seek Him

God may speak by giving us peace deep inside of us. He may give a creative idea; He may calm our trobled emotions; He may give us asurance. God speaks in various ways, but if we seek Him we will find Him. He will lead us and guide us if we acknowledge Him in all our ways. Proverbs 3:5-6

We should develop the habit of running to God when we have trouble instead of to people. We should seek God rather than our own minds or other people's minds. Ask yourself, "When trouble comes, do I run to the phone or the throne?" God might direc us to a person for advice, but we should always go to Him first to show that we honor and trust Him.

2 Timothy 1:7

2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Anytime trouble comes our way fear is usally the forst thing we feel. The enemy injects "what if'" thoughts into our head, and we often begin to see the worst possible outcome. As soon as that happens, we should realize what is going on... The enemy is trying to keep us from going forward in God's will and good plan for our lives.

When we feel fear or begin to expierance fearful thoughts, the very first thing we should do is pray. As we seek God, we are focusing on Him instead of on out fears. We worship Him for who He is and express our appreciation to Him for the good He has done and is doing and will continue to do.

God has blessings and new oppertunites in store for us. To recieve them we must take steps of faith.

is love a choice?

in time for valentines day....

There is something romantic about falling in love. When we imagine a magical moment a little spark, an unforgettable and un-planned experience where something happens and the couple just knows it was meant to be.

enjoy your night with your valentine, or enjoy your night to yourself. Either way, enjoy yourself!

and it happened

i woke up and realized I was going to be a teacher.
elementary school.
kindergarten to be exact.
or first grade.

arn't conversations with God funny.

your heart is closed

Tell me that you'll open your eyes...

all the things i wish i had said,
are played in loops in my head.
is it too late to remind you how we were?

..and i won't waste a minute without you.

things i crave

purpose. beauty. meaning.

let it all go.

holding onto anger is like holding onto a hot coal with intentions of throwing it at someone. You're the one who gets burned.

quote

"people are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are"

communication

the most important thing you can do with your lips is communicate.

pray that God will reveal the places where your communication can improve. Ask God to give you the gift of Grace to change your weakness.

if you never open us the other person won't be able to know who you truely are, and as a result you won't get anywhere with them.
