"How deep the Fathers love for us!"

I was reading this in my quiet time yesterday and was moved by this verse so I felt the need to share!

"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spirtitual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthed with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
-Colossians 3:9-14

God is so good! =)

"I gotta keep singing!"

"I gotta keep singingI gotta keep praising Your name

Your the one that's keeping my heart beating

I gotta keep singing I gotta keep praising Your name

That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lapI don't wanna leave

Jesus sing over me I gotta keep singing"

Sometimes it's so hard to put into words how you feel ,but it is amazing how a song can minister to your heart. The chorus above was written by Mercry Me and it's called I gotta keep singing"
The line "Can I clim up in Your lap, I don't wanna leave." Wow, what power that verse is! I find myself struggling day in and day out being put down by what society portrays as "beautiful" and I forgot that the God of the Universe, chose ME! Sometimes I wish i really could crawl into the lap of Jesus just to escape the pain that the world throws at us on a day to day basis but I was reminded although I can't physically climb into his lap, "He rejoices and sings over my life each and every day!" ( Zepheniah 3:17) I am currently doing the study Stepping Up by Beth Moore and I come away each day with something new but a quiet time one particular day grapped by attention. She said we know God has many children, but sometimes you need to know that He has eyes just for YOU! As i read that I began to cry tears of joy, how awesome is that to know, The creator of this world, has eyes just for ME! I am a very visual person and the first thing that came to mind was kneeling at the feet of God and seeing his eyes catch mine! I cannot wait for that day! What joy we will have! I know I am preaching here but this is something that I really felt called to write about today! I'm not sure if anyone will even read this, but I hope it ministers to your heart. We all have times of trouble but I encouarge you not to be discouarged because nothing and noone can ever pluck you from the Lords mighty hand!

"Theres a peace I've come to know"

Fall Break is officially here, and it feels so good to be home! Spending time with my family and friends from home is something i have really missed, and i have enjoyed getting the chance to catch up with all of them! One particluar pair comes to my attention ;)...

Watching Jeremy and Rachel is so encouarging, and I am so thankful for the Godly man the Lord has brought into her life. The two of them share a love that comes straight from the fathers heart, and I could not be happier for my big sis! She has always been such a great romodel to look up to, now this is just more I one day hope to follow!

On a completely different note, the Lord continues to do amazing things in my life and I feel the need to share. I am still longing to hear that still small voice lead me as to what to pursue for the rest of my life, but I finally realized that as great as that would be, HIS timing is better than anything I could ever want or plan! Isaiah 55 states, "My ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts better than your thoughts." I have always known that verse, but lately I have really put it into practice, His ways are better and His plans bigger than I could ever imagine! I still desperately want to know what His will for my life is, but thankfully Theres a peace I've come to know through it all, and until then I will await His perfect timing!

The picture above is a painting that hangs in my bigs house, and i have adapted it as my life quote! I may not have all the answers, but I do know that His desire for my life will always be to make knowing and learning Him the passionate pursuit of my life, that is His desire for each and everyone of us!! For he sings over you with great joy, Rejoice for He is faithful!!
