Redeemed

Poem:   Dear God, it feels like you break my heart in a whole new way every day. Seasons changing, so much changing. You are making everything new. What is my New Year's Resolution? I vow to fight through. You will bind up my broken heart and heal all my wounds-- stronger than before, more beautiful than before. I cannot do this on my own. I do not want to either. Teach me Lord how to live life fully and how to build community. Help me learn how to start over and help me to walk in joy. I want all that you have to offer. I want your presence and to enjoy you where I'm at. God, I want you as my inheritance and as my legacy. I want to fill my life with you daily. I want to be unashamed to talk about you. You are my best friend. This is normal and I am not ashamed. Let me not be ashamed of the Gospel, wherever that may lead me. Because no matter where life takes me,  I cannot be taken away from your love. Se que me amas. En tormentas y te...

Poem: Broken Heart: I never want to let you go-- in this my emotions and actions show. But when I get close to you, you repel me away. What's wrong? I want to know what's on your heart. I want to fix it, so it won't hurt anymore. But I can't be your healer or your guide. I can only hope you'll turn to the Lord, and in Him hide. Don't hide in video games or other distractions. Take your fears to the Lord. Seek Him in His Word. Be changed by His immeasurable love. I love you so much. I hope you find peace in God's arms. Keep going and growing. I wish I could watch over you as you sleep, touch your hair softly, and listen to you breathe. But that's God's job, not mine. To Him be the glory forever and ever.  Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all ...

God created the heavens and the earth!!!     In the beginning...He did it. En el precipio, Dios creo el cielo y la tierra. Genesis 1:1   He made me, He made you!   Look around and you will see.  This world filled with beauty was created for good and not for harm.  It was a beautiful present to someone very loved...us!  So rejoice, again I say rejoice!  Although we have taken our present and given it quite a bit of damage, there is still good to be found, joy, and love to be had.  Although we have committed many wrongs, the Creator of all is waiting for us with open arms to forgive us and take us back to Himself.  He has made a way to pay for all of our mistakes by sending His own Son Jesus Christ who (being an exact representation of His Father) willingly died on the cross in our place.   Remember that this Christmas season.  It's not about what we want , but about what we need !  We need a savior--look around you...

Come to the waters of everlasting life and drink! He wants to give us life abundantly, let us accept it gratefully and go after it wholeheartedly. Our hope and purpose is in you. You are so faithful God. No man can fill me. Only your comfort breaks through. Our prayers are not prayed in vain. When two or more are gathered, there you are among them. You care about my pain. Thank you that I am cared about and prayed over. Your heart breaks for mine. I am in love with you. Help me to keep my heart true to all you are and have for me. I know there is so much more to see, so much more good to be had. No words can express how high, long, deep, and wide your love is. And surely you will be with us until the end of the age. Thank you God for how good you are and that you are trading my sorrows and pain for rejoicing and new hope. I love and praise you Lord.  Amen. : D  

Poem (from like a week ago): I am free to run and free to dance. Take a chance. Be filled with His love again and again. When you are empty, give Him your ashes. He will trade them for beauy. Be refreshed by His love. It's only when I breakdown that He can break through. God makes all things new. When I realize that I can't handle it all, I give it over to God. It's a violent death to myself, but a total freedom in Him. I am free to run and free to dance. Thank you Lord for all you do for us. Thank you for your grace. I love and praise you Lord.  Amen.  

Poem:   People are just people. We get afraid of them, what they'll think and what they'll say. Don't worry about it. They'll accept you as you are... or they won't. It's their problem not yours. It's not that you aren't acceptable, it's that people aren't accepting. It's not that you're that you're not lovable enough, it's that people aren't loving enough. Your value comes from God, not man. You're wondering what they're thinking of you... don't. They're thinking about themselves, or what they have to do, or pizza or whatever. Be cool and they'll be cool... for the most part. And if they aren't, pray they have a better day. I hope the very best for you.  : ) Know that most people really do care when they know the situation and see their heart. They may not always show it, but it is implanted in us by God-- to care for each other. It is not of ourselves, it is not ...
