Psalm 139

A friend of mine (you know who you are) brought up Psalm 139 in regards to the "Does God know the future?"

Go ahead have a looksy! Hee hee

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, is it not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Happy 20th Birthday to ME!

Well as of today I have entered adulthood...quite frankly I don't really feel that different. I've been worried lately that I'm turning 20 and that I should have accomplished so much more but I've come to the conclusion that although I may be 20, I'm still young and still have so much more to experience. God's just getting started with me and he will do imeasurably more than I could ever ask or imagine with my life!

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared for us to do." Ephesians 2:10

Just on a side note, I've been reading through the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and the more I read about Jesus the more I want to be like him. Growing up I've always known, the stories about Jesus birth, death, and resurrection, but there's so much more to him than that. He was a real man, with real feelings, and faced real life situations of temptation. And because of him, I am free.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."Galatians 5:1

Yeah..so..it's late and this blog is all over the place....it kinda made sense in my head..lol.

I Can Only Imagine

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

Awake in a Dream

I never thought,
That one day you'd be come a part of my life
Still you were always with me
When I lay my head down at night
Could you really be here with me?
Has my wish come true tonight?

Cuz now, now it seems
I'm wide awake in this dream
And I'll do, I'll do anything
To stay here forever
And if this is a dream
I'm nopt going to wake up
But if I'm awake I won't close my eyes again

Though I feel like I'm flying
I'm sure my feet are still on the ground
Open my eyes, and it's amazing
How my world has changed when I look around
And it's like I found a road straight to heaven
The road has lead me right here to you

Cuz, now, now it seems
I'm wide awake in this dream
And I'll, I'll do anything
To stay here forever
And if this is a dream
I'm not going to wake up
But if I'm awake I won't close my eyes again

Everyhting I'll ever need,
Is standing right here in front of me
You've given more thatn I'll ever ask for
Now all I can do
Is give forever to you?

Cux now, it seems
I'm wide awake in this dream

Thoughts for today...

At school right now...still have a while before class. For some reason that discussion on does God know everything has really gotten to me these past few days. I honestly don't really know how i feel about it. I know God is omnicient (knowing all things in the past and present) and I have no doubts that he has a plan for everyone, but the part that gets to me is that we can stray from his plan, and not do what he wants for our lives. That is a constant fear in my mind, that I'm not doing what God wants me to do. Right now I don't knwo of a place in the Bible where it says that God know's our future. He know's everything about us, and he knows what we might do..but does he actually know what we will do?
In no way is this discussion really questioning my faith.....it's just really making me think, and making me want to know the answers.

Any thoughts on this, or scripture would be great!

Blessings,

Someone's watching over me

I found myself today
I found myself and ran away
But something pulled me back
A voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't breakdown
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

I've seen that ray of light
and yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment
To my dreams

So I won't give up
No I won't breakdown
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

It's doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll find
It only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

Discussion question....

Yesterday at school my friends and I got into a really deep discussion over two questions:

1: Does God know everything?
2: Does God know the future? and is there biblical evidence to back it up?

I'm not going to give my opinion on this yet...but feel free to leave a comment on what you think.

Blessings,

Still

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

Only Hope

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you are my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

I give you my apathy
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

Who am I?

So many times in life we find ourselves asking "Who amI?" Some people spend their whole lives trying to find the answer to that question. When I was asked to respond to this question the other day I said, "I'm a student trying to figure out what to do with my life." I probably responded that way because it was my NT Professor asking, but then he replied back...."Who would Jesus say you are?" I really had to think about it, and to be honest I'm still thinking about it.

Who would Jesus say you are?

it's been a while....

Ok, so it's been a while since I've updated this thing. my life has been somewhat crazy since exams and then Christmas but i think things are now getting back to normal.

Today is actually a bit significant for me, I have so much to thank God for! As of today I have been single for a whole year and God has blessed me so much that I can even begin to describe it. As much as sometimes this topic is a struggle for me, trusting God with this area of my life, God has blessed me with so many amazing friendships to support me and pray for me and I can't thank God enough for those people. Right now I want to say thankyou to those people,KH, CM, ER, EH, LC, JW, PM, CT, RC, DH and DW I love you all and I can't express in words how much your friendship means to me.

I have a few thoughts on some other subjects but for those you must stay tuned..hee hee!
