There are Plenty of Fish Out There

Well, so I have been doing a lot of thinking about this crazy thing called dating. Why is this concept crazy to a 20, almost 21, year old? It's crazy because I have been single my entire life. As crazy as it may seem to some people, and it seems crazy to me sometimes, but honestly I definitely was not ready for a real relationship.

Lately, I have been thinking about dating, relationship with a guy(scary thought right there, lol), but I think, I think I'm ready. Or at least finally ready to have a closer relationship with a guy than I have normally had in my life. Maybe not dating, but something more than just a friend, maybe a best friend. Who knows.

Gah... I don't know, it's just so nerve-wrecking for me to think about going on a first date, just the thought of it is a little awkward. All I know is I need to listen to myself to know when to take things to the next step, I shouldn't force myself to go where I am not ready, even if people my age are getting married.

Everyone's different and I just need to take it at my own pace.

God is Love

You should totally read 1 John 4:7-21 before you read my blog post, but since I know you probably will not, that's ok too. But it's a great section if you haven't read it before.
So "God is love," that is a phrase that is said so many times in the church and by other Christians, but as redundant as it may sound, it's so true.

If you read it, it's mentioned almost every verse. One of my favorite verses that is just so "woah, woah, woah, woah." (lol).
     "Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4:8

How crazy is that! If you don't love then you don't know God. To better explain what I felt as soon as I read it, I am just going to copy what I literally just wrote a few minutes ago.

" 1 John 4:7-21 Is an absolutely beautiful chapter or section. It talks about how God is love. And that he loved us first because we love and God is love, therefore we know God. And because we love and when we love others, others see God . It also talks about how when we have love we don't have to fear, for the love God has in us conquers the fears we have."

So I guess if you really wanted to evangelize to others, one of the best ways is to show love to them and well I already mentioned, but basically they will see God. How great is that!

Your Beautiful

As much as I want to go to sleep, I just can't. I just have the urge to worship my Heavenly Father. It basically started with listening to Phil Wickam's song, "Beautiful." If you haven't heard it I definitely reccomend that you listen to it. It's such a great song of worship. And it's caused me to just really worship my Father in all His beautiy and glory. I mean it is Father's Day, so it's only appropiate.

Now it's storming outside. Which is honestly my favorite weather, the lightning, the thunder. It's just another part of God's creation that causes me to look up to Him as my mentor in art. I mean He created it all so why not?

If you can't sleep, why not spend that with me worshipping our God rather than spending it doing something else?

Praise Him for what He's done this past week. Thank Him for everything He has provided or anything. Ask Him for anything that you need. Pray for the church that there would be a down pouring of the Holy Spirit and authentic worship in churces around the world. Pray that God would give you boldness to tell at least one person about Him this week. Pray for your family. Pray for the Soldiers fighting for our freedom on and off the battlefield. Pray that God would keep us from temptation and keep us in Him word to find of the Devil, using the sword God's given us. Pray for the victims of trafficking, labor and sex. Pray for orphans, and widows. Pray for families that are falling apart.

Leave a comment, I'd love to pray for you. :)

End your prayers with more thanksgiving and praises! That's the way Jesus taught us to pray. :)
