Please don't be offended but...

I'm sick of you and your crazy antics, boys.

A Message To You

'I knew you before time began. I know how many hairs are on your head. Like parent, like child, you're created in My image. I have plans for you. I've also given you the gifts needed to fulfil them; and what I give, nobody can take away. But don't neglect them, excercise them and stir them up daily. Rest assured, I've started a good work in you and I'm going to finish it. I always complete what I begin. My Word concerning you is forever settled, and My committment to you is unending. In this life you will have challenges, but cheer up; I've robbed Satan of his power to control you and the world of its power to destroy you. When you're in trouble remember, I'm present to help. Give Me your burdens and I will sustain you. When you're stressed out and worn down by the pressures of life, lean on Me. I will be your rock, your fortress, your deliverer and your strength. Even though you fail from time to time, you won't be discarded because I am upholding you. But a word of caution; don't take advice from those who are spiritually blind and don't hang out with sceptics. Delight yourself in My word, and like a big oak tree growing by a river, you'll prosper in all you do.
P.S. I'd love to hear back from you.'

'And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.' (1 John 4:16)

Let's all believe this.

'You've probably heard that there is in every human heart a place that only God can fill...but there is also a chamber in God himself, which no one can enter but the one, the individual. You.
You are meant to fill a place in the heart of God no one and nothing else can fill.

You are the one that overwhelms his heart with just 'one glance of your eyes.' (Songs4:9b) You are the one he sings over with delight and longs to dance with you across mountaintops and ballroom floors (Zeph3:17). You are the one who takes his breath away by your beautiful heart that, against all odds, hopes in him.
Let that be true of you.

God wants to live this life together with you, to share in your days and decisions, your desires and disappointments. He wants intimacy with you in the midst of the madness and mundane, the meetings and memos, the laundry and lists, the carpools and conversations and projects and pains. He wants to pour his love into your heart and he longs to have you pour yours into his. He wants your deep heart, that center place within that is the truest you. He is not interested in intimacy with the woman that you think you are supposed to be. He wants intimacy with the real you.'

I hate

Low self-esteem.
I hate it.
I hate what it does to beautiful people. I hate what it does to me.
These past few days I've been having a pretty great social life, going out and kicking back and what not. But I always wake up the next day feeling so lonely and sad. I was thinking about this last night and talking to God about it, and I came to the point where I reaslied that the more I become of this world, the more I idolize and submit to what is culturally beautiful and acceptable. I needed to submit and keep in God more, and therefore keep my peace inside that I am beautiful just the way I am, that I am enough and that I have enough. I havn't been doing that lately sadly..I've been so tired that I didn't spare any time for Him. But really, what is 10 minutes out of 24 hours to just simply be still and know that God is simply and wonderfully God?
It's great to have such amazing friends. But it's also important that you and I spend time with ourselves and with God, to know where we stand with Him and what He wants us to do next. To recharge ourselves, restore ourselves, find ourselves.
I guess that's my goal for the next few weeks. Just to spend time with God more so I am not of this world, but simply in it.
