My God is BIG, so STRONG and so MIGHTY...

I wrote this in the middle of Church... i tend to do that.. someone will say something and words will just start rushing in and i have to either forget them or write them down... here is the product.

----

God's power is so big, why in the WORLD do we doubt it? God is much more worried about our end product than our pain right now. It may hurt now, but later it WILL be worth it! You will see the fruit that was grown through your tears that were endlessly sown. Your strength will one day move mountains through the pain you've endured with God's overwhelming love. I used to be SO bitter towards God because of the trials i endured through my life. I finally now understand that God's overwhelming love for me is WHY i endured these trials. He loves me SO much He won't let me stay stagnant. He pushes for growth and trials so that i will solely rely on Him and His love and allow Him to further mold me to be more like Him. IF HE DIDN'T LOVE ME, HE WOULD LET ME STAY WHERE I AM! If it took what i went through in my life to honor my God to the best of my ability, so be it. Would i want to go through it again, no... but to God be the Glory ... His will is bigger and better than mine. As it will continue to be.

2 Corinthians 1:3-10

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.
For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. "

Your Love, Oh God!



---

This song pretty much sums up my heart's song for the last couple of weeks. His love is what carries me through every moment of every day at this point in my life. His love is what covers my wrist, and will be my ever present reminder for the rest of my days. His love is what covers my past, my present and my future. How lucky am i to serve a God who loves me this much despite of what i do or who i am. I promise i will post pictures of my tattoo experience later... I just wanted to let ya'll know a little behind the scenes reasoning for getting it. If you want to know the full story.. just let me know.

Its been a while...

I've decided to slowly get back into this... haven't told anyone yet. But i gradually will get back into the swing of blogging, thoughts, songs, prayers... whatever comes to mind. I can't believe the last time i posted this was my freshman year at DBU... haha... welp.. im now a senior and graduating in may... i think it might have been a while. If i could delete it .. i would... but i haven't figured out how to do that yet. Oh well... Looking back i can't believe how much the Lord has grown me and all i have experienced since coming here to DBU. So grateful for the Lord's guidance in my life. Anyway... i will leave you with a video of one of my favorite comedians... Enjoy!
