There is nothing like your love...

For those of you who know me, know that I pay attention to details, sometimes way more than I should, but nonetheless, I notice even the small things. Although this can be a good thing, at times it also has its downfalls. I am finding in my life right now, the greatest joy is resting. In fact the only time I find myself to be at complete peace is when I am fully seeking the Lord, and am in no state of mind to ask why, or even seeking an explanation, but in resting in Him as he gives me peace. Psalm 46:10
says, "Be still and know that I am God." That is a command, however I have been taking it as a suggestion, it is not only what he tells us to do because he loves us, but because it is what is best for us. No one knows us greater than God himself, so why do we continue to try and take the reigns? The answer is beyond me, but I am finding it is when I begin to rely on myself and lean on my own choices and emotions, ( Which is so dangerous) when I lose the joy and peace that only He can bring! At this point in my life its easy to ask what am I going to do when I graduate, or even better, who will I marry and how and when will he come? This is another topic i could write about...As easy as it is to say when is my turn ( and I am guilty) I am so thankful for the sweet friend that reminded me of this, there is no time like the present, being used as a single lady, being able to give all that I am and have to the Lord, where and how he chooses to use me. So why worry? I can't. It is in the Lords hands, and instead of being discontent and waiting for Prince Charming to ride up on that pretty white stallion, I will go forth and seek the Lord more than ever before. And then and only then, if it is the Lords desire to bring that special man into my life, let it My prayer is that the Lord blind my eyes until it is time for my eyes to be opened. After all the whole purpose of a relationship is to push one another to the Lord, being able to put the Lord as your first true love, and each other second. So I know that when and only when the Lord will get more glory from my life than He is already getting will it be time, therefore I need to take advantage of the time I have now in pursuing Him will all of my heart and soul as I am a single young woman. He chooses to be selfish with the ones he loves, and I am at no place to argue. What better place to be than in the arms of my savior!

As I am choosing to rely on the Lord for His peace and wisdom to guide me in every aspect of my life I want to share some exciting news about this upcoming summer! In just a few weeks I will be leaving Sweet Home Alabama to head out West to Sacramento California! It has been such a blessing how the Lord has worked everything out leading up to this point, but to make a long story short since I was in high school I have been interested in pursuing a worship internship for Bayside Covenant, and after much prayer and favor, this summer that will become a reality! Please keep me in your prayers as I am out there for the next 8 weeks. I am so excited to see all the Lord has in store while I am there. Please pray that as much of a blessing Bayside has already been to me, that I can be a blessing to them as I am able to serve along side them as we all pursue the Kingdom together!! Also, I am going to blog a lot more while I am over there, so be sure to stay tuned for some good pictures and stories!!

God Bless,
