I Will Fear No Evil, For You Are With Me.

And even though I feel so loney
like I have never been before
You never said it would be easy
but You said You'd lead me through the storm
He Will Carry Me - Mark Shults

What an awesome phrase. Life is not easy. And if you're living you know that. ;) Sometimes I can find myself (and I'm sure you all can relate) so burdened and discouraged about life's uneasyness. Not only do we lose people, but we get hurt, we fall down, we fail, and sometimes it rains. So what's the point? Where's the silver-lining?

Jesus.

I know that may sound so..heard before. But it rings true each and every time. God tells us countless time's in His word to not be afraid. Not only that, but He promises to never ever leave us.(Check out Joshua 1, Exodus 14:13, Hebrews 13:5) What difference does that make? Ohh, I'm so glad you asked.
God, Jesus, is the star breather. He is the creator of the universe. He formed every single little teeny cell inside of your elaborate body. He is the Alpha and Omega (beginning and ending); and He's the king of kings. I could go on and on about all the things God is (basically He's indescribeable) but one of the most awesome things He did was to die for us. He died on a cross for everyone of our sins. Then, He rose again and conqurered the grave! He actually defeated death. Once you accept Him, the star breathing savior, He makes us one of His own. He lives in us.
So are we making sense yet? I know, it may seem like a lot to take in..Jesus is definitely that amazing. But I'm just saying that because we are God's children, He's on our side. Forever and always. And He tells us time and time again to not be afraid, and to not be discouraged because He's got our back. The star breathing savior has our backs. And I personally am trying everyday to remind myself of that and to hold fast to Him no matter what this crazy life decides to throw at me. :)

The same power that conquered the grave lives in me, lives in me. Your love that rescued the earth lives in me, lives in me.

lots of love everybody :)

Not a Blogger

So I've finally figured out I'm not really a blogger. (I'm sure many of you could have shared that obvious fact with myself a long time ago) It's actually kinda funny; sometimes I spend hours trying to think of how to say what I'm feeling. How to write it, how to share it with someone else in a real, honest, tangible way. (to be honest, I do have what I like to call *blurps* when everything just seems to flow in a goregous, shareable way; but for those I give credit to God ;]) And then I can turn on the radio or itunes and hear a song that says it all: right there, bam! Then I'm in awe. And I post the lyrics, play the song endlessly, and tell everyone how amazing it was. lol. (think I'm a music freak?)
I long to aid in the fueling of people's fire. I long to encourage and strengthen those who are fallen. I long to share the unspeakable love of Jesus in a way that someone can truly understand how unspeakable it really is. Yet my words always seem to come when I don't intend them.
But maybe that's a gift, maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.
