All a part of His beautiful Plan

Allow Me to introduce Myself again
I'm the One that knew you before time began
I've been waiting for you to let Me be your friend
Everything you ever need is everything I am


 I have had little to say lately. I have fell silent with words unable to speak. God has been doing a lot over the past few months. And I wanted to share a little insight into it. Let me start with this .. God has had me in a season of newness. Everything has been out my comfort zone, bending and shaping me. It's been a hard season. When nothing makes sense and everything is circling around you. It's how diamonds are made, under pressure. 

 Let's go back a little to March. This was when God gave me the revelation of the power of the spoken word. I literally sang in my car and I felt the spirit of bondage fall off me. He has made me pray out loud to myself every morning before work and more recently I got my first acoustic guitar. I'm excited to finally learn to play and sing again. Learning to sing songs over your life and write the melodies of your heart. 

 About two weeks before Life Weekend, I had three people come to me and say that I needed to go. I really didn't want to go. I have only ever gone to Killington. But God was telling me that I needed to go. So I went and I'm so glad that I did. It was a different group of people and it was more of your traditional retreat. It was about going deeper. Deeper with God, deeper with community, deeper in relationship. It opened doors to getting to know people more and learning more about who God created you to be. I didn't quite realize how hungry for the Lord I was. I miss being in a Christ centered community like that. I miss going deeper, and constantly growing. God has lead me to local ministries and expanding my love for missions and community. You feel apart of something. You feel accepted. You feel like your seen. Being intentional is huge in part of building relationships. Just go deeper. 

 His plans have been far different then mine. I was not expecting for my life to look like it does. But in hindsight, I'm glad for it. All these delays are really His plans to mold and shape me in the Godly woman I am today. The waiting is hard. We all have bad days. But I'm learning to live my best life in these moments. 

 There are times you feel like your not visible or even noticed, your seen. People see you. They can see how you live your life full out for the Lord and love on people. It's hard to not listen to the lies of the enemy echo in your ears that your not good enough, worthy enough or ever enough. God says that you are worthy. Listen to His truths. Let His Word ring truth to you. 

 He has given me a new language to freely be myself and inspire everyone I come across with. What it means to really glow and spread the perfume of the Lord. These seasons can be incredibly painful, and often hard to understand. You are not unworthy of someone's affection. God know's and sees everything. There is so much beauty in the mess, and it's been amazing all at the same time. I am praying to continually see God's hand in every situation and every place that I am lead to. 

 “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

True Love Dates

I  attended a singles seminar with Debra Fileta, who is a relationships blogger and counselor. She talked through some hard truths, but also what it means to be a healthy person to have healthy relationships. Here are a few things she said: •Healthy people equal healthy relationships  •Set boundaries as a single person way before marriage •Be two whole people who don’t need each other, but rather choose to be with each other  •Choose someone who will get better with time  •Give and take, learn to communicate your feelings, interdependence  •Be spiritually equal, anything of value is worth protecting  Relationships are hard. We talk it up, to be something so much more then it is. That includes families, kids, relationships and marriage. Your feelings are vital and need to be able to talk about it. Learning to have a middle ground with personality differences. And really knowing who you are. Be in a healthy place as a single person. This is something ...

Beautiful Surrender

Beautiful surrender, that's right where I want to be.  When we have seasons of extreme highs and lows, its easy to have doubts and often wonder how God will work it all out. I'm in a waiting season right now. God has me right where I am for a reason. I'm stressed out all the time wondering what the future holds for a job. I've had distractions and wondering if it will ever workout with anyone. It's asking God for patience, obedience, discernment and contentment. God has so much in store for me that I don't know about.  God sees the unseen. He see's the entire picture. He is the master match maker, He sees the skills I will need for the next step. Its a season of preparation. It's the waiting in the process that is difficult. God is also preparing his heart too. And sometimes you are two steps ahead. And you need to pray that God is preparing them for you. Because it involves two people. But you need to focus on yourself and God. Its all the doubts...

Hello Friends!! So I wanted to share some heart to heart thought's with you. Over the past year or two, I have overcome some very hard life lessons, many of which are crucial to our well being. I learned a lot about the 'little stuff' that makes a big difference. I have learned more about myself and my character and how I handle situations, how I relate to people, and what I strive to be. When sometimes you need to learn to let go, because a lot is out of your control. but you can only do the best that you can. Life is messy, relationships are messy, everything is messy. but God takes that brokenness and can make it something beautiful. I felt convicted about my social media use over the summer. and you know what, I'm glad that I was. I didn't realize how consumed I was by it, even for the wrong reasons. It has its uses, but we need to be so careful in how we use it. Who we are online is not who we are in real life. we have personalities, a way we express ours...
