Time flies


Whoa, how time flies!! Been real busy with school and EXTREMELY FRIDAY!! Today in my email I got the coolest message from Not Ashamed Youth. It totally inspired to step out in faith and stuff, here it is.

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57:10

I was sitting in my office one night on dusk looking out of my window and there was this beautiful rainbow, incredible rainbow, so vivid, right in front of me. I could only see the arch going up, I couldn't see where it was going, I tried to look, I tried to find it but I couldn't see the rest of the rainbow.

The colours were just so intense and vibrant and then as I watched, at that moment the colour of the sky turned to the most radiant pink glow, it was absolutely incredible. As I sat there gazing out at this beautiful sight the thought came into my mind of God's promise, Gods promise to us (Genesis chapter 9). Sometimes God lays things on our hearts, His word, it may be a dream, it may be a plan for our lives and like the rainbow, I couldn't see where the rainbow was going, where it ended up but that sense of God just saying here is my promise, step out in faith, follow that, you don't need to know where it is going, where you will end up, you just need to trust in Me, My Word and My promise, for I am faithful.

That is true faith, trusting in the unseen, trusting when you can only see a glimpse of the rainbow, not knowing where Gods promise, Gods dream, Gods plan for your life will take you but just trusting in Him. What is God laying on your heart? What is God laying on your heart and saying “trust Me, step out and trust Me”? You may have no idea where it will take you and where you will end up but as you walk through this week be asking the questions, "God what are you wanting me to step out in?” “What are you laying on my heart to trust You in?” And, “what are the plans You have for my life?”

Bless ya heaps.

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57:10

Hope that will inspire you as much as it did me! Yea, i think that sometimes we just totally forget that, we forget that God is there and actively working!! Its amazing when you actually think about it, Bout God, and how much he LOVES us, how active He is in our lives with out us ever realising, and how much He wants to get to KNOW us!! Yea, I guess i cant comprehend the full extent of His amazing and gracious love!!

No hair!

I had a crazee dream the other night; what happened, was that I found out I had cancer and I lost all my hair and stuff but the scary bit about it, was the realisation how vain we as humans are concering our hair! I mean, think about we hold so much tribute to our hair! When a girl goes to a ball the first thing we think about is how are we going to have our hair? Our hair style could make or break an outfit! Its that important! So I guess, we should have a lot of sympathy and epathy to those who lose their hair due to cancer or whatever diseases cause hair loss. We may never truely understand what tehy go through. We take our locks for granted but think so highly bout them.. makes you think huh?

Princess

Princess: Psalm 45

10 "Listen O daughter, consider and give ear;
forget your people and your father's house.
11 The King is enthralled by your beauty;
honor him for he is you Lord.
12 The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift
and men of great wealth will seek your favour.
13 All glorious is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.
14 In embroidered garments she is lead to the King;
her virgin companions follow her
and are brought to you.
15 They are lead with joy and gladness;
they enter the palace of the King."

*************************************************************************************************

vs 10: God is talking DIRECTLY to us! We should think about what He is saying and really listen and obey. Forget what our friends think about us and not worry bout our parents or leaving them because God will take care of them.

vs 11: God is the KING and is in AWE of our beauty! We don't have to go on crazy diet programmes or wear tonnes of make-up because we are already far more beautiful than anyother. God thinks we are beautiful and amazing so therefore we should respect and obey Him. We are to put Jesus first.

vs 12: A promise that we will recieve GIFTS and BLESSINGS. We are not inadequate because Jesus is generous. Guys who are worthy of our attention will seek us, try to please us. "Dont settle for less than God's best."

vs 13: The Princess's chamber; her secret place is her purity, her virginity. It shines through her, and glorifies her. In the same way our thoughts and actions should be pure and it will shine through us. Purity sits on her like a gown interwoven with gold, so our purity- thoughts and actions should be.

vs 14: God will give us what we need and it will be beautiful. His garments He has given us is the SALVATION of Jesus, we too can wear the garments of perfection! This verse also talks about our friends. They follow the same purity and are filled with the same beauty. "Birds of a feather flock together" and together we can lead each
other on our Christian walks.

vs 15: Our purity, assurance of Salvation and purpose aswell as our daily living will bring us joy and gladness. We will be FILLED with it! Because we know Jesus we may
enter the palace of the King; which is HEAVEN! To enter the King's palace is also to enter His presence. What a joy it was; it says they did this gladly! and it made them glad; it was not a burden.

So to all you girls out there: you are ALL PRINCESS'S!! The King is enthralled by your beauty, so never feel fat or worthless ever again! Know that you are LOVED by a magnificent, powerful and glorious KING! He wants to get to know YOU. Just let Him, you deserve better than what you are living for at the moment!
