Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

Open Hands

CRAZY in Love with YOU!!!

Posted in Reflections on God on November 15, 2009 by schoolgirl777

You life my feet off the ground

and I am found more crazy in love with you

I’m lost in your eyes

because I am crazy in love with you

You showed me what living is for

and I am more crazy in love with you

You make me crazy in love with you

because you first loved me

I am crazy in love with you

because you hold my precious, fragile heart

in your hands

I am crazy in love with you

because you are more so in love with me

for all time

even to the ends of the earth

I am crazy in love with you

because you know the plans

you have for me

that give me hope and a future

How long, O LORD, must I wait in this desert place?

Although, I love what I do, some days I feel so alone

but I know you are with me and you hear my cry

I long for that special connection with another

but I thank you that I have it with you

Thank you for being the God of my life

my faithful friend and

closest companion

YOU are more than enough,

and I am CRAZY in love with YOU!!!

LORD, I am learning how to live my life with open hands in every area, but I confess, I am no expert at it!  I need your arms to wrap around me right now, at this moment.  I love you, my Savior, Amen!!!

Posted in Relationships on November 11, 2009 by schoolgirl777

1st things 1st

You are in Control

1st things 1st

but God I wish I knew

1st things 1st

through all this uncertainty

Why is my heart so attached to him at all?

1st things 1st

Why did I let myself in?

1st things 1st

I wish the answers were here

oh then, dear LORD, things would be so clear

1st things 1st

Why can’t I stop them?

These feelings,oh these feelings I feel

Why do I long for his call?

1st things 1st

Is there something there?

1st things 1st

Why do I let myself care?

1st things 1st

Do I really feel something?

or is my heart being surreal?

1st things 1st

I don’t know what I have to do?

1st things 1st

Why would I ever fall?

but, LORD, I so feel like I want to

1st things 1st

I will keep looking to you through it all

Of course this has been my prayer

for that special guy

yes, this is my prayer also for

the man of my dreams

that he as well as I

would keep

1st things 1st

through it all!!!

An Awesome Prayer from an Awesome Friend who has grown soooo very much (her writing inspires my own)!!!

Posted in Relationships on November 10, 2009 by schoolgirl777

God, I pray for a man with a gentle heart, who will be tender towards me and cherish me all the days of my life – who will respect and honor me as you do – I pray that you will create a bright and peaceful spirit in me that will awaken adventure, desire and a desire for intimacy in his heart. Allow us to be a part of your Kingdom – may we give you all we have, make us clear minded and steadfast, especially in our love for you. scrawled underneath, i wrote, a self sacrificing man. But in the space of singleness, I do not know if or when the door to a new relationship will open – but I’m becoming ok with this – as I ask God to continue to color my world and re-awaken a vision and thankfulness in me for what I already have.  Thank you for being my lover first and forever during this time in my life.  I love you, LORD Jesus, Amen!!!

 “What emerged from our talk was nothing less, we believed, than the central ’secret’ of enduring love:sharing…Total sharing, we felt, was the ultimate secret of a love that would last forever…The killer of love is creeping seperateness…Ceasing to do things together. Finding seperate interests. “We” turning into “I.” Self. Self-regard: what I want to do. Actual selfishness only a hop away. This was the way of creeping seperateness…We would be us-centered, not self-centered…We saw self as the ultimate danger to love, which it is; we didn’t see it as the ultimate evil of hell, which it also is. We saw only the danger to our love. Still, we turned away from it, turned away because we loved our love. And we were determined that it should endure.” (A Severe Mercy pg 27,29,30)

I made a list….

Posted in Just Encouragement, Perspective, Reflections on November 1, 2009 by schoolgirl777

I made a list of the thoughts I have been thinking.  Things on my mind, that are close to my heart.  My life it seems can go in so many different directions, and I am not sure which way to go from here.  Then, I realized today is November.  I do not have to decide today, just pray, and keep praying.  God always makes it clear.  He will lead, guide and direct me into what He wants and all I need to do it live for each day!!!!

It’s Been Awhile!!!

Posted in Life Lessons, Mini Reflection Sermons with tags on October 24, 2009 by schoolgirl777

It’s been a while since I wrote, I feel like I have a lot to say, but writing inspiration has totally not been there.  My inspiration has been elsewhere; on the kids who I teach and the people he has placed in my life to reach out to and build relationships with.  I love every part of my life, and I could not ask for it to be any other way.  I am living in the arms of my SAVIOR and that is more than enough for me; but HE has blessed me with so much!!!!

Battling sickness has reminded me that in this world we will have troubles, but we are to take heart (be strong in HIM and don’t give up), because HE has overcome the world.  Rather, I am to consider it pure joy whenever I face trials of many kinds because the testing of my Faith produces perseverance.  Perseverance must finish its work so that I may be mature and complete not lacking anything (John 10:33; James 1:2-3).  It is through these trials of many kinds that HE increases in our lives and we decrease (John 3:30) so He is living through us as we live for HIS glory, HIS purpose, HIS plan!!!  He knows the plans He has for us (Jeremiah 29:11) and He works everything for the good of those who love HIM who are called according to HIS purpose (Romans 8:28).

SO, because of that, and other deeply personal matters of the heart, my head has been in the clouds and inspiration to write has been utilized elsewhere.  LORD, in all I do, help me to keep looking to you because your ways are so much higher, wider, deeper than my own (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Daughter, be anxious for nothing and trust me with your whole heart; do not lean on your own understanding; lean on me; I know the plans I have for you.  Rest in me, do not worry about anything!!!

I will LORD I will!!!

First Things First

Posted in Endless Poetry, Relationships on October 5, 2009 by schoolgirl777

Life would be so simple

if we just would

keep seeking things above

and reaching out with HIS  love

Life would be so simple

if we would keep first things first

then everything would be

so clear as we could see

beyond the shadows

as our trust daily grows in Thee!!!

“But seek first HIS kingdom, and HIS righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you as well (Matthew 6:33).”

What Life is All About…Read On…

Posted in Endless Poetry, Life Lessons on September 19, 2009 by schoolgirl777

Life is all about FAITH, the FAITH of a mustard seed that it takes to move a mountain.

Life is all about learning to TRUST, learning to trust HIS hand to lead and guide us.

Life is all about PEACE, the peace that comes from keeping a quiet heart and being devoted to HIM no matter what occurs around us.

Life is all about LOVE, loving God first, seeking HIM daily, and then reaching out and loving others as we follow in HIS steps.

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20-21).”

“Therefore, Be imitators of God as dearly loved children, and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:1-2).”

It’s CRAZY….

…but that’s what girl’s do!!!

They dream

They desire

They love

to inspire

A girl’s heart is fragile

It must be handled with care

Not thrown around

by someone who doesn’t dare

to take the risk

to explore

the depth

of her inner core

a girl thinks long

a girl thinks hard

I know it sounds CRAZY

but guys,

That’s just what girls do!!!
