Life may be spinning round and round
And sometimes it can be simple
Other times complicated and frustrating
But all of my days,
I will follow after your ways.
And Father, when I'm blind and cannot see,
You're constantly guiding me.


Thank You for your Son
Thank You for your vision for my life
Thank You for every new day
Thank You for Joy
Thank You for your full encompassing LOVE.
If we would just stop, surrender, and listen
If we gave Him our all
If we were never ashamed
If we lived out what we believed
If we loved how Jesus did
Then they would know.
In these places we hid or faces,
With shame and guilt.
We can't see through these walls
That we have built.
We cover up the sin with lies
But He can see the burdens we carry
In our hearts and eyes.
He hears our crys.

What is Beauty?


Is it blonde hair?
Brown hair?
Red hair?
Is it makeup?
Is it the latest fashions?
Is it cosmetic surgeries?
Is it being skinny?
What us b e a u t y ???
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
Then we are all beautiful.
You see, we were all created in God's image.
That makes us extraordinarily beautiful!
What makes you different than others
Was not a mere mistake, it was in God's divine design.
You are unique
And you are special.
...The apple of God's eye.
He looks at you, smiles, and thinks, 'how beautiful'.
Beauty is not defined by looks,
Not by your appearance,
Not by your weight,
Or even by your accomplishments.
But it is defined by your heart.


Their is nothing more beautiful than that of a pure heart.


This is true beauty.

I love Him,
He Loves me.
I walk with Him,
He walks with me.
I praise who He is,
He praises who I am.
I desire a relationship with Him,
He desires a relationship with me.
I cheat, steal, and lie.
He shed blood and paid the debt for my sins on a wooden cross.
I did this to Him,
But he did this for me.


1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.  This is Love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning Sacrifice for our sins.
This Love.
How can it be?
For me?
I'm a sinner
I deserve nothing
A wretch
Just look at my past!


Your Glory
Your Beauty
Your Salvation
Your Power
Your Majesty
You are a King!


... And you love me.
God, you blow me away.

You are Beautiful, so Beautiful

Father,
Your Love is so much bigger than I could ever know.
You are so beautiful.
There is nothing better than being in Your presence.
The warmth I feel...
I love hearing your voice.
I fall in awe before you.
I surrender E V E R Y T H I N G.
Fill me up, let your cup overflow in my life.
Prepare me for the things to come.
I want and need to be ready.
With these hands, Your Love will spread.
With these hands, Your Spirit will invade lives.
All through You.
When You come, I will be ready.
But until then, I will be Your missionary 
This generation is deeply desperate for You.
So blinded by lies, hurt, pain, and scars.
Awaken these people.
They're sick of religion. They want the Truth.
But they do not know the One Truth is not found in church or religion,
It is found in Salvation.
Save them.
Send me, Father.
This generation needs You.
Continue to renew my spirit so I can be your disciple for Truth.  


God of Heaven and of earth,
Thank You for saving US.
All my Love,
Rachael. xoxo♥.
