I am the little girl in this picture and God is the elephant.
I will never let go of Him and He reassured me tonight that He will never let go of me.
I am coming back to the heart of worship.
I am content with where I am right now. Phil 4:11.
I will wait for You, Lord.

even when i'm unfaithful.

God is faithful. He is graceful and He is picking me up from this self-imaging, self-destructing world. He is love and I can't fathom His presence right now. It is an overwhelming spirit of truth and hope. When you're getting closer to God, Satan knows how to reel you back out and put you back in this world. I finally realized today that God is STRONGER and I cannnot ever be apart from Christ. Falling is pushing me back and causing more distress when there's really none. And, trying to rely on yourself to get work done is impossible. But, with God anything is possible.
It's all about you Jesus.
I'm sorry for the thing I've made it.

love, love flows heavy.

I'm just going to throw it out there. This past week could be described in one compound word: roller coaster. The Lord has really broken me down, slapped me in the face and sat me down alone to face Him. I learned that my emotions can take over my life. And, I should have known this through prior experiences but I guess I still have alot to learn. The Lord has been diligent and patient with me. He is an awesome God and it breaks me knowing that people don't understand His grace and love. I'm thankful and blessed that there is a God who knows how to teach me and build me up. I am learning how to be still and obedient to God.
Being
still
is
probably
the
greatest
gift
that the Lord
can
give.
He is so personal and He knows me better than anyone and I owe it to Him to surrender my life to live for Him and the will he has for me.
After an overwhelming week, I finally feel renewed by the grace of Jesus Christ.
"His love is so tangible, so thick."
This statement is very true.
I am finally at peace.
All glory to you my God.

Good Friday.

I recently lost my bible and my journal somewhere. I'm sure it'll turn up. Anyway, I'm going to write in here today. As all of you should know, today is good Friday. It is amazing to know that Jesus is Lord. It is humbling to know that He died and bled for us to have new life. Three days later, He resurrects. Wow. Jesus is alive!
We should be in celebration every day. every minute. every second for this historic event. It's not about bunnies and candy. I'm consumed with joy knowing that Jesus loves me. Everything that I do, everyone I meet is all because of Him. I am overwhelmed everyday by how powerful He is. He has called me to share the gospel with the closest people in my life: my family. To be honest, I am still learning but the Lord has poured so much into my heart. He is changing me everyday and I am so thankful for that. I've lost and gained people in my life through finding Christ. But, I know that God is in control of every situation, every relationship and everything else. I just wanted to let you know that Jesus loves you more than you could ever know. His love is unconditional, unfailing and He is ALWAYS with you. Know that. Every struggle that you're going through, every trial and tribulation, every heart break.. just remember what Jesus sacrificed for you. His whole life. Therefore, we have already won the fight.

The Lord is working.
Oh He's working.
It is so evident in my life as well as the other people I've encountered this week.
All praise and glory to Him.
I am so overwhelmed with joy and love.

High mountains.

in an open space of darkness, there is a small light shining through.
there is hope. there is freedom in You and only You.
Set my wings free
and help me fly.
Your presence is guiding me home.
back to you oh, Lord.
I yearn to see Your face.
Fill me up with Your strength.
You are everlasting, holy and mighty.
I praise You to the highest.

i'm running fast and free to You.

God has revealed so much to me this week. I'm so filled with Him and His call for my life. I went home this weekend and it was the greatest. I got the opportunity to share what the Lord has done in my life to a few of my friends. Couldn't be more thankful for that! It was incredible to see one of my friends at borders reading his bible while I was reading mine! It might seem pretty small but it did mean alot to me to see him strong in his faith like that! The Lord is working in the city of Arlington and I have great hope for the future of that city to be more molded like Christ. I come back here to my city burning with this passion for Christ. Wanting Him whole-heartedly and praying for change. Praying for changing of hearts. Praying for God to open our eyes to what we are blinded by.
I am so encouraged by all the people in my life and what I see the Lord doing in their lives. Life is so good and I am so thankful to getting to know the God more and more each and everyday.
