Break my heart for what breaks Yours.

Hey! I'm Marilee.

I'm a college sophomore from North Carolina, trying to live a life that reflects the amazing love I've been given by my heavenly father. Without Him, I am NOTHING.

I'm a high school youth group leader, and have been so blessed with my incredible youth. I believe God has called me to enter the mission field permanently in the future. I have a heart for the people of Albania, and am currently learning to speak Albanian!

I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ. -- Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

Don’t give up hope.  Never give up hope.






“I believe in the God whose love lifts me up when the world has broken me down. I will praise Him forever.”



“If what happens inside the four walls of the church doesnt make a difference in the streets we travel on to get there, then maybe we’ve missed the point”

I am proud to be from the south-where tea is sweet and accents are sweeter; summer starts in April; front porches are wide and words are long; mac and cheese is a vegetable; pecan pie is a staple; Y’all is the only proper pronoun; chicken is fried and biscuits come with gravy; everything is darling and someone is always getting their heart blessed.

I find my day is dramatically impacted when I wake up with God.

And it’s amazing.  The book is about what God expects of us, and the fact that the universal Church has become complacent.  We would rather sit safe in our church pews than be forced to face the world’s violence, suffering, and turmoil.  But the reality is that we are a called people.  We are called to action: to be Christ’s ambassadors to the world.  (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Richard Stearns writes, “We are carriers of the gospel— the good news that was meant to change the world.  Belief is not enough.  Worship is not enough.  Personal morality is not enough.  And Christian community is not enough.  God has always demanded more.  When we committed ourselves to following Christ, we also committed to living our lives in such a way that a watching world would catch a glimpse of God’s character— His love, justice, and mercy— through our words, actions, and behavior… God chose us to be His representatives.  He called us to go out, to proclaim the “good news”— to be the “good news”— and to change the world.  Living out our faith privately was never meant to be an option”

Are you showing God’s character through your words, actions, and behavior?
