Are you ready for Him?

God is good.

It is incredible how it feels to be somewhat in tuned with the Lord. I see all the possibilities the Lord has given me in my life and I am excited to fulfill them!

In a days amount of time I have gone from feeling so lost, so broken, so detached from the Lord, to feeling found, loved, helped, and helping others in return. It is hard to decide which is a bigger blessing, God showing me what my life life is capable of amounting to, or God allowing me to help others see that for themselves. I have always had a heart to love and care, but the love I had for people and the care I had for people has tripled! I love even more how God has made me to love then I ever have before. In return, I leave myself to get hurt. these past few days I have cried more for those around me then I ever have. God sees these tears, and because of them mountains will be moved. I have to remember that these burdens are not mine to carry, they belong to God. God takes the hurt, he picks me up and carries me until I am strong again.

It is wonderful to see that the more I choose to do the right thing, the easier it gets. I am not stupidly saying I do not sin, we all have a sin nature. To understand the capacity of how much God loves us and how much he wants us to choose his way instead of our own is a goal worth fighting for! It is also a goal that seems so far out of reach. I feel God's love so powerfully, yet I have barely scratched the surface of it.

As I walk through the day I keep finding things about myself that I want to change. I wish I could be perfect, but my sin nature leads me to the opposite direction.

The most brilliant thing about God is that he does not ask us to be perfect. He asks us to put forth effort, but he would never expect us to do it alone. My brother once told me that we, as human beings, are so weak we are incapable of loving God without God's help. He understands how weak we are and is ready to help us at a moments notice. He is standing, arms wide open waiting; I have accepted this salvation, this love, this grace, this blessing, this everything that God is offering and he is waiting for us all to do the same. His invitation is open until the day you die.

Choose God, not the world. It will be worth it all!

Today Was Today

Hello everyone! :)


Today I sat and read To Kill a Mockingbird. I am almost finished with it! Though the fact that I should of had it finished last week probably shouldn't make me excited that I am just now getting to the last few chapters.  The only reason I did not finish it days ago is because it is so wonderful that I want to savor every last minute of it. Things such as books and movies are almost always much more enjoyable the first time you read or watch them. But if this book is this good the first time I have no doubt it will be any less incredible the second time around.


I am always a fan of finding the beautiful things in life, even when you are in the worst situations. I was having trouble finding the beautiful moments in life today. To Kill a Mockingbird made my day turn around in an instant. If you have never read To Kill a Mockingbird I would recommend it to anyone.


This book is not the only thing that turned my day around; God is good and comforts you even when it seems so unimportant which is exactly what he did today. Even the smallest prayer requests he listens to. I prayed so hard for snow this past fall and guess what has been happening in Texas this winter. Its been snowing! God is will never fail to surprise you.
