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...

I have someone who is the cause of some of my greatest victories, she was there cheering me on. She is the one person that I could allow to see me in ANY situation. She is the one person I can share EVERYTHING with and not think twice about it. She is the one person that never judged me for my most EMBARASSING choices, who ALWAYS told me the truth and protected me at all costs. She is selfless and caring. I delight in her friendship and I KNOW that no matter what I was doing or going though, She would protect me and be loyal to the end. Even if it meant destroying EVERYTHING else in her life. She was the person who saw me through every small and big event over the past 10 years and whether victory or defeat, she is and will always be in my corner. God has done a lot in our lives over the past 10 years. I met her at church and we began to build a friendship on God, sort of, at least it started that way. We were both walking through some really hard times and I knew that no matter what, ...

"I am broken, I am bleeding, I'm scared and I'm confused, but You are faithful. Yes You are faithful. I am weary, unbelieving. God please help my unbelief! Cuz You are faithful. Yes You are faithful. I will proclaim it to the world. I will declare it to my heart And sing it when the sun is shining. I will scream it in the dark. You are faithful! You are faithful! When you give and when You take away, even then still Your name is faithful! You are faithful! And with everything inside of me, I am choosing to believe You are faithful. I am waiting for the rescue that I know is sure to come, cuz You are faithful. Yes You are faithful. I've dropped anchor in Your promises, and I am holding on, cuz You are faithful.
