A Blessing in Disguise!

I have been searching and seeing how God's plan is being lived out. I look back and see how the hard and difficult things in the past years of my life are more than a blessing to my life. Yes at the time I was flooded with emotion and anxiety. Uncertainty and doubt but I was unaware of the plan the God intended for my life. I was distracted by seeing only the negative things. I am making a commitment to myself to try and look at the positive aspects of each situation that I am confronted with. New beginnings, new situations, new relationships, old and new friendships, new schedules, new perspectives on life.... I want to be positive. To know and trust that God will carry me through every situation if I choose to see the benefit or outcome or not. That's why its called FAITH! To
Fully
And
Intently
Trust
Him.
I choose that kind of Faith... in every situation. God you have my complete heart and all my love. I give you my life because I know that you have given your life for me... to know that you will continue to bless me with mercy and love even though I deserve it nothing from you. Thank God for that. For His beautiful Love for US!

Change at the Drop of a Hat

I got into Touro University's Nursing School in Henderson, Nevada. My heart is overjoyed to see God answer prayers within my life. God is truly giving me the desires of my heart... to the core depth of things that I didn't even know about. Nursing school: I have been desiring to be a nurse for years now. I have been praying about getting into nursing school, been prayed for by those who love me, been encouraged, discouraged by past rejection letters... but the ultimate picture and plan that is visible now, makes me want to get on my knees and praise God for what He is doing. I had to completely surrender everything to God. The decision to give Everything was given up while I was in Africa. I came to the point of complete realization that I have to trust everyday, in every situation, in all things in the Lord. I can't do this alone. I don't want to do this alone. As I look back on the past rejection letters and past things that have occurred...I am in complete surrender and vulnerability. God knew exactly what I needed to do within my life, within my spiritual life, and within my relationship before I got into nursing school. I needed to learn how to do devotions consistently and in a way that I can meet with the Lord so that my spiritually life would grow and not be stagnate during nursing school. I needed to go to Africa and be encouraged to serve those around me in my life here at home. Another thing that is an answer to prayer is A man: who loves the Lord, Loves me, Adores who I am, Likes the little things about me, and respects me and lifts me up in the Lord. That is beautiful. Praise God for that. He is encouraging to me on multiple levels and our friendship is centered on Christ which gives our relationship a strong foundation. I have been praying for a man of God who desires to be a better person everyday. Who desires to live a life that is honorable and respectful. He is a good man. I am grateful for the Lord's hand in my life and the many things that are happening. I look forward to seeing what God has for my life in these next few months and years.

Chains Are Broken

Chains are sometimes present in our minds... chained to an idea that we have placed there. Not only have we locked that chain to the thought but we also keep our minds focused on it until we forget completely how it even got there. Am I waiting on the Lord to come and letting His glory fall on my life? Am I keeping my mind shackled to a worldly desire that i placed there? I don't want these chains of burden and of separation. I want to be one with Christ, desiring what He desires for my life, striving to be that woman of God who shines His light. I want to break these chains from bondage and allow God to be revealed and let my life be that of an ultimate sacrifice. I surrender my life completely. I am waiting on the Lord today, I am supposed to hear back from the nursing school soon. I give God the key to all the locks I have put on my mind and on my heart, I only want what He has for my life. I want to stand at his feet with my arms wide and face tilted up asking him to pick me up, to comfort me in such a way that a little girl would run to her father...yearning to be close to HIM. I want to place my head on his chest and know that he is soaking up the intimate time that we are sharing. I want to give him that feeling of love and the feeling of being wanted from my life.
