I cannot understand HIS love. Its beyond my comprehension. How HE truly keeps HIS words when HE shares that weeping will last a night but Joy will come in the morning. How HE has the power to turn my nothing into something. HE is so beyond me. HIS faithfulness is even more breathtaking.
When we look at HIS works in this world and in our lives specifically, we often question HIS plans, at least I do. I often don’t believe they make sense. For example, how things like being stripped from all that is familiar and feeling forgotten, how can that possibly be right? But yet again HE reminds me that HE has me. HE again leads me to Jeremiah 29:11 and shows me that HE does have a plan for me and that plan encompasses every day, every hour and every minute of my life. Nothing is hidden or happens without HIS command.
HE prunes that which is dead within us and that isn’t thriving so that HE may bear fruit within us. I have never seen that as clear as I do now in this season. I am so amazed by all that HE is. HE is ALL I need. In fact HE is seriously ALL I want.
This season began as ashes but once again I see HIM forming those ashes into something new and beautiful. What a GOD we serve.
HE leaves me AMAZED.
Hanging by a thread. God move.

I’m learning about simplicity. In all areas of my life I feel HIS spirit tugging me to be freed from this worlds desires and to take on with all seriousness HIS desires. Its a challenge but one that I know will be worth it when I am face to face with HIM. I want HIM, not this world.
Im contemplating whether or not this will get reblogged as much but yeah, if you’re a Christian blog reblog this and ill follow you. Need a more Christ centered newsfeed
^ you heard her, reblog this. :)
Reblog! :)
If I’m driving with you and warned you about a pot hole that was coming up on the street, I’m not trying to say anything about the way you drive nor that you can’t. I’m just simply trying to let you know what I just learned earlier that day when I myself drove into that same pothole.
So many people get quickly defensive when I speak. When I just love sharing what He teaches me, especially when I’ve just “drove down the same street”
My prayer is to be teachable. That when people tell me about that “pothole” I wouldn’t become defensive but thankful. That I also may learn to hear HIS voice and be silent when necessary.HE might just want someone to drive through that pothole….
Determination. Yet again I feel a new me evolving. Maybe evolving is not the best word to describe what I am feeling. It’s something totally NEW. A New creation. HE is doing something, something beautiful within. Sanctification is a beautiful thing. {Deep breath, smile} Rest.
I’ve been learning a lot during this wedding season. I’m so grateful for it actually because it has been such a benefit in my growth process. I’m learning the art of Psalm 141:3. It’s a Tough one and still haven’t mastered it but I’m on the way!
I’ve also realized the importance of shaking off the little things. Wedding planning truly brings out the bridezilla in us allowing us to claim things as our own and just become self centered with things. (I speak of brides and bridesmaid in general) it clicked for me yesterday tho….just shake it off….
So what if so and so has the same this or that….is it worth tears, fights, and division? No! Each story will be shown thru different illustrations, some might have the same texture or hues but in the end the picture is different and so is the story! God spoke to me telling me, this is not wut the special day is to be about! It’s about creating a covenant with HIM, allowing HIM to start a new chapter in our stories! Not only are we to honor Him on that day but in the process of creating that day!
The other day I was chatting with some girls explaining how a good amount of my wedding is planned and how I’m praying no1 takes all the ideas, songs, styles I have brewing….
Then it just all hit me yesterday….Who cares!? Lol I mean I will have the man of my dreams who was made for me….yes the design element of that day will be of importance but I pray it won’t be the center of it. I desire all that to fade and what to matter on that day and during the process is the covenant being made before HIM. Everything else will fade away after that day BUT not the covenant that was made.
I wanna claim nothing MINE on this earth….I wanna be selfless with EVERYTHING.
This is no doubt a complex route in the journey to venture thru but I have no doubt that with HIM I’ll reach the other side as a victor!
“I am removing the fog in front of u. Soon there will be clarity and I will reveal things to you. Press on and know that I’m your God. I know what I’m doing. Though you don’t understand right now, you will later.”
Word spoken over me a month ago…I feel as tho my journey has hit new roads. Roads that are unfamiliar to me yet beautiful. The fog is slowly leaving and allow clarity in areas of my life to be seen. There is still fog in the distance but each step I take I gain more confidence and peace. I will be able to hear more clearly HIS voice saying to me “This is the way, walk in it.” It excites me and leaves me shaking at the same time. But I know I’m where HE desires and there’s no place I’d rather be.
I’ve learned there are seasons for everything and that the way to get to the next is by gaining what HE desires of your current season, wether it may be hard or easy MAXIMIZE IT! Enjoy it and gain everything you can from it. There’s positives in every season, you just have to allow HIM to uncover your eyes to see it.
It’s been a while! Summer is here and I can finally get back to writing!
This summer will be one to remember! So many new beginnings! Not only in my life but also those around me! It’s beyond exciting!
But I wanna begin this summer on the right foot…..HE has to be my number one priority. In HIS word HE tells me that it is in HIM that I will maintain and gain the fullness of joy! So no good summer is complete without HIM!
I have such a craving to become ever so close to HIM this summer! To use my free time wisely…in prayer and worship! To allow the Spirit to do as HE pleases within me and thru me! I feel as tho I’m getting out of this dry season and entering a pruning season!
HE is for sure getting rid of the dead areas in my life and allowing all the new to grow in! Exciting BUT it is a season that requires much work! Prayer needs to become like breathing to me this summer!
Ahhhh!!!! Let the fun begin!!!!!
