Unapologetically and Honestly Loving Others with Reckless Abandon

Today I am sharing two songs that are my heart towards God. I listen to them all the time and I love what they convey. The first is what I see myself doing A LOT and desire to change. The second is usually how I feel after I have sat in His presence and just taken Him in. The middle portion is where He does all the work. I hope this blesses you. I am being RAW and exposing a bit of what I am feeling even at this moment. I just want you to know that if you feel this way too, God is BIGGER! Thank you for letting me share my heart today, openly and honestly. "You turned water into wine - how extraordinary Gave sight to the blind - and still I carry My own load when you told me To take your yoke ‘cause yours is easy And I don't wanna box you in You've been doing big things since the world began Sometimes I just don't wanna believe That you're big enough - but you're big enough yeah! I don't wanna box you in You've been doing big things since the world began...

“I don't understand Your ways Oh but I will give You my song Give You all of my praise You hold on to all my pain With it You are pulling me closer And pulling me into Your ways Now around every corner And up every mountain I'm not looking for crowns Or the water from fountains I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing That the sight of Your face Is all that I need I will say to You It's gonna be worth it It's gonna be worth it It's gonna be worth it all I believe this It's gonna be worth it It's gonna be worth it It's gonna be worth it all I believe this You're gonna be worth it You're gonna be worth it You're gonna be worth it all I believe this You're gonna be worth it You're gonna be worth it You're gonna be worth it all I believe this “-Worth it all, Rita Springer This song says so much of my heart in it. I love her heart being so bare and raw in showing her affection for her King, and the Lover of her Soul. I love the ...

Why are we always so surprised when God answers us? Why do we think He doesn’t hear us when we ask? What lies about God have we believed to come to this conclusion? Why do we say we believe and then when talking to another believer say, “Can you believe what God did?” I ask these questions because I find it so funny. If we are TRULY walking out our faith and asking God for things, seeking his face, and knocking on doors until they open, then WHY in the world should we be SHOCKED when He answers. Now this is only my opinion but shouldn’t we EXPECT God to hear us, if we approach him with a pure heart? Shouldn’t we EXPECT that He will answer us? Shouldn’t we EXPECT that He will do exceedingly abundantly above ALL we could ask or think, according to HIS riches in Glory? Is that what your bible says? It is what mine says. SO then why in the world are we NOT using this faith to reach the lost? Why are we so surprised when things go right, and yet most of the time think automatically they wil...

So lately I have had a hard time being open to God. The possibilities He may have that I need and it may be VERY unconventional. I haven’t fallen away and I haven’t done anything wrong it has just been a season of being more focused and not as open to what He may want for my life. I feel like I have been on a journey of walking and going ahead of God at times, and I want to ask for every step to His plan. I am not a person who lives with regret. I don’t hang on to the past in some sort of way dragging all those things into my future. My mom told me along time ago that people and things happen to you, we may not ever know why, but accept them as God’s plan and learn what you need to. I have tried very hard to live that way. I think hanging on to the things from your past, doesn’t always allow your future to be as fresh and new. I know that something we can’t get away from but I do know we can, not allow it to confine us to live with that for the rest of our lives. I want to be open to c...
