Proverbs 31:25-26

'She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is always on her tongue.'
Yup, that's who I want to be!

'The Saving One'- Starfield

Hey friends!

Well, I really just wanted to share this song with ya'll. You know, one of my favorite ways to worship God is through music. To stand and sing praises to Him, to know that He's listening... It's just amazing!

Reasons I don't get my homework done.

Top reasons I don't get 
my homework done.

(In no particular order, just the randomness of my brain)

I'm a music addict.

I like to facebook stalk.

I go for a lot of walks these days.

I'm a horrible procrastinator.

I forget that I have homework to do.

I don't make enough 'to do' lists.

I fall asleep at random times.

I really like hanging out with my friends.

I really like hanging out/going on dates/ going for walks with my boyfriend.

I get distracted by everything within ten miles.

I like talking to my RA.

I get hungry.

I read the news online.

Someone texts me.

Someone invites me to do something.

I get an idea for a blog.


Basically, there's always a reason to not do the things you need to do. If you want, you can explain away all your wasted time. But, guess what, that doesn't accomplish anything.
But, you weren't looking to accomplish anything, were you?

Do some research & get back to me.

Hey guys.
So, let me first say, I'm a 'pro-lifer'. Yes, I believe that it's morally, ethically, and biblically wrong to kill an unborn child. You aren't gonna change my mind on that! (Psalm 139!!) But, just to be clear, I do not support any kind of hateful, mean, or rude messages towards anyone, including those who disagree with me. My belief in the sanctity of life is a direct result of my faith in Christ, which also results in my desire to love all people with the love of Christ and be able to share His truth with them. My God, the God of the Bible, is a God of justice and love.


Second, I wanted to share some websites with you, that discuss this issue.

What if??

What if….?

What if today you changed someone's life?
What if today you fought demons, and won?
What if today you told someone they weren't alone, and they believed you?
What if today you realized how powerful God is?
What if today you made yourself 100% available to your Savior?
What if today you had a conversation with the Creator of the universe?
What if today your life changed forever?
What if today you told someone how they can know ultimate joy, peace, and love, and they listened?
What if today God used you to speak for Him?
What if today you fought for the things of God's kingdom?
What if today someone was saved from eternal damnation, aloneness, and misery in hell?

What if…?

But, wait…

What if….?

What if today you were to tired to spend time with a loving, powerful God?
What if today you were in a bad mood?
What if today you were focused on all the things you have to do?
What if today you were angry with God because things didn't turn out like you planned?
What if today you were most worried about your friends and family?
What if today you felt far from God?
What if today you claimed Christ and lived the world?
What if today the things you decide the things you think look like fun are more important?
What if today you thought you knew how to help people, without Him?
What if today you decide it's totally fine to make mistakes?
What if today you're focused on your emotions?
What if today you put God aside?
What if today you're just to tired?
What if today they die, physically and spiritually?

…..

What if we lived every moment like
 we understand the reality of eternity?

It's this year.
It's this month.
It's today.
It's right now.

2 Timothy 4:1-2, 5 'In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage- great patience and careful instruction… keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.'

Revelation 3:1b-2 'I know your deeds, you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.' 

Revelation 3:15-16 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm- neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth.'

1 Peter 4:7 'The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self controlled so that you can pray.'

Hebrews 12:1-2 'Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith…

I am Forgiven!

I love this song! God's truths fill it, and every time I hear it I just want to dance!!




I AM FORGIVEN
VERSE 1
All sufficient, rich in mercy
You have given, given freely
With intentions, You've designed me 
Your forgiveness never ending
VERSE 2
All sufficient, rich in mercy
You have given, given freely
With intentions, You've designed me 
Your forgiveness never ending
When I fall, I fall at Your feet and You tell me…
CHORUS
I am forgiven, I have been given another chance
There's no condemnation
Your grace is sufficient to cover my past
Your love is more than enough
More than enough for me

With Your loving, loving-kindness 
You have drawn us to repentance
Ever reaching, You pursue us
We are moving with a purpose
When I fall, I fall at Your feet and You tell me…

I am forgiven, I have been given another chance
There's no condemnation
Your grace is sufficient to cover my past…
(repeat)
Your love is more than enough
More than enough for me

God of another chance, God of another chance
Nothing can separate me from Your love
(repeat…)
CHORUS 2
I am forgiven, I have been given another chance
There's no condemnation

(repeat)
Your love is more than enough
More than enough for me
