Me and Jesus

"Someone loves you
Even when you don't think so
Don't you know
You got me and Jesus
By your side
Through the fight
You will never be alone
On your own
You got me and Jesus"

Thank you to Stellar Kart for the lyrics from their song "Me and Jesus" and to www.lostseed.com for the picture.

The Effects Of Jesus Camp

While I was a Jesus Camp, so many good things happened. It was so powerful that I am still being effected by it almost two months later. I always seem to be reminded of a little piece of it just when I need it most. God is good like that. Just recently I was reminded of a little bit of wisdom that was shown to me while at Jesus Camp. This little bit of wisdom was; “the only limits on God are the ones we self impose”. God reminded me of this when I was praying about school. First off let me say I have a terrible tendency to want to plan out my life by myself. My mind gives itself a workout by trying to make sure everything is in line and will happen according to my plan. The worst thing about it is that I try to make the plan of my life seem like a movie. The more I think about it, the more I realize how absurd it is for me to try to model my life after various movies I've seen. Anyhow that is beside the point. When God reminded me of that the only limits on Him are the ones that I self imposed, I was praying about the upcoming school year. As I was doing so my mind wandered a little bit to what will happen over the upcoming year, including what troubles and joys I will experience and what college I will end up at. Then that little bit of wisdom popped into my head. I realized that all my planning is not fulfilling. In the end I become disappointed because my plans never work. This is when I realized that my planning was limiting God’s power in my life. How can God show me His power if I am wanting my plan and not His? At this point I knelt to the ground and turned the plans I had made over to Him. I know that he will take good care of me and with the God of all writing the story of my life, I can’t go wrong. I look forward to what wonderful plans God will unfurl before me. After all I would rather have God, who is always there for me and you, planning my life. In the end, what it comes down to is that we have the power over God. Let Him into your life and break Him free of those limitations and He will blow your mind. God bless! :-)

Wow, It's Just About All I Can Say

I don't know how my Mom found this specific video online but I am sure glad she did. I love this song and I think this video wonderfully portrays the power of God. I get goosebumps and teary eyed watching it. All I can say is wow. I highly recommend taking a gander at it. God bless you and all who you hold dear to your heart.

He Reveals His Love

School has started and the summer pace of life has quickly increased. Amidst all the stress, hectic schedules, and lack of sleep I have come to realize that God is closer to me than I think. I used to have the idea that God was some nice guy who sat up in Heaven waiting for people to talk to Him and if you wanted something then "POOF", He could make it appear. I thought He was there but did not play a role in the daily events of life. Over the past year my belief in this has changed. I now realize that God cares for each and every one of us, and not from a distance, but right from our hearts. For me, God has shown His love through the simplest things. He always seems to know how to put a smile on my face. Sometimes when I am having a difficult morning I will wake up to the sky painted pink. Pink is my favorite color, and just being able to see that God took the time to think of me makes me bubble over with joy. God truly isn't far away, rather He is right here with us. If He can paint the sky pink for me, imagine what He can do for you. Keep your eyes open and you will begin to see the many ways He reveals His love to you. God Bless! :-)
