His Love

~ Through a single set of eyes I'm hard to see. From a greater perspective it's all I am to be. My existence is because of the Great I Am. Wishing to be felt by all that breathe, though many will live, die, and never hear of me. I’m a promise covering all sin. Death wins without me, but because of my power and ceaselessness, death is destroyed as life is lifted. Weakness and anger are blinded at my perfection and righteousness. I’m the love between God and His children. Between two worlds, I've always been and will always be. ~ Over and over I've read about it in the Bible, how His never fails, why is it so hard to see on earth? Its meaning has been lost in a sea of evil and people are giving up on the search. Maybe they're afraid of never finding it, but if they only knew the power of God's love and what it's capable of. It's more than just a feeling, it's a life style.

winter break in the states

On December 9th, 2011 I went home to an awesome family and began one of the hardest four weeks of my life. Walking into my home, the realization of how blessed I was, was all I could think about. As a looked around at all I had, I couldn’t help but thank God. Reuniting with my best friend brought tears of joy and many struggles I had never experienced before. I learned in the past few weeks how much I had changed from the last time I was in the states. My thought process had dramatically changed, the way I spent my time changed, and a lot of friendships changed. Being the older sister of two brothers can be difficult at times, but I continued to try to be the best example to them as I could. Being thrown back into the American way of life caused me to feel selfish, but because of a month of prior preparation through prayer, God gave me a love I would not have had otherwise. Temptations were stronger, trials were harder, but God’s love was the same. Through the hard times I was reminded that the God I fell in love with in Costa Rica, is the same God here in Georgia. I have never been so fully captivated by something so beautiful. Jesus has my entire heart and my desire is burning like a million stars”.
