"Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him."
It's been quite the week, and it seems to be dragging. I can't seem to focus or not be stressed at work. So I took some hours off this morning even though I feel guilty about it. I just have so many things that I need to spend time with God and in...
I want to be able to surrender everything to Christ. Just when I think I have done it, or when I think I am doing great, something happens that reminds me once again what a fallen human I am. Without the love of Christ, I would be nothing.
Surrendering is hard in some areas for me. I think...
Oh Lord,
Creator of all things, to you I lift up my life. I know not where you will lead more, or where you would have me go. I fall down, and don't know how to pick myself back up. All my hopes and dreams lay scattered on the floor; let my hope in You never fail.
You are the Lord of all the...
Be near to me in my darkness, as I walk through the valley. Things have been hard lately and I have been doing my best to hang on. I really feel dragged down by spiritual darkness. My conscience is clear in you and in knowing that you are who I server, and yet I can feel the attacks of the...
We often think of the single person as one would think of a single sock, a single shoe, or a single earring. I say this because we think of the single person without a partner as someone who is not complete, that something is missing from their lives. Without that partner, the assumption of many...
So I am sitting here in my car with the heat cranked up and K-Love playing in the background. My car is filled with boxes as I moved into my new place yesterday and I went and got the rest of my stuff from storage during my lunch break today.
I am in front of the local library so that I can...
Every year should bring about change. Contemplating my life tonight, I see many different areas in which I have changed, even if that change is a continueing ongoing progress in me.
It has been this year that I have commited my dating life to God more fully. I no longer date non-Christian men...
At this point in my life, I am tired of the dating game. I used to find it exciting. I think it was because I wasn't very good at picking out good dating partners because I didn't know myself well and wasn't commited to only going out with those who were walking the Christian walk. Now that...
Note: This is just how I use these verses to apply to my "dating" life. Taking it out of context? No, just using it for a specific thing in my life that helps me to stay on track with Christ.
1. Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong (1)
2. Trust in the Lord (3)(5)...
I'm so tired that I should just go to bed right now. Yet, I will refrain for a couple more hours so that I can actually stay asleep the entire night (that is my hope anyway). I feel like my bronchitis has cleared up some, but this evening I just feel sick again-congested. I have now been sick...
Have you heard the song called "Where You Lead Me" by MercyMe? I heard it the first time a couple of days ago while I was searching for music online; it is now my myspace main song file. If you haven't heard it, I highly recommend you taking a momet to find it online and listening.
So it goes...
This is a summer of seeking. A continuous search for God's will in my life. I am told that God's will is plain for us to see if we are walking with Him in truth. If that is the case, then perhaps something is wrong and I don't even realize it. At times I feel like I am hitting a wall in the...
So I noticed in the church thread that I posted yesterday that there are some people who have a hard time going because they feel uncomfortable, because they don't know others. I just wanted to share with you my experience on this, even though it is stll a work in progress. So I begin:
I have...
