A Journey With God

I am a young woman who has decided to blog my journey to become closer to God. Sure, I could keep this journey all to myself, but why do that when I can put it out there, for all to see? When it comes to getting closer to God, I'm not ashamed. He is a loving and caring God, and I want others to see that. I want others to become closer to God too.

I will be posting videos, music, words of wisdom, Bible quotes, thoughts (including my own), pictures and other stuff that I find helpful or a blessing on my journey to become closer to God. Hopefully my journey will help and bless others.

God bless. :)

Forgiveness breaks the cycle. It does not settle all questions of blame and justice and fairness; to the contrary, often it evades those questions. But it does allow relationships to start over. In that way, said Solzhenityn, we differ from all animals. It is not our capacity to think that makes us different, but our capacity to repent, and to forgive. Only humans can perform that most unnatural act, and by doing so only they can develop relationships that transcend the relentless law of nature.

Philip Yancey, “An Unnatural Act,” Christianity Today, (April 8, 1991) p. 37.

With my love and my sadness, I come before you Lord. My heart’s in a thousand pieces, maybe even more. Yet I trust in this moment you’re with me somehow. You’ve always been faithful, so Lord, even now… When all that I can sing is a broken hallelujah, when my only offering is shattered praise… Still a song of adoration will rise up from these ruins, I will always worship you and give you thanks.. Even when my only praise is a broken hallelujah…

Rascal Flatts - I Won’t Let Go

It’s like a storm
That cuts a path
It’s breaks your will
It feels like that

You think your lost
But you’re not lost on your own
You’re not alone

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
If you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let go

It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it’s dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we’re too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight

And I wont let you fall
Don’t be afraid to fall
I’m right here to catch you
I won’t let you down
It won’t get you down
You’re gonna make it
Yea I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I wont let go
Oh I’m gonna hold you
And I wont let go
Won’t let you go
No I wont

Laura Story - Blessings

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

What if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we’d have faith to believe

‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It’s not our home

‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can’t satisfy?

And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?
