Happy New Year

So it is 2011 :) Wow a fresh new year... I am 3 hours and 53 minutes into it :0)

Here a few minutes ago I opened up my Bible and it opened to Matthew 6:21

"For where your treasure is, there will be your heart be also"

I try not to make New Year Resolutions, because I usually end up not keeping them.

What I do want to think of is "Where my Heart is?" That is what I challenge you also. As we leave an old year behind. Reach into this new year with a Heart for GOD. For the reward of the treasure is far beyond what we can imagine.

Earthly Prince/ Heavenly Prince

Last night I had one of those "Ahhhhh" moments. You know where you know something to be a fact and you believe in it, but it finally it penetrates your thick headed head and it becomes real to you. Well last night I was just reading my Bible and I came across this verse in 2 Thessalonians 3:5- And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting of Christ. Ok so you know we have this whole concept on waiting and falling in love with our Earthly Prince. Last night it became more personal for me. The patient waiting for Christ..We have the whole loving Jesus and falling in love with him..sure I knew that part...but that last part patient waiting for Christ... I have a Heavenly Prince and he love and adores me. One day he is coming back...I mean I already knew and believed this..but I expierenced it. He opened my eyes to the fact yes I have an Earthly prince for you and your waiting and that is fine....but there is another Prince.

Yes, I can have my Heavenly prince right now..he is always with me...But one day he is coming back. I don't know when, where, and what. But I know he is coming and I must be ready.. Suzette commented on my post yesterday about how maybe the man God has for me isn't ready. That kinda made me think. I need to be the bride that I need to be for Christ.. He is coming in all his glory and we need to be ready. Thank You Lord for Sweet Eye Openers :)

Some More Thoughts

I am sitting here in Web Page Design. I am bored and my phone won't pull up Facebook. Oh well I shall survive. Man I wish it wasn't so complicating as it was back in the day. Today's generation is so into technology (which can be a good thing) but some let it overtake their life. Maybe it's good it's my phone isn't working. I had it out during break and my friends were talking. I had a thought "I shouldn't neglect my friends here, I can get on Facebook later." Back in the day people actually wrote letters to each other, with their actual handwriting. Something is personal about that. I believe a lot of us have lost the personal touch. We all are rushing about and so filled with TV and Computers and Cell phones. I know that I feel like in such a rush at times. And I also have noticed how selfish I am at times. When my mom asks me to do something and inside I am like "I don't want to!'' And all I am doing is playing on a stupid phone. I am so glad that the Lord is opening my eyes and showing me where I am failing. I know by His grace and mercy I can be made new. This week 2 Corinthians 13:4 has been in my heart- "For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you." In our weakness is when we submit ourself to Him and say "Lord you take over, I am weak, but you are strong." That song "Just a Closer Walk" goes through my head. "I am weak, but thou are strong!" Our God is so amazing. His word is so simple the way he reveals it. It must be by His Spirit. Our Flesh is weak and enmity towards God. But His Spirit is willing and it's Truth!

Lead Me Higher

I thought my last post would be the last. But I was at the Library and I decided to write about last night's revival. It was so wonderful! God was really speaking to my heart. Last week I had this one verse on my heart "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord." Last night the preacher while he was preaching said this verse. I was like "Wow!" Then before church I had this other verse it was "Lead me to the Rock that is Higher than I." His preaching was about going up higher in God. But that when we get there, we are going to have to fight more but through Jesus we could get through the difficulties. Bro. Ray (the preacher) was also talking about how we need Spirtual education from God himself. Because that is what is going to keep us in these last days. Last night's word was just so wonderful and was speaking so greatly! I can't wait for what God has in store tonight!

Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I
Lead me there so I can fight
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I
For I have no might

Love: True Love

So wow..its really DECEMBER!!! Is it already time for Christmas? lol What a random way to start a blog post..oh well. So the other day I bought "I Kissed Dating Goodbye". Omw it is one of the most awesome books about purity and waiting and pursing that intimate oneness with Jesus. I wish I hadn't spent so much time pitying myself over being so single and mulling over it. But I can make a change. Well Jesus will make the change. I just have to surrender myself, my whole self. Not just a thought or minute or hour. But my whole heart, my whole mind, my whole soul, my whole being. In "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" Josh Harris talks about how we have this picture of romance in our heads, kissing and falling into each other's arms. And then God says look at this picture of love and its His son hanging on a cross. God has really been talking to my heart through these books and especially His Word. Jesus was true love. I told the Lord the other day that I was so thankful for His mercy on this stubborn thickheaded girl. Jesus is so WONDERFUL GOOD!! :) I know I haven't reached even close to the middle where I need to be. But Jesus shall guide me. He is patient and kind. Our picture of Love is so degrading and worthless compared to His love. We are so selfish and always wanting "What is in it for Me?" of " I gotta get all I can get!" But you know what instead of being selfish for this flesh and trying to find fullfillment everywhere. We should pursue Jesus!!! He won't reject us! He will return his love back. More love than we could ever imagine. We also have to keep in mind that Love is not just butterfly heady feeling but all what it says in 1 Corinthians 13!

Wow I've written a lot. It was just something flowing out of my heart I had to to get out! :)
