July 09, 2005I\'m home and I had a blast!!!! Anyone miss me!? lol!! jk! ;) love ya\'ll lots!! Also... I know this will be long, but I\'d like to share with ya\'ll something I read outta the book Captivating:
God\'s Heart For Relationship
The vast desire and capacity a woman has for intimate relationships tells us of God\'s vast desire and capacity for intimate relationships. In fact, this may be the most important thing we ever learn about God- that he yearns for relationship with us. \"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God\" (John 17:3). The whole story of the Bible is a love story between God and his people. He yearns for us. He cares. He has a tender heart. (Verses) Isa. 49:14-15,18; Jer. 24:7; Matt. 23:37.
What a comfort to know that this universe we live in is relational at its core, that our God is a tenderhearted God who yearns for relationship with us. If you have any doubt about that, simply look at the message he sent us in Woman. Amazing. Not only does God long for us, but he longs to be loved by us. Oh, how we\'ve missed this. How many of you see God as longing to be loved by you? We see him as strong and powerful, but not as needing us, vulnerable to us, yearning to be desired. But as I wrote in Wild at Heart, \"After years of hearing the heart-cry of women, I am convinced beyond a doubt of this: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. How oculd we have missed this? From cover to cover, from beginning to end, the cry of God\'s heart is, \"Why won\'t you choose me?\" It is amazing to me how humble, how vulnerable God is on this point. \"You will find me,\" says the Lord,\"when you seek me with all your heart\" (Jer. 29:13) In other words, \"Look for me, pursue me- I want you to pursue me.\" Amazing. As Tozer says,\" God waits to be wanted.\"
Can there be any doubt that God wants to be sought after? The first and greatest of all commands is to love him (Mark 12:29-30, Matt. 22:36-38) He wants us to love him. To seek him with all our hears. A woman longs to be sought after, too, with the whole heart of her pursuer. God longs to be desired. Just as a woman longs to be desired. This is not some weakness or insecurity of the part of a woman, that deep yearing to be desired. \"Take me for longing,\" Alison Krauss sings,\"or leave me behind.\" God feels the same way. Remember the story of Martha and Mary? Mary chose God, and Jesus said that that is what he wanted. \"Mary has chosen what is better\" (Luke 10:42) She chose me.
Life changes dramatically when romance comes into our lives. Christianity changes dramatically when we discover that it, too, is a great romance. That God yearns to share a life of beauty, intimacy, and adventure with us. \"I have loved you with an EVERLASTING love\" (Jer. 31:3). This whole world was made for romance- the rivers and the glens, the meadows and beaches. Flowers, music, a kiss. But we have a way of forgetting all that, losing ouselves in work and worry. Eve- God\'s message to the world in feminine form- invites us to romance. Through her, God makes romance a priority of the universe. So God endows Woman with certain qualities that are essential to relationship, qualities that speak of God. She is inviting. She is vulnerable. She is tender. She embodies mercy. She is also fierce and fiercely devoted. As the old saying goes, \" Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.\" That\'s just how God acts when he isn\'t chosen. \"I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not share your affection with any other god!\" (Ex. 20:5 NLT). A woman\'s righteous jealousy speaks of the jealousy of God for us. Tender and inviting, intimate and alluring, fiercely devoted. Oh yes, our God has a passionate, romantic heart. Just look at Eve.
*Ya\'ll...............all I can say is WOW!!!! I\'m amazed to see how God is constinlty teaching me things and having me gain a deeper understanding!! PRAISE GOD!!! God.....I want to be fiercely devoted to you!!! And you alone!! God you\'re the only one who can make my heart skip a beat and have me stop breathing all at the same time!! So many times have I stood in awe of you...and to me that\'s the best place in the world!! In front of you....amazed at all You are!!! Many my heart only belong to you!! May I choose you!! And forever hang on to that!! I love you!! Thank you!!.......Ya\'ll who will you choose?! A God who is always trying to woe you!? A God that is hopelessly romantic and knows the deepest desires of your heart...who holds on and PROTECTS (doesn\'t destory) your dreams!? Or something that will not last...to only leave you brokenhearted?! That\'s another awesome thing about God....even if you choose the other...He still waits for you to choose Him! And He\'s there placing your brokenheart back together!! Wow....HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!!!

I wanna be beautiful......

June 25, 2005Well, I just got done reading \"my heart\" aka Hope\'s phusebox site, and the song that she post is one of the best songs for a girl to hear!! It\'s by Bethany Dillon and it\'s called Beautiful! But it\'s an awesome song of how we try to be outwardly beautiful by the world\'s standards...but she fails! And she\'s tired! She wants to try a new kind of beauty! And that\'s the beauty that she recieve from Christ!!
I was talking to Michael last night, and we got on the subject of how girls/women present themselves! How we dress, how we flirt, how we get guys attention and how we keep their attention...how we do WHATEVER we as girls do! And something that Jared Herd...a guy, girls.....said at BigStuf camp was, \"Girls are so so valuable(sp)!! And if a guy doesn\'t accept you.....he doesn\'t derserve you!\" Amen to what he says!! Girls.....you mean so much more than that!!! I asked Michael last night if he knew why girls did what they did, he kinda did, but not really! Which I think most guys don\'t, maybe not all but most! And I told him, because that\'s what the world tells us how we should look to be beautiful! We see these women, small, beautiful, and they get men\'s attention! And as girls, attention is very big to us!! We might not act like it, but it is! And how else is a girl who doesn\'t know that she\'s worth something, doesn\'t know what God thinks of her....how else is she suppose to be beautiful! And I think that\'s way I love to talk to girls around my age so much! I\'ve been there! I\'ve felt exactly how girls feel! I think every girl has!!! I\'m not saying girls, to stop wearing make-up, to put on sweat-pants and a sweat-shirt....to never let a guy pay you any attention! All I\'m saying is that you....yes, you....are beautiful just the way you are! God didn\'t make a mistake when He made you! Do you think that a God that paints the sky a different way everyday could make a mistake! A God so creative could do such a thing!? If you do, why don\'t you ask Him and talk to Him about that! He\'d love for you to know the REAL Him! Not the one that are lies about Him! Girls...I know it\'s hard....we fight and fight to be beautiful outside!! But can anyone agree with me that the world will never be happy with the way you are?! You have to keep changing with how the world changes! And no one will ever be happy enough with the way you are!! Why make yourself tired?! I know what your thinkin\'.....well how else am I suppose to get someone!! I\'ve gotta hold there attention! And all I have to say to that is.....well, I hope someday you\'ll realize that if you have to hold his attention with the way your body looks....he\'s not good enough for you! You\'re a treasure....find a guy that\'ll treat you like one! They are out there! I promise!! Find a guy that would think your beautiful with no make-up and in sweat-pant and sweat-shirt! That loves you at your lowest of lows and when you look you\'re worst! Someone that sees and loves you for how you are in the inside!! That\'s the kinda man you wanna wait for!! And I know that all girls want a guy like this....but sometimes it\'s hard to let go of what you have! Let go girls.........fall in love with the perfect man.....Jesus! The one who never says the wrong things, does the wrong things and is always ready to talk! That\'s another thing! Don\'t hold guys to being perfect...I know I\'ve done that! They aren\'t! They make mistakes just like us!! If you hold them to that...your in for a big letdown! But God will send you someone when the timing is perfect....are you willing to wait?!

Let what we do in here, fill the streets out there....Let us dance for YOU!

June 22, 2005\"I\'m madly in love with You, yes I\'m madly in love with You..........Let what we do in here fill the streets out there.....Let us DANCE FOR YOU, let us DANCE FOR YOU!\"

I love this song!!! Why? I dunno! Just do, I suppose! I love having this image of us going out into the streets and dancing for Jesus! Like this big party! Hey here\'s an awesome thought......all the christians dancing around, drawing peoples attention, and having people drawin in to join! Now, not literly! Just an image! That our lives as christian should be this big dance for Jesus! A party for Him! Wow! Maybe this only makes sense to me...oh well! So I haven\'t been up to much lately! The love of my life came over the other night cuz it was her birthday! That would be the famous Lauren Nicdao!!!! And it was fun! At least for me! (sorry babe, I wish I could\'ve done more for ya!) :D I\'ve been working a lot, which is all good and well because I\'m very thankful for them being so helpful and willing to make sure I go to YWAM! By the way...ya\'ll pray for the whole YWAM thing, I\'ll write and explain more later about all of this, but God has opened a door for me to either go to the DTS in Kona or in Samoa! And I\'m just trying to hear God\'s voice in where He\'s taking me! And pray that my parents would have a peace to the place I\'m suppose to go! And that God will speak to them as well!
Well kids....I\'m gonna go! Hope all is well with ya\'ll! Take Care and stay strong!! I love ya\'ll!!!

James 1:2-4
\"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.\"
Hewbrews 10:35-39
\"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, \'He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.\' But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.\"

PRAISE THE ONE........
