Lately, I've been seeking out Jesus and pouring my heart to the lover of my soul....

And this song sums it up.



Why did I ever stop?

(Thank you to everything who's encouraged me.... especially Somewhere and Ylsh. Somewhere, you are my love. Ylsh, you are the sister God has blessed me with.)
I haven't really thought of this much before, but have you ever thought of the talents you could miss if you are not surrendered to Christ?

Not a reason to follow Him...

But doesn't it make sense that under the guidance of the One who created dance, what a better dancer one could be?
Or to have the voice of the Creator in your song?
How about being shown the intimate details of molecules by the Grand Designer?
Your hands caring for others under the gentle touch of the Healer?

I've had people say about some of my friends "Oh they are so quiet, but when she's singing for Jesus! I've never heard such a strong voice." "When she's dancing in Christ, it's breathtaking."

Why act outside of that? Why not pursue purity and grace under the Savior? What is there to lose that wasn't rubbish to begin with?

Colossians 3:23-34
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.


I've been talking to my best friends.

Josh.
God.
Sylver.
Mom.
Ava Mom.
Grandmother.

And it's been so good.

Life is hard. It can suck. Love of money is the root of all evil... and money, the root of a lot of frustration. But...

Josh has inspired me:
To look for wisdom even when you know it will hurt. Even when your soul cries "No! no... I don't want to look anymore, I don't want to struggle anymore", to shake your head at yourself and simply say "Lord, this hurts. I'm worn out. But God, once more, I will ask for wisdom and strength. I know this is insanity. But I will ask once more."

Sylver has inspired me:
1.That life isn't just about our hurts. There are others who are hurting and need love. What better way to mend our sorrows than to love?
2. To wake up and praise. To wake up, and seek the Word.

God has inspired me:
(Through Josh) That He loves me. Right now. That I am beautiful and whole to Him. Not one day. Today. And there's nothing I can do about it.

Mom has inspired me:
To carry on. And cook cheap. :-p

Ava Mom has inspired me:
Through the fable of the wind and the sun. The wind and the sun argued over who could make the man remove his cloak first. The wind said he would just blow it right off. But the more and more he tried, the tighter the man clung to the cloak. The sun, he simply was himself and shined.
Satan tries to get us to let go by blowing and blowing, which really just makes us cling harder.
God, if He takes away one warmth, He gives us another.

Grandmother has inspired me:
That you never know just how bright a card from home can make someone's day. They are important.


I am inspired.
