hopelikegoldenanchorsI'm Kristin Hawk, and I am deeply, madly in love with Jesus Christ.
His love for us is immeasurable, and it is given in endless abundance.
I'm a 20-year-old Pittsburgh native, relocating to San Francisco to become Christ's soldier and fight to free those enslaved, hurting, impoverished, and oppressed.
I'm a sinner redeemed, whose main focus is to live to honor my loving God, and to house the heart of my Father.

Hi, everyone! I haven’t been updating here in an extremely long time, and to my severe surprise most of you and then some have stuck it out (KUDOS!). So, if you liked my blog, may I interest you in following my new blog: Coffee With The King.

A lot has changed since discipleship training school, and my tumblr needed a facelift.
So I plan on making Coffee With The King my new full-time blog. It’s a place for all things coffee, Jesus, outdoors, and other beautiful things!
Possibly deleting Hope Like Golden Anchors in some time (possibly).

So, take a moment to check me out at coffeewiththeking.tumblr.com :) love you all!

Our Father’s House has a welcome mat.

It is carved with valleys. It covers vast oceans. It is freckled with forests and stained with painted canyons. It reached further than the eye can see and occupies every which corner and crevice of this Earth we inhabit.
You are standing on that welcome mat. At this very moment you reside at the threshold of the Kingdom if the Most High, and our Father is saying with favor and love, “Welcome home, my dear child.”

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter. "

Reasons to smile:
- God is good. Now and always.
- 13 days until I leave for California :)
- Tomorrow is Sunday! And 2 church services tomorrow!
- Kayaking a bunch this week.
- God has been teaching me patience and reckless trust in Him, through emotional trial. Can’t say it’s all been easy, but it’s so worth it to know that my heart is being refined to glorify Him.
- And cuz my face is on your dash!! Woohoo! 
Have a wonderful night, everyone!!

I hope that one day I can have the honor, blessing, and privilege to say that I acted as an instrument of God to bring others to Jesus Christ.

Forget fame. Forget money. Forget all of that.

It’s garbage. It’s rust. It’s disposable.

Let me be a tool for the Lord’s glory and an earth-defined nobody. Then I will be a Father-defined somebody.

Sometimes God makes you wait for the things you want,

Not to test your patience, but because the end result’s value and worth is amplified with every minute you’re willing to sit tight in reverence to His will.

It’ll be hard. But I’m willing to wait.

Christ-following bloggers should be concerned by the message they extend to those who visit their blogs. Not by the number of likes, reblogs, and followers.

I mean, heck. Jesus had 12 followers, and He turned out alright!

Christian, just as it is important to honor God with your actions, please remember to honor Him with your words as well.

I’m talking about swearing and cursing. Coming from a girl who in high school had one of the filthiest mouths I’ve known, it is important that your surrender to Christ is in every aspect of yourself. This includes surrendering of what you choose to say or not say.

Essentially, it is part of your testimony. So treat your vocabulary with respect.

If it didn’t come from Christ’s mouth, it probably shouldn’t come from yours.

Thanks and God bless, my family! :)

YES.

YES.

Can I pray for anyone tonight?

Reply or inbox me any prayer requests and I would be more than happy to pray for you! :)

So may I pray for you?

Today, I had the experience of running into two guys I graduated high school with. We were all art buddies- I spent my free periods sketching and creating, as did they. And though all 3 of us were Christians, for much of my high school career, my actions were not a good representation of my God.

The normal questions arose. “How are you?” “What have you been up to?” 

After doing the asking, they returned the questions, and I told them about my quick-approaching move to California, discipleship training, and outreach in Vietnam.

They were pretty stunned, but greeted my statements with the most sincere remarks of encouragement, and love. They were two brothers I never knew I had.

God can come into someone’s life, and in a split-second, their entire lives can change, and transform. The metamorphosis of a spiritually-dead creature to a spiritually-alive disciple, with a heart thirsty for God, is one of the most beautiful things, both to witness as well as to experience firsthand.

Never count yourself out, if you feel you are yet to be transformed by God. He is there, waiting for you to reach out to Him in sincerity. He will wait for you as long as it takes- He wants you that bad!! He is crazy in love with you!!

Keep strong, brothers and sisters <3

I hear so many people say, “I’d like to do this or that, but I’m waiting for God to give me a sign that I should do it.”

How about you just go! And go with reckless abandon and bold intensity.
If it’s right, God will just increase your momentum.
If it’s wrong, He’ll close the door.
Simple as that! :)

Anyone who read my question from Tuesday about sex, this is an amazing message.

“The Truth About Sex and Your Soul”: part of the Money, Sex, and Power series from Neighborhood Church of Castro Valley.

Beautiful Father, You’ve placed blessings in my burdens.

Let me NEVER forget that. You’ve given me weapons against the enemy in the very hurts he’s tried to inflict on me.

I won’t be taken down by the likes of him! YOU are my protection, my love, my inheritance, and YOUR LOVE is my means of his destruction!

My beautiful Father, I long for nothing but to delight in Your Name!

Let my heart be so full of satisfaction in You, that if I were ripped from my house, my friends, my comforts, that I would do nothing but praise You for allowing me to retain the knowledge and faith in Your Holy ways!

I will follow at your feet like a child- YOUR child! 

Your love and sacrifice is my bread, my water, my shelter, my oxygen!

I need nothing else, but You!
