Emotions

Emotions

You have that wall up,
You are trying to tear down!
Each layer is hard,
Sometimes it keeps you bound!

Your life is changing!
You are beginning to feel!
You must keep going!
You must continue to heal!

The emotions are very strong!
They can sometimes overwhelm!
You just need to sort them,
And slowly let each be found!

It's a "GLAD" Day!

      I am trying to stick with a new motto in life! I am waking up each day saying this is going to be a "Glad" day! There is always something in each day to be "Glad" about! Even the little things in life can make you "Glad"! I know that with God by my side it will be possible to always find the "Glad" in each day! I must trust and cling to Him and Him alone! He wants us to be "Glad" always! He loves us very much!

      But even with that said I know there will be some days that will be harder than others! Having Jesus as my Savior should be enough to remain "Glad", but that is not always the case! Sometimes things in life happen! The things we have no control over! Then there are things that control us and it changes our outlook! These things can make us sad, mad or upset! Yet even with these things happening in life we can always turn it around with God as our strength! We must always cling to God and He will keep us "Glad"!

      Psalm 118:24  This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be "Glad" in it!

Feeling Unwanted!

      I struggle with "life" almost daily! But one thing is for sure my life would be unbearable if I did not have Jesus as my Savior! I must constantly remind myself that He will never leave me nor forsake me! I have those moments of feeling so unwanted! I know this is a lie, but sometimes I just don't fight if off in Jesus' name like I should! I let it control my thoughts until I feel out of control! I do know that what you let control your thoughts can consume your life! If we all keep our eyes and thoughts on Jesus, He will consume our life!

      Even with all this I know that not all will want me in their life! But I know for certain that Jesus will always want me! He Loves me forever and always! And I know He wants you too! He Loves all of us! He is waiting for you to come to Him so He can be your Savior for your own life! He loves us so much that He died for all of our sins!

      John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!

Far From Perfect!

     If one can have "human" moments that would be me. You know those moments where you do, say, watch or think something that you really shouldn't. Yes, those moments! But I am human and as much as I do not want to, I will have "human" moments for as long as I am on this earth!

     One thing is for certain though that no matter how "human" I can be God always forgives me and loves me so very much! He will love me while others will not! He will stay beside me while others walk away! I am thankful that I have someone that will love me that much that He would never leave nor forsake me! I may not be perfect, but I am a sinner saved by Perfect Grace! His Love for you and me is just amazing, more than we can even imagine.

      I must let Jesus be what consumes my thoughts, so that He can remain control of my life. He is my Savior. I must keep Jesus first so that my "human" moments will become less and less in my life! I must pray and read the Bible more! I know I need to be more Christ-like and less "human"!

      James 1:19-20 says, "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires". 

Finding Happiness!

"True Happiness"

Can anyone hear her cry?
Does anyone see her pain?
Her life is all torn,
Her life gives her shame.

Those around her cannot see,
Because she hides behind her fake smile.
She pushes herself too hard.
She keeps thinking I must go just one more mile.

She then finds intervention,
Just as she is falling apart.
She finds Jesus as her Savior.
She asks Him to come into her heart.

Her life is now changed,
Her smile does not hide tears.
She is happy with Jesus,
With Him she has no fears.

She is shining so brightly.
She works hard to be a witness.
She prays for others daily,
So they too can find Jesus.

Life may not always be perfect, but with Jesus it makes life easier!!

Sometimes it is just hard!!

     Everyone has bad days, even me! When I have these days I try very hard to just cling to Jesus! He is all I have that can comfort me during these kinds of days! I call them my "Bring your makeup to work because you are filling up the bottle with tears that Jesus catches day"! It is the type of day where you just want Jesus to hold you and dry your tears! Where you also want to be with some of your best friends that know you the most!

     Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit!" Because "weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning!"

     It is the kind of day that you really are not sure why you are crying or why you feel like you do! But Jesus is there the whole time and you just need to listen closely! This is when Jesus is carrying you through the day because you are at your weakest! "I am weak, but He is strong!"

WHY??

   WHY!?


I like it here with you,
Inside this place.
I can hear your laughter,
Though yet, I cannot see your face.

I am glad God chose me,
To be with you.
I hope that you will love me,
Because I already know that, I love you.

I do not understand it,
What is this pain I feel?
It really hurts me mommy.
Can this pain be real?

I wanted to grow up with you,
And be your new found friend.
But that will not happen now,
Because you made my life end.

Not Without My Jesus!!

      
      Just when I think I can do this, that is when it all comes apart! Because I, by myself cannot do this! I must have Jesus beside me the whole way and carrying me when I cannot walk! Also as I think I can do this it is as if I have tripped, fallen down a huge flight of stairs and hit my head on a brick wall!  Yes, that may seem a bit much, but it is how it is for me! I have decided that everyday must entirely consist of Jesus being first! First One to talk to in the morning as I wake! First One to help me make decisions throughout the day! And first One to pray and talk to before I close my eyes to head to Dreamland! It is also important for me to have my quiet time with Jesus, so He can talk to me and lead me in the right direction of my life! To be totally honest, this has taken a long, long, long time to realize this! I know I will stumble and fall, but with Jesus it will be easier to get back up! I want Jesus to keep moving me in the right direction of my life for Him! Without Him I could do nothing! Keeping Jesus first is what we all need, especially me!
       

      My verse for you today is Psalm 19:4, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer."

Scared out of my mind!

      Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

      This verse has been said to me over and over again lately! It is the beginning of a new journey for my life! A new chapter in my own story! I am getting out of my comfort zone to be obedient to God and it scares me! Yes, I am scared, but I will continue to move forward. I will keep pushing with God taking the lead! I will go when He says go! If He says go right I am going right! If He says go left, yes I am going left! This is very scary because I have always hovered inside my comfort zone for years and years! In the past, if I began to get scared I would close up in my shell and not come out until all was calm again! No more, I want to live for God, to do His will not mine! When you get scared, do it anyway because that is obedience to God! This is when you grow in the Lord the most! Even doing this blog is out of my comfort zone, but the more I do it the more I feel God is helping me in life! He is seeing that I want to obey Him more and not hide away.

      So I hope I can encourage you to listen to God! He is the only one that can make you free of fear! The more you jump into obeying God the more He will help you conquer! God is everything you need! He is always there when no one else is! He is beginning to turn my own mess into a message! I will praise Him in every storm! I will praise Him always!

It is just AMAZING!

Some things happen to us that are just horrible! Just so bad that we cannot understand why it happens! Some people it really takes a toll on them and they feel they just cannot move on! They close up! They hide and then become numb of their emotions! They become depressed and their life is just a blur! It is as if they are just floating through life like a ghost! As if they just barely exist! This type of life can cause confusion and a path of sin, but that can be changed instantly!

There is a need of something to help them!

What is really needed is SOMEONE! JESUS!

He can totally fix things if you will let Him! Believe me I know! As the beautiful verse of Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." This one verse alone shows we can go to Him to give us strength for any type of bad that happens to us!

There are so many wonderful verses that can help you realize how much God loves you and wants you to be with Him! He can take away any hurt you have and heal you! He can hold you in His arms and comfort you! If you let Him, He will be with you forever! John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Eternal Friend

Eternal Friend!!

A Friend of mine,
Is always there.
You will never face,
Anything alone to bear.

I praise His name.
Joy just fills my soul.
I am His clay,
I am His to mold.

I give Him my life,
I want to do His will.
I pray and pray,
His Love I do feel.

I have the Holy Spirit,
Helps me with wrong from right.
I pray for the love,
And to show my shining light.
