i'm thinking...

I'm thinking, God wants me. He wants me and desires me to spend time with Him. Isn't that amazing? He loves me more then anything I could ever imagine. I need to reminded of that. I will admit. I, Micaela Evonne, at almost twenty-nine, needs all the reminder she can get.


Worthy is the Lamb, You are Lord God Almighty...

Praise God...

let every men be....

swift to hear...slow to speak...slow to wrath...

James 1:19-20 says: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."

This verse, I believe, is the basis of any relationship. If we follow these three principles of being slow to wrath, slow to speak, and slow to hear, our relationships with friends will be successful.

I learned that this week. I learned to watch my tongue of the things I say...listen to what people say and really think about and not get angered if I get offended at something.

wow it's March 27th and the family

Time has flown...and I've forgotten to blog. So I'm sorry. One thing God has taught me is to let Him work things out. I've also learned that my friendships and my family is very important to me. I can't imagine what life would be like without Mom and Dad and Brendan. The relationships I have now should be valued and treasured. Last year, I almost lost my brother because of his sickness. One thing God taught me is that relationships are about sacrificing my time and efforts for someone I love because you never know what will happen. My brother is okay now and we still have rough spots in our relationship but I have to remind myself that God gave him to me for a purpose and He's the only brother I got.

ever have a dissapointing week?

Well this week was...I mean disappointing news, events, and other things happened that caused stress...but can I say God is good despite difficulty? It's hard too. I will admit that. I want to ask God why He gave me a bad week. But who said life was easy? Why is life hard? I have a theory...I think life is hard because it will give us a new appreciation for Heaven. Heaven....wow...that's a wonderful place...no more pain, disappointment...streets filled with gold...and the lion and lamb will sit together...wow...

A friend of mine pointed it out a bad week, why life is hard gives us a NEED for Him. A need to rely on Him. I think that is vital in life because we can not do this life on our own...

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...
