I Will Exalt You God.

I will exalt Thee
I will exalt Thee
I will exalt Thee
You are my God.

Today is the day Lord. The day I tell this kid what I feel for him. Bleck, lol. The tears want to come out of my eyes. Jesus, I don't want to do it. And there is a sadness in me, because I cannot pretend anymore. Spirit, in my brokenness, would You please speak anyway? Lord, I am sorry that I resisted for so long. But in my obedience to You, would You bless me? May I not fear.

Because You're with me
Because You're with me
Because You're with me
I will not fear.

I am still like, why do I really have to do this? But Lord, who am I to question Your plan? You have proven Yourself faithful to me in the past. In that moment when You told me to forgive Jeremy and DeShana, I could not imagine the good that would result from that. I thought that it was something that I was supposed to do for them, that it wasn't fair that I had to stop holding against them what they did. But God, I am the person that I am now because You told me to do that and because I listened! I could not imagine in that moment the change that would happen in me, or the beauty of mending relationships after so much pain resulted from them. And all You did was tell me to do one thing: let go. And even that wasn't something that I had to do on my own. You were with me through it all. Through it ALL.

So Lord, I pray that even in this situation, I would trust You and obey You. I pray that even though I have fear, I would do what You have called me to do, even with that fear. May I understand what fear really is; a shadow that can do no harm. The shadow that makes it look like there's a monster, when really there is just a cricket. Praise Yahweh. I thank You for calling me to be strong and courageous and that You promise to be with me wherever I go. May I be so aware of Your presence with me. Always, not just in this situation. In all things, not just with this talk.

I will exalt You
You are my God.

I love You Jesus. And I pray that I would love You through obedience. I pray that You would begin to change my heart for G. That I would love Him deeply with Christ's love and that my feelings would soon fall away. I pray for a contentment and thorough satisfaction in the greatest love story ever told, the greatest love ever known. I have no idea what Your plans are with this conversation, I only hope that I am not too late in carrying out what You have called me to do.
I pray for peace and boldness. I pray for an awareness of the victory. I pray that I will be ever-aware of who I am in Christ-- what can man do to a daughter of God? What man can tamper and taint the person I am in Jesus the Lord? In His Name, I can do all things. In the character and person of God, I CAN DO ALL THINGS. Etch that into my heart Lord.

Be with me as I go Lord. Be with me in the pain and the hurt and the tears. In the past, I have experienced such joy in the morning, such peace after the storm. I look forward to Your blessing of peace and thank You for it. Thank You for loving me Lord, may I be ever aware of Your deep, wide, high, long Love for me x).

My hiding place
My safe refuge
My treasure Lord
You Are.

One month later...

Geez, I need to get on my blogging game! So anyway, lots of shtuff has happened, there was SSS this summer (absolutely amazing) and right now I'm taking online courses (not so amazing) but I just signed on to this blog to talk about what today is:

LIFE-IN-A-DAY DAY!

This dude named Kevin MacDonald is going to make a film that documents (aka documentary xD) what it was like to live on July 24, 2010. He said it would have social value and be a little time capsule. That is the coolest thing. So for some reason, the idea for a bucket list popped into my head the past day or two. Some of the things that were on my mental list:

Cut my hair straight bald.
Get locks (I might do that first actually).
Create a time capsule with friends and fam (and soon!).

That time capsule idea has laid dormant in my mind for a while. A year or two ago, I saw an ep. of Zoey 101 and they made a time capsule which they buried beneath the ground to be pulled up 20 years later. That is pretty cool! And this whole Life-In-A-Day idea is pretty awesome too. I wanna do something. I don't even care if it makes it into the documentary (that would be cool though). I just want to participate. And the vid. or vids. we do today and the ones we have been doing can be a part of that! How AWESOME would that be? Uber excited!

kk, tata, I must blog soon!
