I made a list….

Posted in Just Encouragement, Perspective, Reflections at 8:59 pm 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!!!!

Keep a Quiet Heart!!!

Posted in Endless Poetry, Just Encouragement, Life Lessons at 2:41 am by schoolgirl777

Keep quiet.  Do the work you have to do in life, but inwardly keep quiet. Then you will have understanding (a quote off of a good friend’s blog site)!!!

Be still before the LORD and WAIT PATIENTLY For HIM!!!

Sometimes in life

we get so busy

so bogged down

so tired

we forget

the one thing

that is needed

to sit at HIS feet

to BE STILL

and KNOW

that HE is GOD

HE will be exalted

because HE is in control

if only we would let HIM be

if only we would

be anxious for nothing

and keep a quiet heart

if only we would do this

then we would have understanding

and not be afraid

of the next thing

HE has in store for us!!!

LORD Jesus, help me to be still.  You never cease to amaze me through the many things you do.  You have always provided for me, and you hold my heart in your hands.  Help me to be still as I am at this very moment.  Let my heart keeps quiet as I earnestly seek to know you so much more every day.  Thank you for encouraging me so that I can do the same for others.  Thank you for your victory in my life.  Thank you for being my faithful, constant companion and lover of my soul that will never leave me nor forsake me.  Thank you that I can trust your hand to lead and guide me each day.  I love you my Savior, you are more than enough for me, Amen!!!

I Look to YOU

Posted in Endless Poetry, Just Encouragement, Reflections on Scripture at 6:06 am by schoolgirl777

I look to You my LORD, the maker of heaven and earth

I look to You because you are good

I look to You and I have peace

My eyes look to you, dear LORD

My eyes look to you

and I am helped

My eyes  look to you

and I am comforted

I am protected

I am surrounded

as I

look to you

When I look up

it is about obedience

When I look up

it is about faith and prayer

When I look up

it is about perspective

When I look up

the negative assumptions and thoughts will soon disappear

When I look up

I realize I am your servant

and I draw closer to you

I will do what you want

When I look up

I see your face

and I fall into your embrace

When I look up

I love you more

When I look up

I struggle with YOUR energy

that is so powerfully working in me

according to YOUR purpose and will

When I look up

I see feel YOUR love

and YOUR faithfulness

overwhelm my soul

“I lift my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from?  My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:1-2).”

Where does your heart find joy, my child???

Posted in Just Encouragement at 10:26 pm by schoolgirl777

Me:  Good Question, as always!!! Your WORD says to “Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4),” and I long to live my life according to your word so that I will trust you more.  Sometimes it is hard to know your ways, but then, that is where Faith comes in, right???   

GOD’s Response:  It’s true.  Delight yourself in me my child, my beautiful, precious, darling one.  I love you and I have huge plans for you.  I will fulfill the desires of your heart that I placed there.  Trust me.  Love me.  Fear me.  Draw ever near me and worship me with your life. 

LORD, not my will but yours be done.  Thank you for the desires you have placed deep down inside of me.  Thank you for my purpose as a teacher and the matters of the heart that are too intimate to convey on a blog site.  You know them well, my LORD, you created them.  Help me to trust you more this day forward.  I love you.  Amen.

Through…

Posted in Just Encouragement at 7:12 am by schoolgirl777

Through trials

through pain

through chaos and confusion

when I don’t know where to turn

when everything around me

falls apart

I am always with YOU

and YOU with me

YOU will bring the victory

My Power

comes from YOUR POWER

and in you

I will overcome

Through trials

through pain

through chaos and confusion

I arise

stronger

because

He is

my Strength

and I

can trust in Him

He is ever so Faithful!!!

You make Everything Glorious…

Posted in Just Encouragement at 2:40 am by schoolgirl777

You make everything glorious

and I am yours

What does that make me???

Loved

Cared For

Treasured

Delighted in

Amazed

Filled with Awe  and Wonder

Eternally Yours

In Love with the Creator of the Universe

Embraced

Sustained

Near to You

Provided For

Protected

Comforted

Complete

Able to give You all of my Praise!!!

Thank you for pleasant thoughts in the midst of chaos, in the midst of drama from every angle.  I look forward to the victory that will come my way through it all.  I know it will work out even though through my humanity and frailty (not that I am making excuses for myself, but…) I have a hard time seeing it.  Thank you that I can trust you, that I can trust your faithfulness to me.  Thank you that I can come to you honest and broken, yet arise beautiful in your sight!!!

Inspired by Psalm 66

Posted in Just Encouragement at 1:09 am by schoolgirl777

LORD, How Great you are O God, how Awesome are your marvelous deeds!!! All the earth bows down to you, they sing praise to you.  They sing praise to your name.  Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in my behalf.  You have preserved my life and kept my foot from slipping.  For you, O God, test me, you refine me like silver.  Even though I go through fire and water, you will bring me to a place of abundance.  Surely you have listened and heard my voice in prayer.  Praise be to you, O God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld your immeasurable love from me.  Thank you, LORD JESUS, I Love You, Amen!!!

A Surprising Peace…

Posted in Just Encouragement at 2:11 am by schoolgirl777

LORD JESUS, A surprising, yet so real peace has come in and overwhelmed my soul. My heart is still, my heart is quiet, dear LORD, waiting for you, waiting for the revealing of your will for me. I am not sure where to go from here but I know you are with me and you will lead me onward to where you want me to be.  I will not be afraid, I will not give up.  I will embrace what you have for me from this moment on, I will live each day to the abundance that you created me to live.  Thank you for your insurmountable peace in my life, a peace I have never felt before, a peace that accepts your will above my own.  Help me to live in this peace daily.  Help me to dwell in your presence so that I know that every area of my life is controlled by you because it is.  Thank you for being who you are in my life.  I Love You.  You go before me.  I will sing of your strength forever.  You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.  You are my strength, I will sing my praise to you.  You are my fortress, my loving God.  You are so good and all you do is good.  I Love You and I will never stop because your love abounds.  In Jesus Christ’s Holy Name I pray, Amen.

Thoughts from the Frustrated and Emotional…

Posted in Just Encouragement at 2:12 am by schoolgirl777

LORD Jesus, Pull me into your arms-into your arms-I know you hear my prayer take me deeper LORD.  Thank you that you hold my hand and embrace me-LORD, I need your touch, I am not sure if I can go on.  I have no strength.  I need your love to pull me through this day.   I trust in you although I struggle as I face the challenges you have placed before me.  You are my help and you will sustain me.  Thank you that I can cast my cares on you and you will never let me fall.  Show me what steps to take every day.  Show me how I can best love and serve those around me.  Help me to look up and stop looking down and around.  Keep me out of your way.  From the mountains to the valleys, and everything beyond, you are God, Most High.  You care so much.  You love so immeasurably, you are my Almighty LORD.  I will praise you all of my days, in the good times and the bad.  I long to walk before you in the light of life and I am so glad I can because you are always with me.  I Love you so much.  Amen.
