Worship

The only time that I feel like I am on top of the world is when I am down on my knees with my hands lifted up in worship.

Thank You God for such moments.

Spending time with God II

Lately, I have been reading the book of John in the Bible a lot. I am absolutely amazed by God's gift to us, Jesus Christ, and His miracles. So far, am particularly amazed by chapter 4; the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman.

The MORE time you spend with GOD-- the more PEACE, joy, understanding and clarity you will have!

John 4: 23: But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers


 Dear God,

I pray that you may give me the grace and desire to be a true worshiper that will worship in spirit and truth. Please give me the desire to spend more time with You, and the desire to read Your word.

Thank You God!

Love,

Judy

MATURITY 101

The only man you can change is your 1 year old who wears diapers

Why would you want to be with a man that needs to be raised?

Leave him alone with God and let Him mature before you change your last name to follow a man that has no clue where he is going.

Spending Time with God I

God intimately resides deep in our hearts and He longs for us to share our hearts with Him. The One who loves you and calls you His wants you to confide in Him. What feeds your soul? What do you love and what don't you like?

This might sound crazy, but God actually loves to spend time with you. We often worry about how to spend time with God, struggling with how we can reach him. But what if it was the other way around?

What if God is the one longing for you -- to let Him into your world -- to explore together what moves your heart and feeds your soul?

Listen and hear His quiet, soft whispers to you.
{listen} "I am standing at the door and knocking. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come into your home and share a meal with you, and you with me." Rev.3:20

The door Jesus is standing behind is the doorway to your heart. And no one can open it except you.
The home Jesus longs to step into? It's the innermost place where you can just be you. To be known. To rest. Isn't that home?

The meal Jesus longs for you to share with Him?

Soul food. Will you let God refresh your soul with what uniquely refuels you (the most simplest things will do). And let go of what simply drains you (even the things that appear to be no-brainer to others)?

{confide} Uncover my heart and my story, Jesus. Help me let you back into those tender places where I can just be me. Help me to hear your whispers.

Don't Hold Back Yourself - Part II

To live life to the fullest, you'll need to ignore what other people think and be what you want to be. Wear what you want to wear. Say what you want to say (but please, don't offend anyone). Do what you want to do.

 Only it's not that easy, because whether we should or not, we do care what people think of us, we do care what people say about us. We even care what strangers might think of us. But what kind of life is this? A kind where we are all hidden behind a mask and we all want to get out but can't. 

It's a kind that should be demolished and replaced with a fair world full of joy, unprejudiceness, and health. But it's never that easy...

Here's some advice that I love: People are always going to talk - you may as well give them something FIERCE to talk about!
 

Don't hold back yourself! Do your thing!

 

 

 

Goodbye 2014! Thank You God for 2015!

 Another year, another 12 healthy eggs months, gone!


2014 has gone so fast. I have enjoyed some parts of the year (mostly those spent in class) and have had fun in others with friends and family. I am grateful to God for 2014.

No! Am not scared, neither am I complaining. Am only raising my point of concern... and I confess that it is not that easy for me to write out this and post it on my blog.

 I am very happy as an independent woman. I love being in control. I enjoy my freedom, a lot. However, I am concerned that time is moving so fast. Sometimes I wish that I could stop time from moving.

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but there are LOTS of  “have to’s” that we each live by.  Many of them come from “the experts”, from our parents, from our teachers, etc.  We are continually taught these hard and fast rules about life.  This is what you MUST do to be ….. a success. A good person. Responsible. Have a good life. Be a good christian. And on and on.  This is the path you MUST follow or you WILL destroy your life.  Now let me say that everything that we’re taught, isn’t bad.  Much is really good and we need to hold onto those things.  We especially hold on to the truth of God’s word, for it is ALWAYS TRUE.  And we need to live within the laws of our society as along as they don’t go against God’s higher order.

But there are things that we are taught, that are accepted as an absolute truth, but aren’t. ( Stolen from my friend, Alecia )

As I grew up, I remember being advised by my older relatives to keep off boys... that boys are bad, and that they are out to ruin girls' lives (I even believed that I could get pregnant by sitting on a chair that a boy had sat on :) ). I was also advised to study, study and study... and that education is the only thing that matters for a happy life. I faithfully followed their advice.

Now that am all grown up, I realize that education is not everything. There are other important things that can bring about happiness. I have come to this realization through observing my friends and former classmates that have taken the leap of faith to start families. No, am not jealous of them. I admire the happiness and contentment in their eyes.

 This is real, people! I never thought that I would get to a point in time where I would have concerns about getting children.

Anyway, for 2015, I have a resolution that I have never made before. I will allow myself to be vulnerable, to be free, and to dare to trust.

I pray that God walks with me in this unknown journey.

 God isn’t limited to operating within a certain system.  He is a creative God, with limitless creativity.  So when we walk with Him, the possibilities are endless!
