Life is CHanging too fast!

Beautiful Things!

"Beautiful Things"

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

I love this song by Gungor.  It makes me think about much God loves me and that he thinks I am beautiful!

Spring

I love the beginning of Spring.  I grew up in California and did not appreciate spring there as much I do in OHIO.  After such a tiring, gray, long and depressing winter, spring is a breathe of fresh air.  I love seeing little green peeking out of the dirt.  I love seeing birds coming back from their long warm vacation.  I was able to wear a lighter jacket today and it felt great.  I also love SPRING because it is full of new beginning and new chapters.  So much can change from winter and spring.  Winter is full of hibernation and sleep, resting of our souls.  Spring is an awaking of what is to happening, I time for progress to happened and life to express itself in full bloom.  I feel that a lot is going to happened this year and I just know that God is in control of everything, every tiny detail.  I ready to see how God is going to use people in their life.  Spring is full of fun and exciting possibilities!

Continually Learning!

Here are somethings that I am learning about:

1. Desperation for something leads either to a relationship with God or obsession with what we can't have.  I pray that for everyone is that as we are desperate for different in our life we are draw closer to the Creator.  As we our desperation grows and eats at us, we come to a cross road, an ultimatum.  What will be the solution for our desperation, will it be growth or destruction.  When we are desperate and we turn towards God, he is able to heal and restore us.     

2.  I am also learning about living in the present and finding joy in life.  This week I made the decision to chose joy in my job and try to be anxious.  Surprisingly I have had a great week, there were some bumps but nothing too major.  I have been able to joyful and find ways to help others find joy.  I have worked to give my anxious thoughts to God and let him be in control.  Life is a lot easier that way.  

Don't Blink

I love how Beth Moore explains so much better then I could ever.  These are two quotes that I love from the Bible Study: "Had Isaac and Rebekah conceived the first year, they would have been tremendously less attentive to spiritual purpose and divine participation.  In other words, they might have missed the God-gift." "Our difficulties are filled with meaning and far-reaching effects, leaving warm blessing on our earthly journey.  Our lives are God's "I am here" tag on the map of humanity."  I think we often try to rush God and miss out on the actually blessing in plans give us.  When we fully rely on the Creator and wait on his timing, then we are able to fully receive his blessings.  When we face hardships and "road blocks", theses allow us to totally trust in God completely and not on our own understanding.  All are ways should be devoted to that of the creator.  God wants us to rely on him so that he can use us but also give us blessings.  I love how, everything in life points back to the creator, we just have to be willing to see it.  We have to open our eyes without blinking and see the blessing through the "road blocks" in which allows to shape and model us for his glory.

God's Timing

I love being with people that I can feel myself.  I have the honor of spending the weekend with my dearest friend Leah Rife.  She is married, I love spending time with her because she give me so much amazing advice.  Today and yesterday's Beth Moore Bible study I learned more about Abraham and Isaac as it relates to God provision and love of me.  I love that God is the author of pure romance as it relates to Isaac and Rebekah relationship.  He prepared both of them for each other and they were perfect for each other.   In relates to Abrahams' faith and God's faithfulness in his life, this quote from Beth Moore is perfect:  "The most profound things God promised were often fulfilled against the greatest odds and through the most difficult hardships.  To God, faith is often the point- God does nothing cheaply. Perhaps the divine nature of a a promise fulfilled guarantees its expense."  I love that God timely is always perfect and that he brings people in our life to continue to bring us closer to us.  As we wait on God's promises for our life he is guarding our hearts and continues to gives us hope.   I know that has I wait on his timing in my life, God is preparing me.

God's love!

As I was finishing up my Beth Moore Bible study, I was thinking why do I spend a hour a day in God's word.  What is the point of all the study and reading scripture?  I smile to myself, because I knew the answer, I was happy with it.  I study scripture, I read my Bible  and go to Bible Studies because I want to know more about eternal God.  I desire to be in a close relationship with God.  I want God to write my story and have my life relax him.  This makes me to so happy when I learn something new about God.  I am continually amazing with his unconditional love and faithfulness to us.  God loves people so much that he continues to purse us.  He wants us to be in a relationship with him.  I want to be in a relationship him and bring all my cares and concerns before him.  God loves me so much, this just takes my breath away every time I think about how much God's love me.
