love this week. 
love how I can spend time with the Lord by just jotting down things in my journal. I’ve been thirsty for this time, and this week I have the luxury to do so. 

Thank You thank You thank You for this time! This time of rest!

Mmmmm Will Reagan’s “Climb” & Rend Collective Experiment’s “10,000 Reasons”!

Daddy’s back from Africa!

Yeah!

Punching the President in the face? Punching God?

These past two weeks have been the most difficult out of the many weeks I’ve been obeying to this conviction. 

I can see myself wanting to compromise and making compromises here and there.. but this must stop. 

Who am I kidding? With the Almighty God?

Oh God, I am so weak. 
Please give me strength everyday. 
Please remind me daily. 
Please please protect me.. 

Sigh. 
But He is still faithful to me. 

Thank You.

Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons from coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.

I feel like I am dreaming.. :)

Honestly, I thought it would make things worse for me but it rather gives me peace.

It’s all up to God.
It always has been, it always is, and it always will be. 

Hehe

Wholehearted

It’s 2AM at night and even though it’s quite past my bed time, I was once again compelled to write a letter of blessings in my special journal until this song caught my attention. 

Lord I want to be wholehearted
God I want to be wholehearted
God I want to be wholehearted
In my love for You
In my love for You

Lord I want to love what You love
And I want to hate what You hate
You know I want to be closer to You
Declare Your name
Declare Your name

In this time of confusion and struggle between my flesh and my commitment.. God gently reveals my heart. God reveals how weak I am but He also reveals my desire to fulfill the promise and to just please Him. 

God, I am struggling with this promise not because I want to seem a certain way to others. 
Rather, God, I am struggling because I want to give You all of my heart. That was what I promised and that is what I am going to keep. 

Lord, I often fail to keep my words and promises.. 
But Lord, You are the only being I am using every strength possible to not give up and keep my words to. 

I want to give you all of my heart. Every inch of it. 
I want to give you all of my attention. Every thought. 

Sometimes I worry that things won’t fall into place the way I want, but again I am reminded of Your sovereignty. 

And quite frankly, You, my Lord, You, this relationship is too precious for me to give up. Who knows where I will be in a year with You? Who knows.. and it’s such an exciting thought. 

So God, this is my prayer. 
Lord help me to be wholehearted to You.
Let my love for You to never run dry. 
Let me be faithful to You like You have been to me.. 

You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness

And I look to You
And I wait on You

I’ll sing to You Lord
A hymn of Love
For Your faithfulness to me
I’m carried in everlasting arms
You’ll never let me go
Through it all

It still makes me so sad sometimes. 
How do people go through this over and over again?

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
