That Little Brown Bible
Staying up late searching the
computer knowing there is a reason
why I'm up this late. Right before I
go to bed, I see the reason. The reason
is that someone needed someone to talk
to. I stayed up and made plans. Going to
bed because I have to get up in 7 hours
and go to breakfast. Something I do
in a great while if ever. Yet I was needed
there and that was the plan. Or at least
I hoped it was. Too sleepy to stay up
and see.
Got up and went to breakfast that next
morning. I was the 1st on there. Hoping
that the message was got and I wouldn't
be sitting there alone. I got my breakfast
and started to eat it. Next thing I know I
wasn't alone. After a few minutes, I heard
a "good morning" and saw a smile in front
and across from me. Asking if this
sit was taken. I said, "no." We didn't
talk much, which now I regret a little
bit but I noticed something very
important.
Not only did I notice the break that was
across from me. Fried eggs, grits, and
whatever else was on that plate. I noticed
something more important. I noticed that
on top of the text book, there was a little
brown bible on there. I remember what
was said and that was, "I didn't know
if you got my message back or not so
I brought my Bible just in case.
You see when I woke up I made sure to
check and see if I got a message back
before I had to walk all the way to
breakfast because it was a long walk
for that early in the morning and we
both had class right afterwards. To be
honest, I didn't think about that little
brown Bible a lot back then and what it
meant because where we were everyone
had a Bible at some point or carried one
around everywhere. But now as I think
back on it, it meant something and I knew
it.
That little brown Bible was the hope that
I needed to get through the years I had
ahead of me and I'm not just talking
about the Bible itself. Yet when you see
it with a person that early in the morning
and seeing that that person would have
spent time with God if I didn't show up
should tell you something. Yet sometimes
we get away from those small moments
and forget what really matters and that
we should be taking our Bible everywhere
with us because we never know who
will notice it.
For me and that morning at breakfast,
it was me that noticed it and then really
noticed the person that had it. It was a
surprise for me because where I came
from it was very seldom if at you that
you say people carrying a Bible around
just because. Granted it was a Christian
college but still. That morning has never
left my mind in the years past that one.
What we do can leave a impact on people
so we have to be careful about what we
say and how we act.

Just couldn't get the image out of my mind until I wrote about it. Now, hopefully, it won't come back for awhile. There is a reason for all of this but I can't share it on a public blog.

Beautifully Rooted
Colossians 2:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received in Jesus Christ as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Since I didn't have my internet for awhile and had a women's conference this past weekend, my first one forever, if not in awhile, I've been thinking about Grace. While I was praying, last week, something came over me. "To have Grace is one way to be beautifully rooted in Christ." This thought came to me too because I was thinking about people that I needed to show Grace to. I want them to see that I am beautifully rooted in Christ.
I want a sign painted for me to hang in my apartment with those words on it. But back to the whole Grace thing. "Beautifully rooted in Grace" would be sweet. You get that as a gift and you give it has a gift. When you are able to give Grace, even to the hardest people, you are truly rooted in it. For women, it makes us look and act more beautifully. Add Grace to the Love talked about in the verse and you are more beautiful and the appearance of God then ever before. That saying can work as a theme and should in every area of life. I was even thinking my wedding shower or Bride's shower. What wait for then when we could be living it out now? You need to be living your life out where people can see you rooted and built up in Him. Even to help you get through all of the processes before marriage. When you are strengthen in faith and thankful in everything, then you are joyful and at peace with God and everything around you. You need to be full of Christ before you can get full of anything else or go onto anything else.
I guess you could say that this verse is a verse that I learned the meaning of this past weekend. Being a women and wife of God, you need to CONTINUE to live your life in Him. You can start living your life in Him as soon as you find a husband. You need God first and center of your life and then He will bring that husband to you if it is in His Plans for you. I like the word "continue" because it shows us that we should be doing it all the time. Not just here and there. That word is a powerful one in this verse. Going back to my phase that I am talking about on here, Beautifully rooted in Grace is just one way to live your life for Him and loving people is another way too.
It was also funny because I was thinking about my future baby girl and how neat it would be to decorate her room with that saying and nature/woodland theme. Most importantly, have her grow up with that thought already in her mind. Even have that verse for her from Colossians 2:6-7 as her verse.
Disclaimer: None of that is happening soon. Just in my dream land world. :)
There will be a poem in the next two weeks about this saying. I think it would make a beautiful one so I am going to try to write one.

Dependent on Technology
Over the weekend and a couple of days before then my Internet was off and on. It wasn't working well and then yesterday it totally stopped until it was time for bed. A computer guy came and fixed it today for me. I had mixed feelings about letting him fix it.I even thought "let's wait another week since I am busy this week and won't be home this weekend to mess with it".
The first couple of days I don't know if I was mad at the computer people or myself. I had to call the computer company 4 times until I could get someone to come to my place. My moden was old and that was the problem. Was I mad at myself because I have come so dependent of a machine? I needed a weekend where I couldn't get on at all. God knew it for some reason. I had been trying to cash a check from work for 3 days and couldn't because it was down. I finally get Wi Fi on my phone to where I could cash it in and that was a McDonald's parking lot across from my apartment. Sad I know.
That's when I realized how dependent I was and how this world is on technology. Saturday I had to go out and do something or I would have gone crazy. I did things around my house but like kids these days, I got as taste of not being able to stay on focus. I started things but didn't finish them. Sad. I went and had lunch with a friend and went shopping with her. I even went to church with my friend too. It felt ok that I did that. I wasn't missing out on anything even though I did. The message at church was on Grace and Freedom in Christ. How ironic, right?
Sunday was even a more blessed day without it. I got up went to church at 9:00 and was happy and smiling even the pastor noticed and said something about it. Not only that but felt like I could hear God better without all those things to compare with. I colored with a little girl that's deer to my heart in Sunday School. I got to shake hands with people I never did before during the service. After I got home and notice the computer wasn't working, I did some things for work and some house chores. The sermon was about betrayal. After awhile, I was like "ok, God you must want me to pray about something" so I did. I prayed a 4 page prayer, longest I have prayed in awhile. I went back to see if it would work and it didn't so I took a little nap and then cooked dinner.
I really wasn't looking forwards to the computer guy coming today because I knew that I would be back on it non stop. As soon as the computer guy got it up and running again, I felt back in touch to reality, which is sad. I felt like I could talk to people again, which is sad. We shouldn't need Facebook, messager, YouTube, or anything else like that to keep in touch. We should keep in touch face to face. That is another thing that I learned this past weekend without it. I would rather text too because it is more personally I feel then Facebooking. When I colored with that little girl, shook hands with people, and looked people in the eyes I felt apart of something. I felt like I had something to talk about with them. I didn't know what was going on so I could asked.
I also felt like I had more time to pray and talk to God. I feel like I waste most of my time on the Internet when I could be cleaning my house or doing something like that. It is a block these days with having real relationships. We think we know everything about everyone because it is on the Internet when really we don't. It is just the good things going on in their lives and that is good sometimes but it is when we get down to the mess and gitty things that we get the closet to people and really know them. If I did miss anything, it was being able to write here and cashing and checking my bank account. Those are the two things I really missed and oh, yeah watching YouTube when I had nothing else to do but then again that is where I waste some of my time too.
What I learned through this past few days is this: "I need to take some time off every once in awhile and just enjoy God and people." It is funny too because in the sermon on Sunday, it was also mentioned that Jesus loved people. When you think about it, Jesus took the time to go to the people and really get to know them, not just write them over the computer. :)

Mountains That Needs to Be Moved
I am reading this book and there is a chapter in there that talks about Faith and it moving the mountains in our lives. The mountains are things, bad things, that keep us from moving towards and with God. They are things that block our Faith in Him and what He is doing in our lives or can do in it. I made a list of my mountains so I could pray for them to be removed every once in awhile. I think it is good to have that list so you can also be aware of them and look back when you are wondering why do I feel this way or what happened. Here is my list that I have started so far:
-Loneliness
-Regret
-Guilt
-Self/Pride
-Stubbornness
-Hopelessness
-Anxiety
-Self-doubt
-Being overwhelmed/busy
-Mistrust
-Fear of failure
-Other people
-Being in debt
-I know this one seems like a little one but when you live by yourself it is a big one at times. You get so worried because you can't pay it off right away and it just keeps building up to where you never think you will be able to pay it off.
-"Now" moment
-When I say the "now" moment this is what I mean: I mean when I get so upset because I have to repeat myself a lot of times or I don't stop and think how I am acting towards the children or what I am saying towards them. It might not seem like it is working at that moment but in the long run it does. You just have to wait for it. It is like I need more patience.
-Future
-This one is a big one for me because I always look towards the future when really I should be looking at the present day and where I am right now and focusing on that. I should believe that God has the future in His Hands and that should be enough.
-Weakness
-I know for me that weaknesses can keep me from doing a lot of things because I think I don't have the strength to do them or the ability.
-Excuses
-Using excuses when I think can't do anything even without trying it at all. Excuses could be the easy way out of that hard thing that we need to do but don't want to do. It could help us but at the same time hurt us.

Believing a Lie
Believing a lie is probably the biggest problem is this world today. As humans, we let things get to us that really shouldn't get to us. We call those things lies. We believe because they are told to us over and over again whether through TV, magazines, or other people. The worst time that a lie or few lies can come to you is when you are all by yourself. That is when the devil gets you at your best and at least to him anyways. I am a person that believes those lies and when you do they can really mess you up as a person. If you believe too many at the same time you can have high anxiety at times. I know my anxiety come from believing lies and trying too hard to not make them or make them happen depending on what the lies was.
There is a big lie that I am believing and that lie is: "I am the one messing everything up in a relationship. If only I did this or that things would be okay. It is all my fault." I am sick of thinking that it is my fault. That the big important decisions that I make or don't make are my fault. I know that the devil likes to try to blame us for something that isn't true or that we didn't do ourselves. I feel like he is really getting to me this time and he has been for a few months. I know we all believe a lie without knowing it at times and then we might know that we are believing other lies. A lie that we believe is that we have to believe a lie if we are going to be humans, right? I feel like I believe at least one lie every season of my life and this season is that it's my fault things aren't working out.
I know it just can't be my fault and only my fault in this and I am not blaming anyone else. I don't want to. That is probably why I am taking it all on myself. That is why I am believing that lie. I am covering up for the other person. We are all humans and we do that from time to time but is that really right? Is it right to cover up for a person so much that it makes our lives misable to live. In a way, it is my fault because I am getting too into it and letting it over take me when really I should give it all to God and go deeper with Him.
We need God so that we can put Him in the faces of these lies that we believe with our human flesh and of this world. We need God so that He can give us truth to face those lies head on. It is funny for us to think that a lie will go away in a day or few weeks when really it won't. If we let Satan get a hold of them, they can go deeper and deeper. I don't want this lie that I am believing right now to do that because it will tear me about if I am honest with myself. I am trying to be stronger then that. I am trying to learn what I can do to get rid of this lie and become stronger in Christ. I am trying to grow in Him.
I am thinking the more I grow in Christ the more that I won't believe lies like "it is my fault" or "I am not good enough". I will have Christ on my side and know that no matter what He is always going to love me for me even when I do mess up. He sees the really meaning behind everything even if the person we talking to doesn't. He sees the good and bad intentions. When I look at it through a real way glass way, I know I am trying my best to listen to and follow God. There is so much I want to say but yet I don't know how it will come across. There is so much around me but yet I am focusing on this one thing when I shouldn't be at all. I mean I am even reading this book and thinking about this one situation and seeing how it is all working out in that person's life.
Yet who I really should be thinking about and focusing on is me and how I can get closer to God during this hard and free time. Guys, I don't know if I speak for you but I know I speak for most of the girls out there when I say those 2 lies that I just mentioned are the most common one in our lives. We tend to compare ourselves to a lot of people when really we don't need to because we are already beautiful and cared for in the One's Eyes that really matter for life. When we believe that TRUTH, we can do so much for God. But that is the problem, Satan wants to keep us back from doing anything for Him.
So this is how I look at it: "So what if we do feel like we have messed up here on earth or if other people think we did. God knows the truth and if it was right in His Eyes, then we are headed to a place better then here. Am I right?" Don't let Satan tell you that it is your fault because you are trying to be a friend or nice to someone who isn't nice back. You are doing your part and that is all that matters.
There is a big lie that I am believing and that lie is: "I am the one messing everything up in a relationship. If only I did this or that things would be okay. It is all my fault." I am sick of thinking that it is my fault. That the big important decisions that I make or don't make are my fault. I know that the devil likes to try to blame us for something that isn't true or that we didn't do ourselves. I feel like he is really getting to me this time and he has been for a few months.

What If It's Me-A Poem
It is unusual for me to start a month with a poem, espically when I just wrote one not too long ago, but I felt that it was needed for this topic. I felt like I can express myself better in a poem form then a typical blog form. Here is the poem:
What If It's Me
What if it's me? What if
All the waiting that I am
Doing is because of myself?
What if it's been me all along
And I am just not realizing that?
All of these what if questions in
My head.
Doing is because of myself?
What if it's been me all along
And I am just not realizing that?
All of these what if questions in
My head.
What if it's me that isn't ready
To commit? Not ready for that
Kind and that long. Don't know
If I could live with someone for
The rest of my life.

What if it's me that doesn't
Understand what a marriage
Really means? Marriage is suppose
to be all about finding that one
special person right? The only
one that completes you. It is
suppose to be easy and happy
all the time. We can't mess up
in it because if we do, then we
have no idea what it is about.

Helper that you deserve? I know
I am weak and not what you want
me to be. I know I will never measure
up to your expectations of a women.
You see me as a weak person that
needs help when really I am strong and
can help you just as much. What if I am
too stubborn at times because I had to be
living by myself?

holding you back from your dreams

Christ.
Back. I feel like I am holding you
back from all you can be. I feel
like if you like me then you won't be
able to do what you want to do on
your own. I feel like it will be me

holding you back from your dreams
and ambitions. Not only will I be
holding you back from your dreams

What if it's me that messes up all
The time? I can't be perfect like you
want me to be. I am human too. I will
mess up a lot. Will you be okay with
that? Will you let it slip by? I will make
the wrong decisions and have the wrong
ideas but yet will you still stay by my
side?

I am human and I get down and
discouraged sometimes too. What

One chance to really love. All of
These what if questions in my head.
They must mean that I really love a
Lot. If I am thinking this much about
things, do you think? Yet there is one
thing I know and it is this: There is One
Person who can Love us both without
ever changing and that is God, Himself.
As long as we each are complete in Him,
then we can work through things together.
Might not be easy but at least we know
Who to look to when the time is right.
We will know that we are never alone
either because God is always on our side.
Always has been and always will be.

Just a little side note to say that I am still learning about completeness in Christ and what marriage really is. Yes, some of these questions, if not all, go through my mind a lot of times. I know if I trust God and look to Him and work on my relationship with Him that I won't worry about it as much. Yet, I would still like to say to the people out there that think singles are just crazy when they think these questions: "Yes, we have God on our side and He is as close as anyone could ever get even a husband but yet as humans we have those humans needs that God cannot fill." That I strongly believe in.
I will say this on here too that I know people are trying to help when they say, "God is with you and will get you through it" but there are some things that just can't be filled by Him. Some people might think I am crazy for saying that on my blog but it is true. God also made us human with human needs so He understands too. Yes, I agree that we shouldn't make other people our idol or depend on them for everything under the sun but God will give us the wisdom to tell those things apart. At least, that is what I believe right now.
If you are a real life friend of mine and would like to talk to me about what I just said I am willing to listen because like I said I am still learning but right now this is where I stand.
