Aloha y'all! My name is Erika. I am saved by the grace of God and am completely undeserving of it. I'm not perfect and I never will be. I screw up day in and day out, but that's the beautiful mystery of the Lord's love for me. I'm here on tumblr to express, not impress. I live in California, but I dream of living in a quaint, little town in the South someday. I guess you can say that I'm a Cali-girl who has been Southern-ized. =] I love Country music. It changed my life... Especially Keith Urban. I love nature and scenic things - like sunsets, beaches, the countryside, and things like that.

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
1 John 4:18

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11-13

"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
1 John 2:1-2

"She’d rather wear a pair of cut-off jeans than a fancy evening dress.
And with her windows rolled down and her hair all blown around,
she’s a hot southern mess.
She’ll take a beer over, white wine.
And a campfire over candle light,
And when it comes to love, oh her idea of a romantic night...
Is listenin’ to old Alabama, drivin' through Tennessee..."
Brad Paisley
