7 Weeks

7 weeks til i get to marry the man of my dreams :] I have been waiting for a long time for this. Who knew that at 17 I would find who I was going to marry? I sure didn’t :] I can’t believe that the next part of my life is about to begin. 

People wonder why Elijah and I want to get married this young… wanna know why? It feels right! I can’t imagine a life without Elijah. He is everything I am not. He is the only person who can make me laugh when I’m upset. He knows me and why I am the way I am. No man can ever make me happier! God knew what he was doing when he brought Elijah into my life at such a young age. God has a special plan for us and no one is gonna tell me anything different :]

Worshipping with everything I have, broken before His throne, captured by the awesomness of His presence

“Everything is Yours” by Audrey Assad

When all the world is blossoming
And everything around is bursting into life
And I don’t have to strain to hear the beat of Your heart

When all the world is under fire
When skies are threatening to thunder and rain
And I am overcome by fears that I can’t see

If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I’m letting it go
No, it was never mine to hold
No, never mine

Who could command the stars to sing
Or hold the raging seas from breaking through the doors?
And tend the fragile roses with the very same hands

If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I’m letting it go
I am, I’m letting it go, letting go
Yeah, I’m letting it go

‘Cause everything is Yours
Yeah, everything is Yours

If everything is Yours, God
And everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I’m letting it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

It was never mine, no, no
It was never mine, never mine
no

"Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul."

Whatever the situation…

When things don’t go your way it hurts.

You cry, you get angry, you worry, you give up completely.

You have to let it go.

Have peace.

Trust in the One who holds that situation in His hands.

Just let it go.

There is nothing you can do about it, but pray.

Pray hard!

Only He can make a change in a heart.

Tell yourself, “I am not in control. My heavenly Father who would do anything for me is and I trust His judgement.”

Whatever situation it is…

• Death
• Divorce
• Fights with someone you love
• Financial issues
• Temptation
• Not getting something you want
• …

GOD IS IN CONTROL!

YOU ARE NOT!

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

James 1 

Faith and Endurance

 ² Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. ³ For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. ⁴ So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

 ⁵ If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. ⁶But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

 ⁹ Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. ¹⁰ And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field. ¹¹ The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.

 ¹² God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. ¹³ And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. ¹⁴Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. ¹⁵ These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

 ¹⁶ So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. ¹⁷ Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.¹⁸ He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.

Listening and Doing

 ¹⁹ Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. ²⁰ Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. ²¹ So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

 ²² But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.²³ For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. ²⁴ You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. ²⁵ But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

 ²⁶ If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. ²⁷ Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.

Psalm 142:7

Hey follower, just thought you should hear this:

passionforhim:

Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope.
You’re gonna do great things… I already know.
God’s got His hand on you so don’t live life in fear.
Forgive and forget, but don’t forget why you’re here.
Take your time and pray.

These are the words I would say…
