My Adopted Sister

By on Nov 26, 2017 in Eternal Thoughts | 0 comments

This is a piece I was writing the other day. Not too far into it, I realized a good friend of our families somewhat fits the piece. She is close with my brother and sister in law. So I wrote this for her. It’s a new flavor of writing for me. She is a fresh face to our little family and I hope to see her at many family events in the near future. She just completed school and turned 18. I wanted to give her these words from my heart. Enjoy! Everyone is searching for somewhere to hide. Nobody wants to fess up and get a clean slate. Don’t worry Baby, it’s okay. You will have your shot some other time. Don’t give up. Hit hit and one day you too will rise. I know you can. Do you? You have beauty beyond compare. Through you, and in spite of your name to claims, your innocence will be your downfall. I know you can believe again. Believe in yourself and know I am rooting...

Jesus, Lover of my Soul

I am so sorry for the confusion on this post. I saved the picture and title, but it erased my first attempt at writing this. I hope you enjoy it! Its my take on the Song of songs. Enjoy! I search for the One my soul loves. Where did He go? Is He caravaning with us? He is mine. I long for more in my relationships, my marriage, in my life. I want to be taken higher, plunge me deep in Your love for me. Be my Lover, and my true Friend. Help me trust in You more. Only You can satisfy. Only You can save me. Just slow it all down, please, in my head. I need Your touch to pause on this so I can breathe. You better watch out! My God is bigger and better than you. His army is stronger, His plan is bigger, and His reach is farther than you will ever know.  When the traffic gets thick and no one remembers my name- when I’ve lost everything and nothing makes sense anymore- You will find me....

A Great Catch

I don’t know about you, but sometimes the Great Commission is hard to fulfill. I’ll be going about my day, doing this and that, and the Spirit of God will prompt me to share with a stranger His gospel. Sometimes I try to ask questions about God, and it flops into the stranger not understanding my question. The other day I was trying to be bold with these three new friends I met near our apartment. I said, “Do you know God?” The one girl said “I talk to Him all the time, I’m always with Him.” Her response was good, but I know that just because someone says they talk to God, does it really mean they know Him fully? I’m going to try this week to be more bold with strangers. After all, people are way more curious than you would think about Spirituality. People are going to hell fast, so who are we to stand by and watch instead of doing...

Keep On Singing

Have you ever seen a caterpillar metamorphisize into a butterfly? Well I have, and I can tell you it’s a simple process with a few stages. First a caterpillar starts eating more and more leaves, getting fatter and fatter, then the caterpillar goes into his little shell where finally he becomes a butterfly. Today I was thinking about my life like that of a caterpillar. There are different stages, some frustatingly long and others not so long, but it can be maddening in transit. I do know, however, that I can trust the Hand that holds mine. That is so true! I know I can always trust Him, that He knows what He is doing, even when I don’t. It is so easy to always ask for more, isn’t it? It’s a good idea to stay in communication with Jesus and it’s a great idea to ask for a clearer picture from Him. But if I can continually think of my life like one that is...

Whispers of Love

Jesus is so Beautiful. In Him is true freedom and light. Everything good comes from Him, because He loves me and wants me to listen to the music from His heart. Focus on your inner locus of control-with your thoughts and actions until you are at peace in yourself. Peace only comes from My Jesus. Love and Hope, goodness and faithfulness. Because He is good. Love and joy-true joy- and Hope with Grace are found in Him. God is the Best God ever. In Him there is no deceit or evil. He is always for me, and He never tempts me. Because He is Good. My Father, my Abba Daddy, is always waiting to run to my aid. The enemy is never winning, because my God squashes him like a bug every time. I’m so thankful for my pictures my Jesus gives me. They give me insight into what is happening with me and others.I love when I read His Word and He gives me pictures while I am reading! But He is always...
