30 Days Is A Long Time...

My fellow bloggy friend/ real life friend/ still my roommate in my heart Lindsey has decided to do this 30 Day Blog Challenge. And for some reason, I have talked myself into joining her. While school isn't too incredibly crazy right now, it could be fun. 

So here's days 1-3 combined into 1 post.

meaning behind your blog name

It started out as Until Every Heart Has Heard. This came from a Steve Fee song called Burn For You. One part says, 

"to the ends of the earth, to the farthest part until every heart has heard." 

That line just stuck with me. It is so engrained on my heart to not stop telling the world about Jesus until every single heart knows Him.

Right now it says, "You are my passion." It's from the words to a Jesus Culture song. I have been challenged lately to really find what my passion is and live it out. He is my passion, and I want my life to reflect that.

first love

Like Linds, I was not a fan of this question. Because, honestly, I don't want to talk about it. Then I remembered a conversation I overheard in Starbucks a few months back and which sparked some thoughts on love:

How do people who don't know the Lord know what love is? The Bible says, "God is love." 1 John is full of what love is. How can two people who don't know who God is even begin to think that they love each other. They don't know what love is. and if I didn't know Him, I wouldn't know what it is either. I am so thankful for a Savior who loves me more than words can even express. He pursues me, rescues me, redeemed me, is faithful, thinks I am beautiful and perfect, loves me unconditionally. He is love in action. Every single day.
