I know I don't post much on this blog.
God has led me to minister more in my main blog.

Nothing ahead of you is bigger or stronger than...
“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” Ephesians 6:10
God is always good.
I believe God created change to teach us how to adapt in different environments and with different people. God changes things in our lives to make us stronger, to help us grow closer to Him.
Change is good, for it comes from God.
I’m doing a devotion for my church’s winter banquet tomorrow night. I want to talk about gifts… but that topic is so vague. I know there’s something God needs me to speak about tomorrow, but I just don’t know what it is yet. Trying my very best to listen for Him.
"Life would be so simple if we would all just...

It gets hard staying pure for God, but I know it’s just Satan trying to bring me down.
God, I’m not going to disappoint you. You never disappoint me, after all.
Friends don't cheat friends, but that doesn't mean...
If you could ask God for one thing, and one thing only… what would you ask for?
"I wanna live for Jesus, so that someone else...

James 1:2-3
Consider trials a blessing from the Lord, because you will develop perseverence from the testing of your faith. Trials are merely blessings in disguise.

Sometimes we get so caught up in drama that we fail to witness the small miracles God blesses us with everyday. Take the time right now to slow down and open your eyes.
How is God working in your life?
Unfailing Love - Chris Tomlin
You have my heart
And I am yours forever.
You are my strength, God of grace and power.
Everything you hold in your hands
Still you have time for me,
I can’t understand.
I praise you God of earth and sky
How beautiful is your unfailing love,
Unfailing love.
You never change,
Lord, you remain the Holy One
My unfailing love,
Unfailing love.
Thank you smilelines! (:
God Bless <3
There was a time when I blogged from my heart. There was a time when I wasn’t afraid of sharing how I felt, because I didn’t care what people thought and how they’d judge me.
Then I discovered my faith in Christ and grew as a Christian. I figured that sharing my thoughts would make people think less of me, since even though now I’m Christian, I still feel the same way...

First Step
helloenigma:
Such a painful lesson. All the trouble and tears. Just to let me know that even when men fails, You wouldn’t. And when men fails, it isn’t a reason to love them any lesser.
You know what I find intimidating?
heartforhisheart:
Is when I post things about my relationship with God.
Sometimes I feel like people read and think how childish I must be. I think that everybody else has it all figured out except for me. Sometimes it’s intimidating trying to comfort or minister to people because I think that they are thinking how stupid and obvious I must sound.
But you know what? Being discouraged is a lack...
I can't sleep and it's bothering me.
heartforhisheart:
My mind won’t shut off, and it’s not even thinking legitimate thoughts. I want so badly just to get some rest. I feel like I’m tied to something that doesn’t want me to go to sleep. I’m going to pray.

Look For Your Fish
Facing the Giants
Grant Taylor: Scripture says to honor your parents, and all you do is complain. Matt Prater: All he does is boss me around. He doesn’t even try to understand me. Grant Taylor: Matt, you can’t judge your father by his actions and then judge yourself by your intentions. It doesn’t work that way. You’re not responsible for him. You’re responsible for you. You honor God...
Facing the Giants
Brock Kelley: You don't want us to win games?
Grant Taylor: No. Not if that's our main goal. Winning football games is too small a thing to live for. And I love football as much as anybody. But even championship trophies will collect dust and one day be forgotten. It's just that so far this has all been about us; how we can look good, how we can get the glory. The more I read this book, the more I realize that life's not about us. We're not here to get glory, make money, and die. The Bible says that God put us here for Him. To honour Him. Jesus said that the most important thing you can do with your life is to love God with everything you are, to love others and yourself. So if we win every game and we miss that, we've done nothing. Football then means nothing. So I'm here to present you a new team philosophy. I think that football is just one of the tools we use to honor God.
Brock Kelley: So you think that God does care about football?
Grant Taylor: I think He cares about your faith. He cares about where your heart is. And if you can live your faith out on the football field then yes, God cares about football because He cares about you. He sent His son Jesus to die for us so we could live for Him. That's why we're here. But see, it's not just on the football field; we've got to honor Him in our relationships, our respect for authority, in the classroom, and when you're at home alone surfing the internet. I want God to bless this team so much that people talk about what He did. But it means we got to give Him our best in every area. If we win, we praise Him. And if we loose, we praise Him. Either way, we honour Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I'm asking you: what are you living for? I've resolved to give God everything I've got. Then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if you'll join me?
Fireproof.
Caleb Holt: If there's a God out there somewhere, he's not interested in me and my problems.
John Holt: I disagree. I'd say he's very interested.
Caleb Holt: Then where's he been in my life?
John Holt: I'd say he's been at work all around you. You just haven't realized it. You haven't exactly given him an open invitation.
There is a miracle waiting to happen.
This is your life; are you who you wanna be?
“It is written: ‘I believed; therefore I have spoken.’ With that...”

Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross out of love for us, so that you and I could experience freedom in Heaven. He gave His life in sacrfice for our sins. Jesus continues to love all of us every single day. His love is unfailing and true and pure.
People interpret love in so many different ways. What do you think love is?
From the movie, Fireproof
John Holt: Has she thanked you for anything you've done the last 20 days?
Caleb Holt: No! And you'd think after I washed the car, I've changed the oil, do the dishes, cleaned the house, that she would try to show me a little bit of gratitude. But she doesn't! In fact, when I come home, she makes me feel like I'm - like I'm an enemy! I'm not even welcome in my own home, Dad. That is what really ticks me off! Dad, for the last three weeks, I have bent over backwards for her. I have tried to demonstrate that I still care about this relationship. I bought her flowers, which she threw away. I have taken her insults and her sarcasm, but last night was it. I made dinner for her. I did everything I could to demonstrate that I care about her, to show value for her, and she spat in my face! She does not deserve this, Dad. I'm not doing it anymore! How am I supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over who constantly rejects me?
John Holt: [touches, then leans against the cross] That's a good question.
Psalm 27:10
For those who have a single parent, are adopted, are in foster care, remember that you have a spiritual Father who loves and cares for you more than anyone could. The Lord will always be there to take you in and give you all the loving you need.
Thank you helloenigma and ohsleeper! (:
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
you give me joy.
whomshallifear:
loveisrain:
you’ve taken my pain and called me by a new name. you’ve taken my shame and in it’s place you give me joy. you give me joy… you take my mourning and turn into dancing. you take my weeping and turn it into laughing. you take my mourning and turn it into dancing. you take my sadness and turn it into joy. you bring restoration to my soul.
hallelujah, you make all...
Thank you deniseherhighness!
