Sometimes all we need to do is just rest in God. We strive, but His grace is enough.

Modern psalm from a healing heart

Can you take me away?
Where dirt becomes beauty
Ashes form love
And tears turn into rainbows?

Can you to take me to your kingdom?
Wrap me in fine linen
Wash me with your glory
And dry me with loving kindness?

Would I have a seat
Among your children
Whose eyes shine with love and grace
Whose hands hold the storm's embrace?

Would you carry me away?

Or would I be swept away into despair and pain
The stars arranged into darkness
And ashes turned into nothingness 

Would you carry me away?

If I fell into the deepest waters
Would you help me float
Would you help me swim
Or would I drown?

Would I become a butterfly?
Flying home
Or flying to the sun just to get burned?

Am I?

Hello again!

"Why do bad things happen to me? God must hate me." Stop saying this, if God hated you, he would have never came as a man to die for YOU, to forgive US of OUR sin. He resurrected and is alive, and he wants to give us victory. He wants to bless you with a beautiful life. Please open your heart to Him, he is giving you a chance. We are all sinners and we need him desperately. If you are angry with him, talk to him, tell him why. Don't hold it in, you will destroy yourself. At one point I hated him. I yelled at him one night in anger and agony, I told him how much I was suffering and how angry with him I was. I poured it ALL out before him, and I begged him if he was real and cared about me to please show me because I just couldn't believe. Please, it's simple, just see what happens  I'm here if you need prayer, please email me.

I have always loved you... Why won't you love me?

"Life changes dramatically when romance comes into our lives. Christianity changes dramatically when we discover that it, too, is a great romance. That God yearns to share a life of beauty, intimacy, and adventure with us. 'I have loved you with an everlasting love' (Jeremiah 31:3) God longs to be desired. God waits to be wanted. (Captivating 30).

"I am but a vapor, at best"

"Voice Of Truth"- Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'
"You'll never win"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!
"You'll never win"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
