Shoulda listened to Matthew the first time...


Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:34


I really didn't want to worry about this semester, but of course it happened without my permission as it always does. I had hoped that God had given me the peace to get all His work done this semester. But of course the Father does things on His own time and definitely not mine. While I had been praying for peace and a calm disposition, He had other ideas and left me instead with a fiery passion. What is it? Well I'm still trying to figure it out actually. I feel like I should be doing something, but I can't quite grasp it. I know that the Father will show me a path soon so instead of praying for an obvious answer (which would be nice lol!), I'm going to be praying differently. I'm hoping that He'll show me
a path, any path; whether it's lit up like the 4th of July or by
candlelight. I just need a direction!

Course maybe the waiting is part of the test... well as Matthew says, "do not worry about tomorrow" cause it seems like today "has enough trouble of its own". So I'll take his advice and once again give it to the Father.


Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5

Breathing Into Me


A few weeks ago I found a new band called RED and they have quickly become a favorite. I was introduced to one of their cds by a friend of mine and fell in love with the song "Breathe into Me". Read the lyrics and let me know what you think of them! I know that they really opened up a different point of view about my life and my need for my Father in Heaven. Even if I mess up time and time again (no matter how bad it is) I know that He is there ready to breathe life back into me.
And this is how it feels when I
ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself
when I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when
I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when
it's all left up to me
Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me
And this is how it looks when I
am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart when
I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I
pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear when I
throw myself away

Daughters of the Father


Daughters of the Father are all precious in his eyes. Sometimes it seems as though all we do is work for our brothers' glory, but in essense we do so much more. God gives each and everyone one of us a need to be needed. This need to fill our hearts with something more than just ourselves... and many times we look to the men around us in order to do so. Our Father in Heaven, the King of Kings is the only one that can fill it for us. Sisters in Christ always remember look to Him in your time of weakness; for the Lover of our Hearts in more than willing to hold us until His chosen sons have grown strong. God does not want us, His daughters, to give away our hearts so quickly to men that are not worthy. He wants us to find the son He has made for us and learn from (and teach) him. So don't worry if you're lonely, instead cry out to the Father and He will hold your heart until you find the right one to give it to.

-Think on this: A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man needs to seek Him in order to find her...
