Religion is dead

What's So Amazing About Grace

"Grace means there is nothing I can do to make God love me more, and nothing I can do to make God love me less.

It means that I, even I who deserve the opposite, am invited to take my place at the table in God's family."    

- Philip Yancey - What's So Amazing About Grace

His Little Girl

God is a Father, my Father, your Father. And like any father would give his child, He gives us little treats & gifts. It's reminders whispered to my heart that I'm His little girl, His princess. It doesn't matter my age, I still have the desire of that little girl in the dress, twirling, wanting to hear, especially from her father, that she's special, beautiful, his princess.

 

God does that. The little blessings, the silly little things, the things that say "yes I know you're there and I love you, you are special to Me" He does that. He wants to have that close intimate relationship with us.

 

And I love it.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:14-17

once upon a time

I went to the Dominican Republic... and I'm praying to go back.

seeking dreams

I’ve been learning a lot lately about the heart of God and His goodness, His faithfulness.

I’m learning about myself as I keep myself from bringing drastic change into my life just because I feel as though I need a change. To appease the immediate longing to “do something crazy” I’ve rearranged my bedroom, I know I know, I can get a little crazy. But in doing so I’ve “unearthed” bits of myself that I’ve hidden, and I don’t just mean the stuff that was shoved under my bed….

Despite a bit of a drastic change that really did take place in my life, God has filled me with a peace that I can’t explain. A joy found in the depths came forth through tears. And honestly it’s only possible to have joy through pain with Christ in your life.

But now I’m on the lookout, seeking God, rediscovering passions and dreams that I’ve forgotten about or placed on a shelf. I’m dusting them off and giving them another good look and prayer. And I’m seeing that it’s never too late to follow a dream…
