(Thanks, Tara!)



This is what I've been learning this morning:
Matthew 5:20 says "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

This means we are not called to be righteous just in our living, but in our motives, in our dreams, & in the recesses of our minds.  Sound impossible?  By our own efforts, yes.  But that's what Jesus came here to do.  By the supernatural grace of God, we can achieve this purity of heart.  Wow!

Cabin 1!

Can you be praying for these little gals?  Each and every single one of them are back at camp this summer!!  They were a HANDFUL.  It was the first time at camp (let alone being away from home for two weeks straight) for the first time.  Lots of homesick tears, neglecting veggies on the plate, but lots of joy, prayers to receive Christ in their hearts, and fun.  One of them is especially in need of extra love and the Lord.  I heard that one of them threw up at dinner last night!! :( There's nothing like throw up to make you want your Mom.  Lift up their counselors, Sarah and Holly, as they care for them!

About Me!

So since I'm revitalizing my Blog because of SheReadsTruth, I thought I'd reintroduce myself via photography!

I'm Nicole (Left)!  This is myself, my (twin) sister, Meg.  We are officially Pitt Grads!!

These are a few of my friends, crammed into my Living Room on my (& Meg's) birthday this year. Climax of my life! My roommates surprised us with a Surprise Potluck with ~50 of our friends to piggy-back off of what my friends call "Living Room Worship" nights. LRW began when a few of us realized we loved The United Pursuit's idea of hosting worship nights in Living Rooms...so we did so as well!! Looking forward to a Retreat with these great friends in a few weeks!! (:

These were the awesome roommates I was referring to above.  Life has taken them ALL to Colorado!! I need to get out there asap, I love them to death!

I studied in Valparaiso, Chile last year. I climbed a volcano.  I love South America, but love where God's calling me currently more-- Pittsburgh!  Love my family, they came to visit!

I love my city, the Burgh, PA!  So much.

This is Summer's Best Two Weeks.  I've spent many summers here.  It is Heaven on Earth!

I'm going to be an elementary teacher, because of these little guys!

I love my church.  Seriously.  North Way Christian Community.

& God is just so good.  So wildly good!
Thanks for stopping in!

I'm back! Dusting off the cobwebs of my Blog from my summer break.  Because...I recently stumbled upon this awesome idea!  Join myself and fellow women in reading Truth together!  The idea is that we read the same study together and write about what God's teaching us.  Right now we're in the middle of Prayer from the youversion.com app-- Instagram it, Journal it, Tweet it, whatever!  You seriously have to join us!
