Finally.....

2006-05-15T17:55:00.000-07:00

I love life! I feel like I finally can say that I feel happy. For the last few months, I've kinda felt like crap, and I've felt kinda distant from God in a way....i dont know...cause in a way i was ignoring him...and pretending like he wasnt speaking to me. I have finally opened up and realized for like the millionth time that i cant do this, and by this i mean life, on my own. He is my daddy, my leader, my guide, my first love. I'm not done this process of renewl and change...im a work in progress......and the change just feels so awesome!
God Bless
Serena

2006-05-01T21:03:00.000-07:00

I want to know you inside out. I want to be so close I can feel your heart beat.I want to sit upon your lap and listen to you sing over me. You know me better than I know myself, but I, I dont know you like i want to know you. I want to be so close I can hear your most quiet whisper, your thoughts...i want to take you in like oxygen...drink in your spirit like water...I love you daddy...

Love: one of your precious creations

I love them so much. I just want to be there, to hold them and love on them.Arghh!!!!!

2006-04-28T21:08:00.000-07:00

why? This isn't right.

Im so ungreatful sometimes...
eyes of trust...trust that we will help them
A life full of sorrow
oh man, ahh...i love them
ridiculous
I want to hug them so bad...
so upsetting
beauty...

Daddy help me help them...they are so beautiful.

I love you.

MY God

2006-04-23T17:44:00.000-07:00

My God is so big
so strong and so mighty
there's nothing my God can not do

Just look deep into the eyes of this lion. I can just imagine the power and strength this lion must have. I would be scared out of my mind if I was alone with him. It reminds me so much of the power God really has. It blows my mind...he's so strong and big and powerful...yet he is just as gentle, loving and protective.....I just love my Daddy! Im so glad he's on my side!!!

Then Jesus said to his desciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes." Luke 12:22,23

Don't became so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formes maturity in you. Romans 12:2

The Love of my Daddy

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Proverbs 4:23

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them to your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 11:18

I believe what the bible says because I know in my heart it is the true word of God. I believe this verse is made for us all and we need to take it seriously and believe it with all our hearts: "Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am." Philippians 4:13

If you feel unworthy of his love or unhappy with who you are and the actions you are doing, or you feel lost spiritually or emotionally, if your struggling with your identity in christ, or you just flat out feel like crap, let me tell you from the words spoken to me from God "Lift up your head, fix your eyes on me. Do not be ashamed of me, or ashamed of yourself. You are beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful, inside and out and i love you. I am with you and will never leave you. You are mine for the taking."

Bqqr!!!!!!!....hehehe barb u understand the lingo

I freakin quit soccer....and now i feel so bad for my team and for my coach because i play defense and we were already lacking in defense and so now im gone and they are going to have to find someone new.....which probably means one of the mid fielders is going to have to play my position...and everyone on our team hates defense....so they are all going to be mad and upset.....and i'd like to say im doing the right thing because i dont have time for soccer...and i always had to miss church and i never had enough time to do homework....and i have youth...and volunteering...and ahhhhh!! i just feel really stressed still cause tomorrow i have to explain to the players that go to my school why im not playing next year....and ahhhh!!

The God of All Comfort

2006-04-04T21:50:00.000-07:00

This evening I was really upset about something, and I became very sad and wept for about 20 minutes in my room alone. I know I'm not being very specific about why I was upset, but that's the way I like it. Anyways...I put on the song "Praise You in this Storm" by Casting Crowns, and just cried to God....finally I realized I was isolating myself from allowing God to comfort me. So I asked God to be my comforter....and the next thing I know...he tells me to get my bible....so i reached down on to my bedroom floor where I see this piece of paper with different verses on it from youth like a month ago. And on the piece of paper 2 Cor 12:9 or something was written....but I only saw "2 Cor", so I was like "cool i like 2 Corinthians"....so i opened it up to 2 Cor and the first thing I saw was the title "The God of All Comfort"....and I was like whoa!
So I start reading it, and it was perfect for that very moment in my life.
So I wanted to share it with you...

The God of All Comfort
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

2 Corinthians 1:3 and 4

God Bless,
with love from a daughter of the Father of comfort

Dear God

2006-03-19T21:28:00.001-08:00

I love you God so much. You pour out your mercy over me when I dont deserve any simpathy. Then your lavashing love picks me up and you carry me in your arms and cuddle me like a lioness warms her cub. I dont deserve such love. Why do you continue to do this? How can anyone show so much compassion? It's amazing...no words can express your beauty and your love. I couldnt live without you, I need you Jesus like water, like breath, like rain. Thank-you God for your mercy and your grace. Your love is what keeps me going, it comforts me and shields me from evil. I would be completely lost without you.
Love your daughter
Serena xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Praise You in this Storm

2006-03-07T21:40:00.000-08:00

I was sure by now
That you would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I'll praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

- Casting Crowns (sorry Mrs.B I didnt say who wrote the song when you wrote your comment)

STOP! HAMMER TIME!

2006-03-05T21:50:00.000-08:00

I'm surrounded by the dead
As I look into their empty eyes
I see NOTHING
Where's the life?
Where's the fire?
I have a burning flame inside my heart,
But where is theirs?
Somebody set a spark,
Ignite a flame.
Their lives seem so worthless.
They all lack the understanding.
What's the point of living if their not "alive"?
Oh the sorrow...

SMILE!!!!!

2006-03-04T17:19:00.000-08:00

I CHALLENGE YOU TO SMILE EVERY TIME YOU SOMEONE SAYS JESUS LOVES YOU.

Let's Go!

So you want to change the world?
What are you waiting for?

-Natalie Grant

We spend so much time wanting and imagining ourselves making a difference in the world, but somehow we seem to forget that the LIVING GOD lives inside us. With God we can do anything we set our minds to.

Where You Lead Me

What is life
A thousand roads a thousand ways
And why am I
So afraid to move
I crossed the line
I'm stepping out so come what may
I'll give it all
Cause I'm drawn to You
As long as my heart is beating

Where You lead me, I will follow
Where You lead me, I'll give my life away
Where You lead me, I will follow
Forever and a day

I can't deny
Your very presence is my life
And why would I
Ever turn away
Cause deep inside
I know that i can not rely
On anything
Less than faith
As long as my heart is beating
This is all I'm dreaming of
To live completely in Your love

-Mercy Me
