Heart in the Hands of God

1 Peter 3:2&4 

2  - "when they see the purity and reverence of your lives."

4 - "Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

In 1 Peter 3, it talks about Husbands and wives. As I was reading this a few weeks ago in my devotions these 2 verses popped out to me and made me really think of what I want a godly man to see in me. I've always wanted to get married and have a family. I have this desire for a Christ-Centered relationship, I want to fall in love with a man who loves God with all he has. I started to examine myself... what do I want a godly man to see in me? I want him to see a woman who loves God, who sees purity a must, who is ready to and is letting God work in my life. Who sees true value in a Christ-Centered relationship.

In all honesty, I have struggled the past while with letting God have control. I am not perfect and sometimes I want life to go my way! I have to continue to remember God has everything planned, and in His time it will all work out. Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" I have to remember to wait for the Lord's timing and all will fall into place at the right time. Do not worry, God even says it in His word. Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." 

It has almost been a year that I have been praying the man I will one day marry, the one for who the Lord has planned for me. I believe those prayers are working, I believe I have become a stronger women (yes, I do stumble and have rough times. but I am only human) and I believe God is working in his life, shaping him into the man I will one day call my husband... My Beloved. God is continuing to work in my life, and I just need to remember that God is in control, not me. 

So ladies, pray for the man you will one day marry. Pray for his salvation, safety, purity, his walk with our Heavenly Father, his character, and his heart. Also, pray that God will shape you into a women of God, living in purity, and beauty in the eyes of God. Keep your heart in the hands of God! 

Men, (for those of you who may read this) pray for your wives. Pray for their hearts to be placed in God's hands till you come along and God says, 'Son, it is your time with her, but I will still be here, all the time. For I loved her first. Take care of her heart.' And pray that you as young men will stay pure and walk with God forever. 

Break Forth and Hospital Adventure

Meeting George Canyon at a late night concert! 

My weekend has been an interesting one! Friday was the start of Break Forth 2013! Casting Crowns blew my mind, I love them so much! Honestly, probably one of my highlights of the weekend! I also had the opportunity on Friday to see my friends little brother compete in the Break Forth Artist Competition he made the top 10 out of hundreds! He did such a wonderful job! Got to see a bunch of friends from high school, and ran into one of my old Sunday School teachers! It was pretty crazy!!! Saturday, well where do I start! ummm, it was painful! The upside was I got to see Kari Jobe, she held a session on letting the Spirit lead in worship and how to be open to the Spirit as a worship leader! I got so much out of that session. By the time we walked back to the main building I was in so much pain, I just wanted to go home! I got to spend time with friends, but I would have enjoyed it so much more without the pain. By the time I got home, I was EXHAUSTED! Sadly, I didn't sleep at all! I got a hold of my cousin who took me to the emergency, Sunday morning! (she has been so great to have around since I moved to this big city). After close to 3 hours we were out! :) My parents showed up just a the doctor came in and told me how to take care of my ankle. I ended up spraining it pretty bad! Due to my Spina Bifida I have a weak right ankle that I roll fairly easily. I rolled it a few weeks ago, and fell a few times over the past couple weeks and with all the walking I put lots of stain on it. I think after being up for over 30 hours of almost unbearable pain, one should go to the hospital. The doctors were wonderful and helped so much!




Through out the day I received texts from friends with encouraging words and some prayers. My one friend texted out an entire prayer! Some of the prayer team members at Break Forth were praying for me! I believe God took some of the pain away! GOD IS SOOO GOOD!!!
I had a crazy weekend! I also go to meet one of my favorite Canadian Country Artists; George Canyon!

Right on the Journey

Well, this is it! I'm making a blog! Ok, well where do I start...
I am currently in my second semester of Bible College at Vanguard College in Edmonton in the LIFT program. I started in Music, but transferred second semester. I grew up in a Christian home and went to a Christian school. I love music and worshiping my Heavenly Father. I'm a simple girl, with big dreams. I was born with Spina Bifida, and have always wanted to help those who have been affected with it. I also have a heart for Haiti. My father has been going there for more years then I have been alive, and hearing his stories makes me want to go so bad!
