Rise Above

I wrote this little poem a few months ago, but I think it describes my New Year's Resolution perfectly.



Rise above
Your past mistakes
Rise Above
The pain of yesterday
Rise Above
And discover the freedom that lies beyond
Rise Above
The world’s standards
Rise Above
What others think
Rise Above
And discover the freedom that lies beyond
The hurt
The pain
The quilt
Beyond the past
Is a beautiful future
You can’t even begin to imagine
Rise Above
And be free

All those mistakes you made last year? All those fears that hold you back? Rise above them. This year, you are going to walk by faith with fearless determination.YOU ARE FREE!!!

2014, Here I am!!!

I'm Back and God is Good!!

It seems like it has been forever since I have last talked to you guys.  

It is soooo good to be back!!

A lot has been going on lately in my family. My Grandpa died last week and the week before that, my cousin died. As you can see, it has been crazy here.

 The last two weeks have been insane and out of control, but I know God has a plan in all of this. No matter what we face, God is right there with us. I've learned that these past few weeks. All of this kind of cam out of nowhere, but I know it is all part of God's will, I just have to trust Him.

God has everything in control.

GOD IS GOOD!!!

I will be leaving for North American Youth Congress in a week... I am SOOO excited!!! NAYC is in Louisville, Kentucky this year so it is a long drive from Oklahoma, but totally worth it! :)

So that is what has been going on in my life lately. My grandpa is where he wants to be, now.. Heaven. He is happy and peaceful. Yes, everyone will miss him, but he is home now and that's all that matters:)

:) :) God is doing something amazing here!!

Trusting God

 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51cQ7FzKrnL._SY300_.jpgOne 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!!
