Jeremiah 17:5-8

.... HAHAHA! Wow! When I was in Australia, I met a good friend named Sheldon! She is an amazing woman of God & I am so grateful to be able to call her my sister. We were messaging back & forth and she told me that she also blogs for the band that she is in, Endless Praise (Check them out on facebook)! I immediately went to read (I enjoy reading truth). The second post had these verses....

'Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes..... But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him, he will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit'

CURSED IS THE ONE WHO TRUSTS IN MAN... BUT BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD!!! Haha! YES! How true? Well, it is the truth.

These verses bring so much encouragement. Just think, blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD. We are not asked to do a big thing or to perform some kind of miracle... or to walk perfectly.. or never fail... we are told that if we would only TRUST in the LORD then we will be blessed.... Putting any sort of hope in our own works will prove to be a failure (or as stated here, a curse)... Just being fair dinkum (honest)... If I ever put hope in my own strength, I fail miserably... and disappoint myself. But, the moment I put my hope in the LORD it is like I receive great blessings...

There is nothing that we can do, aside from Christ.

There is no real strength available, aside from Christ.

There is no one dependable, aside from Christ.

-I am not, in any way, saying that we should forget all relationships and become loners who refuse to establish relationships with other people because they are not dependable. I am saying, God is the only one that we can be dependent on. He is our only have-to-have. Everything and everyone else will fit in, they just cannot be first. God is asking that we place our trust in Him... and He is guaranteeing a blessing if we do!-

These verses even go as far as to say... that those who trust in the LORD will not fear when heat comes, leaves are always green, has no fear in a season of drought and never fails to bear good fruit :) WHAT?

Everyone who has been around me lately could say that I have been in a season of drought... but HALLELUJAH! This truth puts everything into perspective. I will not fear! I will place my trust in the LORD! I will not fail to bear good fruit... not because of who I am, but because of who He is! MY TRUST IS IN THE TRUSTWORTHY KING! Hallelujah.

So, think about it...

Trusting in your own strength will get you no where... (well, it will get you to a curse).... but trusting in the LORD will get you everywhere & you will receive a blessing! HAHAHA! God is so awesome. He just wants us to be with Him. He wants to commune with us! That is so sweet of Him.

When we do not trust in Him, it only brings a curse our way... (that is the wrath of God, I suppose)...

SO JOIN WITH ME IN TRUSTING THE DEPENDABLE GOD! Our Father is worth placing our trust in.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight" -Proverbs 3:5&6

YAY :) :)

Let's be fair dinkum

I have been in Alabama for a little over thirty hours now... This is what's been going on...

We arrived in Orange Beach around one a.m. (We = Taylor & I.. she lives down here... so we spend a lot of time here) ... Upon arrival, Taylor was eager to tell stories. She had every reason to be. I, on the other hand, was ready to rest. To not talk or think for days... :) That might be a bit of an exaggeration. So, anyways we eventually got into the bed around two thirty. I could not sleep. Around three o'clock, I stepped into Taylor's bathroom. All I could do was cry. It was strange. I just sat on her bathroom floor & cried. Knowing that God was awake, I sat there and just talked to Him about all that I was thinking. He gave me great peace. Knowing that I could not sleep, I decided to go to the beach. At four a.m., I went down to the beach to walk. For an hour and a half, I walked alone. I called Damien & Lulu and talked with them about what was on my heart.. It was nice to hear their voices. Sometimes I feel like Lulu is the only friend that genuinely wants to hear my voice! I was grateful for her enthusiasm... even though it was five in the morning her time. She is a trooper #arealfriend.

After my long walk on the beach, I headed back to Taylor's. A little after five, I got in the bed... only to wake up eleven hours later (yeah, that's four p.m.) i woke up, ready for more sleep... I read in Thessalonians and was blessed. The day ended with chicken, green beans, corn on the cob and brownies! YUM! After dinner, I headed to bed. That was soon after ten p.m. I was awake for maybe six hours!

Falling asleep was easy... but then, I woke up around 1 a.m.! What? I have been awake for an hour now... Crying again... Crying to the LORD. He knows my heart & everything that I am thinking about... He knows how to comfort me.

Fair dinkum. I am having a hard time being in America. It seems as though friends are impossible to find. It would be easy to
a) decide that I do not need friends & go back to being a "loner" as someone described it
-or-
b) make friends with people that are no friends at all & end up following their ways

....

the truth is, I know that neither of these choices are good or Biblical. In Proverbs, I am told to choose my friends wisely. So, I will. What if the friends that I choose live all the way on the other side of the world? What if?

What if it is impossible to find wise friends?

I feel as though true Christians are hard to come by. There are so many people that sit around & waste their lives on themselves... and I myself have fallen into this category... but I know that it is wrong... I know that living for Jesus means living as He lived; it means laying down your life for others. Living for Jesus is loving for Jesus.

My heart is to love. I love loving people. I love knowing people. I love praying for people.

I am crying out for community, for family. It would be such a joy to wake up and be apart of a Christian family that encourages me to stand firm in the ways of the LORD. Even if I just had Christian friends to surround myself with.

What if we weren't so caught up on ourselves and we started to really look like the body? I saw the body in Sydney, Australia... I saw joy there... I saw love there... & I miss it.

What if we weren't so caught up on ourselves and we started to really look like the body? I saw the body in Mobile, Alabama... I saw joy there... I saw love there... & I miss it. Remember those 40 nights of prayer? Or was that just a dream? What ever happened to my friends?

I am so grateful that being in the Kingdom is not a temporary thing, but an eternal one... I am so grateful that one day I will be able to stand in the presence of my LORD and worship Him forever & ever. I am so grateful that eternity starts here.

Forgive me for not being the light that I was called to be. Being a daughter of the Most High God means living a lifestyle of worship & loving others the way that God loves me... It means loving God with all that I am... & reflecting Him in all things. Living for God alone means giving up my selfish desires and serving my brothers & sisters...

Being able to serve my brothers & sisters (you) is a privilege that will only last while I am here on earth... I want to be a friend to all. I want to bless every single person that surrounds me. I want to be the body, even when it seems like no one else is.

If any of you think of me... please pray that God would continue to encourage me in all things, that He would draw me closer to His heart, that He would restore the friendships that have been broken, that I would be a carrier of peace and that I would know God more and more.

My hearts cry is to know God.

I pray that you all receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know HIm better, that your knowledge of God continues to increase daily, that all the work you do in faith produces good fruit and that your lives are worship offerings to the LORD who is worthy. Grace & peace to you all in the name of Jesus.

Love your sister in the faith,
Chynna Lee

Keep strong. Hold firm to the LORD.

Just resting...

"Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others." 1 Thessalonians 4:11 & 12

This morning, I asked the LORD to speak to me... I am always so eager to hear His voice... and this was the scripture that I found that really spoke to me. It seemed as though God was impressing upon my heart the importance of clinging to Him, to remember the importance of depending on God in all things.

I sent out a mass text encouraging my friends & family to read this passage because it is so powerful... one great friend & brother of mine sent back this "I will warn you to make sure you know the context of that scripture. Back then the Greeks only thought slaves should do manual labor. It was considered less than. The Thessalonians became lazy because they were expecting the return of Christ really soon. Paul was telling them to stop being lazy! And keep on with life. Paul is not telling you to be a loner and to not let people help you" Reading all of this blessed me so much. Hearing his knowledge of the Word created in me a desire to know the Word more and more. Obviously, my desire is to know the Word... I am studying theology. But, this desire is different. It is a passion to understand the circumstances of our people (from the past) and to know the struggles that they went through, simply so that we know how they overcame their struggles.

It is neat how God can remind me to be dependent on Him alone... for me to share a few verses with peeps and then to receive great wisdom and knowledge from the response of a friend.

I am so blessed to have friends that know God, that want to know Him, and that have a knowledge of the Word. It is my prayer that God continues to use the one's around me to draw me closer to His heart.

We all need to be dependent on God. We all need each other.

YES! So glad to be apart of God's family :)

Humility is key. You know?

Back to America...

Back to America where...

A smile is not always returned

A friend is hard to find

Everyone looks ten years older than they are

Couples hold hands

Dating is common & means less

Instead of being referred to as "LOVE" they call us YOU

Everything is cheaper

People say MOM

Instead of "no worries" it is LETS WORRY

Fair Dinkum is not in the vocab

Bins are everywhere

Napkins are plenty

We may have missed the point

... This is America!


-Everything is different here. It is nice to be back home (for now)! A big part of me really loves Australia & all of my friends there. But, I know that I am here for a reason! Instead of desiring for a change in the way things look, I am going to change the way that I look at things! Thank the LORD for allowing us to see everything as beautiful-

I REALLY MISS MY UM FRIENDS. THE CHAPEL NIGHTS ARE ALWAYS REMEMBERED. IT SEEMS LIKE A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER AND WORSHIP TOGETHER 40 NIGHTS IN A ROW. ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT, I AM EXCITED ABOUT THOMASVILLE. GOD IS GOING TO DO AMAZING THINGS IN ALL OF OUR HEARTS & I AM THANKFUL TO BE APART OF IT ALL. TO HIM BE THE GLORY, FOREVER AND EVER. HIS LOVE IS STRONG. IT JUST IS.

Still having a blast...

Pictures & more posts to come...

Remember, God is with you. He is all around. No matter what you have done, He is faithful to forgive you if only you would ask. Oh, bless the LORD today! You are alive & well.. HALLELUJAH!

Forgive others & you yourself will be forgiven :)

Australia is wonderful...

"Ears that hear and eyes that see- the LORD has made them both" Proverbs 20:12

God has given me ears to hear His voice & eyes to see Him in all that I do. He has been speaking to me today & reminding me of great truths that were previously taught to me. Fortunately, God does not leave us in our weakness. HIS LOVE IS STRONG. I want to treat all people the way that He treats me.

While I was getting ready this morning, God showed me how it is such a special thing that I have ears to hear His voice. He was allowing me to appreciate His voice & recognize His love as great, which it is.

Advice: Be careful not to surround yourself with a lack of appreciation. Never take for granted the voice or word of God. The knowledge of Him is the only thing that will last forever. Surround yourself with those who LOVE the truth and LOVE His voice. Listen closely, for He is speaking.

Wow you guys! I am such a sinner... but God has forgiven me for yesterday & now, I am living today. I am "livin in the now"... such a great place to be :) Thank you for your prayers.

I love you all & miss you so much.

Judgment Day?

So, tomorrow is the predicted judgment day!

WHAT?

Learned much today...

When I look back and read my blogs from the past, I am encouraged... I am reminded of the place that God has taken me & what all He has taught me this past year... I know that He will continue to minister to me and teach me to walk in the light of His presence.

A certain situation distracted me and altered my view on a lot of things. This was not good. But, God is better. I surrender. There is freedom in surrender.

There is freedom in surrender.

I am in Sydney, Australia & I choose to live in this moment... in this place, with these people...

God is here. God is near. I choose to draw near to Him... and no one else! HE IS MY LOVE!! HE IS MY LOVE!! :) GOD IS HERE!

Where there is a mistake, there is a greater victory! Victory in Christ! Woohoo.

JOY.

Sydney

I am here.

Jeremiah 29:11 & some others :)

Ever since I was little girl (just reading the Word & learning about the scriptures) I ALWAYS loved Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"... It brought me great joy to know that God had plans for me! For some reason, it wasn't until years later that I took to heart verses 12 & 13, which are even more comforting and full of direction. They are as follows, "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart".

God gives us clarity and real hope. That is, if we seek Him with all of our heart, we will find Him! He is not asking for a tiny piece, or for a certain day of the week, but instead He is asking for ALL! :) That is an honor. The King of Kings, the ruler of all, is asking you for all of your heart! He is the Lover that you have always needed. The Father who wants you to come to Him for all things, so that He may provide a way for you! I am so over-joyed at the thought of this. Every day, I try to seek Him... and when I seek Him, in anything, I find Him! He is all around, pursuing you & I.

In Proverbs it says, "Commit to the LORD all of your ways and He will establish your plans" (16:3). What a joy? He wants to establish our plans! The more diligent I am in committing my ways to the LORD, the more I see Him working all things together. He is in control, so I must let go of control. It is all about trusting Him with all things. It is all about trusting Him with ALL of our heart! :) Wow, He let's us trust Him! He lets us love Him!

I am so thankful that He allows us to seek Him.

It is my prayer that you all find Him today... Remember, in order to find... You've gotta seek :)

I LOVE YOU ALL!

Grace & peace to you sweet children of God.

Smiling is such a gift :) I do not know why we try not to smile sometimes (by accepting anger or frustration in any form). I mean, the more I smile... the more I laugh & the more I laugh, the more I want to thank my Father in heaven! :) Although I am a little nervous about tomorrow (leaving the country for the first time... about 20 hrs in the air) I am so happy! And so thankful to be considered His!!! What a joy!

Do not let the enemy rob you of your joy! He does not even have the power to do that! For real! Enjoy God, because you can :) Get to know Him, because you can! Love Him, because you can! Live for Him, because you can! :) What an honor it is to serve the King of Kings!

Bless you all!!!! :)

"The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good" Proverbs 15:3

I read Proverbs every morning. One a day, every day. God knew there would be days when my heart would be lowly & I would fail to seek wisdom in all that I do, so He placed in my heart a desire to read Proverbs (which continually reminds me that wisdom is calling my name, everywhere that I go). I am thankful for the precious book made up of "short pithy sayings". It is my all time favorite.

-For a while now, I have had a heart for this woman that I do not know. She is related to a friend of mine, and that is how I heard of her situation. The last few months, I have found myself constantly thinking of her and praying for her. God has allowed me to see her in visions and dreams. Two nights ago, I had a dream that I was in her shoes. I was married, pregnant and happily serving the LORD. Then suddenly, my husband left me. In the dream, I felt pain and sadness... but an overwhelming peace and understanding. It was only God that gave me this peace. When I woke up, my heart was even more so for her than anything else.. EVER! She is a beautiful woman of God, who is doing mighty things for the Kingdom. A part of me feels like God is allowing me to carry her burdens, to feel her pain, and pray her prayers. It is interesting to me, because I have NEVER met her. I do not even know what she looks like (besides the visions and dreams I have received). But what I do know is that GOD LOVES HER! His love is unconditional. He is willing to have His children pray for her, regardless of if they know her or not. I am grateful to be able to partner with the Father by interceding for her. It is a joy to be apart of her family and to love her (even if it is just in the spirit). Sometimes, I just want to hug her and tell her that she is loved!! So loved! I want her to know that God is so for her & cares so much about her that He is allowing strangers to lift her up daily. Even though I may never get to tell this woman the love that I have for her, I know God is pouring out an abundance of peace, joy and love over her! (He would not have me intercede if He was not caring for her)... God hears our prayers! His Spirit guides us in how to pray. Trust Him! When your heart is heavy for someone, pray! It doesn't matter if you know them or not, pray! God is listening. There is a reason why you are feeling so strongly about someone else. Pray the Father's will over them. Pray scripture over them! Pray wisdom & direction over them! Every single one of us needs each other. Believe it or not, we are the body! :) I need you. You need me! The only thing that will ever tell you differently is pride. Let not pride get in the way of what you are doing for God! He is with you. He is guiding you! Pray, serve and love! We need each other! [If you think about this woman, please pray for her! God hears] -

Today is my last day in America until the 28th! I am really excited about what is to come! Although I have been in a season of dryness, I know that God is going to refresh me. In Proverbs it tells us that "those who refresh others will be refreshed". This keeps me encouraged and reminds me to ALWAYS refresh others, no matter how dry I feel! We are here to serve each other. That is the truth. If it were not, I would be cuddled up at home (heaven). But, it is truth! It is exciting to think that God is allowing me to partner with Him all the way across the world. Just to love on folks, care for them, serve them, and remind them of the truth will be the biggest blessing! My heart is for missions. I mean, it is even my field of study here at UM. This will be the first opportunity to leave the country and tell others about the Lord Jesus Christ, which gets me uber stoked! If any of you think about me please pray that God would fill me with all wisdom and understanding, that everything I do in faith will bear good fruit, and that I will spread the gospel quickly and effectively. I do not desire to labor in vain, but instead in truth... led by the Spirit. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Bless you all for following me!

Stay in the Word, keep praying and seek wisdom in all you do!

He is with you, always.

May this song remind you that His love remains! :D

My Love Remains- Jonny Lang

Put on that smile, it's time to face another day
Tell everybody everything's o.k.
How much longer can you play this game?
Tell me how much more can you take?
I see the broken heart you try so hard to hide
I see the tears you hold back in your eyes
I sing the song that you might realize
You're not alone and I'll be there

Like the sun that continues to shine
Just beyond all the clouds in the sky
And if ever I seem to be so far away
Remember my love remains

I see the fear and doubt that paralyzes you
Could live your dreams but you never follow through
Open the door, I'll come in if you want me to
Youre not alone, and I'll be there

Like the sun that continues to shine
Just beyond all the clouds in the sky
And if ever I seem to be so far away
Remember my love remains
Our love remains

Before there were mountains, seas or any stars above
You were loved
Know that when all of these cease to be
What will remain is you and me
Forever, ever and ever
You're not alone and I'll be there

Like the sun that continues to shine
Just beyond all the clouds in the sky
And if trouble comes into your life
And even your best friends leave your side
And you can't find the strength to fight
Well please keep this one thing in mind
And whenever it feels like I'm so far away
Remember my love remains
Never get by without your love
Whenever you need me, just call my name
My love remains

Thank you Jonny Lang for this encouraging song. Lately, it has felt like God is far away. But, He is not. His love remains. It remains!!!! He remains the same! Always. His mind about me has not changed. He did not lie when He told me He loved me; He still loves me! Our God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. His love remains! WOOHOO! Bless the Lord today. Draw peace & joy from Him! :)

This year has been amazing! God has taught me so much & blessed me in His presence every day. Through new friendships, awesome opportunities, and resting I received one blessing after another. Walking with the King of Glory is wonderful :) Here are some pictures to give you guys an idea of the joyful people that I spend my time with! Thanks for following.


























"Out of the fullness of God's grace we have all received one blessing after another" John 1:16

Luke 12:48b

"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."

Lately, I have been a mess. Honestly, just crying and hurting; everything seems to add to my pain. A brief description: had to end relationships in order to continue a lifestyle of obedience, entered relationships in faith, was rejected then accepted, lonely and desiring a family, got my first ticket & cried the entire time, distracted so much that i did poorly on two exams that i knew the information for, my oldest brother got hit a few times by a car & seriously injured, my mom & little brother packed up and headed to ohio to take care of him, unexpected bills came my way, mom took my car to ohio, without any support moving out, have no idea where i am going to move my stuff to, and just now realizing that i may need to cancel the job that i was taking in Thomasville in order to support my brother.

All of the pain and confusion that has come my way is just an obstacle that I am able to overcome, simply because my Savior is greater than all of the trials I face. The Lord, Jesus Christ, has faithfully interceded for me my entire life. He has gone to the Father and made a way for me to be free. As undeserving as I am, He allowed me to live a year and a half full of great peace and understanding. Through His Spirit, He filled me with wisdom and hope. Instead of leaving me alone, He made a way for me to always be with Him.

In the beginning of my walk with God, everything was beautiful. There was not a trial that came my way big enough to distract me. He allowed me to see that nothing could ever separate me from His love! He filled me in ways that I will never be able to explain. Much has been given to me.

It is not in my own strength or accomplishments that I can boast, for I did nothing on my own. All that I am has been handed to me as a gift. Acknowledging that Papa God has given me all that I am reminds me to place my trust completely in Him. He gave me joy, unlike anything I have ever seen before. Honestly, there would be times where I just laughed for hours straight. There was no reason for laughter, no one told a joke or did anything funny. It was just God and I. The purity of His presence released joy over me. There were times when peace ruled out everything that I was. It almost got to a point where people were concerned. Instead of sitting around questioning things, I sat in peace and rested fully in God. I remember faith like a child. It was great, it was real. Anything He asked me to do, I did it. Not because I had the strength to, but because He gave me the resources needed to do it.

People surrounding me did not understand. They did not get it. They thought that pride covered me and that I thought I was better than them. When I realized that they were feeling inadequate around me, I started working at pleasing them. This caused a problem within my own mind. Instead of living wholeheartedly for the Father, I was pleasing man and working hard to do so. I was in control. Even though I knew God was over all, I was trying to take over something that was not mine to take over. My life is not my own, but His. He is in control.

What He has given me, was never for myself. Yes, I benefit from the gifts... but they are not to be used for me. The gifts I have been given are to equip me to bring others to an understanding of the purity of God. To an understanding of the love of my Father.

I am not great. I am not perfect. I am a sinner. I am weak. BUT.. HE IS GREAT! HE IS PERFECT! HE IS SINLESS! HE IS STRONG!

He has given me so much. There are times when I am overwhelmed at the thought of His favor in my life. There are times when I all I can do is weep and thank Papa for always taking care of me.

The truth is, much has been taken from me... but the Greater truth is MUCH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME! He has given me great wisdom, understanding, knowledge, insight, peace, joy, faithfulness, kindness... and because He has given me so much, MUCH IS DEMANDED OF ME!

Instead of pleasing man, I am here to please my Father! I am here to bless my God! He has given me so much. What I have gained, I want to use. It would be pointless to sit around and dwell on what I do not have. What I do have is greater. I have a Savior, Father, Friend, Lover, Husband, Brother! I have a God who loves me! I have a God who has given me much! Now, I must do much with what I have been given!

Let us not look to what we do not have, but instead let our focus be on what we do have! We have Him! We have much! Much is required.

"Let us be lovers who work"
