a curse.
Is a waste of breath.
I live in a desert. An unbearable desert during the summer. But its a good reminder...that even though I walk through the valley of the death and dying, my Lord is what strengthens me. He is what lifts me up...even in this desert where you can't avoid the hint of what hell might have been like if I wasn't saved by my merciful Jesus Christ.
I grab my painters palette. And i start adding paint. Just adding a dab of a couple colors. Then i start mixing. Creating these colors. Colors that just appear. Then I begin to wonder, what can I do with these colors. The possibilities are endless. I imagine what God thought when he started mixing the paint in his painters palette. Look around, and you'll see it. Don't look at the man made buildings that cover and the bright city lights that blur. But look at those things that are living and so beautifully painted by the greatest artist that there will ever be.
I am a princess.Not because I have money. Not because I own a plastic crown. Not even because my daddy told me that I am (besides my dad never called me a princess when I was little) Not because I was born of royal blood. But because I was bought by royal blood. Because I am literally Daughter of a King. When I accepted Christ in my life, I became a princess. The Lord is the King on High, and I am His child, an heir to the kingdom. A princess. But when I enter into the kingdom of Heaven, my crown will come off my head and be placed at the kings feet, because he is worthy to be praised forever and ever.
There isn't a centerpiece on our table. Sometimes we put one there for the holidays...but that's only sometimes. I drive by people's houses and see the Christmas lights the blow up Santa and snowmen decorations, and I wonder. Whats the point of all these decorations?? What is their purpose? When really, Christmas isn't about all this flashy lights, white-bearded fat man in a red suit who comes down your chimney (which is a really creepy concept by the way), or fancy wrapping. Its all about Jesus. I know that "Jesus is the reason for the season" sounds so cheesy, but really. Jesus was born and he came to die for our sins. This is something so amazing! And the celebration of the birth of our wonderful Savior has been masked by Christmas lights and centerpieces.
I see spencer, and he has pretty good posture....not too much slouching involved. But then there's Beret....now he might have a problem.
i could go anywhere. anywhere at all. But I want to go wherever you want me to go my Heavenly Father. wherever I can please you best. I will go. Send me there. Call me there. And I will go. I am your humble servant. I worship and adore you. you are my everything. You make me alive. I will go anywhere.
you are quite stunning. and I had the joy, for just a moment to say that that stunning man was mine. those words were only allowed to come from my mouth, for just a moment. now you're just a stunning man who will maybe someday be someone else's.
laughter. what a beautiful sound. it doesn't matter how it comes out. it could be soft or loud. it could be smooth or squeaky. it could be deep or light. it could be obnoxious or inaudible. it doesn't matter. laughter is beautiful. such a wonderful expression of happiness and joy created by God. that could lift your spirit and take you from the deepest places. laughter. so easy to do. yet it has so much power. how wonderful our God is to have created laughter for us.
there are rules to games. rules in monopoly. rules in scrabble. even rules in go fish. And they say there are rules to life. there are things that you should do and things that you shouldn't do. But I do not abide to what this world says I should and shouldn't do. I only go by what my Heavenly Father commands of me. What He says are the true rules.And they are the best rules to benefit our lives and bring glory to Him.
