Timing (and faith) is everything!

God moves and works in supernatural ways—ways that are beyond human comprehension. He doesn't function according to our time table. Sometimes we think that God isn't answering our prayers or He's delaying His promises indefinitely...but did you know that His timing is impeccable? I remember hearing from a pastor give a brief talk about the way God sets life in order since the dawn of time. He made references to a passage in Mark 11 where it mentions the young donkey Jesus rode on and the fig tree Jesus cursed. I won't get into the specific details of their meaning and such, but I want you to notice something. God is a God of order, working out distinct details of every little thing. Nothing is randomized. When God formed the earth and set life in motion, He already knew that on that particular day, before Jesus was going to arrive in Jerusalem, in a village nearby the disciples will find a young donkey tied there and has never been ridden on. The same is true about th...

"Do not worry about your life . . ." —Matthew 6:25 A warning which needs to be repeated is that “the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches,” and the lust for other things, will choke out the life of God in us ( Matthew 13:22 ). We are never free from the recurring waves of this invasion. If the frontline of attack is not about clothes and food, it may be about money or the lack of money; or friends or lack of friends; or the line may be drawn over difficult circumstances. It is one steady invasion, and these things will come in like a flood, unless we allow the Spirit of God to raise up the banner against it. “I say to you, do not worry about your life . . . .” Our Lord says to be careful only about one thing-our relationship to Him. But our common sense shouts loudly and says, “That is absurd, I must consider how I am going to live, and I must consider what I am going to eat and drink.” Jesus says you must not. Beware of allowing yourself to think that ...

I'm a girl!

Surprised? lol. I only say that because as a girl, I act so much like a girl...even with things that make my heart float, skip, jump, and sink. Sometimes I like it, then other times I strongly dislike it. Having a sporadic heart is hard to handle. *le sigh* Alrighty...so, on that note, I wanted to share with you something I've experienced recently. Yea, it has to do with a boy. But here's the thing...it's kinda different from the other crushes I've had. I think what really surprised me was that he was meeting a lot of the qualities on my list. List? What list? Ok, so back in middle school, I was told to make a list of qualities I'm looking for in a husband. This was to keep me from jumping at every opportunity any guys says he wants to date me. I was really naïve back then, so my list looked a little something like this: 1. Has to be a Christian 2. Have a sense of humor 3. Have brown hair & green eyes That was pretty much it, lol. Over the years my list...

To my dearest,

I don’t like to admit this, but I’ve been thinking about you almost every single day for a couple of months now. Even a small moment is spent praying for you for God to remind you that I’m waiting for you (and hoping you’re doing the same for me). Since the start of this year, it has been a constant battle and challenge to save myself for you—emotionally, mentally, physically, sexually, and spiritually. Lately, I’ve been able to see how easy it is to get myself in a fleeting relationship with random people. So you can imagine how hard it is to deny myself this experience so I can save the best of myself for you, truly and completely! It is a struggle; it is tough; it is so hard, but I have faith in God that He is working out every detail of our future love story.                 Most people that I encounter with these days know more or less about my “relationship status.” It can be a good thing or a bad ...
