He is jealous for me.

He is jealous for me.
Loves like a hurricane;
I am a tree. Bending
beneath the weight of
His wind and mercy.

This song has been in my head all day. I serve a jealous God. Jealous of my love, my time, my relationships, my activities, my life. He wants not just some or part of me, but ALL OF ME. How cool is that? He died for me. I am a sinner. I sin daily. We all do. But he doesn't care. His blood covers ALL OF OUR SINS! Not just some, all! The nails weren't what held Jesus Christ to the cross, only His love for me and you could do that!!!! His grace. Don't even get me started on His grace. It is sufficient. If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking. Think about that. His grace is so immense that if it were an ocean, we would all be sinking. Does that not grasp anyone else's mind but mine???? I am in love with my Lord. And am here to tell the whole world. To the ends of the earth, I will spread His glory. He is my provider. Yes, my dad will be out of a job on October 11th. But my family BELIEVES IN MIRACLES! My dad will have a job, in the Name of Jesus! God keeps His promises. He hears our prayers, our cries and He listens from the Throne of Heaven!!!! Thank you, Jesus.

It is for freedom He set us free.

Dear blog,
My day started out a little rough. Didn't get the score I wanted on my ACT so of course Satan did what he does best and placed all kinds of doubts, lies, and bad thoughts in my head. It worked for a little bit, but then I kept quoting Jeremiah 29:11..."He knows the plans He has for me. Plans to prosper me not harm me. Take care of me not abandon me. Plans to give me a future that I hoped for." That gives me such peace. I worry so much, thanks to my human nature, about what my future holds. It's my senior year and I'm not sure where or if I'm going to college when I get out. I'm running out of time and start getting stressed which really makes no sense... Why would I doubt the King of Kings? Lord of Lords? My sweet Father that takes care of me no matter what. It's stupid for me to get sidetracked with things of this world when I'm not going to spend my eternity here. "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will GIVE you the desires of your heart." I believe and pray this over my life daily. I trust that as long as I am delighting myself in Him, seeking and loving Him with all that I am, He will see that and bless that. He will give me the desires of my heart. He's got my back. And I rest on that. I find my comfort in Him and Him alone. I set my hope on You.
Love,

Awakening.

Hello there,
I'm Taylor and I love to write so I started a blog. I'm not even really sure what this is, how it works, or what to do. All I know.... is that I just needed a place to getaway and to write. I'm not gonna go into much detail about myself, that will progress. I just wanna test this out first. I am a girl who has a lot to say, but doesn't speak often. I love to create words from pictures. I love to be a voice through a piece of writing. I feel like I hear myself better if I write what I'm thinking, maybe that's weird, but that's me. I am a very joyful Woman of God. Oh, am I a Woman of God. He is the reason I live. I love to be inspiried. It's one of the best feelings in the world. I love people. My heart beats for Africa. The people, the children. His children. I feel called to be His hands and feet. To take care of the orphans and the widows. That's what were all called to do, I just take it literally and am gonna do something about it. I am planning on going for the first time next summer. I am so blessed and looking forward to being able to go. I feel like my future lies there and I can't wait for God to reveal to me if it does or not. I am a burning flame. One that never fades. My purpose is to leave fingerprints on every life I touch. And that's what I do. So I'm gonna keep writing. If you wanna listen, take a seat.
Sincerely,
Taylor-the one who will write for You.
