boundaries

I am his... thats all.... thats where my identity lies.

The creator the universe wants me and I want him.
Just thinking about that gives me chills.

He cares about my heart, and wants it.
He is perusing me.

His love for me isn't confusing.
It doesn't cause me to questions, he just loves.

He is my love.
He is my first love.

New Love

I am the kind of person that loves to keep my options open.
I hate the thought of being tied down to just one thing and am not a huge fan of planing....UNLESS it involves cooking.

I LOVE TO COOK.

I don't know where this passion birthed from, but what I DO know is that its new and I love it.

Tonight I am making Chipotle Chicken, Spanish Rice, veggies, and chipotle guacamole.
Sounds good huh?

I made the chicken marinade last night and now its sitting in my fridge soaking up the yummy-ness.. just waiting to be cooked.

LOVE IT! :)

Starting Over

Today I Decided that I am going to start Blogging again.

Why?
Because it keeps my mind fresh and helps to process.

Time.
I never seem to have enough of it and I hate the face when things get crazy God is always the 1st thing to go.

Why? Why do we always push away the things that are most important to us when we are stressed. Well at least thats what I do.

Friends too.... I push them away when life is crazy because for some odd reason I feel like I can handle everything one my own.

God did NOT create us to do life alone. We were meant to share our lives with people.

I am done pushing away.

1. God time
2. Dana Time
3. Love time.

Be Love.

life.

Love, Joy, peace, patients, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

The fruit of the spirit.

God has been teaching me a lot about self-control, and fruit that had not bee true to me in my life.
I love the freedom that had come with it.

I feel so loved and blessed and cared for.

God really knows what he is talking about. Its soo hard to listen, but once I do its so life giving.

I feel loved.

BE Love.

Staying Connected

Today I was feeling very insecure about things... normally I dont feel this way...
I asked God what was going on in my heart and he said..

"you need to stay connected to the vine"

ummm DUH... no wonder I have been feeling this way.. If i am not leaning in to my source.. the one that my identity is interwoven from.. then NO WONDER I feel insecure.

Hi, My name is Dana Lyn Crabtree.
I am Gods beloved daughter.
I want more then anything to look, live and Love like Jesus.
I DO NOT follow the world.

Be Love.

Make New Friends, but keep the old.

There is just something special about Old friends.

The past 2 days I got to hang out with my friends Jeff and Ryan. We were really great friends in High School and then after we all graduated there families moved to Georgia (they are cousins).

Even though I haven't seen them in years it didn't matter, the conversation was rich. There was a comfort level with them that's harder to obtain in newer friendships. Yeah, we have changed a lot in the past years but our hearts are still similar.

I feel blessed.

Now, don't get me wrong... I LOVE my new friends. God has done amazing things through the friendships.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Be Love.

Updating!

I know I know I know... I am horrible blogger... most people do it everyday yet I do it once a month! (if even)

Krista... this is for you more then anyone Else.

I just usually dont have much of anything to blog about. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy my life. I love simple pleasures. I could sit on my front stoop for hours with out moving, but is that really something that people want to read about? Me sitting!? Or the thoughts that go through my head as I sit?
Such as:
"wow, that grass is sooo green"
"hummm its soo interesting that birds hop, its like they have so much joy they cant contain it"
"Look that man is passing, oh gosh he is picking his nose... i bet most people pick there nose while they are driving."
"how can she say to me love will find a way, gather round all you clowns let me hear you say, hey you got to hide your love away."

I think not!!!

I will try to think of ways to make my life more exciting!

be LOVE.
