I want to live a life that differs from those around
To not be of the world but a light that in darkness will surround.
I want to be a friend who is not afraid to share
of the God who loves me dearly, my burdens He does Bare.
I want to be a daughter who only listens to my father above
When my earthly family may fail, He showers me with unconditional love.
I want to be a student who can discern what is right.
Things will be said that I am weary of, but my teachers words are light.
I want to be a teacher who speaks and does not hide
To share the words of God where only truth abides.
I want to be a Christian who when tested will never back down
That when living in this world, they do not see me but HE who wears the crown.
I wrote this in church on Sunday, thinking about all the things that I need to give up to God to truly be the person that God wants me to be. This is my ultimate prayer, that I may be ALL that God wants and do EVERYTHING for Him.I want every part of my life to be given to Him, to know that everything I have is from Him. I want to be a witness by just being alive.

Let's not simply Exist.
Sometimes I get these moments where I realize I am simply existing in this life. What do i mean by simply existing? Well let me tell you; Just kind of going through life kind of trying to work hard at doing God's will but somewhere along the way I stop praying and reading. I am not contributing anything really; Just simply existing. I am sure that it happens to us all but how do we get out of these slumps? How do we refocus? regroup?
I think we should realize that these moments when we "see" that we are being big slackers and just not really living the life we claim to live and that God has called us to live are a gift so that we can get out our bibles and pray and ask for forgiveness and help. Again, these are just thought by me and something that I seem to go through sometimes. We need to start living in the word in order to live the word if that makes any sense at all. In order to walk the walk we need to read God's word and constantly be studying and longing to learn more about Christ.
So in Closing, don't be discouraged if you are in a slump just don't let it cause you to simply exist. We are not here to just simply be, our jobs are to DO GODS WORK and to talk about who HE is and to know him personally and love him and praise him in ALL that we do. So I encourage myself as well as others to just pick up his word and read, and learn and to exist not simply but for a purpose. A purpose that God knows and that is for his glory.
until Next time,

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
We are called for God's purpose. Let's not simply exist. Father let your light shine down on us so that we may Exist for you.

Through Him.
In this world I will have trouble but my savior has overcome
Before I lived I was dead, through His blood I was gifted freedom.
In this walk I have felt alone, but my God is by my side
There are times when I become weak but His strength does not allow me to hide.
There are days even in my own home when I know i don't belong
Only through my Lord can I ever be strong.
In this life I will feel heartbreak, but I receive peace from above
I know that I have been redeemed, I have been saved by Your amazing love.
So it's been a while! I've really missed writing and now that school is over for the year it won't take nearly as long for me to write some stuff for you to read. :] But for now here is just a little something God has been saying to me:
How much do you love me? loaded question coming from God right?!
Have you ever wanted something so bad; whether it is a to listen to a certain kind of music, watch a show or movie, or have friends or boyfriend/girlfriend but you know you just can't because it's not something God wants for you and you KNOW he is speaking to you about it? Never, right? haha yeah me either.
How much do I love God? Do I love him enough to give up the things I love, the things that I might want to keep of myself but are not of him? Do I love him enough to hand over things into His perfect hands, His perfect plan? you might say, well of course I love God! and we do but think about how much God loves us! When we hand over these situations, these things, these sins, whatever it may be he is showing us how much we are loved to (not that he doesn't everyday) He is saying that without these things, these people you will be ok, you will be great because I am taking care of you and it is going to be so wonderful because it's HIS will.
Be still and know that HE is God. We will have weak moments, but HE is mighty. We will feel alone, but he is with us every moment. We may have heartbreak, but He is ultimate comfort.
