Communion.

Here’s where the dead things, come back to living. I feel my heart beating again. It feels so good to know You are my friend.

Keeping plants alive is a true accomplishment for me

Sincere worship

When we serve God it must come from the heart, we should serve Him because we love Him and bec. we are grateful to Him for everything He’s done for us. We should not serve God just bec. we want something in return. To most people this is the problem, I will share to you a true story related to this. There is a certain businessman(family friend) who owned a flavoring company w/c is successful, he was thinking of expanding and launched a new product. This new product failed, and he told us that he does not believe in God because if God existed his new venture would not fail. It’s a pity why we often blame God for trials and obstacles we have to face. What’s also sad is that some people will abandon their faith just because God did not give in to their requests. That’s equivalent to a child throwing a tantrum. The reason for this trials are simple: God has a plan better than yours and God wants you to learn something from the current situation you’re in.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If you think God has abandoned you, then you should look at Job(from the bible.) Job had all kinds of disasters enter his life, yet his faith did not falter. That’s what I call FAITH, our faith in God should be like Job’s SOLID. 

You see, God loves us all He’s not the one for special treatments. Even his anointed are not exempted from temptation and disasters. Job was considered so righteous that even Satan asked God if he could test Job’s faith.

Job 1:10-12

10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”

12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.

As you can see not even the righteous ones;those who worship the Lord in truth and in Spirit can escape trials. The enemy wants to destroy our relationship with God through these trials.Trials like these are just God’s way of proving to the enemy that you can do it, God trusts us so lets not disappoint Him.

This.

Dang. The feels. Sheesh.

poem.

when i’m with you i feel like i’m on vacation; time moves slower and nothing else seems to matter.

you crept up on me slowly and now i can’t get you out of my head.

i think about the way you tease me and how i roll my eyes.

i think about how i look at you and you return the gaze with your warm brown eyes.

but even more than that i think of how you make me feel.

safe. like i’m home when i’m with you. how we can cuddle and not have a need to say anything. comfort.

you teach me new things and challenge me to grow as a person.

i think of your touch late at night when you’re not here, and i think of you when i wake up.

i don’t know how you did it, but you have me wanting to be called your girl.

i haven’t given you my whole heart yet because i’m afraid of what you might do with it.

but you’ll see it soon. because i said it feels like i’m home when i’m with you.

and you know that old saying…

home is where the heart is.

Wake up, we're only at the start of it

We're only at the edge of the ocean...

And there's eternity to go

And even in my searching

I know I'm only ever really just beginning

And even though your endless

Lord, my joy is in the searching of Your heart

Father, Your peace surpasses everything

All thoughts and understanding

As I trust upon Your name

..And even on this ocean

With the waves all crashing over and around me

I put my trust in Your love

For Your voice has stilled the savagest of storms

...So let Your voice that stills the raging sea speak over me..

Speak "peace".

Awesome.
