I will find this.
So this semester wasn’t what i expected…
I only shared Jesus with like 3 people and i’ll be lucky if I pass half of my classes. To say that is was miserable and useless would be a horrible lie. It was beautiful now that I look back. I laugh sometimes at how well my loving Father in heaven knows me. He knows exactly how i learn lessons and He has the patience to teach them to me, so that i learn them once and dont need to learn again for a long long time. He’s loving. He’s gracious. He’s merciful- He’s my everything.
He has a purpose for every lesson i learn. The lessons that He takes His time to teach me(which is EVERY lesson) are lessons that magnify His mercy, grace, forgiveness, promise-keeping, and most of all, His LOVE. He has taught me that every time i fail it is because i lacked faith or i was self-relient or fell into sin. He has taught me that with faith i can accomplish anything He lays infront of me. He taught me that if i rely on Him, all things are possible. He is everything. He is in every part of my day, the good parts, the bad parts, the happy parts, and the sad parts. He is everything and He is my everything.
I didn’t know that i could fall more in love with my Heavenly Father, more in love with Jesus….but every day as i journey through the Bible, and as I see those Bible stories come to life i fall harder. I am reading through the Gospels again and my understanding of the Gospel of Jesus is deepening-becoming richer and more beautiful. My body crumbles before my Savior as I thank and pray and praise. He is good. I want the world to know this.
He must become greater; I must become less. (John 3:30)
oh, you want me to take you home with me and name you a precious name and ride you to work everyday when you get big? sure, okay!

He is bigger than our minds can even begin to imagine. The only words that can describe Him are perfect, infinite, boundless, immeasurable! And we cant even properly fathom what those actually mean because He is beyond our understanding!! and i love Him <3
i love Him i love Him i love Him!!
My first semester of college was cool. Got a B average which I would say is pretty good! One thing I hated about college was how scared I got to tell people about Jesus…
I am in love with Jesus…I say that but I wonder to myself “if you love Him so much then why don’t you live like it?”
Some people might argue that I do act like I love God(because I do) but if I did as much as I claim to then wouldn’t He be radiating from me? Wouldn’t He be the first thing I talked about…even to strangers?
I feel like for the past 4 months I have severely neglected my life’s purpose on this Earth. What is my life’s purpose? It is to love and be loved by God and to love others. When I say love…I mean God sending His son Jesus to die on the cross for the world love. True love, real love.
So what’s my problem?
I’m not sure…
I am convinced that God has been preparing me and teaching me, and most importantly He has relit my heart for His Gospel. I don’t want to steal another day from God by not doing what He put me here to do.
Thank you Lord for showing me my heart; please make it pure and fill it with your Holy Spirit. Light it on fire for You and Your kingdom every day you bless me with. Thank you for your Love. Please show me how to love others as you have loved me.
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
i pretty much want to scream at how awful my life is in this particular moment.
really nothing is circumstantially wrong(so i guess it could be worse) but let me just be a baby and whine for a minute.
i’m in such a dry place with God…i feel like He cant hear me….and i even feel like He doesn’t want to hear me. My busy schedule has kept me from devoting any substantial time with Him :( therefore now i’m just far away, and i feel like i’m stuck here and cant get back. I feel frozen in this dry place without any Living Water to drink. All i can pray is “bring me back to you” and all i can seem to read is Psalm 51….
no….i havent gone off the deep end and rebelled, but at the same time i have. I havent rebelled in my ways and started doing bad things, but i think forgetting to spend time with Jesus and not making any time to spend with Him when you remember is the worst kind of sin…
God commands us to love Him with all of our heart, all of our mind, all of our soul, and all of our strength. that is the first and greatest commandment.
sadly…me not treating Him as the great and wonderful God He is, is NOT loving Him the way He asks me to. so i have sinned. and big. and i just want back with my Jesus. i just want to be with Him…
God has blessed me with amazing things and surrounded me with incredible people, but my life is so empty if i don’t spend every day walking hand in hand with Jesus. Maybe that’s what He’s showing me.
I’m not of this world….so nothing here satisfies me. but while i’m here i’m called to love God and His people…and to be loved by Him.
i just want to be back with Jesus.
to express the way i feel. screams might do the trick.
my heart is exploding with excitement. i used to feel lonely in my little bubble of joy, but now i feel fine. i’m finally okay with the fact that my life is different from everyone else’s and guess what….it’s supposed to be that way! news flash to me.
i just have so much that lays ahead of me, but at the same time, God could call me home in any second. I’m learning to plan and say “according to God’s will” or “if God desires” because sometimes me and Him are on different schedules, but He keeps me close and is teaching me that every moment relies on His plan and timing.
i’m at the point where i can honestly, 100% say that if i had nothing but my Bible and Him…i would be perfectly content. I pray other things away because they may distract me from Him.
to everyone who doesn’t know. I am absolutely head over heels in love with Jesus. I want to love Him more. By falling in love with Him (which requires much grace from God) you enter into the most dynamic, and overwhelming relationship of your life. It’s not about following rules or reading the Bible out of obligation; it’s about being in love.
what do you do when you love someone? you pursue them, you spend time with them, and you do things that they ask.
all God asks of His children is that they love His son, Jesus. After He has your heart (and you might not even realize when He does) but after that point…you’re all His.
my life consists of Jesus<3, school, work, my wonderful Joey, friends, and DIY. that’s it. the end.
GOD iS, AS ALWAYS, GOOD.
AND i LOVE HiM MORE EVERYDAY.
HE’S MY BEST FRiEND, AND MY TRUE LOVE.
HE’S THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTiON & i CAN’T
WAiT UNTiL THE DAY i GET TO SEE HiM IN REAL LiFE,
BUT FOR NOW…SERViNG HiM iS SATiSFYiNG. THE END.
