  • true love

    time for reflection and time for renewal
    that's all i really wanted
    time away from the normal day to day
    that's what i asked for
    but You gave me so much more
    You gave me wisdom, forgiveness, and love
    the blessings You bestowed upon me
    are so much more than i could have imagined
    how can i thank You for Your endless grace and mercy
    not to mention the undeserved time
    the time for another chance
    another chance to do things right
    i don't deserve it, Father
    i don't deserve it
    how many times will You forgive me?
    a hundred?
    a thousand?
    a billion?
    Your love is always reaching, always covering, always there
    it just always is
    oh how i thank You
    oh how i love You
    oh how I want to be a part of You

    God sent His one and only Son to die for the world with no guarantee as to how many would accept Him.-Dr J.

    That's
    true love!

  • Go forth and do what??

    So, today was my last class session ever, and after my final on Wednesday, I will be done for good. Forever. Amen.  As excited as I am about finishing school (yay!), I'm not so excited about, well, not knowing what to do next.  I have been praying about what to do, and I haven't really heard an answer, well not a clear one anyways.  I've been praying a lot today while driving to and from school about what I should do and also about other situations in my life.  I arrived home and I pulled into the garage, and I just laid back in my car for a brief moment.  I had been telling God all these possibilities of what I could do and I was rambling on and on about how I NEED to know what I should do....and then I just stopped for a second and asked, "God, will You just tell me what You want me to do?" This is what I heard, "Go forth and be fruitful." Go forth and be fruitful? Go forth and be fruitful?! Ok, go forth and be fruitful.  I guess I can do that.  But, God, I'm not married. You want me to go forth and be fruitful? Then I realized He wasn't talking about going out and having a bunch of babies.  I looked up the word "fruitful" in the Bible and I found this passage in Phillipians chapter 1, especially verses 21-24.

    Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.[d] 20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.

     27Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel 28without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, 30since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

    I'm not sure, but I think what God is saying is that whatever I choose to do, whether I stay here or move away, or work in a school, a hospital, or a factory-He wants me to continue to serve Him and to serve Him more and more. He wants me to produce fruits, fruits of the Spirit, and to help others produce fruits as well. Ultimately, it's about my obedience to God in HOW I live my life, not so much WHAT I specifically do because He can use me anywhere if I allow Him.  I'm sure He'll let me know in due time if there's something He really wants me to do. I'm trusting Him with that.  So, for now and forever, I will do my best to be fruitful!

  • I'm not settling for ordinary!

    I woke up this morning with a new song in my heart! I am not going to live just an ordinary life, doing ordinary things, with an ordinary job in an ordinary place! I will be EXTRAORDINARY!  Oh, but I will not do this alone, my friend, or without cause.  My God will lead me there.....and He will do things, unimaginable things.  Read on. 

    I've been going through this "dry" period in my life lately and it's not all together a bad thing, but it's not really very fun or exciting either.  But, one thing I've learned as I've been walking (sometimes running, sometimes galloping, or sometimes meandering) through this journey we call "life" is that often times God gets our attention (or He does so with me) by slowing us down.  It takes me a while to realize what He's doing, but when I finally become still and just know that He is God, things start becoming more clear.  I'm not a seasoned saint (yet), but I'm striving to be all that I can be for my Creator. 

    I might not know at this very moment what I'm going to be doing after I graduate in a couple of months (yikes!), who I will marry, where I'm going to live, or anything beyond what I'm doing right now....but HE knows. He knows the plans He has for me and that is all I need.  I'm in His hands and He holds me there and He doesn't let go....He never lets go....and I am content, content in knowing and believing that He is all I need.

About Me

  • Each day, as I grow closer to my Savior, I begin to see more of who I really am. I'm finally realizing that God doesn't desire perfection, He desires my heart. He wants nothing more than my broken, scarred, and weary heart just the way it is. Day by day, He's mending, molding and shaping me into the woman He has created me to be, preparing me for the mission He has in store for my life. There is nothing more exciting and fulfilling than trusting in His plan and loving Him with all my heart.
