Why Are We Hiding

Feelings and emotions can be one of the hardest things to talk about. I know personally I like to hide things, and not always tell everyone how I feel. Some times I even think I can hide how I feel from God. As silly as that sounds I know plenty of people struggle with this. The best part is, we do not have to wear a mask over our hearts before our Father. We can let it all out, and just be as broken as we really are. In that one moment that you are open and allow God to see you He heals you. Not only do people try to hide things, but they also just think "Oh God knows how I feel already so why should I tell Him?" Communication is the most important part of a relationship. If you are not communicating in constant prayer with God how do you expect Him to be close to you? So many times I have asked myself "Mallorie, why are you hiding? What has God done to make you think that He cannot be trusted with your feelings?" That is where I find myself stuck. If those questions were about anyone else I could list reason after reason for why they cannot be trusted, but those questions are about God. My Father has never broken a promise to me. My Father has never forsaken me, or left me alone in a time of need. My Father has never given up on me even when I gave up on Him. That is the beauty of God. Even though we all hide from Him time to time He is still right there beside us. He is just asking us why we will not let Him comfort us. Through my last couple of weeks I have really noticed how guilty I have been of hiding my emotions from God. I get so comfortable hiding everything from everything else around me I have noticed I have started to do that with God. The craziest part about this is I know what I am doing now, and I can stop. The best thing about God is knowing that His love is just always around me, it is overwhelming my soul. I know that that love never stops either. I could never make my God not love me. So my encouragement for you- Do not hide your thoughts and feelings from God. Let them out, be real with Him. Talk to Him and tell Him everything that is going on even though He already knows. He is still listening and it makes your relationship with Him so much stronger. I mean why would we not want the King of all Kings to comfort us. He is our rock, and our stable ground even when everyone else we have ran to seems to be shaky. 

Hebrew 4:13 " Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."

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
