marriage

God says in Genesis 2:20-22 (NIV)

("But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.")

There is man out there that God designed me for. He's going through something right now and that's a deep sleep. He's asleep from seeing the works the Lord is doing in him at the moment and while this man is sleeping, God is forming me into his likeness. Spiritually, we are being created. Right now I am content with Jesus Christ being the love of my life, but one day, God will present me to this man.

My life of Worship.

Yesterday around 1:07pm, I realized how I want to go out from this world...

I want to enter God's Kingdom by using my last earthly breath worshiping Jesus with whatever I do best.

After joining United Student Ministries...I noticed my peers praised in their own unique ways. Some by prayer, playing music, singing, etc...Soon enough, I learned how to individually open up to God in another spectacular way. I praised God by dancing. At first I was so scared. I was scared to move and be moved, but soon enough, I stopped caring about everything that was making me afraid and just focused on my personal and deepest reverance and thankfulness towards Jesus. I constantly have to remind myself it doesn't matter what I look like when I'm in the presence of El Shaddai. *At the end of it all, did you become empowered, encouraged, and aware of things about yourself, others and God? When you stop at nothing to encouter Him, he will never leave you empty handed and without a purpose.

So when I worship, I truly put my trust in him as I close my eyes and move in his thrown room. I'm entirely his as I express my deepest form of love and gratitude towards the King of all kings. Dancing is what I know best, so why not offer him my best? He entrusted me with such a gift and I give him my craft of dance with excellence and growth. Through struggles, pain, heartache, confusion, fear...doesn't matter, I celebrate before my God and I rejoice in his joyful love and compassion for me. I walk in His thrown blessing his very name with ALL of my emotions and fears, then leaving with still and calm waters inside me. It doesn't matter what I'm feeling, He cares--God is very personal, but he still deserves a radical and honest praise of trust and worship.

Worship isnt just a personal praise, but a partnership with the Holy Spirit to celebrate and work with you. So whatever you do best...offer it to God. He wants us to trust him, so trust him with the gifts that HE HAS GIVEN YOU, it's never the other way around. I hope you discover the great talent(s) that Jesus left you with and partner up with his Holy Spirit. I love you all, God bless.

<3

I heard this song while driving around with my older brother...He likes country music so he plays it.

WOW let me tell you, at first I was just like, "eh, I'll listen.." but when this song came up on the CD player--I received it more than I ever thought I could.

So, my mom isn't really a Christian. She goes to church, but her personal relationship with God is still growing. I've never been a mother but I'm pretty sure it's hard to let go of your children.

In John 19:25-27, Jesus gave away his mother because he knew he belonged to God and needed to be with Him...his flesh was hers for a moment, but he was always God's to begin with.

My mom has such a hard time accepting and understanding my faith because she hasn't fully accepted it for herself. But I know that'll change soon. I still love her, I still respect her--but I know who I belong to and sometimes, I wish I could share this love with her...I just need her to be strong and let go of everything that's hurt her previously. If Jesus could save Paul...then truly, nothing is impossible for Him. My plea is for you to not be offended by Jesus anymore. People have hurt you because you placed them in God's place. You see...Jesus doesn't let a certain love enter you unless it comes from Him--and we all search for that, but when we let other people TRY to give us that, they let us down because they can't...so when something tragic and hurtful happens to us, we blame God for that hurt people caused us...I pray you don't do that anymore, because life was never supposed to be lived with that kind of pain. Please give your heart back to Jesus, the one who will restore your pain with joy and completeness.
