The River.

Do you have that one place where you go and feel God's presence right away?  Well, that place for me is a place where I am completely surrounded by nature.  I enjoy seeing all the beautiful things God has created.  I also like to be silent, but I listen to the breeze and animals that are nearby.

I think nature is a good place to reflect on all the wonderful things God provides us with.

Genesis 1:10 says..
God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

Psalm 19:1 says..
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

It is still so amazing to be that God created everything.  It is just so mind blowing to me.  But I cannot deny how awesome it is.

I challenge you to think about where you feel God's presence the most.

While I was home for winter break from college my parents and I had a movie night.  We watched the movie War Room, and it is a Christian movie.  It was honestly a very good movie.  In this movie, the older lady dedicates a closest in her house to where she reads her Bible and talks to God through prayer.  This movie encourages you to continue to grow in your faith through scripture.  I will link the trailer below.  I recommend you take the time to check it out.

Dear God,
I just pray that we continue to gravitate ourselves to you no matter where we seek your presence the most.  Whether it is through nature, church, our living room, or even a closest in our house.  I just pray we maintain to grow our relationship with you.  I pray we give all our burdens to you, and we take time to reflect our lives with you often.  I pray all these things in Your awesome name.  Amen.

Diamonds.

Happy Monday! God is refining us into diamonds.  He is making our stories perfect through his eyes.  Isn't that awesome? Zechariah 9:16 says.. The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown. It is amazing how much God loves us even though we sin over and over.  We must always remember to forgive our sins.  He is the way and the light of the world. Dear God, I thank you that you see us as perfect diamonds.  I pray you continue to lead us through the dark.  Please be with us as we continue to live our lives for you.  I pray all these things in Your awesome name.

Sometimes God Blows My Mind.

Just the other day a sermon appeared on my youtube home screen for the first time ever.  I clicked the video and began watching.  Her name was Heather Lindsey, and I knew nothing about her.  I was a couple minutes in and realized I needed to save it for later.  I kept the tab open until I had enough time to watch the 42 minute sermon.  Tonight was the night I decided to watch it, and man does God place things in your life that you need to hear.  I have typed out my notes that I jotted down during the sermon, and I will link the video below.  If you need a Jesus pick-me-up, then please do not hesitate to watch this sermon.  It is truly amazing to see God work through this message. Heather Lindsey - Stormy Seasons: Trusting God In the Midst of the Storms of Life. It is easier to forgive at church, but we walk out the door and still sin. Luke 8:22 God tests us. In the middle of the trial, have faith and hope in God. God wants to know w...
