A Long Time Gone...More to the future

I have not posted on my blog in so long! It truly is sad. I have added to my bucket list and done amazing things. I have direction in my life and I am truly excited for my future. I am looking at it with wide open eyes, as a child who is amazed with the amount of presents under the Christmas tree.

God has started to deal with me on some things. The thing He is really working on me about, right now, is that I am here for such a time as this. I was not born earlier, or later. I was born when I was supposed to be born, in the year I was born. My time, place and purpose is here and now. So I cannot be dwelling in the future and what my life will be like. My life is here and now with the people I love. Through hardships I have made it and I will continually keep going. No matter what the world throws at me with God on my side I am able to take on anything. Thank you God for that!! :) My God is truly amazing and wonderful.

Well this is a short little something till I get more into the swing of my blogging again.
Love and Blessings.

Long Time Gone and a Mistake

I have not written in what seem more like years. I guess I have failed the bucket list of writing at least once a week. And to tell the truth I have truly missed writing. So here goes for a new post.
I love God so much! But as I move closer to Him I feel I fall into some sort of temptation or sin. And as this happens I feel I have to start all over in my walk with God. Is this true? Do I really need to start completely over? I wish I had a clear a definite answer yet sadly I do not. All I know is that I have apologized and even if I am truly starting all over in my walk with God or not, I am giving my complete and total self to Christ. I pray that my words are His words and my actions are His actions.
Even though this entry is super short, I just had to get this out some how. And plus side I was able to get on my blog. And next time I am on I am hoping to have a few more items for my bucket list!

Love and blessings,
Nicole

Oh God, My God

Oh God, My God.

In life and death I want to glorify my King.

I want to shout Your praises with my last breath.

Oh God, My God.

To see the world on fire for You.

To look in amazement at your glory.

May my life be holy and pleasing to You,

A holy and pure sacrifice.

May my relationship with You never parish.

Oh God, My God.

Mighty and awesome to be praised are You.

Your mercy is new every morning.

My words could never be enough to tell You that I love You,

That You are Great and all powerful.

Oh God, My Go

It started out for randomness and ended with hope

So I really want to write something that is deep, thoughtful and very meaningful....but nothing is coming to mind. I want this blog to mean something to people. Well to the few that read it and I can not think of one thing. I could write about how I love the book Hebrews in the Bible.  I could talk for hours and hours on how I love my church.
The funny thing is...as I am writing this I came up with something to talk about.  Isaiah 1:18
The verse goes like this:
"Come know let us reason together," says the Lord "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
I love that verse! I love that it says that know matter what you have done you are always able to be washed clean! You are able to be forgiven! No matter what. And Jesus is saying this.
The fact is everyone has sinned. The bible says in Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
This means we all have made mistakes. Guess what no ones is perfect! We all make mistakes! And I can sure say I am glad to know that I am not the only imperfect person out there.
Here is the next shocker all sin to God is the same. This means the little child that tell his mom he did not eat the last cookie fib...is the same as Mary Bell the 10 year old killer. Believe it, even though it is a huge diffrence its true. My sin is just as bad as a gang members or a murder or a thief or a drug dealer. ALL SINS ARE THE SAME! Are you getting the point yet because I am sure I could go on with all these diffrent exmples.
What I am trying to say is that no man is better then another. Every man's sins are equal no sin greater then another. All sins are able to be forgiven if we lay them down at the alter. No sin is to great to ever be forgiven and it is never to late to be forgive.
Call on God and He will answer you He will be with you in trouble. He is always there and will never leave.
This is super great news!!!! All you have to do is repent, tell God you are truly sorry and mean it with your whole heart and you will be forgiven. Easy as that.

Well I felt like i should say that and I did. :)
Think about the words that were writen. They do mean something. And there is a loving God with arms wide open waiting for you.
Love and Blessings

What Does Not Kill You Makes You Stranger!

I am going to bet that you have most likely heard someone say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Recently I had a friend add to the very end a lovely addition which was, "or just kills you." That is pretty encouraging don't you think?! Well I was thinking, God will never give us more then we ca handle right?! Ummm does He not see me almost bending down at a 90 degree angle? I can't lie, with stress and the pressures of life I don't think I could take anymore....but wait...right when you think you are good and it seems that the sun is starting to shine through the clouds...something new comes up!!! Right smack in the face! Not very encouraging I know, trust me. But here is the encouraging part!! God wants us to give Him the things that are burdening us, the things that have us bent over at a 90 degree angle. Our daddy wants to take that stuff that is weighing you down away for you! Great news right!? The answer is right! Now if you are like me you have to work on that note. I am learning that I need to give God the things that are weighing me down, the stuff that seems to be breaking me. I need to give it to Him. In the past that has not been the easiest thing to do. I think that it is easier to keep that heavy load for my self to carry and well I think it may be starting to show. Which I can not lie, its not a good thing.

So my challenge is for you to try and start laying your burdens, and the stuff that is weighing you down, at the thrown of our Heavenly Father. I myself am going to hold myself accountable to this challenge because only God knows just how badly I need to.

Love and Blessings
