It has been quite awhile...

Things have been busy but good. This semester is over half way down and there still is so much to do!!! I have been overwhelmed with lots of things but really enjoying life these days.

My heart is continued to be broken for people all over the world to know His name! I just feel so passionately to tell people of His name. We have the Truth that equals freedom. Who will go? Who will make Him known? Who will tell them? Who will pray for them? Who will surrender to go wherever whenever?

Who?

We are commanded to make Him famous wherever. No Christian is exempt. You cannot be apathetic told people if you care about the glory of God.

Just some thoughts from the heart...

Chocolate Pudding...

is one of my favorite snacks or desserts! I don't know if it is because it is light and refreshing or so easy to make. Think about it...buy a pudding box at Walmart then proceed a remember to buy milk as well and mix together. Once you began stirring you see the flavor (well, chocolate come through...as if there needs to be another flavor!!!) come through and after a couple of minutes you have instant pudding.
Think about how milk and powder become something so great so quick. I wish it was this easy with my relationship with Jesus. I wish I would always mix instantly with Him and not be that stubborn milk on the side of the bowl that refuses to change. Instead I want to be right in the middle of that pudding goodness.
My life mixed with Christ is that He is the powder that changes everything. I am the milk that is changed from being in His presence. I would just be milk if not for Him. But He has made me into something greater and I am complete with Him.
Now that I have scraped the bottom of my pudding bowl, it is time to be more productive. I am thankful that with Christ I am never empty and He is everlastingly satisfying.
Submerging myself in the chocolate pudding Powder,

Something We All Need...

Silence is...
never
heard
or
experienced
anymore.
It is kinda like
a lost art.
We become
consumed with everything
going on around us
that be forget to
enjoy the moments
and be thankful.
If we are never still,
how are we expected
to hear from our Savior.
If we are too busy with "this life,"
it may just be that we miss
what He wants of us.
I never want to miss
something from the Lord...
so making a point to seek Him
in the silence
is a priority.
I am going to continue
to seek Him in the
silence and let
Him speak!

Broken, Ready and Waiting...

We are a prideful people. We do not take criticism well nor do we want people to find faults in us...let alone expose them for others to see! We are knotted up, hard, and not flexible to be changed. We get set in our ways and do not want to change.
Pride gets in the way. It eats apart our hearts and make us useless servants for the Kingdom. Pride doesn't accomplish anything, nor does it get us anywhere or change anything.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Psalm 16:8

In all honesty, we only should have pride in one thing and that is Christ.

Change My Heart
Oh God Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart
oh God
May I be like You
You are the potter I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray
Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart
oh God
May I be like You

I am broken and ready to be molded. I am clay that is ready for the Potter's hands to mold and use me in unbelievable ways. I just beg of Him to change my heart to match His heart!

Hello There!

Well, I have started a blog that is my very own! My goal for this blog is to write how I feel and how God is daily molding me and of course just to share some adventures along the way! :)

So for my first post I will tell you the 5 top reasons of being a college student:
  • #5 You can live on your own but your parents are still there to help...
  • #4 You make friends with so many people!
  • #3 You learn how hard actually being in college is! :) Then therefore, you figure out what you what to do for the rest of your life! (Totally kdding, none of us really now what we want!!)
  • #2 You get a whole three months for summer...where then you can proceed and accomplish more school or do awesome things like missions! :)
  • #1 You have to totally rely on Jesus and stay close to Him. Really is an awesome time! :)

Well that is enough for now! :) Have a wonderful Friday!
