1 Peter 5:7
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you"
Constant state of worry, nervousness, scared of the future because you do not know what is going to happen in the future, anxiety. In my own life I have decided to give up my worries and my cares to God. I am not saying that I never worry, but I have peace. I am not enough, God is working through me! I have to place all my hope in him, every ounce of trust has to go to him, and oh my goodness the peace that I find, when I know it is not up to me!
If I am searching for my own happiness in other people, I have taken the wrong path. If my source of happiness is a person, or activity, or any other thing that won't last, my journey will be so much harder, and less fulfilling than it would be with God.
I am really just typing my thoughts here, these posts are not suppose to be "lessons" to anyone who might be reading them, I want to document my growth. I want to look back on these posts and see what was really on my heart.
And tonight, I have a lot on my heart, there are so many people around me who are hurting, families who are hurting! There is so much pain, and when I just try to think about all of it, it overwhelmes me.
If I don't cast all of this anxiety on God it will probably like literally kill me.
Dramatic I know.
But oh my goodness, there are so many people who are hurting, I just have a lot of people on my heart tonight, and many of them are very close to me. Be praying for me, and these people in my life, I know that I am where I am for this very reason. God has given me this heart for the hurting, I am glad that I have had the people around me that I have who have raised me the way that they have! I am so blessed to have this relationship with Christ, I am excited about growing with him everyday!

Great peace.
Song of The Day
There’s not a prayer I’ve prayed
That You haven’t heard
Not a tear I’ve shed
That You didn’t feel
You’re the God who comes to raise the dead
I know You’ll raise me up again
I know You’ll raise me up again
Who can praise You from the grave
to see the life you gave
Just to see the life you gave
Just to see the life you gave
Every fear in me You’ve put to rest
It’s the song sing I bring
Of Your faithfulness
And every tear has led my feet to stand
Where the ocean meets the land
Where the ocean meets the land
Sink or swim I’m diving in
Where the river starts rushing
Where my heart starts beating
For the rhythms of the testing
And the songs of the trials
I will lift a cry up to You
Sung with hope inside my eyes
Sink or swim I’m diving in
To the passion of Your heart
Where love starts
I lift my hands if my hands fail me
I’ll bend my knees if my knees grow weak
I’ll raise my voice and sing, I’ll sing
I know that You love me
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it to You God
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it to You God
That You haven’t heard
Not a tear I’ve shed
That You didn’t feel
You’re the God who comes to raise the dead
I know You’ll raise me up again
I know You’ll raise me up again
Who can praise You from the grave
to see the life you gave
Just to see the life you gave
Just to see the life you gave
Every fear in me You’ve put to rest
It’s the song sing I bring
Of Your faithfulness
And every tear has led my feet to stand
Where the ocean meets the land
Where the ocean meets the land
Sink or swim I’m diving in
Where the river starts rushing
Where my heart starts beating
For the rhythms of the testing
And the songs of the trials
I will lift a cry up to You
Sung with hope inside my eyes
Sink or swim I’m diving in
To the passion of Your heart
Where love starts
I lift my hands if my hands fail me
I’ll bend my knees if my knees grow weak
I’ll raise my voice and sing, I’ll sing
I know that You love me
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it to You God
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it
Give me a song to sing
And I will sing it to You God
One of my favorite songs, really read the words, listen to how beautiful it is, let it sink in. I will lift my hands!
- I am thankful for my youth director Ashley, I am thankful that I can call her and she will always listen to whatever situation I have been placed in. She holds me accountable. I am thankful that she is in my life, I know God has reached me through her many times.
