My Life: Soli Deo Gloria

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." ~Jeremiah 29:11-13

My Spiritual Growth Spurt

God is so amazing!! I forget that too many times. When I heard about Catch's salvation this week, I thought about my own life as a Christian and how much I take God's love and salvation for granted. It really hit me tonight how EXTREMELY blessed I am that Christ loved me enough to give His life. His love for me is truly indescriblable.

I definitely had one of those awesome God Revelations today. I am just so amazed because this wasn't a result of a retreat or camp, just a bad day that turned into change of heart and a "spiritual growth spurt". When we were singing "Even If I Fall" (I LOVE THAT SONG), I had this indescribable feeling. I've been growing so much in my walk with God these past couple of months. I think my attitude towards people has been growing. I just seem to be in a happier mood. But tonight, as I was singing to God, I felt like I was being spiritually attacked. I felt like I shouldn't be so happy and kind of this guilty feeling. I really don't know how to explain it. I had some awesome conversations with people that I don't normally get to talk to, which was such a God thing because it was so encouraging. We also had a great mission trip meeting, which got me really pumped for this summer and to go out now and minister to the people in my school.

God is SO AWESOME!! I love when God surprises me at the most unusual times. I am so blessed to call Him my Father. He has filled me with this immense joy right now and I am so grateful. Even when I am at my lowest, God is faithful and never lets me go. I know I will have those low points sometimes, but God will give me the wisdom and strength to persevere. I really hope to show others how important God's love is. I want to have a positive attitude and show God's love to others, especially at school. God has given me joy these past couple of weeks and I pray that it will continue to radiate. GOD IS AMAZING!!

Here's a song from Jonah33 that has been on my heart the past couple of weeks...I surrender all my burdens, joys, fears, decisions, MY LIFE to my Savior:

Search me, know me
Try me and see
Every worthless affection hidden in me
All I'm asking for is that You'd cleanse me, Lord

Create in me a heart that's clean
Conquer the power of secret shame
Come wash away the guilty stain of all my sin

Clothe me in robes of righteousness
Cover my nakedness with grace
All of my life before You now I humbly bring
