Praise to the One Mighty God

God is so faithful. His love is so faithful and abundant. He knows how to pour out His love into me, and over floods my heart with it. You know Daddy God is so good, He never stops pursuing after us. He is constantly loving us and trying to reach out to us, but we have to see that and grasp it. God will come to us. He will respond to your prayers, your wants, and your needs. We are His children and He always comes to His children's plea. Lately God has done crazy, marvelous things in my life. He has been filling me up so I could go pour out to others. He's just always putting something new on my heart. My prayers have never been so long or so bold or so open. The closer you get with God though the prayers flow out. Last night in the Prayer Chapel on campus after a Bible Study students were in there praying to God that He would give us someone to pray for when we went to Walmart. Me being someone that has never prayed out loud really I just asked for boldness. I asked to make a difference. God literally put a certain face of an older man in my head. At that moment right there I became so loud and bold speaking my prayers out in the chapel in front of people, and soon I noticed it was only me and like four of my friends that were crying out with loud voices to God, which itself is amazing knowing that these guys had the same passion I was feeling. We all finish just praising God and go to Walmart, and right when i stepped in that door I was on a man hunt for this older man. I knew the Lord wanted me to speak to him so I was searching, and I found him sitting on a bench. John and Ryan prayed for me just to know what to say when I started to pray for this man because I have never done this. So I boldly walked up to him and asked him his name and he told me. George just looked confused so I sat down and I just said " Look God put you in my head tonight, He showed me you and told me you were in a heavy battle, a war and that I needed to come pray for you. George what battle is it? What can I pray for you for?" He looked so taken back and he simply said "Cancer." I just said "well I really want to pray for you right now" He told me he has been battling cancer since 2009. He also let me know that he was a new found Christian and believer in Christ. So there in Walmart on a bench I just started praying I prayed for strength, healing, comfort, and just for his faith to grow and for him to experience Daddy God's amazing love. Seeing a 71 year old man cry really touches me. He was so thankful for the prayer and just the love of God that I showed him. Jesus gives me the ability to love everyone like He does and that is amazing!

Oh, You Hold me, Forever You Hold Me.

Today in Convocation I heard a song and it said "Lord Your love it runs so deep every breath You breathe in me You don't give up on me and as long as my heart beats I know You will carry me You don't give up on me." This song means so much to me because I used to be so prideful and self-righteous that I though God had given up on me and I was a lost cause. That not even Jesus could forgive me and cleanse me of my sins. I know a lot of people that also say," I'm too far gone." But do they know that by saying this they are saying, "What Jesus did on the cross is not big enough to cover my sins."  Do you realize what you say when you say Jesus would not even forgive you for the things that you do. You are disrespecting God and telling Him He is not powerful enough. God is ALL MIGHTY! He is so powerful He does not even need us, He wants us. God does not give up on His children, not a single one of us. God pursues us in the purest way there is. He

Jesus Calms a Storm

For so many people it is so easy to worship and praise Jesus when everything is going right. When life is good and you are being surrounded by your friends and family and things seem to be going how you want. You are happy and for you it is easy to praise God and talk about how great our Father is.  But what happens to that joy and happiness when something goes wrong? What happens when something you think is so unfair occurs?  When a friend is taken out of your life unexpectedly? Some times when bad things happen we find ourselves wanting to blame God and we start to question Him. We do not stop to think how God was in the situation we only focus on the tragedy that occurred.  Yesterday some of my friends went hiking. They just wanted to enjoy a day that God had blessed us with. While hiking one of our friends fell an died. Faith Helbig was a sweet, outspoken, spunky, lively girl. I had the honor of getting to know her. She was a light to many. Her heart was beautiful and she wa

Though we don't understand our Father does.

If I had all the answers to life that would be great. If I knew why bad things happened to great people I would be content. But I don't understand why good people die in unfortunate ways, and I don't know why it has to happen to someone who was so harmless. Recently my dad dragged me to Alaska. Not wanting to go of course I still went. I was very weary how things would go just me and dad in Alaska for over a week. Well I got there late that night and the next morning dad was dragging me to work. I so didn't want to go sit in an office all day, but I just didn't know what God had planned for me. My dad had a secretary named Lavonna, and she was a pistol let me tell you. She was a sweet, caring woman, but she didn't take crap from anyone. She would do whatever it takes to take care of someone even someone who has hurt her. She was a strong willed woman who worked hard. Over the week Mrs Lavonna and I got really close. We would ride around and do things for dad, but
