late nights in coffee houses talkin about Christ, life, love, the future..

tonight was one of those nights.

… such sweet friendships. thank you, Jesus.

“He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth,
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Mt 17:20

faith.

yesterday i requested for my last day at work to be at
the end of july. july 30th…what a sad day. since i will be moving to
texas in less than two months, i knew that i would have to quit this
little job of mine sooner or later. the thing is, is that the
relationships that have been made over the last couple of years at work
have been amazing. i have so much to be thankful for. thankful for the
present, and thankful for what is to come.

five months ago, i
would have been too busy to see how ungrateful i was. i was running
around with so much in the way. i was distracted by my busy-ness, my
friends, my work…me. my eyes were too fixed on the present. i would
hear Him whisper “be still” but i still ran around too much
to actually slow down. it has taken brokenness that has lead me to
surrender more of myself. it has taken the much needed time with my
first Love and time to dig deeper into His word. it has taken
discipline but the peace is so precious. there is so much to learn and
i am ready. eager. to be transparent. teachable. authentic. real.
confident. to be His.

thank you, Jesus.

“You guide with Your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
whom have i in heaven but You? and earth has nothing i desire besides You…”
psalm 73:24-25

faithful?

yes He is.

our God is much more than faithful….so much more…

what a beautiful day.

from my journal a few days ago:

i believe in a God who calls us to live our lives
on a journey He marked out for us filled with a hunger
and desire to see His name glorified. i believe in a God who
desires to break bondages, tear down strongholds, and revive
and release to see God’s love, mercy, and power. our God is
an awesome God and He calls us to share that good news with
the brokenhearted, the hurting, the deprived, the sick, and so forth. i believe in a
God who is able to give us the faith to move a mountain, to change the world. He
restores hearts, and makes everything beautiful in His time. i desire that i never hold
onto something so close that i would hesitate even for a moment togive it up if asked.
 to travel, to love, to learn, to laugh, to dream, to surrender, to live my live to the fullest in Christ

what is beauty?

“it is possible for an unholy thing to be pretty or attractive, even charming. but it is not possible for it to be beautiful. only that which is holy can be beautiful ultimately.”

-tozer.

“charm is deceptive….”

 pr. 31:30

may our hearts reflect Yours, Jesus.

lately, it seems as if God has been breaking me in, shaping me, and teaching me more and more…

…i pray that He would become greater & i become less, and that is
not always easy. it takes sacrifice. it take endurance. it takes giving
away the things i want, the things i desire. but it is so worth it,
because He is so worthy. all i can do is give Him everything and lay it
all at the foot of the cross. as Jesus said: “come to Me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest…”

i’ve tried to hold on to some things for so long, instead of giving
them to Christ. i’ve tried to make it in my own strength but it does
not get me very far. i am to give Him all. all of me. when we fully
surrender to His beautiful love, He is able to use us in the most
amazing ways. continue to teach me, Jesus. i am wholly yours.

I love this verse……only in Christ there is the truest peace, the richest joy, and the most profound love…

I will never let go of this promise and this truth…Jesus has truly captured my heart and everything I have is His.

Isn’t it amazing how God uses certain people to fufill His own will for our lives?

Thank you Jesus for blessings that give me a peace about my future. For hope. For joy.

and thank you, i hope you know who you are, for your generous help… it means more than you could imagine. May God bless you!

spring is here and i am reminded that He makes all things new.
&  that all things work together for His good and His glory…
