When God moves love



Want to know something?
God is a shepherd.
Want to know something else?
You are a sheep
Want to realize
something?
Sheep are stupid.



As God being our shepherd he knows how to take care of us...he knows that if a sheep is going away he can break a leg to carry it, causing the sheep to fully rely on the shepherd.
I'm not saying that God will physically break your legs to carry you (he could) but I am saying that God loves you enough to break you so you will love him more.

Have you has suicidal thoughts? wanted to run away? get mad at life? think to yourself that you are not beautiful? how about that things seemed to get w
orse every day? or that you try and try to hear God but you keep calling out and hear no answer?

God loves you
it's simple
its true
REAL LOVE HONEY
he will not give up on you unless you always say no.
but he is there watching and waiting for you to love him back.





You are worth life!
how do i know?
someone DIED for you so you
can live?
how are you feeling now?
It's not a joke, he really did die for you
why?
because YOU ARE WORTH IT!
and all that he asks in return is that you will love him and follow what he asks...
not to hard?
it wont be easy but you will be full of joy from him knowing you succeed in God!
p.s. Jesus Christ, God's only son, died for you

I was doing my devotions and to say the least it moved me.
i was going through a tough time and trying to hear God, being depressed, wanting to run away...and everything else.
I chose to seek God
I got nervous and scared, but that showed me i REALLY needed to seek God.
I read in the Bible Gen 32:22-32 and 2 Corinth. 12:9. Its a story of someone wrestling with God.
when i was finished a part in my reading got to me
it said:
"But sometimes God breaks us to make us better. He may break our hearts so that we will make room for him there."
that's when i realized (again) that God had told me to love him FIRST!!!









how have i wondered from God? how has he sought me back?

how has God broken me?

God loves you and he wants you! Run after God as fast as you can and chose him! HE needs to be your love!!!
he loves you!!! and even if relationships get hard, tell God about your day. ask him why it went wrong and what you need to do :) he's been around a while and he knows what to say
REMEMBER: take the time to listen to him and dont just talk. he will guide you if you let him Psalm 32:8, and he wants to!

and know you are not alone! i just went through this and i am more than open to talk :)

love=hard=confusing=worth it




to all you girls out there with guy problems...



you ever have th
e perfect man and you think, this is the most wonderful thing that
could ever happen to me! God is so awesome, nothing can change this! Then it does?! have you ever been in a situation the opposite? where your life is a total mess, the guy is a jerk, your about to break up but then something starts to work out and you fall in love?
or what about the combo? those girls who are seekin
g God and the relationship is working, then a sweet guy comes along that you adore but you love the man of your dreams and you know you can't leave him so you say
no. he learns of this and you both have an argument but things end up fine and your still in love
?
or maybe a reverse combo (still keeping up?) the guy is a jerk and you think what are you going to do
? you break up and he follows you like a helpless puppy who needs his "food" and you give in. that
s when mr. wonderful comes
along and you realize he is the one you truly like-but you dont know what to do. he tells you at one point he liked you and probably still does and your thinking "oh my gosh! i like him to but what do i do w/this other guy?"

girls! i have been in ALL of these sit
uations!!!
guys! I'm sorry if this relates to you to but maybe you will learn a thing or two about us girls ;)

alright ladies its time to gather and think...what does God want?
Genesis talks about woman being formed for man and who the two shall be as one flesh-we are to be the same with God in our spirit.
when we seek God's face and we are being one with Him at our best, that is when: Satan attacks, God is there, and you feel the Holy Spirit guiding you in what to do (absolutely beautiful in all reality).
for you girls that feel you are stuck in a rut: GET OUT!!! leave the jerk! and seek God's face!
if your in a good relationship-talk to the guy, pray with him often, do devotions together (in a public setting), keep all tempt
ation away...need i say more? i
f i do comment and i will ;)

But God is the author and finisher of our lives, that means he cares more about our relationships than any other human on this planet! and what i want you girls to know is:
+its hard
+sex is worth the wait
+God is worth more that you can give him (but try)
+mr. wonderful is worth you time and kindess
+purity is more than thoughts-its also keeping others pure

to all you girls i want you to know that i love you and God does too more than anyone in this world!
to all you guys i want you to know that i love you and God does more as well

this is not bash on guy time-because trust me girls i can bash on you pretty deeply-and you know what for.
but i want you to know that if you are in a relationship and you: are scared, have doubts when someone else comes, want something more, in pain, confused, tired, emotionally drug down-or anything else SEEK GOD!!! pray every day and read his word, spend time in worship-it doesnt matter that you "feel anything" but that you are being OBEDIENT to the one who created YOU!!! He loves you and obedience is more important than many other things :)

if you guys have prayer requests or want to talk to me, leave a comment and ill get back to ya! ;)
-New to his love but in love with Him-

love...dates



-image found at photobucket.com

How do you know when you are in love? We hear from people all these stories of how they fell in love..."he took me here and..." "we were walking and..." but the most famous of them all is also the one that bugs us more than any other! " I JUST KNEW"
Now i have had some boyfriends, and i have gone on dates...and there are those moments when you question "Is he the one for me?"
but then (it seems most of the time) he dumps you, or you dump him because it's not working out...well guess what?! its ok! if it doesn't work out, let me tell you, it is way better to find out during that dating process as to becoming infatuated with someone and marrying them (thats when you realize something may be wrong).

You are not alone.

Many people experience this in our world...maybe because dating isn't exactly in the Bible and thats not how God intended it...or maybe it was just the wrong person.

I want to tell you that it's ok :) your not alone and it's natural to want to be with someone else of the opposite gender. ( It is the way God made us)

but as for love...I want you to know that I was one of those little girls who dreamed of it!
I pretended to be a princess and imagined prince charming coming to my door to save me from the horrible dragon! and as I got older I realized that wouldn't happen so I hoped for a Godly man to show up with roses then go to one knee and propose...

then I dated a few guys...

The reality of it all is that you can have a fairy tale ending but it may be a little hard to get there...sometimes the princess has to fight a few dragons and other things in her path to get to where God wants her for the right prince. Today us princesses need to realize its not easy for us or the guys. We both have wars to win in this world with purity, faithfulness, relationships, family, friends, and so much more! But I will tell you that the only way you will make it through any of this is with God. The Bible tells us that God will not allow anything that we cannot handle with him (if you think about it God can handle anything so we shouldn't worry). But us princesses and princes of God need to fight and fight together!

Here is a tip for us to follow (and if you do it will help SOOOO much with some of the war)

Guys:
don't whisper in a girls ear that you love her, unless you intend to put on a ring, raise a family, and are prepared to stand for your family and with them (keeping God 1st) to live in this sinful world. And if you want a girl to respect you don't use pick-up lines and a lot of affection, restrain and listen to her (if she is the right one, you won't mind listening).

Girls:
Cover your bodies! Good grief! Some times we don't really think about it because we see our bodies every day and are used to 'em. Truth is if you want a guy to treat you right and if you want to marry someone who will put God before you (and that means a lot!), you need to respect his eyes as well. Plus if you save it all for marriage, woot!, he will be a happy man ;) and you will be a happy woman :D

everyone:
The only way you will be able to do this is with God YOU CAN NOT DO IT ALONE! Trust me! Reading your Bible at least once a day (even if it is one verse) will help your attitude! Praying every night and morning (if your dating or something, pray with the one your dating) will help a lot especially if you pray for wisdom. Go to a good home church and be faithful to the same one. Even if your family isn't stable, you need something in your life that is: God always will be and being in a church will help you have a sturdy foundation!

well thats it for today! speaking of church I got some youth and kids to teach some of that good Bible to! :D Blessings!
