your words have power.

What do I mean by this. Well, a wise man (Solomon!)once said that "life and death lie in the power of the tongue" There is an incredible amount of power in your testimony. God has done such a unique work in your life but I don't believe that it's supposed to stop with you. One way that the enemy tries to isolate us is just by making us think that we are the only ones struggling with________ and that isolation can be instrumental in keeping us in that cycle of sin. I think that God brings us through certain things because he knows that by us sharing them it will be an encouragement and a blessing to somebody else and even give them the courage to share what they've been through or even ask for prayer for what they are struggling with. Sometime I will share my whole testimony but seeing as I'm supposed to be sleeping/or doing homework, I gotta make this short.



My 2nd pastor(basically), Matt Chandler of The Village Church in Flower Mound, TX encourages the members of his congregation to share what the Lord has been doing in their lives and then they video tape them and show them to the congregation as a means of encouragement. Well, being a long distance member (not really but I feel like I am because I have listened to HUNDREDS of his sermons) I was overjoyed to find that these videos were online! You can find them here and there are so many to choose from and ALL of them are encouraging.

And they overcame them by the blood of the Lamb and by the words of their testimony...-Revelation 12:11
Here are some special ladies whose testimonies have blessed my life:
mmmmhhhhmmmm cute.

Beautiful Letdown.

Image
It was a beautiful let down When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt It was a beautiful let down The day I knew That all the riches this world had to offer me Would never do. In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in, Until I found out I don't belong here . (Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot) Sometimes, I am so easily distracted. Have you ever noticed that it's when you are doing something important, like homework, chores, QUIET TIME WITH THE LORD, that all of a sudden your mind gets filled with all these "super important" (not really, though) things that just skip a million levels on the priority ladder? Since when was checking the weather more important than seeking the face of God early in the morning? The answer is never; it's never more important. I just get distracted from what is important. This past weekend, I heard something incredibly profound. A pastor said that as we grow in fa

It's ok to not be ok.

I’m not alright, I’m broken inside {broken insiiiiiiiide} If you grew up listening to positive, encouraging, K-LOVE, you likely recognized those words from a Sanctus Real song (and if you don’t, worry not, you aren’t really missing anything). While sometimes I’d like to think that I’ve evolved into this authentic, cool Christian who is obviously too cool for mainstream Christian music, sometimes the Lord chooses to humble you by making you cry with a cheesy Stephen Curtis Chapman ballad circa 1999! I can’t explain it, it just happens sometimes. At any rate, this song has been speaking so deeply to my heart, because it has been a rough season for me lately. I think that a lot of times as Christians, we equate living the “good Christian life” with having everything look good on the outside for people. For me personally, I think that my life probably looks pretty awesome from the outside, and for a while, I was okay with people thinking that it was an accurate portrayal of how I’m
