i know....i know. famous last words

well...ok, so i told everyone i would "neeeever" start blogging b/c first: i think blogs are just like an online journal and a lot of people write things that, well, are maybe just a little too personal. and second: well, i ha..."strongly dislike" writing. So...i was determined to never do one. Well, if i've learned anything from my older sister - it's never do the "never will i ever" do this...or chances are very likely God will change your heart and you'll find yourself doing the very thing that you said you would not do in life. But when it comes to blogging...i don't just want to write stories about myself and my life - i mean - come on! BORING! (even though i do have quite a few VERY humorous stories as i do seem to get into these funnily humorous situations, but) i want to use this blog to help write GOd's story. i've seen Him work in so many ways in my life and the lives of those around me. Most of my blogs will be stories of lessons i have learned, or how God has humbled my heart as i have fallen short of His glory. But i want you to be encouraged to keep walking in the Lord. i know that there will be times in your life that you will struggle...you will fail...you may even be tempted to turn your back on the Lord. But PLEASE DON'T! i cannot even begin to describe how joyous and full of EVERYTHING a life in Christ is! It is by far the best decision i have ever made! and there is no turning back. To whom would i turn? and where can i go to receive anything greater than what God has given me? no...my heart is sealed. i have sold myself. i have cosigned my life to Christ. i am now His vessel...like the clay in the potter's hand. My delight is in Him. How i long for so many to feel the peace that i have in my Lord and Saviour.

Unexpected Waters Carried Me to the Rock

Two years ago, I was sitting on the end of a treadmill...crying...and pouring out my heart before the Lord, extremely frustrated with my life circumstances. Having just recently graduated from an academic university with two degrees, huge dreams and ambitions lingering in my mind, and yet... I was still single, living with my parents, working full time wiping old people's butts for a living and seeing no hope for the future  ...not how I pictured my life after college. God, in His gentle voice, whispered sweet words of love in my ear...reminding me that life is a gift, bringing to mind that this is not my home, and reassuring me that He has a plan for my life that is greater than my plans...once again teaching me the humbling reality of surrender and cultivating a heart of thankfulness for my current circumstances.  ...lessons that have come to mind frequently over the last two years. I realized that each day I get to inspire people to greatness, push individuals to their ...

Waterfall

Salty water drops threatening to take the plunge over the precipice to their doom. Undaunted by the heights, they teeter at the edge. Their kinsmen closely pressing in from behind. No room for hesitation, yet mid jump...second thoughts. They grope the lashes, Desperately clinging, fighting to remain, to stay...to go back home. Their master, silent, unwavering gaze fixed on the white wall, No longer steered by emotions And numbed by the nightly ritual. One blink of an eye, they are pushed to their death The waterfall...release... Gushes of past spoke of bony fingers interrupting their descent. New drops free falling to their destiny. The muffled funeral chant buried deep in Egyptian cotton.

Day 1 of the treasure hunt...

Image
This morning i bounced out of bed in anticipation and excitement of seeking my treasure...after working with my client at 6am i opened up the Word (which is unheard of for me early in the morning). After the inspiration of memorizing 1 Peter i jumped into my car and headed to work. I unconsciously flipped on the radio, only to second think it and turn it off. The silence was daunting but refreshing. Soon prayers and praise started streaming through my mouth like no body was watching. Absolutely refreshed and alive, i pulled into work. Work was long and studying this afternoon was dreadfully boring, but b/c i had my eyes on Jesus everything was in perspective and no bad attitudes! Praise the Lord! I do not say any of this to boast...i'm not perfect but i was just so encouraged by the power of the Holy Spirit working in my life. I know what i'm like when i am not full of the Spirit and it isn't pretty or attractive. But i saw a little glimpse of God's character through my...
