beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

..If i spent half as much time worrying about my heart as i do about my physical body.. haha.. then i would have a heart like the Lords already....:)

I LOVE this verse- 

2 Chronicles 16:9

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."

"Father please find my heart loyal to you, i pray that your spirit will be powerfully upon me, help me find ways to minister to my co-workers, help me find purpose in my job. bless my work. Bless my husband. Help me to become a better prayer warrior on his behalf :) Thank you for everything you did on the cross for me!- i won't forget your sacrifices and love-"

obedience... dun dun dun...

this was such a humbling study today..

I was thinking about.. the first time that i clearly heard the Lords voice....ever..... was when i was being disobedient.... how embarrassing is that...but.. this verse gives me hope:) haha.. The Lord knows that we can change

I love love this verse

Jonah 4:2b

"I knew that you were a merciful and compassionate God, Slow to get angry and full of unfailing love.You are eager to turn back from destroying people." 

In the context.. jonah is being.. a baby... but.. the truth of that verse is just wonderful!

"Thank you God! Thank you for having mercy on me. Thank you for your compassion and patience. thank you for loving me with an unfailing love!"

I miss friends.. i feel like my girl friends are so far and few between... its such a lonely feeling! 

BUT what this post is really about- is about my quiet times this morning- I'm doing a study with rachel, and we started it today- I am already feeling blessed by this.

"Father please help this study to stretch and grow my understanding of who you are! Please let my heart be sensitive to you and teach me how to love others like you do!"

1Samuel 14:4-6 "Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few." (umm, not writing down the context around this..)

Jonathon had such faith that the Lord would do what He needed to do to be glorified. I love this! He knew that if the Lord acted on their behalf then He would be getting the glory- but if he didn't, it was still in his plan, it wasn't whether or not he could save them. 

This blesses me:) 

"Lord, thank you for going ahead of me in the battles, Thank you for protecting me  and giving me the armor to be protected from the devils schemes. Guard my heart and mind and help me to dwell on you."

MY LIFE IN A NUTSHELL?

this is seriously fascinating..

new photo for the new year

This is the "first" photo in my photo every other day project..
I am excited to do this.. I love brain storming.. and.. am excited to try new things....

"In the short life that I am honored to live here on Earth, I will strive to live a life full of passion and love in every opportunity and trial that is presented to me. I am determined to be patient among those whom others refuse to love. I will endeavor to be encouraging to groups who feel they have nothing left to offer. I will find the people who have been forgotten and teach them how trust, and I will accomplish living a life set apart from the depression of norm that others so comfortably fall into."... me... i wrote that..

here we go again...

and im going to try and do this more frequently... have you heard this before? ha
lame i know..
im feeling a lack of art in my life.. and that is frustrating... i feel kind of stuck.. or bored?... im going to be doing a photo every other day project with milo and my dear sisters rachel and pro.. ... i am hoping this sparks some flames in my mind for artsy things..
