Salvation

I'm falling.
I've hit the ground.
I just need to turn it all around.
Close my eyes,
Trust the Light.
I'm following,
Knees on the ground.
You help me turn my life around.
One direction,
I might fall once or twice.
But on the ground,
You'll find me there.
You're the Light.
I'll follow Your way.
Thank You.

Praise God. :)
Isaiah 25:9 <3

I Could Have Been One of Them; You are Holy.

Sometimes I try to imagine what it was like way back when.
I close my eyes and think about the way it was.
I see You around, and I don't know what to think.
They spit on You when You're on Your knees.
Suddenly, I am so sick.
My life is so sick.
They say Your name..
Telling me You can heal,
But I don't know.
They always gather around; surrounding mere fishing boats.
I gain some faith.
I just need to touch Your robe.
You'll heal me, I know.
I turn around..
My hands are stained by Christian blood.
I'm moving with the benefit of my own gain.
You find me.
Drop it all and follow Me, You say.
I do.
I trust You.
Part of the crowd, we're all surrounding You now.
You speak of seeds and farmers.
But what about God!
So now You've found me.
I am following You.
You tell me You must leave.
Why must You leave?
I'm following YOU!
But You'll return and be new.
I don't understand, but I trust.
Next thing you know, they hand me the money
I give them Your very own name.
You promised You'd leave me,
They promised wealth..
I gave in.
I led them up the hill.
Kissing Your cheek, I watch them arrest You
They take You away.
I taste the bread of Your body lingering on the edge of my tongue,
With the wine of Your blood.
I swore to You I'd stay with You until the end..
But the rooster crowed, and I lost my way.
It was me who spit on You as You dragged the wooden cross
On Your bare back.
Standing there, I found it to be my own voice shouting
'Crucify Him'.
And so they did.
But You rose.
Looking above my roman uniform, I finally recognized You, the Son.
I'm Mary.
Weeping for my Son.
The words stumble out of my mouth as I plead to
Properly bury You.
My Joseph hands carefully wrap Your earthly body.
It's Sunday, and You have risen.
I don't recognize You as You come back.
I fall to my knees at Your name, and I see Your face.
Now I'm imprisoned; writing so many letters.
You've called me to be here, to do this.
Defying the Roman rule.
I'm dreaming of the end.
White robes, trumpets, beasts, salvation.
I close my eyes. I see Your face. You hold my hand, and You take my apologies. You replace the sin with Grace. I give You my heart, and You take me home.♥

God Bless. :) 
Psalm 42:2 

Revival..

When all else fails.. there's still God.

Cliche to say this? Maybe. But I believe it wholeheartedly. I know that I still have such a long way to go on my journey of life. There are a lot of things God still has for me that I have yet to meet. 

It hit me today as I was driving to school. A realization I've had a few times before. I was taking in all of the elements of the beautiful morning as I drove past people, places, and other fellow drivers. I realized that today is truly its own. Tomorrow will be much different, and the proceeding as well. It made me wonder how many times I simply let a day pass me by. God made each day unique.. Every day has a new purpose. This realization was not a sorrowful one, but instead a very insightful epiphany. 

We have the power to make an impression on the lives of people around us. God has given us the gift of speech.. of writing. There are so many outlets to which we can express the love of God. I was made to love in this day, for this day, and by this day. I'm embracing the gifts I have been given, and praising the Lord our God that there are so many positive things in this life. Times may be hard, and God knows we will struggle. There will be wars, political disputes, natural disasters, unexplained and undeserved murders, and so so many unkind actions. A lot of things don't make sense to us.. We progress through each day, and after something tragic occurs, we learn to pick ourselves up and let the wound scab over. But deep down, there's always a hole in our hearts full of spite for or against someone or something. Once we find God...... When we seek Him.... Can you even explain it to another person? The fire? The second you find yourself on your knees admitting everything you've never been able to accomplish. The lowest of lows. The top of humiliation. The moment you hate your heart, the words you've spoken, the mistakes you made. And suddenly, in the midst of the heavy storm of your absolute hopelessness, a wave of peace finds you. It's like you don't want to speak to anyone, because you feel so naive and peaceful. You just feel it. You understand; you realize how you've been forgiven. It's an immense relief, knowing what grace is.. I hope every person can experience this. God draws near to us, especially when we lose the motivation to move on a little further. 

So here we are, in this day.. This day we might unconsciously take for granted. Here we are, with a purpose burning in our hearts. Today is the day. God is moving. Revival is beginning. Praise our God on high for being everything we will never be. Holy is the Lord who has redeemed our lives; who gives us new lives, solely in the name of Love. 

God Bless. :) 

2John1:6

I'm Missing Something..

Moving around each day. Life moves on pretty fast.
We pass a lot of faces, everyday.
One person after another.
Disregard, we've all got somewhere we're going.
We're all going, somewhere.
Somewhere, each face is a person.
I did not mean to disregard,
I only intended to reach the place in which I
Was going.
Somewhere.
I passed a lot of faces, today.
There wasn't much to say.
We all moved in one swift motion,
Passing each other by.
One face; Amazing Grace.
Did I recognize?
Or simply pass it by?
It was not my intention to disregard.
I'm only trying to make it, somewhere.
Moving around everyday.
Somewhere is coming fast.
We're all going,
But some of us are a little unaware.
With good intention, I'll take in the details
Of every passing face.
Because of Amazing grace,
We're all connected by heart.
We're all marching on,
To somewhere. <3


God Bless! :)

Who Am I?

It's a question that's been circling around in my head lately.. Who am I? It's one of those questions that go deeper than mere surface-level answers.. Sometimes I find that I don't ask myself this question enough..
So who am I? When asked this question, I created a small list of the person I believed myself to be.
I am a student. Unorganized, a procrastinator, and very precise. I am a lover of music, and the spring. I love blue, and to spend time with my friends..

I could go on.. I could. But at the end of this list, I've realized I've given no inclination of the person I am.. Because I am not my own. Who am I? Does it truly matter? I am part of a bigger picture. I am a branch on a tree that grows more everyday. It might sound so cliche.. But this is who I am. I am a broken girl. A sinner, who falls short.. A lot. I am a daughter of God. A person who loves people.. Most of the time. I make a lot of mistakes. I've said things I wish I could take back.

Who am I to God? I am His child. I am a person who for some reason, He sees some amount of significance in. He sent His only Son to die for me.. for my mistakes, for my flaws; my sins. I am so grateful to Him. I pray that the Lord will open my eyes to see the world the way that He does. To love the way He does. Because in the end, it doesn't really matter who it is that I am. It only matters who He is, and that I accept the fact that He can do so many better things with my life than I can.

Thank you, Lord.

The Good News

>You know the truth.. so now act on it!
["Changing direction in life is not tragic.. Losing passion is."]- Max Lucado
  You know the Truth:

• Don't be selfish with God's Word. Let it spread like a wild-fire, consuming anything and everything in its path. Keep the flame burning.
• Isaiah 42:20- You see and recognize what is right, but you refuse to act on it. You hear with your ears, but you don't really listen.
• God knows you. He has a time for you, and a purpose. God wants you to seek Him. He wants you to deliver His Word to those who need it. Very seldom does God ask you to do this solely with words. In fact, He never asked you to say anything. God's strengthening you to complete His Will. Do not resist. You've already been saved. You cannot lose the Salvation already given to you through Christ.
• Exodus 18:19- Now listen to me, and let me give you a word of advice, and may God be with you. You should continue to be the people's representation before God, bringing their disputes to Him.

(You know the power and the joy of God's amazing Grace.. Don't you want others to find it; to feel it?)

• Pray to the Lord. He's given you your own unique way to spread His Word. Listen for Him, and He will speak to you.
• Joshua 5:14- I am the commander of the Lord's army.. I am at your control, what do you want your servant to do?
• You've been equipped by God for a purpose. He's given you initiative. He's led you along the way. He remains always. Now all you have to do is take it in. Accept it, live for it, and let Him in. He will never fail you.. Ever. Let go of your life; hold on to Him.
• Romans 9:11-12- But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses his people according to his own purposes; he calls people, but not according to their good or bad work.)

God's set you apart as something special.. He has a plan for you. Now all you have to do is trust Him.. Are you ready?

Christianity (:

Christianity is a lot like a tree. We, as Christians, are the branches. We're all stretched out trying to touch the sky. Much like branches on a tree, each of our lives correlate and touch with those of others. The way that we move and the path that we choose to take affects others on the same branch as us. We're all reaching out because all that we want is to truly touch the sky. What I believe is that because of Grace, we don't have to worry about reaching the sky. The sky is reaching out closer and closer to touch us. We don't realize that God's made everything work so that our branches can each group separately together. And if God is the trunk, the stable foundation holding us up from below and the sky, pulling us up so that we can stand tall without hesitation, what could ever be against? With God, we can do all things. He is our fortress, He is our heart, He is our Savior. We need to focus our eyes on Him and seek His will in all that we do.

God is good all the time and all the time, God is good.

He's speaking, you've just got to be listening. <3
