Pieces of my heart


I was just reading an earlier post of mine and I realized something. The pieces of my heart that I have been waiting for to return. They are back and in human form. There have been alot I have been praying about and I realized that they are up walking around in the flesh. I get to interact with them everyday and I get to love on them when they are close. I get to experience life with them and explore new things. I love it and I feel like me but better again. I know that day by day things change and feelings go up and down for most of us. But I have chosen not to live off of what I feel and to accept that what God has for me is bigger than how I feel. I am in the process of learning how to let my emotions, my logic, my wisdom, and my heart all line up together. I am the type of person that would love to set aside my emotions so that others will be ok. I would rather not have to feel things and just do them because it is my responsibility. I know that isn't how God made us but to me it seems so much easier. I have learned that giving into my feelings at times is just a cop out. Now that I am more mature in Christ I realize that these are his ways of letting us know that we care for others and that we feel. I am grateful that I can learn how to tame them but I am also grateful that the pieces of my heart have finally returned. I love you and want you to know that I am praying for you every step of this journey. We are in it together and I will always be here for you!!! I am glad I feel and I am privileged to love you!!!! Thank you for letting me!

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be,

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction.
