I will always love You.

It blows my mind the way God will speak something to me, and then He'll confirm it in the most amazing ways.

I've been so desperate lately, desperate for the presence of God. It's funny things I've said in the quiet of my prayer closet, just got prayed over me the other day. It's exciting that a revelation God gave me just spilled out in the preaching of someone else's sermon, and not just that it all aligned with the word God gave me about this season of my life. It's beautiful that this joy I have is unshakable, unbreakable, and unfathomably genuine. I love where I am at this point in my life, I would have it no different.

All the things you want to know
All the things you want to see
He is everything
He is everything


He is doing so much in me. I am so refreshed in the hope of my calling, the hope of Christ in me, in the understanding that this hope will not disappoint. I guess you can say, He showed me life through HOPE....and it's never ceased to be such a huge factor in my life, and in defining who I am. Seeing this hope transform into something tangible, is all the more breath taking. So many things I've held close, prayed, prayed, and prayed about.....are finally coming into view. My hands are not empty, my heart is not lacking, my mind is not confused, my spirit is not weighed down, this is what they meant "the rich and satisfying life/life and life more abundantly". And I feel more free than I knew was possible. It's crazy that just when you think you've come to a point you could be satisfied with...God reminds you He's got an unending amount of blessings He wants to pour into your life. And I'm so inspired to truly do all that I can with my life. There's so many things I can do....and I will not be the one to say I wasted my time or doubted I could achieve something! With God nothing will be impossible! I LOVE LIFE WITH GOD, HOW COULD YOU NOT?!

not a close second You're right on.

Wide awake to the goodness of God.

Ah, my life is changing so much. And I love every second of it. Sometimes the unexpected is exactly what you need to pull you up to the place you need to be. And that's beautiful. So beautiful, the perfect display of art to hang on every wall.
I've been praying so much, and well just talking to God, talking, talking, TALKING. I find myself walking around and just talking..... it starts this simple prayer, and then an explosion of conversation if that's even the way to put it. I've turned the page to a side of God I've never read or seen before. The pictures are more lively and exciting than I'd ever of expected. My whole focus is being shifted, in a way that's too exciting to reveal to the world just yet. And so much vision, so much passion, so much joy for everything. I LOVE MY LIFE! & more than ever, MORE THAN BEFORE I am so stoked to fulfill God's will, to pour my life out as an offering to God, the church, my disciples, the world around me. I want to be all that God has created me to be, and every breath inside of me I want to use it for God.

I was talking to this guy today that I randomly met a few months back. And really honestly I've never thought much of anything.....even to share the love of Christ to him... but then tonight something welled up in my heart. It started simple enough. Hellos and how are you's. And then after a bit I was compelled to ask him if I could ask him to answer some questions honestly about what he perceived his relationship with God to be, and involvement with church, etc. Breaking down the barrier of the cliche you should come to church here's my shiny everything's going to be okay invitation. And then I told him how I honestly believed God wanted to show Himself to him in a tangible way that would change the way he answered those questions. I don't know why I'm even saying this....but it just got me thinking about stuff even more. I've been thinking so much lately. And I said something about him just believing God would reveal something deeper than the strand of hope he grasped (he kept telling me of the hope....the hope he held onto), and something simple he said along the lines of...."God brought you to ask me these things.........I know it's all going to work out".

In this season of my life where God is doing so much in me, I really want to use my life to reach the lost. I started off wanting to say something completely different.....! But this is good for now :]

NEVER NEVER NEVER

Don't ever take for granted hearing from the Holy Spirit. Never desire the voice or wisdom of man over the beautiful and perfect words of Him who knows you best.

"...that your faith should not be in the wIsDoM of men but in the POWER OF GOD."
-1 Corinthians 2:5

Cling to God in confusion, hold fast to His word in doubt or discouragement, never let go when you feel like your screwing up, and when it makes no sense ask Him to teach you what true trust is. Work yourself out in the presence of God; because He has no insecurities, burdens, bondages....a crystal clear past, present, and future and strength to hold you when _________. He is what you need Him to be, and what you don't know you need. He's all the good that you've heard on Sundays at church, He's all the words you read in that Bible of yours, but there's so much more. And with a still small voice, He'll begin to reveal just what you need, just when you need, and you'll be complete.
