A Letter From a Friend

You are made with a purpose. I know it might not always make sense, this world you live in. But I made you, beautifully and wonderfully. I made you to have a relationship with me, to love me, and to worship me. Humble yourself before me, and to worship me. Humble yourself before me so that you can receive the love I have for you. I am. I am your ultimate lover. No one else's love will do. I will heal you. I am the Masterful healer. I will give you strength to carry out what I have planned for you. Listen. Listen to what I want you to do. Then you will start to realize and understand your purpose and my will. Commit to me like I've committed to you. I am always near. When you feel like I am far, it isn't me. Evaluate where you are. I am here to take you back if you humble yourself and repent. I want to be your focus. Stay the course. Stay balanced. Stay in me. Fall on your knees before me, your God. Trust in me and I will give you the desires of your heart. Consciously choose me, every day. Give yourself to me as you live moment by moment. Drink me in. Be consumed with my love, joy, and gentleness. Humble yourself to take me to others. Humble yourself to be used by me and I will show you wonders that you have not seen. From my Heart, God

What is it to be humble?

A few weeks ago, God put the word humble on my heart. He told me, "humble yourself before Me for I am the Lord your God." That phrase has made such an impact on me that I've to focus on humility his school year. Who knows, it might just be my word for life. Anyway, here's a list of unofficial definitions of what see as humility on my own life. 1) telling God that I am broken and that I need Him and only Him to fix me. 2) Not trying to bear everything on my own shoulders. When I do that, I'm telling Hod that he's not big enough to handle my problems. BUT when Ithe reverse of that is true as well so that when I humble myself and admit that I'm not strong enough, that brings glory to God. 3) Repenting of my sins on a regular basis. 4) Allowing my pride to fall 5) To cry "in front" of God. I'm not a crier, mostly because it signifies weakness to me, which is my biggest fear. So to cry when I talk to Hod is like telling him that I am weak and I need his strength ti get me through the day. 6) To talk to God throughout the day. To actively and consciously include God on my day shows my dependence on him as well. I guess for me at this moment, humility is accepting the fact that I can't make it through his world alone and accepting God's strength and will above my own since mine will never be enough to survive.

Psalm of Praise

From homesickness to Psalm 18 to girls night, today has seen it all; and so has God. I didn't expect to cry today watching a woman sign, but it reminded me of a dear friend from back home. I thank God for telephones. I thank God for the relationships I built there and for the ones I'm building here that are helping me through this transition. I thank God for his word, particularly the Psalms. I thank God for being my comforter and refuge, my strength in times of sorrow. I thank God for power to turn any kind of day into a joyful one. I thank God for Himself. Ps 13: How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will youv hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for her has been good to me. Ps 18:6: In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, /nto his ears.

A Woman of Worth

Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.” Hannah in 1 Sam. 1:16. "Now the sons of Eli were worthless men. They did not know the LORD." 1 Sam. 2:12. Hannah was not a worthless woman because she knew the Lord. God, give me worth by knowing you.

Excellent Women's Resource

Thank you to the author of this blog! Your notes have given me a resource as to find out what a godly woman looks like. My prayers that you reach more women than you could ever dream, and that your small group continues to grow and be influenced by Christ. http://gennean.blogspot.com/2011/05/godly-women.html

PURPOSE: the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, e

Purpose. It's what I want. It's what I've been striving toand only find. It's what God, and only God, can give me. Without Him, I feel empty and worthless. What is the point of this world if God didn't make us and Jesus didn't save us? There isn't one. God, give me purpose and I vow to use it for your will and purpose alone. To you will I give the glory. For your kingdom I will fight. God, complete my life and my soul. Give me a resin to live. Thank you.

My Heaven

In my heaven, there will be the most glorious sunsets.
                      I will see the wonders of the world in a day.
                      the stars will shine brighter.
                      there will be a doggy heaven.
                              but no cats.
                      my grandmother will be able to walk without pain.
                      my grandfather will be able to cope without alcohol.
                      there will be no third-world to save from disease.
                      my job will not exist.
                      I will experience the most passionate love unknown to man.

In my heaven, I will never have to say goodbye.

Farewell.
