I will wait for You.

As I was reading through Psalm 25 I noticed something that really captured my attention, "for I wait for you." Verse 20 & 21 say, " Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you." I went back to verse 4 & 5 where it says, " Make me to know your way, O lord: teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long." Instantly I thought of the Phil Wickham song and the lyrics that struck me immediately were, " I will wait for You there, down on my knees where I met You. Give You all of my cares, find a grace to hold on to now. I'm calling for You."
These different ways of waiting on God has led me to one simple thought: Wait on the Lord and rest in Him. Listen to Him. Put your hope in Him. Allow Him to speak to you. Never stop worshiping Him.

Precious Moments

When I was younger, one of my older sister's had a precious moments Bible and I would always look through it and look for a picture of the precious moment characters being Mary, Joseph, ,Jesus, David and other great characters named in the Bible. Although my blog has nothing to do with the actual precious moment figurines, I thought it would be fun to reminisce on a fun past memory.

Cute huh?

Since my last blog of being a newly engaged woman, God has worked is many great and mighty ways, hence the title, precious moments. One of the biggest blessing the Lord has given me is a wonderful group of girls that love the Lord. I believe God has placed them in my life throughout this sweet season of my life to show me more love and teach me the meaning of extended grace. I have always prayed that God would send me girls that loved me and were able to share life with me while being about to enjoy God as sisters. That's another thing God has taught me. "Enjoy God." Seek after His heart and enjoy it! But I'll get to that in a sec. These past several months of being able to watch movies, have sleep overs, late fast food nights, hugs, cries, and praying together- I feel as if God has blessed me with a community of sisters that surpassed every prayer that has ever been said. God continues to show me He knows me better than I will ever know myself.

 

Thank you Jesus, and thank you homegroup.

Another thing God has been teaching me is to enjoy Him. Seek actively after His heart and enjoy Him. I have been reading in Psalms and I go read Bible verses such as 8: 3+ 4 "When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?" and 16:2 " I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” These verses has encouraged me to not only try to memorize scripture but to actually WANT to memorize them so that I can be anywhere in the world and be able to say, "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." These are the precious moments we are able to experience as children of the Mighty One. Wow. How great is our God.
