Truth

Lately I've been researching & digging into truths about God & truths about what God says about me. Some truths I've learned or really started grabbing ahold of are:

-God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
-God loves believers.
-We have been chosen in Christ for God.
-God, in His holy, most righteous, most perfect, full of splendor, self...has set is affections on me (us!).
-He asks us to set our affections upon him in the same way.
-If we are fully focused on him our relationship with Him will eclipse everything else in our lives.
-His love will carry us through any hardship.
-Psalm 63:3 says, "Your love is better than life." and I believe that.
-Absolutely nothing compares to Him.
-Our souls were meant to feast on Him.
-He WANTS to satisfy our souls with His unfailing love.
-We were meant & created to thrive on the riches of His love.
-If you ask him to rid us of the lesser gods in our lives, He will not only fill that cup, but overflow it.
-We are tremendously significant to God.
-Loving us was better than sparing Christ's life.......if that one doesn't sink deep I don't know what will.

Your love, O Lord, is better than Life!

"Let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy! Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O Lord you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." Psalm 5:11-12

Holy Crow

Its January 8, 2013 people! In two days I will have lived in Lynchburg 13 years! That is longer than any other place I have lived. Crazy. Growing up in Colorado, never in my wildest dreams, did I think I would be living in a state that I used to only look at on the map. Crazy how God moves & directs & changes our expectations of the course of our lives. With a 2 1/2  year old & a 5 month old, a marriage that is becoming more & more beautiful with each year, with a job I absolutely love, and a God that thinks I am worth using and making a difference....I'd say my life is so full.
Not how I planned.
But its beautiful because its his story, and his story is so much MORE than my little head could dream up.
I'm not sure where life has you right now, but from my experience, surrendering your will, your plans, your expectations, dreams, and whatever else you thought your "life" should be, over to Him, has a much greater reward than if we were to come up with our plans.
I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment & let me know how I could pray for you.
I hope today finds you resting in His sweet, sweet grace. ♥
