Before I  could even breath I there was a plan for my life; where I would live, what I would like, what I would be taught. But as I grew older and I figured out that God had a plan for me and I decided that my plan would be better.

I am going to use our life plans as a paintings. Now as I used crayons to create my life plan and God waited at his station for me to realize the truth. When I finally got there I showed God my picture that looked like a 3 year old just got bored. One of the main problems is that before I went to God I showed and flaunted my painting to the world. They approved and glorified me for giving my best effort. So when I came to God all I wanted was more praise but God had so much more in store of my painting.

When I decided to give it up to him his Son Jesus Christ  came and made all of my scribble disappear. In awe I finally realized that what I had to offer was not that beautiful. As I went afterward into my life, I began to let God show me just what he wanted my painting to look like. He used much more powerful and exuberant instruments. His instruments in real life is the word of God, this is the most powerful instrument you could ever use in this life time.

His picture began to take my breath away. He used colors I had never seen before, since I only used the generic box of crayons. He blends the colors so easily and this is where I came in. As in my spiritual man I begin to have more hunger for him, I also become stronger in his word and also could hear his voice clearer. As I walk into everyday I pray for him to show me exactly what we are going to add to the picture that day. I trust him because my painting and his painting don’t even look a thing a same. His painting is far more powerful and easier to understand, since in the world we just go on everyday. God has a plan and there is a new beginning for everyday.

Dear God,

I know I have been wrong,made excuses and avoided the truth. I have came to apologize for my mistakes and wrong hearted wants. I have only dreamed dreams that were of my flesh. I know my assignment but yet I still avoid your love as a vessel of the kingdom. As royalty I have failed to take on my responsibilities. You still love and you still gave even I have failed you. I bring to you my surrender and whole heart. I try and will give my selfish, unneeded, irresponsible thoughts and desires. I ask and pray for a new beginning in your blood once again. As my best friend and Savior I need you for the ups and downs. The creator and sacrifice of and for me, I need you. That is all I have to say; I need you, I need you and I want you.

Love your bride,

So for a while now I have not known what i was going to do when i got older but yesterday the heavenly father told me. One of my friends asked me once what I would gong to if I had a million dollars. I really didn’t have an answer but then I thought of a good one. I told her that I was going to buy a mansion and put a lot of foster kids/orphans in it. So yesterday I was sitting at my pool sticking my feet in the water when I thought about it and God told me that was what  am supposed to do. He told me that while I am a teenager I am going to raise all the money for it. But for now God told me I am supposed to sit in his peace and grace.

Well as back ground imformation when I became closer to Christ he told me that I was going to do something very important as a teenager that took a lot of strength and obedience. Well now I know what I am supposed to as a teenager. This is my mission in my life.

God gives you the strength to do anything.

I ask you to pray for me to be able to raise this money when God tells me to start.

Does everyone have that person in there lives that you love but aren’t Christians? Well you see my best friend is crazy and I love her but doesn’t understand the things I follow. I pray for her like crazy but it seems like it doesnt work. I try hard to change it but God reminds me that it is in his time. She wants me to be okay with being a worldly but I just cant, but I am just never going to be okay with being half and half.  We have been best friends since fourth grade and I just cant let her go because I want to get stronger in my relationship with the Lord. I try to be a good influence but what normally happens is I fall on my face and have to build up that relationship with God all over again. I know I am going to fall short of not being the best influence but I don’t want every conversion with her to be a constant battle. Have you ever heard the phrase ‘bad company brings bad behavior’? Well it doesn’t help that I want to be the bigger person and be able to not fall short but we both know that I sometimes will. She needs Jesus and that is all that really matters right now is for me to be the light in her life. I pray for her to come to realize the truth but only God can reveal that to her.

Palms 24:4,5

God Loves You!

Keep me and my friend in your prayers!:)

I was reading my devotions out of Battlefield of the Mind by Beth Moore when I figured something out. See I am not the most stunning girl out there. I thought I wasn’t attractive and that I should try. As I thought about while reading my devotion I thought of what kind of things that the devil lies to to me about. He has told me that its not worth it to try to be beautiful on the outside. I just figured what was the point anyway since I don’t need to prove myself; but actually I just didn’t want to fail. Now I know the only thing not making me who I am in Christ is me, I am the only thing keeping myself from being beautiful. since I know that now I will encourage you to think about what you think of yourself. If you find it a negative response two things are happening: the devil is deceiving you terribly and you aren’t giving yourself a chance to be beautiful. I hope my story changes your way of thinking and if not I want you to know you are beautiful in Christ, and yes I am talking about you sitting their.

God Bless You!

Your In My Prayers, I ask you to pray for me too!:)
