Blog writer here,
It's a beautiful night here in my small town, and I'm seeing God's beauty everywhere tonight. I saw the Sun set, and man it was like there was a rainbow throughout the entire Sky. :) Isn't it amazing how God gets to choose what He wants the sky to look like every night and what the Moon will look like? He is one amazing God!
My reasoning for this blog is to say, I know God holds my future in His hands. He knows my ending, and He knows everything about my future. He knows everyone's future. I'm having a huge struggle with giving this department of my life over to God...the "relationship" department. It's harder than you all may think it is! I didn't think it would be all that hard, but it is.
Are there ever nights that are harder for you all in the "waiting" area of your life? Because I've had those days a lot lately. I've been having a hard time with seeing God through and knowing that He will give me the desires of my heart. He will follow through on His promises.
Proverbs 16:3
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."
I was shown this verse the other night by a friend, and what they told me was when I commit EVERYTHING to the Lord, He WILL come through for you. He WILL give you the desires of your heart.
I'm always reminded of the one I'll someday love when I look at God's beauty of this world, like the other day when I was walking on the Hike, or tonight when I was seeing the Sun set. I thought about him, and I don't think that's wrong, I just get reminded that I'll someday be loved by one man for the rest of my life. That's a good feeling to know.
I may feel a little empty right now, but all I have to do is cling to God. He'll come through for me, and He'll comfort me, and give me the love I'm longing for right now. Whatever I ask of Him, He'll come through for me, if I commit EVERYTHING to Him! :)
...Just always remember that His love is everlasting, and never ending!

God Makes Everything Beautiful.
My thoughts on this hailing, and rainy day in my small town.
The other day I went to the park with some friends, and we went on one of the hikes they have there, and at one point we all just took a break and most of my group was talking to each other, but for me, I went and sat down on a tree that had fallen on the ground, and I just took in God's beauty. Everything around was so peaceful, and lovely. I could have sat there for hours, just not even saying a word, just looking around at God's creation. It was beautiful! I don't know what it is with me, but it's the simple things that matter in my world.
This park I was at wasn't the prettiest thing in my town, but then again my town is small, but the point is, is I saw beauty in the muddy nasty lake that was there on the hike. I saw God's creation through it all. The reason I saw God's beauty is because He makes everything beautiful.
There are so many times I don't just stop and take in God's beauty, but the other day, that's just what I did! I saw it all, well all that I could have gotten out of this walk. I didn't want to leave, I wanted to be captured in God's beauty for just a little bit longer. I've always said, "I want to see all God's beauty of this world." and I guess I thought I had to go someone other than my small beautiful town, but I don't. I can see a lot of God's creation here in my town, I just have to be willing to see it when God puts it right in front of me. Like He did the other day during my walk with Him.
God is the maker of everything, that's why when you see His beauty of this world through Him, it can't get any prettier.

Being Captivated by God.
"What is it that God wants from you?
He wants the same thing that you want. He wants to be loved. He wants to be known as only lovers can know each other. He wants intimacy with you. Yes, yes, He wants your obedience, but only when it flows out of a heart filled with love for Him. "whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me." (John 14:21). Following hard after Jesus is the heart's natural response with it has been captured and has fallen deeply in love with him.
Reading George MacDonald several years ago, I came across an astounding thought. You've probably heard that there is in every human heart a place that God alone can fill. (Lord knows we've tried to fill it with everything else, to our utter dismay.) But what the old poet was saying was that there is also in God's heart a place that you alone can fill. "it follows that there is also a chamber in God himself, into which none can enter but the one, the individual." You! You are meant to fill a place in the heart of God no one and nothing else can fill. Whoa. He longs for YOU!
You are the one that overwhelms his heart with just "one glance of your eyes" (Song 4:9). You are the one he sings over with delight and longs to dance with across mountiantops and ballroom floors (Zeph. 3:17). You are the one who takes his breath away by your beautiful heart that, against all odds, hopes in him. Let that be true for a moment. Let it be true of YOU.
God wants to live this life together with you, to share in your days and decisions, your desires and disappointments. He wants intimacy with you in the midst of the madness and mundane, the meetings and memos, the laundry and lists, the carpools and conversations and projects and pain. He wants to pour his love into your heart and he longs to have you pour yours into his. He wants your deep heart, that center place within that is the truest YOU. He is not interested in the intimacy with the woman you think you are suppose to be. He wants intimacy with the real you."
-As you're probably figuring out, this is not something that was written by me, this was written in the book "Captivating." By John and Stasi Eldredge, and I'm completely in-love with this book!
I was having my God time today, and I picked up this book, and I just started reading and when I came to about the 3rd page into the chapter this is what I read..(what I just shared with you.) and I just started crying, and crying, but you know those happy cries? Yeah don't worry, they were all happy! I was amazed by God that He can keep giving to me, and showing me His love in all different kind of ways. I had an amazing God time today, and if any of you are looking for a good book to read, get "Captivating." You WON'T regret it :)
God's love is extravagant, and so overwhelming. I LOVE it! :)

You Are God Alone.
-You Are God Alone. -Phillips Craig & Dean
"You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that’s just the way it is
Chorus:
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
You’re the only God
Whose power none can contend
You’re the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You’re the only God
Who’s worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that’s just the way it is
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That’s what You are"
-This song was shown to me during my time with God this morning. I realized while listening to this song about 5 times, that God is EVERYTHING, He doesn't need anyone to make Him something because Him ALONE is EVERYTHING! He is our Savior, our Lover, our Protector, our Comforter....He is everything! He loves us just the way we are, and He always takes us back into His arms even when we've done something wrong.
He NEVER holds anything against us, and He forever loves us. I'm amazed by the love God has for me, because I don't deserve it, but He gives it so freely, and He is ALL forgiving. This song speaks volumes to me, it's not really the lyrics that mean so much, it's the truth behind the lyrics.
Our God is Unchangeable.
Our God is Unshakable.
Our God is Unstoppable.
-He is EVERYTHING, just remember that when you're not having the best day of your life, and when something isn't going the way you want it to go, God is everything!
God knows the desires of your heart, and He will follow through on His promises if you allow Him to enter into your heart, and let Him take control.
Do you ever have those times where you believe your life would be easier if you planned it out on your own? Because I'll be honest, I do! But it's funny because right when I take my life in my hands, I realize that's it's not easy, and it's a lot harder than God makes it seem. And God juggles more than ONE life in His hands, and He has more on His plate then we would ever have, but does He complain? No! He forgives, He loves, He provides, and He protects. Again...He is EVERYTHING!
...and with God you HAVE everything! :)

The Moon.
Blog Writer here,
I just wanted to fill you in on one of my nights at home. While sitting here with my "niece" (she's actually my sister's dog, but I don't have any real niece's yet, so yeah she is my niece.) By the way her name is Finley... :)
Anyways, I'm thinking about My Love tonight. I was looking at the Moon tonight, and if you all have read my past blogs, you know that I have this crazy love for the Moon, and any of my friends know this also! But while looking at the Moon tonight I was reminded of the love I'm carrying around for my husband right now, tonight I was holding onto that love, wishing I could give it to him tonight, but then I'm reminded when I look at the Moon, that it's not time for us to meet yet.
Has anyone looked at the Moon tonight? or am I just a weird one?! I had my sister look at the Moon tonight also, and I don't think she sees the same thing as I do, but she tries to understand. I just see something magical in it. There's some kind of beauty that God shows to me every night, while looking at the Moon. :)
Back to the main reason for this blog...I hope everyone is having a good night, and to everyone that is waiting, guy or girl. Wait a little longer, dream a little longer, and love a little longer. They'll come, trust me. I know someday I'll have love from a man that adores me, but I just have to wait for that love. I can't have it right now, and I'm not going to go looking for that love in someone else, because I want to wait for the right man to give me all the love in the world, I don't want to just find cheep love right now, because if I wait it will be even better in the end.
Right now, I'm finding love and comfort in My Jesus! :) He's my forever love!
After all, I once heard that the hardest things are the best things! -I believe it.

Proverbs 20:9
"Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin."?
-Proverbs 20:9
This is a verse that God brought to my attention while spending time with Him tonight. I'll tell you what I got out of it, and you may get something different but this is what God taught me.
We ALL make mistakes. No one is perfect, and no one has a totally clean heart except for Jesus. Everyday we make sin, everyone of us. We are all sinful people, but the cool thing is, is God loves us all the same. He looks past the sin, and loves everything about us. He forgives, and forgives, and forgives. He never says, "okay I'm done forgiving, get your life in order, and STOP sinning." No He never says that because He is ALL forgiving, and ALL loving!
I'll give you an example, I sin by taking the part of my life I gave to God, back in my own hands, and trying to fix my problems on my own. I give it back to God practically right away, but I still take it away from God when I promised Him, He could have it. I broke a promise, and that is sin.
Out of my time tonight with God, I was told that because everyone is a sinner, that means no one is perfect, but I know we all try to be. One thing that really hits hard and deep with me, is when I see people that are scared to give everything to God, because they don't feel "clean" enough. NEVER feel like you aren't worthy of God. He loves you SO much, He doesn't care if you are covered in sin and you don't even look like yourself because your so covered up in it, or if you only have a little sin on you. God wants to clean you, and make you white again. He wants to LOVE you!
You can't be replaced, remember that! No one in this whole world will EVER take your place. God has a special place set for you in Heaven that can only be filled by you. He will never give up your spot, He is always waiting for you.
He wants to love you with an everlasting love. He wants to adore you, and protect you. Let Him! You will NEVER regret it...I haven't! :)
This verse was shown to me tonight by My God. I hope you got something out of this verse also!
My God is one AWESOME God :)

Someday Soon.
Someday Soon-Nathan Angelo
"Something tells me I’m not getting younger,
As time blows by like the wind.
Cause in my chest my heart is beating faster,
As I wonder where and when.
Will she come catch my eye,
Step in to my life.
I don’t know how it will be,
But here’s my word tonight.
I will love you more,
Than the ocean loves rain.
I will be your strength,
Even in the pain.
And our love will grow,
Every morning, night, and noon.
Oh, but until then,
I’ll wait for some day soon.
There’s a lot things I want to tell you,
About the future that’s in store.
For raising a family,
Where we’ll pass our love to.
A new life an open door.
But I know there will come a day,
When nothings going right.
And I’ll take your hand in mine,
And walk you through the night.
Will she come take my breath,
And knock me off my feet.
As worlds collide,
And souls inside finally meet.
I will love you more,
Than the ocean loves rain.
I will be your strength,
Even in the pain."
-I love this song. Always have, and most likely always will. The lyrics are amazing, and if you know me at all I'm a girl that LOVES lyrics! I just wanted to share one of my favorite songs. :) I hope to have this kind of love someday. But I'll wait for it.
After all, I once heard that the hardest things are the best thing. I believe that's true! :)
