Wow.

Wow. Yeah, wow...
GOD is just SO amazing and I've had a great conversation with a sister of mine. Sometimes, I feel like no one understands what I'm going through (don't we all?) And then, GOD reminds me that He places certain people in your life for a reason. They are all a part of His plan.

Love you, Kimberly!

This post may appear scatterbrained, but I just wanted to make sure that I remember the day we had this conversation, and to remember that she believes in me and what GOD has shown me. For certain reasons, I'm going to keep the conversation we had private for now. But trust me, one day I'll share :))

I find my life when I give it away...

I always wanted to be free
‘Til I was bound and then
I always wanted my own way
‘Til I saw that I find my life when
I lose it
You make me come alive
You make me come alive
I found the secret
It’s only when I let go of what I want in this life
You make me come alive
I used to think that me, myself and I were all that mattered
But You’ve shown me all this world can give
Cannot compare to the joy that comes from
Giving away
And as I follow after You
Now I need to
Leave my past, myself behind
This I will do
I always wanted to be free
‘Til I was bound and then
I always wanted my own way
‘Til I saw You
‘Til I saw You

The End of Me

"All the times that I’ve failed, when my doubt has prevailed, these are the moments I’m giving to you. Cause I can’t be ashamed, no I can’t fear the pain when it comes time to be living proof. So the world may see that the captives are free. You have been Heaven sent to us. I'll be fearless for You!" -- Building 429 "Fearless"

"I was the one to call the shots, dream-eyed dreams, heart and soul - answered only to myself. Never giving up control. Until the one day that brought me to my knees, and I would never be the same. Once upon a time the story goes, I laid it all down and let it go to lose it all. Took a step of faith and said goodbye, and everything I had I left behind to find true life.When all I longed for I found finally at the end of me. And like an answer to a prayer, Jesus you were there, calling me to live, to die, to give, to gain. And I'll never be the same..."--- Building 429 "End of Me"

Last night as I lay in my bed, trying to drift off to sleep, I realized (while listening to my Zune) that in order for GOD to use me, I MUST give everything over to Him. Sure, I may have dreams, I may have a plan. BUT, He knows what is best for me. And if those dreams are of Him, then they will come to fruition. It will happen. I want to be a writer, I want to teach. BUT, right now I feel an overwhelming desire to give everything over to Him. EVERYTHING. I don't know what is going to happen this summer (I'll explain in detail in a later post), but I do know that GOD is going to be at the center of it, not me. Not anymore. I'm tired of giving in to me, to my fears, to my what-ifs and hows.

Jesus, I pray that as I humble myself before You that this overwhelming desire to know more of You will be given to me. For you said, seek and I shall find.

the orphan...

It breaks my heart to think these two little ones may not even have arms to wrap around them at night and tell them that they love them and they are special.

My faith in what GOD can do is going to get me there...
