yay for God being on our side!!!


mmm sooo if you have never seen the movie Facing the Giants, i would "encourage" you to do so. I have seen it about 5 times, and each time God has shown me something, or someone close to me something awesome. Anyway, one of the songs, Never Give Up, by Josh Bates plays in one of the scenes. "You never give up on me, No, You never give up on me, Though I’m weak you are strong,You told me I still belong, No, you never, never give up on me." Those words keep ringing in my head and have comforted me, and encouraged me in that God is constantly trying to get my attention, and whispering those words if only I would let Him. When we stop what we are doing, and actually LISTEN, the emotions can be overwhelming. Knowing this makes me want to encourage others!!! How many times do we offer even a smile or a hug to someone when we are having a "good day"? Probably a lot more than when we are tired, or have too much "stuff" to do (by a schedule we probably created....)But the thing is, Philippians 1:6 says "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." God is always at work in us, and is always knocking on our door- the door of our heart. Be encouraged, He is going to finish what He started. Again, be encouraged! &Encourage others!

A New Beginning....!!!!!!!!!!

God has done some awesome stuff in my life, and i cant wait to share it with everyone throughout my week. Anything from verses that got me through the day, song lyrics that helped me stay sane through my crazy schedule, sharing stories of my inspirational friends and family, and showing all the love i have for my Savior and best friend :)
