Heaven is Sweeter

Yesterday my wonderful, sweet, lovely Momma went to Heaven. I know she's up in Heaven shouting a storm down. My momma loves God so much and she was truly a servant of God. Please just pray for my family:)

Blessings and Love,

Darkest Hour is Just Before Dawn

So I've been meditating on all the life lessons God has been teaching me during this testing time. I was awake this morning as the light creeped up on the edges of the night sky. It was in two words: simply beautiful. God seems to keep on reminding me that the darkest hour is just before dawn. There is this song I am constantly hearing on the radio "Would you dare, would you dare to believe that you still got a reason to sing, the pain that you've been feeling can't compare to the joy that's coming. So hold on....it's just the dark befor the morning." It is such an encouraging song. Everytime I get in the car and I'm listening to K-Love or a another Christian radio station. It always comes on just when I need it. I know God uses to tell me to just keep the Faith. Well I was thinking about this darkest hour. Sometimes it storms at night and when you get up in the morning there is debri everywhere if it really came a powerful storm. The Bible compares a
man that trusts in the Lord as a tree. In the dawn of your night you may see rotten branches and bad fruit that was shaken off in the storm. Imma hopin you can see whata Imma a sayin.... Trials. Tests. Storms. Are all to show a mirror into our hearts and if we allow the Holy Ghost will shine us real good to get that little spot or big spot off our mirror. My Co-Pastor says something along these lines "There is a trial custom made just for you." A tree may bend all the way to the left and all the way to the right. Sooner or later it will stand straight back up if is planted by the Lord. So tree of the Lord be strong and vigilant.

"I the Lord doth keep it; I will water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day." -Isaiah 27:3

P.S. I LOVE everybody's comments, I may not comment back but I do read them and appreciate your words of encouragement. Some of you are very special to my heart, because you are my sisters in Christ <3

Trust, Faith, Hope, Possibilities

Hey Ya'll :):) So wow I am actually posting a post on my blog. Twice in one week... I am on a roll :):) Anyways it's a beautiful, hot sunny day here in the great South... And I am inside with a sweater and socks. It's c-cold in my house. So yea :D just a little irony there LOL

So as some of you know my mom has been battling colon cancer and bronchitus. I know she is healed but we are just coming through a valley. It's amazing how trials are. It's like all during this time God has been holding up a mirror to my heart and I see what I really am deep inside. Just like the Bible talks about being purified we have to go through the fire. Before this trial started I thought I really trusted in God and had Faith in Him. Maybe I did to a certain point. But now it's deeper and it's like when fear and doubt starts creeping in I'm like "God I trust you, your gonna have to help me." It's amazing how God works. People around me are talking doubt and not faith. Even people close to my heart. The other day I was sad about what people were telling me. God though impressed upon my heart "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." I love how the Lord reminds you of His words at the tight time. Flesh wants to be in control
and have everything it's way. So when it comes to the point where you can't control the situation, it's scary just to say "God I trust you." Oh but the peace that follows. I am holding on for my momma's healing. God has been giving me verses and a thought hit me the other day. God's word is going to stand forever no matter what. I will trust in His word, I will put my confidence in Him. What is impossible with man, is possible with God. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

Blessings and Love,

A Letter From God to Women

Hello, so I've been busy...cleaning is now my life story for the moment LOL. I am preparing to leave soon for college. So excited to go on an extended honeymoon with my Jesus. So after August there won't be any posts for awhile. Unless I can get to a computer with Internet at somebody's house. Because we aren't alowed Internet or phones or TV. I am actually looking forward to the break. It'll probaly clear my head purty good :):) Anyways I was on my "No Dating, Just Waiting" group. This girl posted "A Letter From God to Women." It is so beautifully written and you can tell it is from the heart of God. So here it is:

A Letter From God to Women

"When I created the heavens and the earth. I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils, but you, WOMAN, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man, because your nostrils are too delicate, I allowed a deep sleep to come over him. So I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interere with creativity. From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib.

Which protects his heart and lungs that support him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone, I shaped you... I molded you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Woman support the man as the rib supports the body.

You were not taken from his feet, to be under him. Nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand by him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel... You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes when I see the virtues in your heart.

Your eyes...don't change them. Your lips....how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form. Your hands so gently to touch. I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep. I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and expierence with me. I fashioned you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support. You are special because you are an extension of me.

Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man....treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile."

-Unknown

Note from me: kind of have to take some of what is written with a grain of salt or I should say balance. I believe a man or woman can be total and complete in God without marriage. But this is still beautiful the way it's explained. Anyways :):)

Blessings and Love,

Butterfly Prayers

Heya everybody! So I've been really lazy about blogging. I've had a lot of blogging ideas. But I have just been busy, busy, busy :):)

The other day though I was reading this blog. I believe the name of it is "Love Unawakened." Well there was this really neat idea. I know how us "waiting" girls can get caught up in thinking about our future earthly prince and pray about him constantly. That he will be kept and that God will bring you and him together soon. What the blog suggested was everytime you see a caterpillar or a butterfly let that be a prayer promt for you and your future husband. Just like the caterpillar goes into it's cocoon and comes out a butterfly, so will it be for us when God finally brings your earthly prince. Well I got to thinking well I don't see many butterflys or caterpillars. But I have discovered they are everywhere just about. They don't have to be real. But I just thought I would pass along that. Because it's really sweet and amazing reminder. :):)

Blessings and Love,
Tiffany
