victorious

Jesus tells us many times the we have victory because of God. Well, we do but i think there is a very small catch. Do I choose to live in that victory? Is God victorious in my life, in my hearts, in my mind?

Do I let God win? Or do I simply get in the way?

words are cheap but love it speaks the volumes that make our hearts grow weak.

1 john 3:18-20

Was really mind blowing for me in my quiet time today. It brought me back to reality a little bit.

God is totally greater than our feelings. He has the ability to bring sadness to happiness and thats probably why i love him so much. He does more than i could ever do on my own (which is very much appreciated) and he does more than i could ever imagine. He has the answers to everything even before i begin asking for them. Gods love is more than just silly words. Its the kind of love that brings chills to my bones. It shakes the earth. His love is real and unmovable its unconditional and eternal and I could never ask for anything more than that.

God is Good.

i felt really bad this weekend, but yet sooo good.

I love my friends, more than i ever have ever. I feel accepted now not that it ever really mattered but, it does feel good to feel like your just liked for who you are and not what you are. I love the Ohana they are great people. I felt bad because I chose fun over Church on friday. Which was absolutely pointless because we ended up waiting in line for nearly an hour and a half and spent most of the party trying to track down Taylor and JJ who just decided to vanish. So many things that night just reminded me Church comes first. I didnt put it before God though, which is a good thing more so than church. Still, Church is a huge part of my life and my walk with Christ. Im so happy for Shantae shes finally realized that Jesus is the only way and shes really seeing it clearly now. Praise GOD! Also, i didnt die learning Stick Shift and im feeling good :)

joy

"always be joyful" 1 thessalonians 5:16

Today i felt a strange joy, and i didnt necessarily have a reason for it. I love those days. Jesus wants us to have a joyful life, not one filled with drama or whatever so even if we think we have no real reason to be joyful, we should JUST DO IT!
