My head has been empty,
My heart has been full.
To my future husband:
I am so overwhelmed right now because I can’t get rid of the thought that I need you NOW, but I don’t. I am learning and growing in the Lord and I’m not ready to give my heart to you yet. God hasn’t finished molding it for yours. I cannot wait to see God’s handy work and see how well our hearts will fit together. I cannot wait to fall in love with you.
I'm praying for you. Sometimes I stop what I'm doing and simply pray for your life and that you have strength in the Lord and overcome whatever you might be going through. I hope you're happy and filled with joy right now. I'm thinking about you...always. I love you.
No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means-the only complete realist.
-C.S. Lewis
happy mothers day: our rock.
Did I forget to mention my sister had her child?
Oh, well here's the Prince. Aaron Pierre was born April 12th.
Today was my sisters first mothers day, obviously. She, our mama, and myself went to an air show and then went bowling. We of course couldn't keep our eyes and hands off of the little one. He's such a blessing regardless of the circumstances.
Aaron; Exalted, Strong. Brother of Moses. Aaron was appointed directly by God to be the first high priest. Aaron was a forerunner of Jesus Christ in his role as the high priest. His priesthood was a "shadow of heavenly things," and was intended to lead the people of Israel to look forward to the time when "another priest" would arise.
Pierre: Rock.
This child has a powerful name and I know God has a plan for him, as He does all of us. Aaron is also our rock and will be the rock that keeps his own family together.
Psalm 127:3 (NKJV)
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward
looking back.
I was looking through my blog from September 2009 to now, and I have certainly come a long way. I realize what meant a lot to me at those times, and what means a lot to me now. My life has changed drastically. I went from being in a happy relationship, to a rocky one, to becoming single. I went from depressed to the happiest I've ever been. I went from being a foul mouth girl, to a lady who wouldn't even consider saying such words. I went from not even thinking about God, to Him being the main focus in my life.
I laughed. I reminisced. I cried.
I now realize I may not be over a few things, but I can certainly live without them.
a friend sticks closer than a brother.
I'm not entirely sure what to say right now. It's late. I have a lot on my mind. I'm cold.
All I can say is that I thank God for the friends I have in my life and the brothers and sisters they have become. There has been a lot going on in my life in the past few days, that I'm still trying to catch up. I've stayed grounded because of the friends that I have. They have lifted me up and I have learned how to not only be a better friend, but also a better person in general.
I have a lot to work on. I'm not saying I'm perfect. I'm far from it, and like I've said in the past, I don't want to be. That would mean I don't need Him by my side always.
I know people are seeing this radical change in me and a lot don't like that change, or they aren't very comfortable with it, but I'm happy.
I think I just rambled on.
Update with pictures very soon.
