The Key to My Garden

The key to my
Garden,
Hangs around my neck.
As I walk through
my garden,
I'm sad and depressed.

My flowers refuse
to bloom,
and the weeds choke
out all their food.
Is it something I did?
Or something I didn't?

I hear You call
out to me,
from outside the garden gates.
I sigh in relief as
I let You in.
Handing over the key
To my garden,
I will let You
plant what I need
and dig up what I don't.

My garden is
Yours
to do with as You
please.

Plant flowers of Love
and trees of Virtue.
Dig up weeds of Evil
and vines of Poison.

As long as you have
The key to my
Garden gates,
I will let You
Change my
Heart.

My Gift

This is an amazing song!
I know it'll probably sound really childish, but I want my husband to be like that.
I want him to see me as beautiful as the sunrise, even if I'm old and grey.
I can't really put my feelings into words. It's hard to do!
I just want him to know, that I pray for him everyday. ha even if he doesn't read this, I still pray for him. And I don't think that'll stop.
I keep a shoe box full of letters for him, in the letters I write out things that I've been feeling, how I've been praying for him long and hard over the years. And how I can't wait to meet him! (which I think is the most exciting part)
I think it's really fun how God doesn't give us clues till the time's just right. When I think about how I have such a special gift waiting for him, I get butterflies in my stomach!
I plan to give him the shoe box to him on my wedding day. I can't wait to see his face when I do!
I don't know how he'll react. If he'll smile, if he'll cry, or both! I just don't know.

But unlike so many girls these days, I'm not going to go looking for him.
I'm going to be in the Arms of The Lord till the day he comes and when he does, my Father places my hand in his. That way I know that this is the one God wants for me!
I can't wait to see him for the first time as my husband. I don't know who he is or where he is, if I've already met him, great. But I won't know till God tells me, and I can't wait till that moment!

"Most important of all,
continue to show deep love for each other,
for love covers a multitude of sins." ~ 1 Peter 4:8

The Tears, they will fall

The tears,

they fall.

hard at first,

why would you 

do this O God? 

i don't see, what 

is the gang?

The tears,

they fall,

i can't see

at all,

things are

blurred,

I want to believe

in anything but

the Word.

I only get

up in the

morning,

to lie back

down at

night. 

I think, 'what is the point?' 

it seems like I'm stuck,

it's like I'm out of luck. 

Gradually,

I find 

that the 

Lord has not

forsaken me.

though it may look like it,

i realize,

that He will always be there,

to pull me out of the pit.

Gradually, 

I get better,

I can see the sunshine,

I can smell the flowers

I know that 

God will bring 

me relief,

he will pick me up

in his strong arms,

and he will offer me

the cup, 

of life. 

The tears,

they fall,

but I have not lost!

I will not lose!

For my God is greater,

my God is stronger. 

And with Him,

I'll never back down,

I'll never give up.

though they will pound 

me, 

they will not drown 

me, 

For through Christ,

I can do all things. 

I know that He 

will not give me

more then my 

small,

breakable shoulders

can hold.

I will rejoce in God

in the good times,

and I will praise him

in the bad. 

The tears,

they fall.

He will keep me

close,

and give me

a rose, 

to dry my tears 

when they roll

down my cheeks.

But I know,

that I'm not alone.

I'm never alone.

and if my God is for me,

...who can stand against me?

"...For I will never leave you,

nor forsake you." ~ Hebrews 13:5

I'll be myself

God made me,
he carved me,
he showed me who I was,
who I am.
So I'll be who I am,
nothing more,
nothing less.

I won't let people
influence me as
best as I can.
but through the Lord,
I can do all things!
which means I can be myself
around anybody!!

It doesn't matter what they
think of me,
or if they criticize me,
or if they talk about me
behind
my back.
I don't care.
And I won't let it bother me,
for I am a Princess,
I am Royalty,
I am God's daughter,
and that's all that maters.

So let them criticize me!
but their words won't
reach my ears.
their talk will be in
vain,
for I will hear
none of it.
Because God is my Father,
he protects me from
hurt.
Thank you Lord!
for being too good for me!!

Feelings that make me feel

 

I listened to this just today. and it gave me a whole new view on the love Jesus has for me. 

Sometimes it's hard to think that he's there and that he's always going to love us, no matter how ugly we think we are, or how sinful we are, or what bad things we've done. He will ALWAYS love us!!!

it's hard to get isn't it? that's what I thought too. 

but then I read the passage: Jude 1:2

"Mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance." 

LOVE will be yours in ABUNDANCE!! isn't that amazing?! Like I said before, he will love us...always! 

I'm content

"Though it's raining,
I'm smiling.
The skies may be dark,
but I'm happy.
I may be the unluckiest girl,
but I'm content.
Because I can do all things through
Christ
who strengthens me!!"
