts - you only thought you knew what went through my mind up 'til now! :)

A Song To Sing
How Great Thou Art
By: Carl Boberg, 1859 - 1940
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all The works Thy Hand hath made.
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout The universe displayed.
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

Who I Am (Briefly)
- Jennifer Lill
- In some ways I'm just your average girl making my way through the world. Along the way I've seen love and heartbreak, good times and bad, and found that through it all, my relationship with the Lord is what carries me through. I don't claim to be all that wise but I hope that through my writings, you'll see more of who God is and draw near to Him. So that's me, a little light shining in the darkness, pointing to the One who makes all the difference.
