loves in life.

being alone really makes you find out what your loves in life are.

i'm finding those things out little by little.

it's almost time to act upon a few as well.

adventure&risk,

here i come.

& living it to the fullest.

freedom.

here it is, February, & everyone is basking in the sunshine outside. caa-razy. but, also really great. i love this kind of weather. not too hot, not too cold, & beautiful to be outside, reading, pondering with a cup of coffee & being in the company of my best friends [duh, Jesus & my dog].

so, it's been like 3 weeks since i posted. what's been on my mind you say? well, a lot actually.

a ton.

however, the Lord has brought me Peace in that because every time my mind starts to wander off in la-la-land or to thoughts that are worry some, He brings me back to Him. He focuses my thoughts on that which is eternal. He has taught me a lot in the place that i am in right now. He has taught me to take compliments with more thanks than bitterness. if any of you know me, i am the worlds WORST at taking compliments. i will steer away from any compliment anyone gives me. He has taught me to embrace who i am even when perfection seems to get the best of me. i will not please everyone, but i strive to be more like Him every day with my life. i will fail others at times, & i will continue to be human & sin every day of my life; but that is no reason to intentionally act like a crazy person & do whatever the heck i want. He has taught me to embrace my true&genuine heart. in James 5:16 it says, "Therefore confess your sins to each other & pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful & effective." with confessing your sin comes freedom. freedom in who you are, freedom in who has died for you, freedom of who has paid that debt for you. & with that comes thankfulness & righteousness. i want other people to be open & honest with me because i want prayer to revolutionize me, our generation, & in turn the world.

when i rang in the new year with one of my best friends, we made prayer walls. this was our promise for 2012 to make it a year to completely revamp ourselves into prayer warriors. the Lord has been revamping my prayer life in so many ways. i have probably spent more time in prayer this past month than i have my total life. i know crazy right! but, i have found out so much about myself & God as well. prayer is a form of worship & it's totally not about me at all. worship is ALL ABOUT THE LORD. it is for HIS Glory, HIS Praise, & HIS Pleasure.

i'm so thankful to learn new things every day about my eternal Savior & the Life he has planned for me. a life called for His Pleasure.

In His Love.

Amy.
