we werent created for our gifting. we were created for our heart to be fascinated and in love with God. the evangelist wasn't created for the purpose of evangelizing or the prophet to even prophesy. without love, it's worthless. we were created, above everything, for intimacy with Him. that should consume us so much more than our gifting or calling. 

at the end of the day, all i really want is my heart to be alive in God. a dead/dull heart is miserable.  

a song from the holy spirit to my heart. too bad i cant sing, or i would sing it to you. guess He just wants me to sing it with Him.

it doesn't bother Him that you ask Him the same questions.

it doesn't bother Him that you need to hear the answer again.

the reason you have the question in your heart is because the question is on His heart.. He's saying, "do you think I'm beautiful? do you think I'm lovely? do I steel your heart? do I catch your eye?  what do you think about  me? how do you feel about me?" 

you want to hear the answer because He wants to hear the answer every single day...that you think He's beautiful. that you call Him lovely. that He's the one that has your attention. He's the one that has your affections.

and He loves to answer the question. He loves when you ask the question. He longs to lavish His love upon you. He longs to tell you over and over again that He thinks you're beautiful and He calls you lovely. and He's overwhelmed by your devotion to Him. He's so proud of you and He says you're doing just fine. He's so proud of you; He says you're doing just fine. 

i love when you look at Me. i love when you think about Me. 

so lift up your eyes and unstop your ears, because the Father of glory has something to say to you. He wants you to know that you're beautiful. He wants you to know that you've stolen His heart. the humble God is overwhelmed with your love. 

it really doesn't bother Him that you ask the same questions.

it really doesn't bother Him that you need Him to tell you again. 

...because He wants you to tell Him again. 

anyone want to run a half marathon with me?

school, bikes, banana bread

for some reason i'm having an itch to go back to school... 

ive just been looking at Gwinnett Technical College.. it's right down the street. they have some interesting classes though.. floral design, horticulture.. been thinking about graphic design and dental assistant programs too.. hhmmm... and of course cake decorating is still in the things-i-want-to-do. i actually need to go check out this place today where classes start next week. maybe that will help this itch.. its an odd feeling. i'm probably just bored. ha.

i moved into a new condo yesterday. its sweet! i like it a lot and think i'll be here for a while. 

i also had a sudden urge today to buy a bike.. so i found one on craigs list that im about to go look at. haha. i'm in a strange mood today. and i just ate a lot of banana bread, i kinda feel sick. i made it with applesauce instead of eggs and its just as good, for the record. now i gotta figure out how to cut out the cup of sugar.. i'm gonna try honey next time. i'll let you know how it is..

im all over the place todayy. 

may the father bless you today with the sweet presence of the holy spirit and revelation of Jesus !!!
