I just wanted to say...
To my dear friends, I just wanted to tell you that the things that I am writing on here I am really writing them for my own life. I haeen struggling in placing all of my hope and trust in Christ.
But if any of these post are touching your heart... Then I am so thankful that the Lord is using me to put my thoughts in writing so that others can see that Jesus is really the only one that you will ever find complete peace from.
In the last 2 months I have come to realize something that I never fully understood before, and that is that Jesus is more then just "God's Son" Jesus is my daddy, my hero, the one that I love with my whole heart. He is like my lover. I can rest in him knowing that he will never turn on me, he will never betray me. He is faithful and most of all, he believes in me. I am special to him, and even if I fail... he is always there to take us in his arms and hold us close. He is there for us when we need someone to cry with us. Oh I could go on and on... but through the struggles I have been facing I am falling more and more in love with my Jesus.
Anyways... :) I am about to head out the door to start my trip to PA, I will be back in 3 days. God Bless you my dear friends! I love you all. <3

Listen to God
1 Samuel 3:9-10
~God has is wanting to speak with us.
~God can still speak when it seems all is lost. God hasn't died, He is still just as active as he was when he spoke to the child Samuel. He still cares about every little detail in your life.
~It may seem like your family is falling apart, or your life is falling apart, but God still holds it all in his hands. He is still in total control.
~Sometimes life seems to have just a bunch of scribbles, like it doesn't make sense to us at all about how Gods timing works...all of the pain that is involved... sometimes its easy to want to give up. But God is painting a beautiful picture. Its a painting that will only be perfect when finished. "Be still and know that I am God."
~We have to be sure that we are searching, looking, listening for His speaking... He is not going to push anything on us. We will only hear Him if we want to.
And sometimes just because He may be speaking to us doesn't mean that we will pick up on it. God speaks in many different ways...sometimes its though people that we may not like but God uses them to tell us something.
~God continues to call us even if we don't hear it right away. He will call again and again, softly at times... then maybe louder... until you wish to listen.
~Others may hear his calling before you do. But be careful who you go to for counsel.
~After you hear His voice... listen, "speak Lord, for your servant is listening".
~If something is telling you to run from the voice of God, then you know right there that it is not of God.
~The worlds of God are just what we need to heal our broken hearts... Are you listening to his calling? Do you want to hear his calling? Do you believe that he has a plan and that in the end the scribbles will come together into the most carefully planned out painting of all times?
~Rest ~ Trust ~ Believe ~ Hope ~ Listen ~ and Do~

Faith #2
Hebrews 11
1-Without Faith we are hopeless.
2-We have been commanded to have faith - Mark 11:22
3-Faith is not automatic. You are not just born with it. Its a choice that you make and then its something that you have to fight for.
4-Sometimes Faith is a struggle. "Lord, I believe... help my unbelief"
5-Faith always starts small. Anyone that has ever done anything in faith had to take one step at a time.
6-Faith increases. We grow with each little step of faith... each time getting stronger and stronger in Christ.
7-Your Faith is going to be tested. God wants to know if we truly trust him completely.
8-Your Faith then becomes the foundation for the rest of your life.
If we are going to have Faith in anyone we might as well make it be God right? I mean really, Why would you have your faith in anything else other then the very one that made you. He obviously knows what he is doing... so why not just trust Him?
