my room is so empty.
This is the room that I decorated with pretty pictures, tiny pegs, and twine. This is the room where you strung up the lights you gave me. This is the room where I made booklets for people and designed long dangly necklaces and this is the room where I first started reading all those cross-references in my Bible. This is the room where I finally cultivated the discipline for daily time with God,...

Please pray.
guardyourheart:
A boy I went all through elementary, middle, and high school with died in a car accident last night. He was 21 years old. Only 21. While I did not know him well, I am so shocked and sad. I can’t even imagine what the people close to him are feeling like. Please pray for his friends and family, even if it’s the littlest prayer.
Be blessed and tell your loved ones you love them...

oh Lord, i'm so sorry.
I’m so sorry I denied You before them all. I’m so sorry I denied it again with an oath. I kept repeating, “I don’t know You.” And I started calling down curses on myself and I swore to them that I didn’t know.
Oh Lord, I said I didn’t know You. I refused to admit that I once loved You. You were my First Love, and I said I didn’t know You. Oh Lord,...

And when you deserted Me and fled, I knew what you were saying in your hearts.
And when you falsely testified against Me, I sat and I heard every word.
And when you screamed at Me, “Are you not going to answer?!”, I remained silent.
And when you tore your clothes and shouted, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? We have a law, and according to the law...

turn your eyes upon Jesus
look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
Oh Jesus, help me to gaze into Your eyes today despite all the chaos in my day. Let me look at You, for when I do, everything will fall into place. You are amazing. You are beyond brilliant. When I look at Your face, all fear falls away. Perfect love drives out fear, and my Lord,...

Anonymous asked: If the road to heaven is narrow and road to hell is wide, wouldn't that mean that most of the people who die go to hell rather than heaven? And do you think its harder to go to hell than heaven or vise verse?

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns --...
Refuse to allow discouragement and confusion to cloud your vision. The temptation will be to sink down into a place of lethargy that will border on hopelessness. But, I tell you honestly that the enemy is provoking you to believe lies that have the potential of disabling your spiritual progress. Don’t believe him, but rather push through this shroud of darkness until you can once again...

oh He is
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible, hid from our eyes, Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest to...

put your sword back into its place.
Put it back, because I did not come to walk in your world, to put up a fight against you, My enemies. Put back the sword, because I will not resist arrest. I will not resist your scoffing or the whips. I will not resist your spit on my face and I will not resist your jeers and insults. I will not resist the nails being hammered into my wrists or the nail driven through My feet. I will not resist...

let Me lead.
I have a few more days packing up where I’m living at the moment, and then I launch into a period of madness where I’m staying at a friend’s house, with my stuff split between three places, not knowing where I’ll be moving to. Life is going to be crazy, and I’ve been stressed. I finally opened up His Word today and read a chapter of Numbers, and heard Him clearly:

He speaks to where I am, always.
THE TRUMPET by Bill Burns — 12/20/2010: Come and see in the season that is before you the goodness of the Lord in the land of those who are living by faith; who are trusting Me; who choose to walk in Spirit. I encourage you to allow yourself to be driven by the wind of My Spirit and to be carried by the water of My Spirit. My blessings will not be withheld in this coming year, which...

they each have particular conditions too. the photo taken at his pool has to be of us suspended in mid-air. the photo taken at the...

My prayer for all of you is that you come to know Him personally. That the joy behind Christmas hits your heart and that you realise He stepped down into our world in humility because He loves you so much. Merry Christmas! x

my testimony: what the Lord has done in me.
I was blessed to have Christian parents, who were strong in their love of the Lord. I had a wonderful childhood, growing up at church and in a relationship with Jesus Christ. He was so real to me, and I still have prayer journals from when I was young that put a smile on my face. But I was always so nervous about what other people thought of me, and as a high achiever I placed my worth in my...
