Two years ago, I wrote this blog. I was in a season of brokenness. Of rediscovering who I am. Who the Lord says I am. And what faith and love truly mean to me. It is so encouraging to look back at a writing, remembering the season you were in, and seeing the redemptive story play out and the journey my beloved has taken me on sense then. There is so much to be thankful for. I have a God who loves me and leads me to a greater joy every day. Obedience to him is following him into a gift thats waiting for you to experience a deeper satisfaction than you can ever comprehend. Thank you my love for relentlessly pursing me. For seeing me as worthy, and calling me a new name.
I am yours, and you are mine.
November 2nd, 2009: "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life"
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
"God blesses those who wait patiently endure testing and temptation,
Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to
those who love him." - James 1:12
He is the molder of our hearts
He has created us to be in his image
and that is something I am pursuing everyday
If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
-Jeremiah 29:13
------
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands
------
Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
-Psalms 37:7
Faith..
Something that is tested daily
My faith in him
Im putting all of my trust in him
You must be completely empty to be completely filled
Completed in him
lacking nothing
He is the God of love.
The God of hope.
And the one who holds my heart
and speaks truth to me
Always be joyful. Never stop praying.
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this
is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Im in a neat place
Having to depend completely on him
It allows him to invade my soul
causing it to stir
An intimacy in our relationship
that is purified and deepened.
-----
Cast all of your worries and anxiety on me Alexandra
Let me make your broken heart new
Trust in my plan for your life
for it is perfect and good.
Take my hands
and let me guide you to our secret place
I love you more than anyone ever can
and I am the only one who can truly fulfill your needs
Trust me
and give yourself to me.
Have Faith
----
Consider it pure joy, my brethren, when you encounter
various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result,
that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking in nothing.
-James 1:2-4
I am in pursuit of Christ's love and becoming the women he has created me to be. A woman of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control..
Made complete in him.
