We ask.. we receive October 20, 2009
- I think when we ask the Lord to give us patience, He gives us the OPPORTUNITY to be patient again.
- When we ask the Lord to give us strength, He gives us an OPPORTUNITY to be strong.
- When we ask the Lord for wisdom, He gives us another OPPORTUNITY to choose the right path.
- When we ask the Lord for boldness, He gives us the OPPORTUNITY to step outside our comfort zone.
- When we ask the Lord for faith, He gives us the OPPORTUNITY to jump.
- When we ask the Lord for peace, He gives us the OPPORTUNITY to rest in Him.
- When we ask for guidance, He gives us an OPPORTUNITY to walk through another open door.
Our daddy is in love with us. He will come through for us.
I give you my heart, for it’s all I have to give October 9, 2009
The Lord has captivated my heart once again and never fails to show me His goodness in all He does. Over and over He proves himself faithful. He is giving me dreams and unleashing in me a fragrance of freedom and boldness to trust Him though whatever may come. He is so much greater than ANY problem I will ever face in my small lifetime. And I believe if we remember that, He will come through for us. God is so good.. It baffles me how man can look at the stars, watch a snowflake fall, pick a colorful flower, enjoy the different seasons, see a sunset, look out into the ocean or watch a bird fly, and think something other than God created such beauty..
I have such a desire to share with others the love of Christ. Especially young people.. I really have a heart for them. When their hormones are raging and they think their life sucks, I want for them to know how REAL God is and that He created them with a divine, specific purpose and that He sees them as holy and that they don’t have to continue living in such pain and brokeness!
In short, there has been a lot on my heart. If only I could put it all into words.
Be blessed!!
For you are highly favored and accepted by the King!
Well.. what can I say? September 24, 2009
Lets get real… we all have a ton of junk we carry around with us each day.
- LIFE IS HARD!
satan know’s our weaknesses. He knows what He can use against us to get us feeling down and completely blind us from what our Father really thinks, wants, and feels for us if we allow him. I believe that the more we struggle, the bigger the opportunity for our faith to grow, even when the pain cuts deep.
Paul said to the diciples encouraging them, “”We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22) Even after Paul was STONED, he kept on, keeping His eyes fixed on the Lord and what was ahead of him. I want to be like that. So I say no to the discouragment that keeps me down. I say no to the things that keep me back from you.
“The greater the devil, the greater the level.” He doesn’t want you to have any part in advancing God’s kingdom. So let your faith arise, knowing the Lord is your strength. “We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” (Romans 3:3-4)
After all September 10, 2009
In your ways oh God,
Redemption is better than perfection.
Your ways are better than life.
How could I forget you?
After all you have done for me?
After all you’ve done for me…
I will give you all my praise.
Let your glory shine on me.
Over and over you prove yourself to be faithful.
There is a song inside my soul, just waiting to be free.
Fly September 10, 2009
I can’t get enough of the Lord’s love and greatness… I AM ALWAYS WANTING MORE! I will never be satisfied. And I am excited for what is to come.
I’m spreading my wings, I’m gonna fly. I want to be fully alive.
After your heart September 3, 2009
Jesus, here I am your favorite one What are You thinking, what are You feeling? I have to know For I am after Your heart I’m after Your heart I’m after You
I’ll take my cold, cold heart
I’ll take my unrenewed mind
I’ll take Your word in my hand
And I’ll give You time, to come and melt me
I can’t even love You unless You call my name
I can’t even worship unless You anoint my heart
I can’t even want to unless You want me first
So come fan the flame
Do what only You can do – Come fan the flame
Do what only You can do – Come fan the flame
Do what only You can do – Come fan the flame
Do what only You can do
Just let my heart be alive
Let me be living deep, deep on the inside
Just let my heart be alive
Let me be living deep, deep on the inside
Come fan the flame

Who’s your daddy? August 19, 2009
I don’t want a normal life… I want to be radical in my every day life, in everything I do, say, think, and speak. I desire for others to intimately KNOW Christ by knowing me and Him working through me..
I’ve been praying that God would do something outrageous. That He would shake me and break me until everything I thought I knew about Him is no longer there.. I want more of Him. More of who He really is and not who I’ve perceived Him to be. Although I absolutely adore Him and fear Him, I still fail to give Him the credit and praise He deserves.
Whoever you need Him to be… HE IS
That’s MY daddy!
So I’m ready.
Break me.
Mold me.
Shape me.
Use me.
Give me a voice that is loud and clear, a passion that’s real, a creative and fresh way to reach the lost, and your Holy Spirit in me to shake the nations.
So I want to change the world..
Look to Him August 17, 2009
- A man’s deepest wounds come from the way his question was answered in his youth. Just like yours. You won’t begin to understand a man until you understand his question (‘Do I have what it takes?’), his wound, and how Adam fell. His search for validation is the driving force of his life. Yes, a woman can offer so much. But she cannot be the validation of his soul. A man goes to Eve to offer his strength. He does not go to her to get it.
- The same holds true for us women too, Eve. You cannot look to him for the validation of your soul. But so many women do. If I have a man, then I’m okay. Then I’m loved. Girls who were confident and corurageous in their youth become uncertain in their teens. Girls who used to have lots of interests and opinions and dreams suddenly seem depressed, lost, obsessed about their looks and about the attention of boys. The shift is simply this: they have taken their question (‘Am I lovely?’) to Adam. No man can tell you who you are as a woman. No man is the verdict on your soul.
- Only God can speak the answer you need to hear.
- Until we look to Him for the healing of our souls, our relationships are really hurt by this looking-to-each-other for something only God can give.

Always learning.. May 30, 2009
Sometimes we don’t realize how quickly time goes by…
Things that seem so big at the moment, will pass.
Find something to be passionate about.
Life is a playground, we just seem to forget this as we grow up.
Cherish the small things.
Rejoice in the truth.
A cheerful heart is good medicine (Prov 17:22)
Once you’ve experienced the love of God, nothing, NOTHING, can ever compare.
Love is not jealous.
Love never gives up.
Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. (Rom 12:12)
Follow your dreams, even if you are the only who who belives in them.
Allow yourself to be loved.
Hugs can heal.
Delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalms 37:4)
