Vantage Point

"Where there is hope there is faith. Where there is faith there is love. Where there is love their is God. Where their is God there is no need." ANON.

I remember my teenage loves. The energy and time I put into making everything work. From the break ups to make ups. Late night phone calls and early morning cake sessions. Intense arguements that could commit genocide. Yet somehow it didnt hurt after im sorry. If I could love like that without God, imagine how much more I could with him. God's love is limitless. It opperates outside space and time. It knows no boundaries no conditions and no yesterdays. He is so busy loving me He cant remember my iniquity transgression and sin. Marriage is a crystal clear representation of this love. A commitment that only death can end.

Me and love (the feeling not the person) have a strange relationship. Sometimes it colors my world. Yellow sunshine so bright the energy warms my soul. Crystal blue skies that capture my every thought. Ever green trees that stand tall and strong. Red water that cleanses me like no other. I dip twice to kill my flesh and restore my soul. Grace carefully weaves together a dress made of joy and peace. I sit next to my King smiling. I was created for this moment.

Other times its a fight. In combat there are no promises. You either choose to live or you will surely die. I always get a head start. I chase pavements unsure of my destination. That's the beautiful thing about love. You don't have to know where you are going to get there on time.

Next Stop: Liberty

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. - John 8:36 "It is the hurt that breaks me it’s the pain that pulls me to my knees and the tears they’ve changed me til what I couldn’t see Becomes so clear to me This is the way The way that you love me" - Anthony Evans Where do I begin? Its been a long 2 months. I went through every emotion there is. I cried more than I slept and prayed more than I breathed. I was isolated from every single comfort zone I faithfully rested my head upon. All I had was a mouth to pray and hands to praise. It was just me and God. And though I know He would never leave nor forsake me I had never felt so alone. I felt abandoned and cut off. The dreams I had grown so accustomed to were no where to be found. The very gift through which all my answered prayer came was out of service. I felt like my prayer was in vain. I started to focus my mind on other things. I begin to rely on people back home to tell me what God was saying. I patiently...

Challenge Accepted: My Scars

A couple days ago a fellow blogger and sister of mine issued a challenge. The challenge was to write a blog on why I show my scars. Once I read the challenge I knew I had to participate. Sharing my journey through writing has been a source of healing and freedom not just for me but for those who read the blog. Ever since I started this blog I have had the support of Rhachelle and I am truly grateful for that. When I bought my first pink my scars tee from her RN brand t-shirt collection I promised myself I wouldn't put it on until I was ready to speak freely about everything I had been through. Needless to say the shirt is in heavy rotation and I can no longer be silent about how Christ rescued me. I hope that you all enjoy this post and decide to take the challenge as well. Check out rhachellenicol.com for more information on the challenge and rnbranddesign.bigcartel.com for the my scars t-shirts and her other ministry tees.  I show my scars because I was never good at putting o...

He Gave

And he gave me hands. Hands to write the vision and make it plain. Hands to wipe every tear as He counted the blessings they would bring. He gave me feet. Feet to walk in the path he set before me. To run this race and endure all that comes my way. To jump over and walk through the valley of the shadow of death. He gave me a mouth. To shout the praises of a living king. To worship the glory of the holy lamb. To move the mountains to new places. To conquer the spirit of silence. He gave me life. Became who I am so I could be who he is. Laid down so I could stand firm. Cried out so I could dream big. Stepped down so I could be set free. Broke chains so I could serve him. Passed down the letter and canceled it through grace. He gave me love. Love to overcome breakthrough. To nurture bring life and survive. To rebuke loneliness inspire and grow. My King My Saviour My Redeemer who is patient and kind. Keeps no records of my wrongs wont delight in my evil ways protects trusts and...
