My Sweet Lord and King has been opening a lot of doors that He had previously closed. I mentioned this on one of my last posts... I guess He was closing them temporarily, not permanently. I pray that He would always step in the way of anything or anyone that I am allow to get in His way in my life.. He gives and takes away. Blessed be His name!
I so desire to have a gentle and quiet spirit.. to be a woman that honors, reveres, respects, loves, blesses, and rejoices in Him and His heart each day. I have SUCH a long way to go.. but that's the grace of His love, He is so very patient and faithful to me..He is conforming me into His image.. He walks with me through this dirty but beautiful world. I desire to moment by moment put to death my flesh, my sinful nature. I just want Him to live through me... to go to any lengths to speak His name and not my own. It's such a struggle sometimes...there are some moments where all I want to do is scream ME, MY, I... even for worthless, meaningless things. What is up with that? But that's the beauty of having the Holy Spirit, He gives me strength and self-control. He reminds me of how insignificant I am to this world, that my worth does not come from recognition...and that to Him, how SIGNIFICANT AND VALUABLE I am to Him! How blessed am I?! I can't fathom this love I get to enjoy!
I really like blogging but I sit down and feel that the same thing comes out...how much I need JESUS! Oh well, I pray someone will be blessed by reading this!

School, Summer and Randomness
Wow! I cannot believe that it has been almost 3 months since I blogged last! This past semester has really been busy...but such a blessing. =) There is so much to say.. At the moment, I am just enjoying the time I have to rest.. and I mean I have been taking advantage of it! I still have one week, well 4 days, of work left. I'm relieved because I am really ready for time to not be busy... but also I think I'm going to be a little sad because I will really miss the kiddos. The Lord has blessed so many moments with them! He has given me the opportunity to love them and mostly He has given me the blessing of their love and joy! School was tough this semester but I am just glad to be in school. I really pray that the Lord will take me only where He wants me, teach me what He wants me to learn. The week after this one, I will be starting my summer course. It is Research in Early Childhood Edu. It is with our new Professor, I love her! She makes me laugh! The Lord has blessed me and helped me get here.. I just finished my Associate's degree, only by His mercy. Oh seriously, only because each breath is His grace!!!!
He has been opening many doors that He had closed. I just want to have a surrendered spirit, accepting whatever He is willing to give. Sometimes I find myself fighting whatever He is giving or taking away...but He knows best. He is my Abba! I'm very thankful for the relationships that He has reawakened...Wow. I'm so unworthy of His love! I'm just enjoying basking in His sweet, warm, life giving Smile!
Okay... so what to write about? Hmm...
I am currently reading and am almost done with Leslie Ludy's The Lost Art of True Beauty. I love it! I feel that she often reiterates similar concepts and facts but I like it because that really strengthens me as the reader as well as makes me believe that she sincerely believes it. I think her passion really shines through her books and website (www.setapartgirl.com). I also have a few pages left of The Bravehearted Gospel by Eric. These people are very respectable.. they are blessed teachers. I would love to go to Ellerslie. (ellerslie.com) Next, I will finish Sacred Singleness...then maybe revisit Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. <3
This is a random blog but oh well =) I am eating some watermelon and enjoying having my window open and my music playing! I want to live this out = Rejoice in it! (The day that He made!) I'm so glad it is summer, this was the looongest winter ever!
Now on to Spring Cleaning-one of my FAVORITE activities on a day like this!
Praise be only to Jesus!
