I am a girl that lives in a small town...with BIG dreams!! I am satisfied with the place that God has put me in now and the friends He wants me to reach out to. But I want More!! I cannot wait until He sends me to other countries to reach out to and love on others that need His Love in the most desperate ways.

He might be my only hope... But in that Hope, lies e v e r y t h i n g .
Psalm 36.
Lovingkindness, Faithfulness, Righteousness and Judgement
with these things you preserve us
how precious are your ways.
Your love is Meteoric Your love Astronomic
Your purposes Oceanic, and i'm sheltered in your wings
You give drink to those who thirst
from the fountain of you life
I drink and have my fill from the rivers of your delight
and in your life we see the Light and it's shining oh so bright
and deep within, out shame and sin are found
Our darkness turns to LIGHT
The Father gave his only Son just to save us.
God, thank you so much for coming and taking captive of our lives! Let us remain close to you & cast away all of our impurities. Mold us into your image. Work through is. You will give us the strength to do all things, big or small. We just need to put our faith in You.
We love you Jesus:)

Today has been a very good day! I realized something new about myself... I need to constantly keep challenging myself everyday. This isn't much of a revelation, but a realization nonetheless! haha. I like to keep myself in this box that I have created and rarely do I go outside it. God may be telling my to do things and ways of reaching out to others, but I think to myself... This box is just soo comfortable! Today i realized again that there is so much more outside of my box. I experienced something bigger than me. I was scared and unsure, but I trusted and relied on God for strength. In doing this, I broke outside of my box, that I created for myself. If I am willing to step outside of it and let God use me, I could do soo much more for His Glory!! But only if I am willing.
I WANT MORE!
I WANT MORE!

thoughts!
So here's what i'm thinking... Their are so many people out there that view Christianity as hypocritical and irrelevant. Can we that call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ change that?? Statistics out their show that between believes and non-believes, the way we live our lives don't vary much... We are still doing the same things; Cheating, stealing, lying, being hypocritical only to name a few. So then what sets us apart?? How do our lives reflect Jesus?? Can people see the face of God in our lives?? The term 'Christianity" is slowly becoming more and more watered down. What can we do to change that?? What can we do to change the way people look at our generation?? Another thing I have been thinking about lately is how much our generation has made their own Christianity. People take what they like about it, then add or take away whatever they feel... Are we doing this in our lives? Am i doing this in my life? It's a big question! Having a relationship with God is not saying just a prayer, then hoping God will put the odds in your favor. It's a commitment. A life style. We need to be reaching out to others everyday and showing love to everyone... Matthew 25:40 says, "The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of the least of these brothers, you did for me."
How much would it change our lives and the lives around us, if we really started to listen to God's voice to reach out to others...
Mark 11:22-26 says, "And Jesus answered them, 'Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive your sins."
