1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Well updating has become very well it just hasnt happened in a very long time! haha
SO this summer was a huge test from God, I sometimes relay on others to grow in my faith but I have to grow in my faith through God and relay on him alone! He also taught me that if I dont have a good and solid relationship with God then how can I have one with someone else! It was a very nice lesson, my summer wasnt the most edifying for my soul so to walk away with this made me realize that I do have a somewhat solid relationship with God which me the all the more excited! I couldnt wait to get back up to school, God gave me this new passion for investing in others lives, which I am totally excited for!
This past couple of weeks I have been asking God to teach me what it means for my soul to be still and show me what that looks like and to wait patiently upon the Lord. It will be interesting to see what he has planned for me!

Pressure!!

Being a 20 year old women, half way through college, hasn't touched a relationship for a good 7 years...I am under a lot of pressure to be in a relationship, get married, and have kids one day. But seeing as how both my siblings are in serious relationships, this means to the rest of the world that i should be in one as well. According to my grandparents, mother, father, even my doctor, what is that? This just makes me even more anxious and want to be in one, well really actually makes me want to get married but, i know that God has a plan for me!

As a wise women once told me, if God pulled you aside from the rest of the world, and said, this is who you are going to marry, this is what he looks like, and you will meet him on this day at this time. Now are you worried about being in a relationship? Of course not you know who, where, when, and how.

BUT what we forget is that this is Gods plan all along and he knows but we don't know. I love surprises and of it wasn't a surprise it might ruin it for me, so I know that God will give me a good man when I am ready to be in a relationship. It is hard when all your friends enter into one, or they are all getting married and you are going to 7 weddings in a summer, but stand strong, God has a plan....remember that!!

Questions...??

Some of the simple questions are the most important questions...

Does God Exist?


The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today. We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him. Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God revealing himself to us.

What is the meaning of living?


The reason we live is to glorify God in every thing we do, say, and live. It is all for God and his glory. We need to be weak so that his strength will shine through!

Why is there so much evil in the world?


Matthew 4: 8-9 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." The devil controls the earthly things...and God controls the heavens. Remember things here on earth fade away and what we do for God will last forever! :)

We need to remember how much God loves us and how much he gave for us.


This Sunday is Easter...the day that Jesus rose from the dead and walked out of the tomb with holes in his hands and feet. This Friday is the the day that he was persecuted! Remember the LOVE that God has given us! He loves you so much and he was willing to suffer the greatest pain in order to save you from your sins and have be cleansed...to have that personal relationship with him!

"And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground" Luke 22:44.

It is the middle of the week already and what a day it has been! So last night i went to bed think oh man i did so much homework this weekend...then to remember that oh snap ive got to write a paper and study for a test tomorrow in CJ....uhhh so therefore I got up earlier than anyone should be up and wrote that paper and still have yet to study but it will come, you just wait. I really dont want to study but I know that the more I do the better grade that I will get...isnt that just kind of like the bible, you should really study it like there is no tomorrow for when people ask you questions you know the answers and can reference back and you get a "good grade" so to speak in life. It is all connected. Let me ask you a question, how often do we study a study guide if it is giving to us for the hardest test...alot right, lets be honest here! haha So if the bible is like the study guide of life how come we are not studying the crap out it?? And you are...you just keep truckin along friend! Life is full of things, people, and awesome memories...make everyone a good one! You have one life to live...do something about it! :) <3>

Hey ya'll!
So yesterday I participated in a thing called, "the broken bread meal." It was tough i tell you what! So Its where you eat the food that the kids and people in Africa eat. It did not taste very good but thats okay. So many kids are suffering because they do not have enough money to buy even a meal a day. One girl in her story said that she would give up her meals for her siblings and she would work all day with no place to lay her head at night. This just breaks my heart...but once again what am I doing about it? Nothing. After that I went out to dinner with my friends for a birthday party...then i thought oh good I am a part of this statistic that while 13,000 kids will die today while we will spend 1 billion dollars on food. WOW! How many times have I complained about the food here at school and how bad it is how much food I waste! I hope that you allow God to work in you and break you. I am broken now...now what do I do??

So lately I have been thinking about serving over seas...it is a big step in my faith, in trusting, and kinda in my packet! haha

I was thinking pretty deeply about it and then this traveling team came and spoke about missions over seas. Like wow thanks God for kind of confirming to me. I have so many choices as well. He really broke my heart for the unreached people of the world. I really would like to talk with people about God and be that first person that they come in contact with, with Christian. Once again God has broken my heart. Let me ask you a question...

what wreaks you...and what are you doing about it??


Think about this and maybe talk to me about it sometime!

Life is hard, we go through it complaining, like Nehemia, he complained for a good four months straight and then he was like uhh what am I doing...I should be praising God for what he has given me and he was like all whooo again. It was the point that he was feeling wreaked and he was doing nothing about it.

What are you going to do about the things that wreak you??

Everything else as worthless

Oh what a day it was today! So I got a chance to talk with a friend who I dont get to see very often, well I mean I get to see her about every day but we have not got the chance to sit down and talk for a while. I am very excited that I got that chance to do so today.

God had provided us with an amazing night of chit chat. We ended up having coffee and talking about what God is teaching us and how we are using our talents to glorify God. I know that I personally struggle with pride and glorifying self and not for God. So it is really good to be reminded that God has given me these talents to bring praise to his name. I really enjoy playing bass guitar, dancing, and playing hockey...I look at them all in a new light now...knowing that my life would be wasted if I didnt glorify God in everything and every moment.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ [Philippians 3:8]!!

What if we really did live this way...counted everything as worthless because we know Jesus, how often do I put other things that are worthless in front of God. More than I would like...once is even too much!

The love that God has on us is amazing and all he wants to do is love you, do you want to assume that responsibility and accept that relationship and glorify him?? I know I do! He gives and all he asks is, will be have a relationship with us! Thats pretty legit my friends!! :)

The previous posts were made by my lovely roomie...well today we are doing the prayer booth again today...not too many people though. This week was pretty rough for me actually. I really felt like I was constantly feeling like the world was being pushed down on me. It was really upsetting. There was one day were I was really upset and I broke down in tears almost all day. I felt as if God was pushing these trials on me and I was well I finally gave in and gave it up to God. It was hard, really hard, but to be able to talk to someone who listens while im going through a tough time was nice. To know that someone was on my side was nice too. Life is hard, not everyone thinks like you, think before you speak, make wise choices, and listen to what God has to say...this is what he taught me this week through my sufferings. I am really thankful for my friends as well, who helped me through it, through reminding me that God loves me and I should boast in my sufferings. I am on the road upward and really excited to see what God has planned for tonight through this joint worship night with Cru and IV. God loves you and wants to listen to what you have to say! <3>
Jesus :) Surprise!!!
named....
i love a certain someone :)

encouragement

Romans 5: 3-5 "But we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

But those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:30-31

Monday, March 15, 2010

Oh man I am starting out with a rough week already, my patience and love for others is being tried already and its more on the fact that I am getting frusterated that I am letting things get to me rather than just giving it to God. Sometimes when I talk to my small group, I feel like no one is receptive and it just makes me feel discouraged to that fact. I am happy though that I am thinking about God every moment of my day and I do fee like I am glorifying him in everything that I do. For some reason I just feel like nothing I say is being taken in a serious matter and makes me really frusterated. But I should not be discouraged by this I should feel the need to do better and do something more for others to show what I am saying.

I guess walk the walk and not just talk the talk. I should be an example of what I say. I would like for others to follow in my foot steps as well. Gods love for me just amazes me to end and his love should be enough for me, but sometimes I feel like i need more. I should be completely satisfied with his loves. Why do i search as if he is not enough...

God has this amazing divine romance that I have never experienced before, he is grace is full and his beauty is rich. Only for him I sing and dance, I will show my love. This is a deep love, everything is for you God, I lift my heart to you and give it all to you and all for you. I rejoice in this romance. I want to feel this every moment of my day, even in the sad times even when I want to give up. I want this to be evident in my life!! :) God loves me more than I can even imagine and I forget that sometimes....

Saturday, March 13, 2010

Did you know that God loves you MORE than you can even imagine...and did you know that his thoughts about you outnumber the GRAINS OF SAND!! He knows your future...so why do you worry! :)

Last night after Cru, we did thing called Late Night Outreach. It was so amazing!!! There were a good 30 of us last night who went out into Marquette and spread the love of God and told them about it. WOW I was totally expecting people to just be like uhhh yeah no thanks I dont want to hear about that. BUT they really do! They want to find a place to belong where this void isnt in their hearts anymore. Also yesterday we starting thing on campus called the Prayer Booth, were we just sat there and people wrote down prayers that they had and at Cru we prayed for them! It was so amazing. When we were done with it though, we did look through them and well God broke me once again...hardcore! I started to cry actually to see and know that people on the campus that I live on are hurting so bad. It really made me realize that God loves us and has called us to spread his love and the good news that we have that needs to be shared. It was a very encouraging day yesterday to know that I was persecuted for Christ, encouraged by Christ, and I am loved by Him! :)

What Marvels God?

There is a question that I had asked my bible study that I heard from this amazing speaker, I asked them, what marvels you?? They answered with awesome things like nature, kindness, love, being outside, sunsets, ect...and then I threw out the question...what marvels God?? The room was silent. When I had heard this question, i was thinking well nothing of course, God made everything...so what is he marveled by! He proved me wrong, of course. It states in Matthew 8, that this Roman solider comes up to Jesus and asked him to heal his servant. First of all...Romans were pagans and didn't believe in Jesus...second of all Jesus was become very discourged earlier that no one is Isreal had faith and believed that he was the Messiah and wanted to listen to his Good News. This man ran up to Jesus and Jesus said, "I have no seen faith like this in all of Isreal." Wow thats so awesome. Then Jesus goes on to say that because of your faith your servant is healed, go home and be with him. What marvels God is when we have faith in Him! :) Thats so aweosme to hear. This totally rocked my world and I hope is shook your world today as well. Have faith in God and trust im Him, because it marvels Him! <3>

I have not posted anything in over a week or so. Spring break was pretty good I believe...I cleaned, spent time with my family, my little brother and I went out to lunch, and got to spend some time with God. I feel like when I go home i forget that I have to read...and forget that I need to pray. It was a struggle not going to lie. It was about thursday when I said oh yeah I should probably read this and journal my thoughts on it. I did and that day was awesome. I forget how amazing God makes me feel, this passion that I have never experienced before, its the most awesome joy you could ever have. I love it, but so many times I am putting other things before God. When I went home and went to church...I got to hear my pastor speak...and he spoke about having other idols. My instant thought was...oh I dont have any idols...I dont put things before God. HA FALSE! I put a lot of things before God. Facebook, blogging, friends, homework, cleaning, working out, hockey, texting, work, sleep. There are so much things that I would "rather" do than read my bible. Then I have to remember that God is my world and that is the reason why I am here...to glorify my creator. He is the most amazing thing that I have and all I want to do is worship him...but there are times where I just do other things instead...its makes me frusterated in the most, but I am the ony one that can change that! :) God loves me and just wants to be with Him at all times...in my heart, mind, and soul.

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Today was the best day ever!! :D I got to share the Love of God with someone over facebook, shared the gospel with him. God gave me all these bible verses and he asked questions that I used to ask myself so it was so awesome that I could answer them...well that God have me the answers for them. haha God is just awesome! I really want him to use me in huge ways this year, where ever I may end up in the summer, I know that I will be doing God's will and it will be amazing! I really hope that I will let God continue to work in my life, I believe that he always is. Growing me and seeking a deeper relationship with me! :) If you have never shared the Love of God with anyone, pray about it, ask God to give you strength and maybe there will be an opening for you to talk with someone, which would be awesomely sweeet!!! :) I love God's peace, it is so amazing! <3

Wow man this weekend God has stretched me like no other. Emily Aho gave this amazing talk and im pretty sure i cried through the whole thing and it was a really hard day for me. I was so sick of being told what to do and what to do with my life. I applied to Lake Ellen and I was going to raise support for the summer. But then my mom emails me and tells me of this great oppurtunity for the summer, an internship that I an for sure get. As a police cadet for the county. This makes me feel at peace but my other choice i felt like I was at peace with, but my parents were not on board. So I guess that was a way of God saying no this is not for you. I feel like I am being pulled in so many different directions and I dont know how to do this. I am finding myself saying God, I trust you all the way, but then I think how much am I really trusting him? I need to be full out...and I just feel like I am not. God needs to be the center of all my thoughts. I this I would get to be a light for my family, go to church with my family, and show the Love of God to them! I believe that this is where God wants me. This honestly scares the crap out of me...and I could not tell you why. I do not understand why I cant seem to give everything to God. Why is that so hard, if I call myself a Christian then I should set an example and trust the Lord...but why is this not happening. So this is my challenge this week to trust God and trust that I am doing his will...more or less seek his will! :)

whoooo God!!!

This week was really stressful for me and I was really upset and seemed to want to cry alot. I was working yesterday and a friend stopped by and said why are you upset? The person that created you, me, the snow outside, everything just wants to love you. WOW! right!! God just wants to love me and sometimes I dont want to even talk to the person who loves me. In bible study I talked about prayer and this really got me thinking if I am telling my girls to pray and communicate with God. Why am I not doing that, why do I complain and worry when God says, "dont worry about anything instead pray about anything." What! Why am I so worried and upset. As soon as I talked with God, my attitude seemed to grow more and more positive. Also I found out that there was this writing contest for this English department and I am choosing to write on a hero in the injustice world, I am going to write about my friends family who is helping with the sex slave trade and how God is really helping them. So I get to talk about God in a paper for a public University!! :D God opens awesome doors!!! YAY GOD!! Tell me how often do we worry and go straight to God? It is hard, but it should be the first thing. SO i am going to make it my first thing!! :) Love you alllll! whooo God!!!

Friday, February 12, 2010

So my talk last night went so WELL!! I was a little nervous but not really at all...it was so great just how God gave me peace about it! I just spoke what he gave me and i think it really hit people hard and is really going to challenge them and is already challenging them in their everyday walk with God. CHALLENGE: Ask God to make you weak and see just how powerful He is and just how amazing he can work if you allow him to. I really hope that this does happen. Then to give it a good kicker i showed a video,

http://vodpod.com/watch/1049649-how-he-loves-john-mark-mcmillan

check it out! It is so awesome and amazing how God worked through this weak man to do a great thing! I am really excited!!!

God is just so awesome!!!!!!!! :D <3 href="http://vodpod.com/watch/1049649-how-he-loves-john-mark-mcmillan">

Thursday, February 11, 2010

So tonight I am speaking for the first time at Cru. I am feeling good about it but kind of really nervous! I really feel like God is telling me that someone really needs to hear this, I myself needed to hear it as well, so it was so wonderful being able to look up things are really dig deeper into Gods word! I am talking on Judges 6 and 7, how God uses weak people to do great things! I have had such an amazing week! Like I really cannot believe how much God is just being with me and showing me how much he loves it when I trust him...I love trusting him...but I find it really hard to do alot. But when I said okay God I totally trust you and I want what is your will!! AND he totally took over and my week has been wonderful and I have been learning so much in my classes for my major and really reassured that this is what I am going to do with my life! I love God and how we plan and he just laughs!! hahaha
I love you God! <3

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

God is really testing me this week with trusting him and doing his will. Some times my mind will just take over and totally forget that I should not be focusing so much on other things and really be eyes towards God! This is harder and harder once I find things that I want, such a boys. They walk in when I don't really want them to, when I really should be paying all of my attention on God and school. God created me to glorify Him and to worship Him and He deserves more than I could ever give him. I know that God has something planned big for me and just the point of trusting that he will provide for me and he knows what I am going to do in my life, where I am going to work, how I am going to survive, who I will marry if I do. So why do I worry when the future is in God's hands and so in the present. Worrying is something that God does not want us to do, it says in Philippians: instead of worrying about things pray about things and it will bring you peace. Just typing that makes me feel better! God had got it and has got me, i can trust Him! He loves me!! <3 Thanks God, I love you!!

If He performed miracles because He was God, then they would be unattainable for us. But if He did them as a man, I am responsible to pursue His lifes

Some people and I went out to peoples doors in the dorms and asked if we could take out there trash and some peoples responses were so awesome! Like why are you doing this? Just to serve you and tell you that God loves you! One person even asked if there were any good churches around here, it was so awesome to talk to them about God and just to serve people. Like who really wants to take out your trash anyway...thats like gross right...well Jesus was a servant and washed people feet. If He performed miracles because He was God, then they would be unattainable for us. But if He did them as a man, I am responsible to pursue His lifestyle. So why do no I not serve people as much as I should was really the challenge that I have been presented with over and over again. And to be perfectly honest i have no idea why. Why should i keep Gods love a secrect. Why am i not telling people about this awesome eternal life that they could be having with this awesome man! :) I feel like God gave me this huge heart for serving people but i just dont wanna do it...and i do not understand why. I should be loving to everyone and should care about people who do not know God. Yeah :)

Tomorrow is too LATE!

Today I’m gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
’Cause tomorrow could be one day too late

These are lyrics from the Song, "One Day Too Late" by Skillet.
Now I have never heard this song before it came on my pandora station this morning. I listen to it and it really related to the talk that Zach gave at Cru on Love. He asked us, "do you love enough, i will say it again, do you LOVE enough?" Wow thats an intense question, i thought about it and I said yeah I do love alot. Then we watched this video and this man said, "how much do you have to hate someone to not share what you know about eternal life?!" Okay then I thought I love enough to people who I am close to. Like family, my friends from Cru, friends from church. I do not love enough for people who do not know God. I must love my enemies, reach out to them and change the world, make it a better place to live. Becuase if I wait until tomorrow it WILL be too late.
It is as if there was a huge truck coming towards a person who does not know God, and there is a person who does know God who is just standing there watching them get barreled over by this truck. Well there has to be some point when we step in and save them from that truck. Why are we not saving people from the "truck of life?"
People say yeah but what will people think of me? What if they dont accept what I have to say? Will they hate me? Yeah, but its hard!
Who cares you are trying, you are out there telling people that God loves them! YOU are planting a seed of life. That seed is planted and maybe it will grow with time and someone else who is willing and not timid comes across them that seed could grow HUGE and you could have been that one who planted that seed.
Become on fire for God and pour into peoples lives and just love on them!!!!
LOVE ON PEOPLE, THEY NEED IT! <3 class="MsoBodyText">

God IS indeed working!

[the question that i would like to ask, why is it that God allows bad things to happen to people,I know that he is a god of love and came to save the world and died for me...]
I got this question today when I was handing out cards fir everystudent.com and this girl asked me this question when i was at lunch and I honestly froze and said well uhh well and then i remembered its not me speaking...I asked God to give me the words to speak and just speak to this girl. I told her what i thought that God puts us through trials and he wants to see if we will trust him throught this hard time in out life...I asked her if she owned a bible and she said yes. Then i told her to read Job, you will see that God puts him through everything and still he goes to God. In the end he gets more than he started with. So awesome right. She looked at me and said I will read this. It was so encouraging today! God gave me these words to speak and he worked today! <3 Thanks God!!

Love Wins

This weekend was one of the most laziest, uneventful, alone weekends ever...BUT at the same time it was the most amazing, God filled, time well spent weekends. I spent my time in Gods word on Saturday morning, listened to worship music, played some guitar and sang some songs, wrote a talk and prepared a couple of my bible studies! It was most wonderful. I went to church that night as well and it as such an amazing service, wreaked me, and rocked my world. Church on Sunday was wonderful as well, that wreaked me as well. God broke me down again and filled me back up even higher. It was the most amazing this ever, even if it sounds like it is not. To be silent before God and to have him speak to you is awesome and most wonderful! :) I am so pumped for tonight, my bible study is full of these women who love God so much and just look towards him for everything they encourage me so much! :) I encourage you to let God just break you so that he can build you back up stronger! <3

What does that make me?

So today i heard a song when i was getting for church...there was a part in the song where it says, "You make everything glorious, and i am yours, what does that make me?" Then i thought to myself, if God makes everything Glorious and I am his then what does that make me...it was a really good question for me to ponder all morning. I still have yet to come to a conclusion about something but isnt it cool how God just shows me this part of one of the many songs that i listened to this morning. I have heard this sing many times before but this is the first time i have actually thought about what the song said! :) It was most wonderful! <3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}">

Wonderful!

Oh today was so wonderful, got to spend the whole morning with God! I got to read my bible, listen to some music, and even painted while i talked to God! I have been thinking about Haiti alot lately, and how I can help. I have looked into a missions trip as support staff to doctors, but we will see where God has me next year. I really felt like God broke and i just thought to myself what can i do to help. My instant thought was to go over there and help, but its too dangerous and that would not be good for my safety. So then i thought i can pray and thats just as good if I pray for them, they need that alot too. So ive been in prayer for them. My eyes got opened up to the world and just what was in it. I felt so spoiled and almost well totally selfish. I get to eat 3 square meals a day, complain when the food isnt goo. I get to take a hot shower every morning. God has blessed me and my life with my parents, siblings, and wonderful encouring friends! :)
I watched a video today about how this man prayed a prayer, take my life if it will shake the youths nations. That very night he died in a car accident, and then the next day the song, How He Loves, was written and shook the youths nation. As a matter of fact I heard this song at camp for my first time and I fell deeper in love and in a deeper relationship with God. Just to hear that chorus over and over again...Oh how he loves us! And how he is jealous for me...what thats so amazing how much he loves us. And i realizes just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me, so amazing, i really encourage you to sit down and really listen to what this song is saying. It wreaked me and broke me into pieces and i started to cry. Wow God really does answer prayer...this is proof! He is our prize and we should be striving towards that prize!! God has broke me down and is really building me back up this week, he broke me to nothing where i really needed to trust in him! It was awesome to see God work in my life! I encourage you to pray the prayer, God break my heart for what breaks yours, and see what God does in your life. I was so scared to pray this but when i did 2 weeks later he totally wreaked me and broke me hardcore, and you know what it was the most amazing feeling, like actually feeling God break me and sya hey not its time to trust me and relay on me! Amazing, God loves you! :)

View on todays world

I now have a new job working as a deskie in my lobby and here's the deal, its harder than i thought that it would be, the work isn't hard but the things that i hear and the state of mind people are in as the walk by. The late night shift is the worst...I felt that maybe i could be a witness to these people. My boss asked me the other day where i was going and i told her Cru, and she asked me what it was and what we did. I got to tell her that I was a Christian and we worshiped God, had fellowship, and had someone talk to us. It was good she asked me a bunch of questions after that! I felt pretty good and then i was encouraged by that and my spirits picked up and remembered that God has his timing and no matter what I am doing I am being a witness to others because ive got Jesus baby! :) It was a real encouragement. I hope that other people ask me as well, I feel like i am ready ad willing to share the love of God with others. These past few days i really feel like God has blessed me and i just realized this. I am blessed and I hope that i can influence others. God finally showed me what it meant when i ask Him to break my heart for what breaks his. Its breaks me to listen to these people talk, the stories i hear, and how they stumble in late at night after a night of partying, it wreaks me. Everyone should feel the love that God has, it is the BEST ever! <3>

Stresses of Life

I have come to realize that i get more stresses out than is needed! I had my first ever panic attack and had another one and it was the scariest thing of my life, i thought for a moment that i was going to die, it was so scary. I just went to God in prayer the first time and just asked him to take it away. We believe that back in bible times that God did all of these miracles for all these people and we think why is He not doing them now, but He IS! Which makes it ten time cooler. He took away my pain and relaxed me the rest of the night when i was at work. Then I had another one, i feel like I need to trust God in whatever he has for me. I get so worried about money for next year, my credit status, outreach, leadership, Cru, math class, homework, summer jobs, and just other things and I need, we all need to remember that God is there through everything that we go through. I realized this today. God said that he will never leave us or forsake us. He is so awesome and loves me so much and I cant believe how His love can be so unconditional like that! I have such a hard time loving people that i do not like, it just makes me love God more knowing how hard I have to try to love these people. Trusting God is harder than it sounds and giving up control and letting him have everything. One time i heard an example, that i have told my bible study, is that lets say you have a car, the car is your life and the driver seat is full control of your life, God should be driving your car instead for some people is running on the outside of the car, in the trunk, in the backseat, or for me in the passenger seat, i do not want to give up full control but i give Him some of my life. I dont understand why i just dont give everything to him, he wants to take alll of my crap and i wont give it to Him, why do i want to hang onto all of my junk? This is a question that i struggle with on a day to day basis! Well thats all for now! Over and Out! <3

Gods Love

God's love is so amazing and he has shown me this. I was talking with a friend the other day about how God is God centered and how we as humans are so self-centered and how we should be God centered! :) This wreaked me i feel and to know that God will never leave me and he is in awe of my weak glance. This is so amazing! He is the Lord of peace!
