Hmm

Remember that when we ask God for great things, we are asking God for great hardship to follow. For God must take us through great hardship, so that He may refine us. It is only and only then that we are able to handle the great things we asked for.

Rapid Change.

A couple of weeks ago I found out that my father is moving to Colorado. When I went home to visit, I saw the for sale sign posted in the front yard, and my heart sank. The house I have lived in since I was born will soon be in the hands of the next mysterious family that decides to buy it. It is overwhelming, sad, and seriously taking place too soon.

Daddy moves on December 28th , which means I have to find someone to babysit my cat Boo Boo until I can get an apartment this summer. I love my cat. I have had him since he was a baby, so he is seriously like my baby. Every time I come home he jumps up to give me a hug and a kiss. I can not bear the fact of giving him away. I am praying that God will make a way for him. I know that sounds nonsensical, but I am firm believer that animals play an integral part in human life.

I know everything will work out, but right now it seems like everything in my life is like a tornado. I am ready for it to end and for things to fall into place as they should be.

"Whatever You're doing inside of me, it feels like chaos but somehow there's peace."

Abba Daddy,

Please help me to remain strong even though I don't fully comprehend why things are going the way they are. Help me to trust in You and lean not on my own understanding, but to look to You and know that You are bigger than the tornados that stir my life. I know You are mighty, and I know You are faithful. Your love is steadfast and eternal. You will finish the good work You have started in me, and You will give me the grace to complete Your will.

I love You, I love You, I love You. Stay close to my heart, and let me feel Your presence every second of my life, dear Father.

In Your precious Son's holy name,

Amen

Thoughts, Thoughts, Thoughts....

There are countless religions, but only one resurrection.

There are many roads, but only the narrow one leads us to life.

Many will come in His name, and He will say I never knew You.

The heart is wayward and it is God who searches it daily.

Grace is immeasurable, but justice is essential.

Love is universal, but which definition are we to live by?

Here is my heart.

Here is my heart. Here is my heart. You can have it all. You can have it all.

- Kim Walker

Though the troubles that surround me seem to be never-ending , I still long to draw closer to God.

Instead of blaming Him or crying out with the why questions, I just want to press even more into Him.

Here is my heart. Take it. Refine it. Build it. Strengthen it. You can have it all. Let there be nothing that holds me back from the completeness of You in my life.

You are awesome. You are mighty. You hold the universe. You hold us tiny specs and I thank You for that, O God.

He prays that my faith would not fail.

So many times we humans think we can plan out our lives and it will work out accordingly.

I, however, cannot and will not live this way. I don't want to plan something when I know there a Mighty God who knows better than I do. I want to surrender to Him, I want to live radically to glorify His name, and His name alone. I don't want to be the spotlight for me, but for Him and for Him only.

May this flesh fade and allow Love to shine through!

It's not about me. It's not about me. It's all about you Daddy.

Turkey Day.

Thanksgiving can not get here soon enough.

A break is much needed at this point.

I love how... :)

I love how God knows our inner most thoughts. I love how He answers prayers and how we get to testify,for His glory, when those prayers are answered. I love how great and mighty God is. I love Him, I love Him, I love Him; and I am thankful that He has my heart.

Inspiration and Revelation. :]

If there is something in our lives that we desire more than the living God, we must immediately burn this idol and toss its ashes into the sea. We must then repent, and place the Father into the core of hearts and live in His truths daily. He must be our one and only; Our all in all. The all consuming fire that burns upon our hearts.

Write Your name upon my heart, Father. Ignite it. Transform it. Break it.

I want to be used by You and You alone. No one else or thing will do.
