"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength..."

"Take my dreams, come and give them wings
Lord with you there's nothing I cannot do"



These lyrics resonate really strongly in me. It reminds me that while I think I can do good things, God can do unbelievable things through me. While I can accomplish simple goals, my hopes and dreams are better to be put in God's hands and not in mine!

Never Grow Up...

I had this "I don't want to get older because i'm having such a great time now...i know i'll miss NOW so baaaaaaadly" phase.



But...

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

I think I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too attached to my life on earth.

Martha

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Luke 10: 38-42


I think I'm showing some Martha symptoms...please pray that I can wake up, and choose what is better, what cannot be taken away from me.

Too early?

hey ladies!

2 questions:

-When you are considering dating, should you consider whether you see yourself married to the person for the rest of your life? Is it too early? Especially if you're both Christian and you know that he'd be striving for that too and youre both approaching a "marriage age"?

-Also, what do you think about people "growing on you"? (you arent attracted to him right away...but as time passes you realise that he's alright!) Would you girls date someone hoping they'd grow on you cause he's a safe choice ie fits all your criteria but you just arent attracted to him for whatever reason?


Dontaa worry! I am not going through these situations! They have just been random annoying thoughts since ppl have been subtly telling me that i can now consider dating (thanks for the permission..! lol)
