When it Rains

It pours....
Life throws curve balls all the time
Especially when life is starting to become Stable
God has different plans
He can throw many challenges at you
Sometimes they may come all at once
but with Him you can do anything
He is testing you
to see how strong is your faith
HE WILL GET YOU THROUGH!!!
Just lean and trust him
for peace and understanding
So stand up in the pouring rain
and press on and follow Him

Quotes

I have some quotes that I have found that speaks to me in different ways...

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. ~Søren Kierkegaard
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties. ~Oswald Chambers
Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God. ~Author Unknown The People's Almanac-->
When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart. ~John Bunyan
God tells us to burden him with whatever burdens us. ~Author Unknown
There are times when silence has the loudest voice. ~Leroy Brownlow
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.... We need silence to be able to touch souls. ~Mother Teresa
People see God every day, they just don't recognize him. ~Pearl Bailey
Let God's promises shine on your problems. ~Corrie Ten Boom

Underestimation

You thought you could keep me down
but look I am standing
with more strength to move on

Easy

It was easy falling,
now I got to get the strength
to Stand up again

Yup this is what happens when your mind is not shutting down from the things that are on your mind. It really has been awhile since I have written on this blog. So I am hoping that it will help clear my mind.
So I went to Taylor's First Baptist with the RAs. The college/singles leader spoke tonight at the evening service. We talked about who gets the glory, what is the idol, and what legacy you will leave behind. This is all from Judges 8:22-35. It talks about how Gideon wanting to give glory to God, but he ended up giving the glory to himself. He had an idol that kept him from the path of God. Then we discussed of what type of legacy Gideon left behind.
This really got me thinking. What legacy do I want to leave behind. I want to do what God wants me to do. He has finally given me peace of what degree I should go in and I feel stupid that it took me this long to figure it out. I love kids and love psychology. I am going to change my major to inter dis psychology/education. This way I can have it either way. I want this so bad and I do not have a clue what I am going to do with this major, but whatever I do I want to give glory to God. There are so many options with it. I want to give glory to HIM and show a legacy for what I do. Honestly answer this question to yourself, what kind of legacy do you want to leave
behind? :)
OK now I am able to get a nap in before I have to be up early in the morning :)

Life is Short

Why does it take death to realize that life is short? We have to experience such pain and heartache. It hurts especially when you know the person/people that died. Taking the lives hurt the most because we never had the time to say goodbye. Goodbye, make wrongs to right, ask forgiveness or give the forgiving. That pain may or may not be healed. So don't forget to love, forgive, and enjoy one another. Because you will never know when the last time you will see the person. Life is way to short, so say what you need to say, and love one another.

Freedom is Beautiful

She went to the one place that she could be free. The small creek in the woods. She always went there as a kid to be who she wanted to be. As she got older she used it as a get away and to be free. Free from the pressures of the world, having to growing up, and just get away from the family.
Well today she went to the place that makes her free because of you. You broke her heart in pieces. She went there to cry and try to let her heart heal from the brokeness she feels. As the tears fall and watch the tears hit the water. She watched the ripples and realized that as the ripples fade away, the pain will too. She was finally free from the fact that she was hurt. She will know the pain for awhile, but she knows it will fade...She also knows that you will fade too.
