Because of you

Because of you, I live. Because of you, I breath. Because of you, I hope. Because of you, I have purpose. Because of you, I died to me. Because of you, I face each day. Because of you, I can go through the pain. Because of you, I will remain pure. Because of you, I can say death has no grip. Because of you, I sing. Because of you, I will fight. Because of you, I will stand. Because of you, I will win. Because of you, I have been washed clean. Because of you, I have been reborn. Because of you, I will shout to all that Jesus saves! Because of you. ~Out Of His Great Love~ Rachel

Create in me a clean heart

Lord give me your eyes. Give me your ears. Give me your heart. Let me be your hands and your feet here on earth. Break my heart for what breaks yours. Take me to the places no one will go, to help the unhelpable. To touch the untouchable. I want to be more than this world. This love is crazy, I must be out of my mind, and if I am I don't want to get back in. For this is life, that we live it for the glory of Him who created life, who lived life only to have it taken from Him, but not only taken, but beaten and torn away. And so I live. For His glory, for honor, and because of His love. To live is to die to ones flesh. I have died and therefore I live

Proverbs 31:30

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."


This is one of not only my favorite verses but chapters in the bible. The reason being that it kindles my fire to be a set apart young woman.In the world it is popular these days to be an independent woman, to prove to men that we are better than them, that we don't need them. But hey guess what.... We need them!!! Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's the truth. When I look at today's "Young women" it makes me sad, because all they want is to leave there parents, to be there "own person" and not to "settle" for marriage because it would mean that they would have to settle down and be wives. And there are those who when they get married they feel like they should be the boss and not let there husbands be in charge of them, and they warn them before marriage "You wont be bossing me around" "Don't think I'll be doing all the house work you will do your far share". But the bible says,"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to there husbands in everything". I don't know about you but I think that's pretty clear. But it also goes on to say, " Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself to her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of the body. That's pretty cool! As Christ loved the church? He died for the church, a man is called to love his wife so much he would give his life for her. So the way I see it we don't loose out at all, come on! So anyway that's my Sunday ramblings I hope you could make sense of it. I just wanted to say that it's okay if we are the weaker gender. Even before we are married.

Well that's all for now.

P.s more at a later date.

2:30 am

That's what time it was when God gave me this. So I am now going to share it with you.



Never Enough,
How could I ever have enough time, enough of You? Never, there is never enough time, the right amount. Never that feeling, ahhhh no more, I am full. And if there is I have not found it, I could not even fathom that of "enough". For every moment leaves me with a yearning for more. Satisfaction will not come to my lips. For when I am with Him my world stops. No time floats by. How could it for He is time, water, sky, life. And without Him I would be no more. Though my flesh would live, breath, walk and run. I would be dead. For I live for Him, by Him, and because of His love and mercy. So you see no amount of time could ever satisfy me. For it will never be enough.

So that's what I wrote at 2:30 am

2011

Another year. Saying goodbye to the old and bringing in the new. Last year was an amazing, so much love and family, Friends, sleepovers, beautiful music, meeting new and amazing people, talking about marriage at 2 am with my cousin, baptism in the holy spirit, finishing the new testament, saying goodbye to my lovely cousins aunt and uncle that I love so much, a new baby in the family, cooking yummy foods, camping out at grandmas while mom was in the hospital and being so happy when she was better, starting a new class, finding a new love for writing, getting a blog, seeing old Friends, watching two of my cousins find a special someone, and watching one of those someones become a faience, weddings, the pure joy and peace of my Lord, and so much more.

As I look forward to the new year I see the opportunity to do so much more than this year. More time to grow closer to Jesus my Lord. And the unknown, which can be scary but I have peace in knowing that as long as I follow His divine plan all will be as it should.

I pray that this new year brings so much love, joy, peace, and so much more.

9 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it's down to 9 days away? My excitement is rising higher and higher! But I some times wonder if my excitement is for presents and food and family or if it's for what it should be, a time to celebrate the wonder of my Lord Jesus' birth. Do you ever wonder that? Well I am trying to make sure that it is set on just that! So even if the stress of shopping or cooking or anything else, keep focused on what CHRISTmas is really for!

The first snow!

The first snow has fallen, it's Finlay here! Oh how the beauty shows all around me! A few day's ago we got the first real snow! I love it! I wait for this every year, when my chilly world becomes a winter wonder land. Today I had the aaaaaaaaa privilege :) of walking a mile in a field bio class in the snow and cold and marvel at His beauty! Nature is one my favorite things that God has given us. It inspires me to write and to pray. So weather you have snow where you are or not, stop, look around, and enjoy the gifts he has given us!
