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.

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.

I Do Have Something to Say...Who Do I Say It To?

Have you ever had a lot on your mind? A lot of stuff on your mind? You just want to talk about it but it is rather unimportant or if it is important it is only that way to you? That happens to me A LOT!!!! Well what do I do? I could type it on here but I worry you will start to read it and just stop reading!!! Ahhhh!!! Well I have a new solution. My daddy! Okay not my earthly dad. You know what I mean? I can say anything to God and well He listens!!! Shocker to me because half the time the stuff I talk to Him about...I would not even listen to!! Is that not funny to you though? It is to me! Well I just love talking to Him! I pray and everything, yet when I am having a problem or I really just want to talk, He is the person I go to!! I have been thinking about it and I am pretty sure to Him there is no stupid question or dumb problem. To me I think He wants to talk. And personally  it would be a lot harder for me if I did not think that way. Because who do I go to when there really is no one there to talk about a certain something. Plus good news, His line is always free! Do not even try and get me started on that because I have no idea how He is everywhere at once, can hear and see everything at once. All I can say is He is God and that is the way it is suppose to be. But thank goodness He can always hear me and be there for me because if He was not I know I would be a little...okay a lot more crazy then I am now and I would be a total mess. He is my one person I can always count on to be there for me...and He is the only person I am truly able to tell everything to. He really is like my dad. :) Woohoo for that!!!!
