Being rebuilt

Cheers to all of the people who actually read this..you make my heart happy. HA!

School is starting back up tomorrow, and yeah, im that kid that wishes they could make up some excuse and not go...pretend like i am sick, cough cough. Nah, it should be an exciting, long, stressful, exilerating semester. Now that i got all of that negativity out the way..im sure it will be fine. more than anything, im just looking forward to seeing what God has for me and what doors He is going to open. Its a mystery to me!


One of my goals this year was to read Gods word everyday..and so i got these cool devotions set up on my iphone, and ya know, i really LOVE reading His word. He is showing me so much, i really cant grasp it all. What any other person would call a set of 'coinicidences', i find that is how God speaks to me the most through His word. I will read it, or think about a scripture, and somehow it will pop up through out the week...and there are multiple scriptures that come up. When that happens, it really feels me with joy, it lets me know God is watching out for me and speaking to me and reassuring me.

There were 2 main scriptures that stood out to me this week that i couldnt let go of. Here is one

Isaiah 58:12

Your perpetual ruins will be rebuilt, you will reestablish the ancient foundations. You will be called, "the one who repairs broken walls, the one who makes the streets inhabitable again".

one translation says, "you will rebuild the foundations from out of the past".

To be honest, ive kinda have a rough past..and im sure a lot of us have. Some people would not even think that God would use their past to build some new. But this scripture is encouraging because God says He will rebuild us, and we will be restored. i love it, and it is so encouraging to me as someone who has been through a few tough things in their life.

on a side note-i thought about me having a "rough life", and that seemed really selfish of me to say. I guess what i meant to say was that ive gone through some firey trials and temptations, but i know God uses them for the best.

Have a blessed day everyone..:)

Happy New Year

Hm, the new year has finally rolled in, its 2011 and great things are to be expected.
I started off the new year with no new year resolution, just like always. But i really felt like i was going to act and treat things differently. I know that i really want my yes's to be yes and my no's to no. no maybes, or almosts.

things that i would like to achieve this year:

-Get into Gods word on a daily basis, this has been a struggle for me.

-Get better at guitar, which means a lot of practicing.

-Just worship God more at home

-go on a picnic with someone special

-find new things to be passionate about

hmm, i will have to update this later...


I hope everyones new year was amazing! I am SO looking forward to seeing what God has in store. im letting go of 2010 and saying HELLo to 2011. yay! :)
