Just blessed...

An hour ago, I was reading Acts & just wept before the LORD. It amazes me to see all that the disciples first went through. Every time that I see one of them flogged, beaten, or killed I just cry... and to think that one day that could be us! Not that I wish such pain on anyone... but it is what we understood when we first said that we would surrender our lives to Christ. If it happens, we will have the strength to consider it pure joy. To suffer for Christ is a joyful experience.

After reading, I prayed over a few friends/youth & went to the Intercessory Prayer room... It was there that God laid a sweet verse on my heart...

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you" Isaiah 26:3

While in the prayer room, I could not stop crying... All I wanted to do was ask for forgiveness.. The moment I asked, I felt freedom & release. He is the only way. I am fully convinced.

Meeting with Him alone in the quiet truly blessed me. I encourage you to make time to be with Him alone... to really appreciate His presence & then to acknowledge His presence in everything else that you do today. He is with you. He never leaves us.

BLESSED.

Just a normal day...

God is always at work. It is up to us whether or not to receive from Him.

My prayer is that God's people will remain teachable.

Bless you all :)

Oh & read Acts 5:38&39

Single & loved... what more could I ask for?

Today has been wonderful :) Absolutely wonderful..

Waking up early is my favorite.. just slowly tackling the mornings with prayer, the Word, a warm shower and plenty of time to get ready :) The joy of being alive brings on another level of excitement.

& last night, my host family and I had an awesome time. Around 6, my mom started cooking corn on the cob & my dad started grilling outside... and then suddenly a monsoon came out of no where! Rain was pouring down in every direction & every way possible :) The power went out and we all stood in the dark stunned. It was awesome! The power stayed out... and my parents kept cooking. One of my youth, Mariah, was over... and my dads friend Gilly came over. We all sat around the table and ate... it was a candlelit dinner :) HEHE! So cool. The night continued in the dark. Eventually after the guests left.. we all got in bed. I wrestled for sleep. It wasn't happening :) We ended up busting a few of my youth painting my car! If I knew it was them I would have stayed inside... but the way my mom talked, I thought someone had broken into my things :) HAHA! It was funny. After that little incident, I eventually fell asleep!! Waking up was a joy... and to add to the ac being on... God's mercy covered me and put a huge smile on my face!

I am learning a lot... and am writing more on my new page... check it out: http://my365dayjourneysingle.blogspot.com/
