What you have isn't real unless it has been tested.
If it hasn't been tested, then you only can assume it is what it is.
But when all of the facades stop-
When it gets hard, difficult and easier just to quite..
what is real will be what is left.
All of what is false will be consumed.
So don't be surprised when people turn out to be someone different, when life gets hard, when days get long, and you aren't exactly who you thought you were.
For in the end of it all, reality is what will be left.
And to live in reality, that is where true LIFE is found..
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

John chapter 1
God revealed something to me today in my reading of His word..
I've read this passage many times but today it ment so much more.
" John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
Maybe it's just because lately I have been seeing how my only purposes here on earth is to share the love of Jesus, that I found this passage so meaningful. We are in the wilderness. Daily we are tempted by sin, but we must be the ones to stand firm with the Spirit in us and to not get tangled once again in it's lies. To stop going to school or work to make our kingdoms on earth, but to go to increase those who will be in the kingdom of eternity. Yeah, we will look crazy.. like John did (I mean eating locus and what not) but the Lord is returning.... Let us make straight the way.. teaching others with passion remembering the day we first saw that amazing grace. Let us never make the gospel dull news or let the fear of being considered a fool keep us from the honor of sharing.. for one IS returning that we are not fit to His sandals..

My applogies ma'am..
I have decided to resurrect my blog...
Life has been extremely busy and my blog was the first thing to go..
however, I wanna dedicate just a simple 15 min at least once a week to share what I've been learning.
So to all of you who still follow my blog,
I hope what you read will be of some encouragement!
As God has said, iron sharpens iron.

Brick wall
Like a brick wall our sin is there. Blocking us from the enjoyment of learning to KNOW God more.
We run, and no matter how hard or how fast, we will always hit the wall,fall back, hurt ourselves, and in the end, the wall will still be there. It is only when we run to Christ that He can break the wall and make it into a pile of ruble.

I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard this song:
I've heard it before, didn't like it that much..
But this morning it really spoke to me. Possibly because lately I've had "sleepless nights" in my trials and haven't been trusting as I ought. Because of this, I thought, why not remind my self, and you as well, of the promises of GOD! So lets list, with passages, as many promises of God as we can... ( I'm thinking the comments will go on for quite a while, but that is perfect :) )

"If it isn't broke, don't fix it"
The problem is,
we are extremely broken.
How broken?
so broken, we can harldy begin to understand.
And when God does show us just the slightest insight on how broken we are,
we fall flat on our face, broken.
But this new brokenness, IS the best brokenness. Because only broken before and by God can we really be fixed...
when we see no hope in self, and see our only hope in Christ.
when we are disgusted with self, and wanna live only for Him.
But the problem occurs for me, is when I fail to see my brokenness....
I say I am broken, but do I always believe it? Do I always LIVE it?
Oh God, I need You! Break me to Fix me.

I'll be Honest..
I'm sorry.
My blog has become so selfish.
It has become about me. me. me.
That is why I stopped posting for so long..
soo I'll be Honest..
I'm no longer blind, God gave me sight,
But I have bad vision,
and can't seem to find my glasses...
