About Me

My photo
The youngest of three girls, I used to be the littlest lamb. Then I met a boy, fell deep in love, and now I'm a Krasen! But in my heart, I'll forever be my parents' Littlest Lamb too. I'm told I'm over-dramatic, and I prefer to think of it passionate about my feelings, but you know, whichever...I tell myself I love spontaneity, but let's be honest, if I didn't have organization, I would lose it. So I love planned spontaneity (totally not an oxymoron). I love loving. And I love to write. Enjoy the drama (passion), organization, and love as it unfolds in my life...a life that is not my own, but is dedicated to serving my God and my husband. And a life in which I am clothed in grace.

The gift of self-forgetfulness

How refreshing is this quote?

"Because Jesus was someone, you're free to be no one."
              - Tchividjian

He is amazing so I don't have to be. Especially on days when I feel like I have no purpose or can't see what that purpose is. My job is to believe in a purpose that He hasn't revealed to me yet. My job is to believe He is greater than my insecurities. My job is to live up to His expectations as His child. Ultimately, my only job is to be who He created me to be.  I should live and give my life to bring glory to Him. I should be starstruck over Him.

"Many pulpits across the land consistently preach the Christian and not the Christ."
             - Todd Wilken
This is the gift of self-forgetfulness.

"True faith gets a man out of himself and into Christ."
              - Sinclair Ferguson 
My sister said, "Who says you have to be famous to leave a legacy? That's not what's most important, and we should get over ourselves!" It's so true too. Dawn's a smarty-pants, and I love her.
