| If I've learned one thing through the times in my life that have been filled with so much pain it's that it only lasts for a season and that God is faithful to carry you through it. He gives large portions of grace, understanding, and love if you stay tender hearted enough to receive. The season of loss and grief can be sweet too. I believe that God works everything out together for the good and uses these times to draw us nearer to Himself; intimacy. It’s in these times of brokenness that He shows His faithfulness and unconditional love. I’ve been holding onto these verses: Psalm 3: 3-5 “But Your are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the Lord I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy hill. I lie down and sleep. I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.” He will show Himself strong in the midst of my broken frailty. When my heart is shattered by loss there is an opportunity to welcome a supernatural power in my life. My life will never be the same, but the life of a Christian never is about sameness. It’s always about change…I’m being conformed into the image of Christ. Lord help me in my weakness… | | |
| This is a beautiful song...enjoy... The flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line
Your family in suits and ties
And you're free
The ache I feel inside
Is where the life has left your eyes
I'm alone for our last goodbye
But you're free
I remember you like yesterday
Yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
Oh I remember you like yesterday
Yesterday
And until I'm with you, I carry on
Adrift on your ocean floor
I feel weightless numb and sore
A part of you and me is torn
You're free
I woke from a dream last night
I dreamt that you were by my side
Reminding me I still had life
In me
I remember you like yesterday
Yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
Oh I remember you like yesterday
Yesterday
And until I'm with you, I carry on
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday | | |
| What's it going to take for this generation to leave what the world has behind and run whole heartedly after God? Now i'm asking myself this question as well. I find so many times I think I'm wholly the Lords there's something that stands in the way of our relationship. I'm tired of it!! I want more of God!! I want to want what He wants, to love who He loves (everyone, yes even ppl I don't "like"). Why is my generation so easily swept away in things that are not eternal? This nation of America has sooo many distractions it's insane! I want to make a difference, I want my life to be meaningful and have impact, purpose, for God's glory and not my own. So I ask, what will it take for us as a generation to wake up and seek the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength ? Lord help us! Make us desperate for only You! | | |
| God calls us up higher (Rev 4:1) if you live up to the highest and best that you know in the outer level of your life God will continually say, "Friend, come up even higher." Both God and satan use the strategy of elevation, but satan uses it so he gets you to fasten your idea of what holiness is far beyond what flesj and blood could ever bear or achieve. Life then becomes a spiritual acrobatics performance. You cling to it, trying to maintain your balence and daring not to move. BUT when God elevates you by His grace into heavenly places, you find a vast plateau where you can move about with ease... God has to hide from us what He is doing, until, due to growth of our personal character, we get to the level where He is then able to reveal it. -Oswald Chambers KEEP PRESSING ON CHILDREN OF GOD!!!!!!! God's got something to show you through all of the craziness of your life (that goes for me too!!). | | |
| Hmm...well I'm not even sure if anyone really reads these, but here goes anyway. Things are interesting over here...I'm finding myself getting lost in work. It's like when I come home I don't enjoy doing anything...so I go to bed because I enjoy work. Working has become the "happy" part of my life now, which I suppose can be a good thing seeing I spend about 55hrs a week there. I don't enjoy the things I use to...talking to people, playing my guitar, going online, playing sports, being with people. It's really weird! Even being at church is really hard for me too, which is NOT cool in the least. I'm finding my ambitions are changing too...I'm considering a Bachalor's Degree in Business Administration now...and being apart of a corporation for years of my life. It's amazing to see how things can change so quickly. There's so much grace at work...and when I come home everything seems to just fall apart. So yah, what a happy update, right? Cheers! | | |
