This is why I write!!!

Hear my prayer, O LORD, sometimes, like today, I feel like I cannot go on.  Let my cry for help come to you.  I am in distress.  Turn your ear to me when I call, answer me quickly.  I am like a desert owl wandering in the desert wilderness praying for your strength, that I would look up and never look down or around.  Oh, that I would know your purpose for me, what your will is above my own because my future is secure in you and only in you, dear LORD.  My enemies, and at this point, the kiddos I love so much, but are bratty in my class, but you, O LORD sit enthroned forever.  Your renown endures through all generations.  You never cease to show your favor to me and you will respond to my desperate prayer as you will never reject my plea.  You’ve stolen my heart and I will never be the same again.  Let this be written for future generations no yet created, that they may see and fear and praise your name.  This is why I write, why I must proclaim what I have seen and heard with sweet words inspired straight from you.  You laid the earth’s foundations, the heavens are the work of your hands.  They will perish but you remain, your years will never end.  Pero tu eres siempre el mismo y tus anos no tienen fin.  Why, what reason do I have to not trust you???  Por que no confia en ti???  Gracias Padre para este dia de alabare.  Ayudame vivir un dia a tiempo.  En el nombre de Jesus Cristo, Amen!

I cannot stop writing!!!

Even if I tried, I could not resist the urge to sit down and let my fingers float ever so rapidly from the keys of my computer.  I cannot stop writing about all that I have seen or heard.  It helps me to relieve the homesickness and get used to being over 300 miles away from my family and close friends.  It was a step, a step that was hard to take because I had to leave the familiarity and enter into the unknown, but isn’t that exactly what FAITH is???  I need more of this Faith so that I can trust my God who knows my entire life before I have even lived it.  He sees the final picture.  He knows me through and through and He will never stop loving me.

If I could think of a theme for everything I write, I would have to say it would be a heart that longs for more of God and longs to be wherever He takes it.  He is Faithful, He gives and takes away, blessed be His name.  He never takes away without filling what He takes with more of what He can give, and that is always good!!!

Looking ahead, I am excited to be in the midst of the adventure He is taking me on and I look forward to every day that I get to live in it!!!

If I Write Anything…

If I write anything, I want it to be seasoned with salt as it builds another up or makes another think in a way they have never thought before. I want them to be encouraged and inspired to continue on their journey and find joy in every circumstance.

As I write I reflect as I did the other day. I reflect on my life hoping the happenings in my life might spur another on to love and good deeds. I want the words that I say to build up rather than tear down as my entire mindset aspires to be on Christ and what He has done; to Him be all glory, power, and praise.  With Him I Go Forward pressing on with Him as He reveals my Next Step!!!

I Cannot Write Tonight

I find myself at a loss for words, and the funny thing is, its ok. The last thing I need is to be with you, and to hear what you would say. Word of God speak, would you pour down like rain, washing my eyes so I can seek your majesty. Help me be still and know that you are in this place, please let me stay and rest in your righteousness, Word of God speak!!! I find my self at a loss for words and the funny thing is, its ok! I Love you my Lord!

I Want to Write…

I want to write with words so true. I want to write so people can experience hope. I want to write to inspire, so people will be encouraged to keep going in their promised land of life. I want to write to love others. I want to write to encourage another heart to turn to you and seek you first. But most of all, I want to be filled with longing for your law at all times. I thirst to be made more thirsty still. I desire to convey what so many long to convey in words so rich in words so true.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh LORD, my rock and my redeemer. May my words I write and the words I say be from you and may they fill and calm the soul as they penetrate hearts and impact lives. Oh Lord, the triune God, I want to want you, I hunger and thirst for your righteousness. Fill me up, so that your love overflows and radiates like the sun to those around me. I Love you my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, my God in whom I Trust. Amen!!!

Inspired

Inspired to write, I am. It is an unexplainable passion I cannot contain that so easily flows from my fingertips and comes out in precious words that resignate from the yearning of my heart to convey what I am learning, so that it may in turn be beneficial to another. What can I write that will build others up in their time of need, what else can be done to help those who need a hand to hold? How can I be honest? How can I genuinely portray life as it really is: a journey, an adventure, a saga of the heart- which is but the core of who we are, the person inside of each of us, the person we were in the past, who we are now, and who we are becoming as we are changed, prepared, refined. Life continues. It stretches you and does not let you get comfortable, it prepares you and this preparation enables you to take risks, for without risks we neither grow nor change. But like anything, change and growth take time, preparation takes time: I ask, how long? The Father says, “Trust me,” as He takes me into His loving arms and cradles me like a child. How great is this Love He has lavished on me? It is for this reason that I can trust; that I can be patient and yield to my Sovereign Lord who is in control.

“Life is not a series of problems to be solved, it is an adventure to be lived–and lived most fully when we surrender to His Sovereign hand and let Him inspire us with the unique passion He wants us to have!”
