After this week...
I don't want you to remember me.
I don't need you to know my name,
my face,
my life.
I don't need a letter, a call, a note.
I only ask one thing of you as i go...
I want you to remember that
Jesus came
and shared a moment
Serving You.

I wrote this is my journal the third day i spent in Jamaica, along with a saying that I have made a personal goal to live out.
"You may be the only Jesus somebody ever sees"
This journal filled with snipbits of my life and things that ive heard that have touched my life and shaped my relationship with God. Things that have impacted my life, my world. Experiences that i don't think i could ever relate to anybody else, but they changed me. I wish that everybody in the world had a experience like this, a book almost completely filled with 5 months of life... falling apart but holding my life together.
--
I want to change the world. I want to not be afraid to stand up alone for what i believe in. No matter what the cost. "For God did not give us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind" 2 Timothy 1:7
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity" 1 Timothy 4:12
God,
I want to have the courage of David, a boy so young, and yet so strong. Risking his life, his dignity, everything to stand up against the giants in his life for your Glory. God I know I will face giants in my life in the next few years, maybe even months. I've overcome some before God, you've been faithful to your word before, and you will be faithful again and i know that. Give me the serenity i need to trust in you. Give me wisdom to follow your path no matter the cost. God i want to change the world, but not for me, for you. If thats your calling for me, let it be God. Wherever you want to send me, give me the courage to say "Here I am Lord, Send me."
--
So you wanna change the world,
What are you waiting for?
Say you wanna start right now,
What are you waiting for?
It only takes one voice,
Common now and shout it out
Give a little more
What are you waiting for?

Mothers Cries
an original poem
--
a man walks up
five stars on chest
envelope in hand
it's opened;
heard
"i'm sorry ma'am"
as the color left her head
"i promise ma,
i'll be home safe
but, keep me in your prayers"
his last words,
thought i asked you God
to keep him in Your care.
a flag procession
men in black
shots heard far and wide
his blood shed
his promise broken
to let his flag wave high
a purple ribbon
now adorned
atonement for his life
shown with pride
near stars and stripes
at cost of life
and mothers cries.

Shifting Shadows
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, -- Who does not change like shifting shadows -- " James 1:17
It's good to know that no matter the changes and decisions and circumstances in my everday life, my heavenly Father never changes, His love never fades, and His mercys are new every morning ♥
--
All the decisions i make can impact every moment of my life, some things are trivial such as what i will wear, others can impact me tremendiously, such as which college to pick. Though i know i will change my mind many times with the big decisions in life, I know that i have a God that will never change His mind, and no matter what my life is in His hands and nothing can change that (Jer. 29:11)

Faithful
You were faithful before, You'll be faithful again. I'm holding your hand ♥
So let the waters rise, if you want them to, i will follow you, i will follow you.
--
God,
No matter what happens in life i know that it is part of Your plan and though i won't understand it sometimes, i will put my faith and trust in you and realize that you hold the whole world in your hands and you will never let me go no matter what. Help me to remain in you and keep my faith and my eyes on You Lord.

Still Believe
Even when i don't see... I still believe.
--
So God, even when you do things i really don't understand, You were faithful before, You'll be faithful again. I'm holding your hand
--
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. ♥ Deut 31:8

Bigger
You are bigger then we let you be. You are strong enough to set us free.
By the pain of the Cross, You Bring LIFE to the lost.
You are Love, You are Love, Our GOD is Love.
hmm that line always gets me. How many times have i pushed God into a little box, instead of letting Him be the One over all things. Its like what i heard once. "If God were small enough for our heads, He wouldn't be big enough for our knees" -- Maybe we should start letting God be big enough to take care of eveything in our lives, and just give Him the glory and the praise.
--
So many times I have brought out my God box, a little place i push Him away when i feel like taking my life into my own hands. I tell Him he can come out on sundays or when something goes totally wrong, but i got the rest.
Even when i know i can't handle something by myself, my pride steps in and i don't want to admit to God that i had messed up and i can't do this.. SO i try to cover it up. God is definitly always bigger then i let Him be. He is big enough to make the world and hold it in His hands, yet sometimes i won't even let him hold my fragile heart.
--
God,
Don't let me try to fit you into my God 'box' anymore. or try to push you away and hide you from view. I know i cannot do anything without you, don't ever let me forget that. God you are so huge and big and sometimes i forget that. Hold my heart, Keep me in your care God. Though you are huge, you still take the time to know everything about me, down to the number of hairs on my head. Never let me forget that. Thank you for caring so much and helping me humble myself and lose my pride in Your presence Lord. Don't let my selfish pride get in the way of what you are trying to do in my life God.

[[The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you]] It's good to know the Author and Creator of everything is fighting on my side ♥ Deut. 1:30
