woahzers.

I can't even comprehend what just happened today. First day of work was awesome and I am just so excited for the rest of the week. Seeing an old friend was amazing. Jesus was present and it was just lovely. We discussed the different roles that God carries for us and it was spectacular. Father, Savior, King, Gardener, Poet, Lover, Friend, Caretaker, Doctor.. etc. It just amazes me. I have this voice that only comes from the Lord and He has taken me to such great heights.
I owe Him my life.

Jesus, take my life and make it Yours.

I love meeting people. I love reuniting with people. I love seeing how the Lord uses those relationships to further His Kingdom. I was talking with a very good friend of mine on the phone about surrendering EVERYTHING to the Lord. Yesterday, I met up with another one of my life long friends and I remember telling him, "Risking everything for the Lord is pretty crazy but if you realize how worth it is.. HOW CAN YOU EVER GO BACK??!" And, then it hit me. I didn't say that, the Holy Spirit was definitely working in me yesterday and it was so cool to realize that all I need is the Lord. I am SO excited for all the plans He has in store for me. I am fullfilled with His grace. Too cool. I am deeply encouraged by all my brothers and sisters and how delightful and loving they are to me.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not us.

2 Corinthians 4:7
Just gonna lay it all out there. In everything that I do, say or act is for God. He has given me this voice to speak of His love and His strength. Even in an interview, He uses me to speak of Him and what He has done for me. I have been praying for the Holy spirit to dwell in my heart because I did feel distant and empty for sometime. But, He answers prayers and it is truly incredible to believe and witness Him working. To you, I praise Your name to the highest. Even though life throws curveballs, deutors, craziness and chaos at us, God is in control and just knowing that one day I'll be with Him is the most reassuring promise ever. I can't wait for Heaven and knowing that I will be with the Holy and Soverign God is just about the best. Like I said in my other post, His love is so deep and unconditional.. it's unlike anything anyone could ever give me. How can I ever stray away or love somebody else more than I love Him?

the little things.

Why am i still awake?
Just thinking about the Lord and the little things he creates that just make me smile.

Have you ever just stopped and thought about why there are just so many different kinds laughters out there? It's just so cool. God didn't have to create that but He did. He is so detailed and I am in awe everyday.

What if we only had one kind of laugh and it produced one kind of noise?
That would be so dull wouldn't it?
But the Lord. Oh the Lord is more creative than that.

Learning to appreciate the little things in life just like this.
The Lord is just so much bigger than we think and He is the movie, while we just play apart of 2 seconds in His movie.

Credits about the whole laughter idea goes to the first chapter of Francis Chan's book called Crazy Love.
Highly recommended.
Goodnight loves.

I'm trying to add more pictures to this thing to make it more vibrant.
But this is me and my sister laughing. (well kinda) God gave us crazy laughs!

first love.

A few days ago, I realized.. well it was more of God helping me realize that His love is enough. To be honest, I have been fighting with Him over that because I was getting frustrated and impatient. But, the moment that I felt His overbearing love exalting me, I knew it was tangible and felt a sense of peace because He is really all I need. There is no other person on this Earth that can give me the love that Jesus gives. (especially when I don't deserve any of it). He brought me back to the moment when He saved me and that's when I knew it was real. I felt complete. I mean, I feel am complete. And, I am ready to move on and wait patiently upon the Lord.

I have nothing good.
Yet, you accepted me in love.
And, put your precious crown on me.
I owe you everything.
I lift my hands up to you, oh Lord.
Take my life and make it yours.
For, I have no good thing.

why isn't it saturday yet?!

I cannot wait for Saturday. My good friends Nathan and Kristiane are going to become one and I am so excited to witness it. Also, I can't wait to dance the night away with my friends. Super stoked.
And, I can't wait for the start of the new week because I know I get to see you sometime then. :)
