Hallelujah

Whatever's in Front of Me

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."

 I want you to listen to this song before you read the post today. 

"Hallelujah"

Who can hold the stars
And my weary heart?
Who can see everything?
I've fallen so hard
Sometimes I feel so far
But not beyond your reach
I could climb a mountain
Swim the ocean
Or do anything
But it's when you hold me
That I start unfolding
And all I can say is
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah
The same sun that
Rises over castles
And welcomes the day
Spills over buildings
Into the streets
Where orphans play
And only you can see the good
In broken things
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah



In my own life I know from experience that when I am seeking Christ in everything that I do, everything else will fall into place. God see's the good in my broken life and when I seek him he will make something beautiful out of me. My walk with Christ has to come above my grades, my boyfriend, my job, my friends, and as silly as it sounds, Christ has to be above social media. In my own life and I know in so many other girls my age, we spend so much time on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. It is amazing to think what would happen in my community if every bible verse that was posted was truly lived out. I want to see these big things happen. I just think about how many times a day I look at my phone to check new posts on Instagram or Snapchat, I'm sure if I actually counted it would be some crazy large number. I want to seek God more than I seek Instagram, I know it might seem silly, but it is just honest, and if you do not use social media than you might not even understand what I am talking about, but if you do use them, you will probably know what I am talking about. Really just something to think about. Social media can be an amazing tool to reach many people that you would not normally see or talk to. In my own life I am trying to use my social media to honor God. I am really trying to evaluate myself and my motives for posting things. I want to seek Christ above all else. He is so awesome, when I am seeking him, literally everything in my life will fall into place, and when things get difficult with my family or friends I will be able to respond with more Godly wisdom than I would ever be able to do on my own. This song blesses me so much when I listen to it. It reminds me that whatever is going on in my life, through all the trials and through all the heartache, when God is holding me, when I seek him, everything will start unfolding. Somedays I feel like I have fallen so hard, and I feel so far from God, but I can never go to a point where he cannot reach me. He will always be able to reach me. In my life there are so many people that are close to me that I want God to impact, and I have the great honor of being one of the many people that God might use to reach people. But what God has been showing me lately is that I will never be able to help anyone else, unless he helps me first. I have to seek God above everything and then I will be able to help others.


"My friend sang this song in front of our church right after she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. She had a beautiful voice and loved to worship God. She was steadfast in her walk through her battle with cancer. She always hoped for healing but trusted God. She changed my own walk with the Lord so much through her faith in God. She went home to be with the Lord Friday. She touched so many lives. I love you Rasha. Thank you"


This is a youtube comment from three years ago, on the song Hallelujah. I look at my own life and think about the trials that have been placed in my life right now. I want to use what is right in front of me. I do not have to go over seas or even to another town to make a difference for Christ. I have been planted right here in this town, in my family, school, church, and my job. I WILL make an impact here. I will not let this amazing opportunity pass by. I want people around me,and in my school to see what God has done in my life, and that is why I will not be silent. I refuse to let this pass, I will not let it pass. This woman, Rasha, was seeking Christ above all else in her life, and impacted this younger lady writing the comment, and impacts me reading it tonight.  That is why I shared it with you. I do not know why this comment touched me so much, but I knew that God wanted me to include it tonight.

Seek God first. Sometimes that means you have to refocus everything else, move things around. Do what you have to do. Because nothing else is this important. I will be praying for you this week!

Today I am thankful that I can go to God first in my life with my problems and he will always make me feel better, I am so thankful for my quiet time with God.
