Wow, I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I’ve last posted. I feel like I dropped off the face of the blogging world, and to be honest, I kind of have. I want to take a moment to apologize. Know that I do remember you guys, but my life has really changed in the past year.
February 14th(Valentine’s day)of 2022, my crush of 5 years asked me to court him. We had gotten to know each other more the year prior. I’m happy to announce that on December 29th, we got engaged! We’ve officially set our wedding date for this September 2nd! I couldn’t be happier to get married to my best friend and spend the rest of my life with him.
As of now, I’m not sure how much I will be able to blog, but I want to know how all of you are doing. Let me know in the comments!⬇️
Good morning y’all! I honestly wasn’t even planning to post this, but this morning, I just sat down and started writing. Even though I only wrote a paragraph, I thought I would share it with you. As you read, reflect on the season of life you’re in. Are you still in school? Are you impatiently waiting for God to put THE man into your life?(girls you know what I’m talking about) No matter what season you’re in or what struggles you’re going through, trust God. He will give you joy in the waiting
Joy in the Waiting
When that feeling of dread washes over you like a tidal wave, the feeling that things are not going to work out the way you planned, that feeling that you’ll never see a change in the never ending path ahead, how do you handle it? Do you just shove your feelings down into the innermost depths of your heart? Or do you seek the One who owns that heart?Next time you’re feeling as though things will never be alright…seek the One who knows your destiny, who knows your heart, and who knows each and every hardship and each and every joy you will experience. Ask Him for joy in the waiting.
“I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.”
*breathes a sigh* I’m so excited to bring back one of my favorite posts, A Song to Share. I love how wholesome Christian music can give me perspective and encouragement with Christian living. Listening to praise and worship really helps me dial in on what is truly important, and that’s growing in my relationship with the Lord and seeks him in all I do. As you read this post and listen to the song, I encourage you to forget about everything else, and just focus on Him and his awesomeness!
Broken Vessels by Hillsong Worship
Lyrics:
VERSE 1: All these pieces Broken and scattered In mercy gathered Mended and whole Empty handed But not forsaken I’ve been set free I’ve been set free
PRE-CHORUS: Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I am found Was blind but now I see
CHORUS: Oh I can see You now Oh I can see the love in Your eyes Laying Yourself down Raising up the broken to life
VERSE 2: You take our failure You take our weakness You set Your treasure In jars of clay
So take this heart Lord I’ll be Your vessel The world to see Your life in me
BRIDGE: Take my heart Take my soul Take my mind and I will Give my thoughts Give my all Give my life to follow You Take my hands Take my breath Take my dreams and I will Lift my eyes Lift my faith Lift my voice and worship You
This song is so beautiful. It gives me chills❤️ In the first verse, the song writer is saying that we are broken and until God gives us his mercy, we won’t be able to be put back together. But the Lord takes each of our broken pieces, and glues them together to make us wholly His.
In this world, where so many people are still broken, we are called to be his vessels and carry His word in our hearts to share with the lost and broken.
Christ also takes all our shortcomings, and flaws, and out failures. We can entrust him with all our worries and regrets. He puts his treasure in jars of clay(us) so that his glory can be revealed because we could never get up and put ourselves back together without him.
2 Corinthians 4:7
“ But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
Good morning y’all! It has been soooo long! I can’t believe I’m finally back. It feels good and I’m so excited to start blogging again! I’ve missed each and every one of you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.
So how has everyone been doing? What have you been up to? Anything new? I have so many questions! We need to catch up. So everyone in the comments, tell me a little about your year, an exciting thing that’s happened, and...let’s see....your favorite dessert. I look forward to being able to start up blogging again, although I may not be able to post as often as when I first began.
If you are new here, welcome! I started blogging around a year ago and it was very enjoyable, but unfortunately, due to some older technology, I wasn’t able to continue:( Now that I have a phone, it should go a little smoother:)Feel free to also ask me any questions in the comments!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
