He's Always On Time

He's Always On Time 

Author: Me

 

Its not too late

Its not too early

Its right on time

Never doubt God when He's four days late

He's still the same

He's still on time

He knows what He's doing

Don't ever doubt

Keep trusting and believing

For God's never too late

And He's never to early

He's always right on time

 

Who You Are

For all the girls out there suffering from depression, self-esteem issues, guilt, and so on, this is for you. 

I'll admit it, I shed a few tears... ok, maybe a lot of tears.  No matter who you think you are, you are loved.

Remember, YOU ARE AWESOME!!! YOU ARE LOVED!!

Broken Girl by Matthew West

This song is for the broken girls, the ones that don't have much and have been torn down by the world.  God loves all the broken girls and is VERY able to heal them and make them whole again.

Praise His Name by Jeff and Sheri Easter

This is my all time favorite songs. When I first heard this song, I was 8 years old. It was right after I was adopted and my mom was driving me home from a session with the counselor. At the time, I was an angry, bitter little girl, mad at the whole world. This song came on the radio and I just started crying. Back then, I didn't cry, I never showed any emotion whatsoever unless it was anger. I just sat there and cried for a long time. This song just spoke to me, it gave me a little hope, a little reason to keep living. This song cracked my hard shell, beginning the long healing process. I hope this song speaks to you as much as it spoke and is still speaking to me.

What I Learned at Camp

Camp was AMAZING!!! Out of the 4 years I have been going, this was the best year EVER!!! Our theme was SATURATE.

Our decorations in the tabernacle

                         
Being saturated with God's Spirit so much that others can see it in us without us ever having to say a word. I will say, I came back very saturated with His Spirit!!
                                     
We also learned about loving the Lord with your heart, soul, mind and strength.
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5

Loving God with ALL your heart means giving Him everything.With God, its all or nothing. There is no half-heart with God. You MUST give Him ALL your heart, not just a part of it.

Loving God with all your soul means letting Him in and trusting Him. That means letting Him heal every wound you have. It means letting Him have complete control over your life, ALL the time, in every aspect of it.

Loving God with all your might, or strength, means submitting to His will. You have to give Him ALL your talents and dreams so that He can take them and create something bigger and better than you ever imagined. It means trusting Him no matter what and letting Him work through you.

God can use you, no matter what. He used Moses to free His people and all he had was a stick. Moses wasn't some great writer that had these amazing verbal abilities. No, he was just your average person, running from the mistakes he had made. God asked Moses "What is in your hand?" (Exodus 4:2) All God needs is what we have. He has equipped us with everything we need to fulfill His calling. 

 If we are to serve God with everything we have and be completely saturated, then we need to keep our minds pure. This goes hand in hand with loving God with all your heart. If our minds are taking in inappropriate things, how is God going to saturate us? When you go to watch that movie or read that book, ask yourself this question: "Would I be comfortable inviting Jesus to watch this with me? Would He be proud to sit with me and listen to that music?" If there is even a slight hesitation, then you shouldn't be watching, reading, or listening to it. We need to keep our minds pure because our minds control everything we do. Everything comes to the brain first and then penetrates to the rest of the body. So be very careful what you watch, see, read and listen to. It will effect you more than you know.

Sometimes we, as Christians and/or Pentecostals, tend to think that we are not strong enough. That we are not big enough to witness, to stand up. But think about this: One Holy Ghost filled young person can cast out any devil, but there is NO devil that can cast out God!! Tell me we aren't strong enough!! ONE Holy Ghost filled person is stronger than Hell itself!!!

So that was the basis of Senior Camp 2013!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!:)

Trusting God

 One of the hardest things for me as a Christian is trusting God. Because of my past (I will talk about soon), I find it very hard to trust anyone, especially God. Everyday, I have to remind myself that God is worthy of my trust, He is not like people from my past, He is a faithful God.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

I read this verse everyday to remind me to put my future in God's hands. We can't have a relationship with God and not trust Him 100%, it doesn't work. Take your best friend for example. You go everywhere with her (or him) and do everything she/he does. You ride in her/his car and tell her/him all your big secrets that no one else knows. Could you have done this without trust? If you didn't trust that your best friend was a good driver would you have let her/him drive you? No, you wouldn't. You let her/him drive you because you trusted that she/he knew how to drive, right? Trust is the key word, here. In your relationship with God, He is that best friend you hang with all the time, the one that drives you everywhere. If you don't trust that God knows how to drive, how are you going to get from one place to another? We have to trust God to take us where He wants us to go, to transport us from one place to another. We have to trust that He knows where He is taking us and precisely how to get there. I know, this is really hard, especially when your trust has been crumbled again and again. But I have found that it is worth the risk. God has NEVER let me down. Even when I think He has walked away, I find He is right there, waiting for me to acknowledge Him. I know how hard trust is to repair, its almost impossible, but if you trust Him, He will never break your trust. I know this from experience. So take a leap of faith and trust God. You will be amazed at how your life will change. It may not be easy and it may take time, but it is definitely worth every moment!!

No Vacancy

In Thursday's post I talked about making room for Jesus in your schedule. What about making room for Him in your heart? There are so many things taking up room in our hearts that we tend to fill it up with junk and then when Jesus comes knocking, we put up the "No Vacancy" sign. We fill up our hearts with worldly things  such as lust, jealousy, anger, bitterness, hatred etc. Soon, there is no room for good things.

                  

We have to take down the no vacancy sign, open the door and let love in. When we do this, there will no longer be room for hatred, anger, bitterness and lust. It all as to go when God enters the picture.
                                         

If you are are filled with anger, bitterness and hatred, take down the "No Vacancy" sign, let love come in and you will never be the same again. I did it and it completely changed me. I know He can do it for you.

                                                         GOD IS LOVE
