I would say....

God is pretty amazing...


its God that validates me and gives me strength to live on
God draws us to Him despite our selfishness...

He puts all our tears in a bottle and He cares
about each and every tear
and how He loves those when we cry to Him


Praise God for His unending love...amazing grace

happy valentines day!

Valentines day can be kind of a dull holiday for me. My brother is courting a girl, so they celebrate. Then my parents like to celebrate. Me? Well, I'm getting together with a couple friends that are girls and we're going to Panera Bread (no dates here).

A month ago, I was kind of on the negative side saying I rather not celebrate and kind of felt sorry for myself because I am not getting any roses from any guy on the 14th.

But I have something to celebrate about. There is a love that is pretty incredible. God's love, which is an incredible gift. One of my favorite verses in Psalms says that His love is far as the east is from the west. That's pretty far. There is no end to God's love. Whether we are married, single, a kid, or widowed, God loves us. What is great about this love, is that we can celebrate it everyday--not just one holiday.

One of my favorite songs is:

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
(REPEAT)

And to me, God's gift is better then any roses...

just a real post...about my scared and angry self...and what I learned...

Scared and angry?!?! You're asking, Mic scared and angry? Yes, I get, scared and angry. In my inner most thoughts, I tend to angry at God for not providing things that I want and try to hurry up God and have things my own way so I can get what I want. I get scared that God won't provide my desires.

But, so I've learned, that God provides. He provides everything for our every need and our good. So therefore, I am to continue to trust Him. I've asked God to forgive me for getting angry and sorry for "trying to hurry God up" because everything is beautiful in God's time--not mine.

praise the Lord...
