Disciplines of a Beautiful Woman

Just a few things God has been speaking to me over the last couple of Days:

God can have no competition in your heart. 

Get your heart together with your christian family. Guard your unity. Attend to them, Love them, Care for them, Help them and Strengthen them in God; Teach them and be taught by them. (prov. 31:20)

The Source of your money is Never your Job! 

“Come to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for i am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matt 11:28-30)

Walk in a manner that is Worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

 I want to see that which is unpleasing to God in my life die as He marks me with his presence, Love and humility. That a pure spirit full of love would become an altar of Worship to give God pleasure. That all the work of my hands, all the gifts I been blessed with, would all be a marker pointing to God’s glory and wonder. 

Give me strength to be a Woman of stature Lord:

The Heart of her Husband trusts her, 

Strength and Dignity are her clothing, 

And she smiles at the future.

She opens her moth in Wisdom,

And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

She looks well to the ways of her household,

And does not eat the bread of idleness,

Charm is Deceitful, and beauty is vain,

But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

To become a woman of moment by moment, turning every situation into an opportunity for talking continually with God.

Control your days instead of letting them control you. Plan your days out. know what you need to do so that you can be prepared, and always allow room for the Holy Spirit to move in unexpected ways. don’t take it as an interruption but receive it as a blessing that God chose to use you in an extraordinary way.

“To Worship God is the chief end of all man.” (A.W. Tozer)

Oh Lord how i wish to worship you. Only you are worthy of our worship and praise.

Far more beautiful, more precious than the oils, the sum of my desires and the fullness of my joy. I spill my heart, as an offering to my King. 

Lord here I am.

Take me, as an offering.

Every heart beat for your glory.

Take me.

This time that I have left is all that i have of worth, I lay it at your feet lord its is less than you deserve. You gave your life for me and so i give me life to you. Take me Lord use me Lord.

I lay myself on the altar, Not as a sacrifice but as an offering. It is no sacrifice to give back what is yours, you have paid for me with a price; so here i am. 

Worthy, oh Worthy are you Lord.

you are mine I am yours. 

I offered you dirty hands and dirty feet, only dirty lips for you to clean, but here I am. you took me in washed my feet, clothed me with purity and burned my lips with Holy fire. you have sent me to be your holy ambassador. I will do whatever you ask of me. You have romanced me. You have made me whole. 

I will go to the streets lifting up holy hand, crying from lips that have been touched by jesus. Here is my Heart you can have it all. Lord you are good and your love endures forever.

Yearning for More

I just started this new journal titled: Stones from the River of Mercy 

The first day it talked about the grace and mercy of the Lord. What would can we do to show His love and Mercy to others. Well I got my opportunity. I didn't even realize it till the end of the day, it had been so hectic. I really don't think i have worked a busier day since i started my new job, but i had people walking out of my office feeling better than when they had walked in. Someone Even complimented me on my graciousness, and i got to pray for another potential client. My "long day" turned out to be a very blessed one. I got to end it praising God for using me to show His grace if only in my work place. God is so good.

This is my beautiful friend Krista. She is as beautiful as her heart for the Lord is. This is my heart's cry. that we would worship with our whole heart with our whole lives. That everything we do would be an action of worship. to burst out in spontaneous song and spontaneous dance. That the hearts of this city would know what it feels like to become completely abandoned to everything but the face of Jesus. To dance in the street and not care what people say. To pray and see miracles happen. to sing and see people fall to their knees in awe of our King. Oh that Worship would arise in this place. That it would be an offering of our lives that is pleasing to Jesus. 

These are just some other inspiring pictures that put a yearning for more in my spirit. some i have taken, some i borrowed :)

Breathless

the month of July past so fasts its ridiculous! this summer feels like it's only beginning, yet falls right around the corner. this was my hearts cry for july:

Now that i have seen your good deeds how could i not love you? now that i have heard of all you’ve done how could i not know that you are the king and that you love your people. Now that i have been loved by the creator of Love how could anything ever compare. You have won my heart. I was hard to track down, easily distracted, and my eyes wandered through every room. But who could ignore your presence oh Lord. Who would deny themselves all that you have offered. I have tasted the lips of wickedness, I have touched the skin of sin. The heat of those actions runs through me as its poison reaches below the surface. But who is Like you God, who cleanses me of my own foolishness and removes the traces of poison from me. Even my mind has been restored my lips no longer feel impressions that were left behind by my actions, my fingers, no longer the heat. You have made me whole; now my whole being aches for you. I am in constant awe and wonder that the king of the universe loves me more than the world could ever know. You have sought after my heart, pursued it. while i was in the arms of your enemy you were waging war on my behalf. 

You have won your battle. Your fight was not in vain. You have turned my heart towards you. Now I will lay my head on your arm in perfect peace. I will sit at your feet all day long in wonder of your wisdom and kindness. I will serve you all my life for my life is little compared to your greatness. You have chosen me. What is this? I cannot understand the ways and goodness of the Lord, and yet i will not turn away from, but embrace it with all that i am. I want all of you jesus with all that i am.

in you there is perfect peace, perfect joy, and perfect Love. there is nothing lacking in you. Oh there are not enough languages, not enough words to emulate the vast greatness of my God. I wish i knew more.

Lord- blessed are you. you who needs no one; who is complete in and of yourself. Thank you for inviting me into you Holy Love. for letting me share it, not only as a spectator but as a participant. Lord give my heart greater capacities to carry your love and my mind greater understanding. I wish to grow in wisdom and truth. That your love would be carried through me, that others would know it to be true. 

you leave me breathless.

from Past to Present

Since I just started my blog let me start by sharing some pieces of my journaling over the last few months. This is to show what God has been doing from then till now:
