stuff and such...

Randomness has been my life lately so I wanted to show you these videos that I somewhat randomly found on YouTube...

The End.

The light in the dark

Just a couple of minutes ago the Lord told me to look out my window. I honestly just thought to myself why would He want me too look out the window?. Why would He want me to do something that simple? Well for this blog to make sense I seem to have neglected to have told you that there is a huge thunderstorm right now. Anyway back to the window:). As I walked over to my window I saw the sun through all these trees. The Lord spoke to me once again and said "There is light in the darkness." This was extremely touching to me as I had been going through a season of just being confused (and still am). We need to find our strength in the Lord and only the Lord. :) <3

Talents/ praise

God has given each and everyone of us talents to serve Him. Whether its singing, dancing, praying,cooking, or playing a certain sport; you can (need) to use those talents to serve the Lord. In fact, the Lord ask us to use our talents to worship and bring glory to Him. I know with me personally God has has given me the ability and desire to dance. I don't care what I'm doing I just want to dance-dance all the time! The Lord has a great plan for your life and most likely His plans for you include your talents. You can show His love through your talents. People will see something different about you. They will wonder whats wrong with you? (In a good way- haha) Our talents can bring the Lord praise. I have a question to ask you. Are  you bringing the Lord praise in everything you do? Are you giving Him glory and not yourself? Here are a few verses about this: Since we are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.1 Corinthians 14:12, We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.Romans 12:6-8.  So, use your talents to serve the Lord and bring glory to Him. Don't try to satisfy others with your talents- only the Lord. Glorify and praise Him in everything you do!

Listen...

Have you ever truly listened to the words of a song? Same thing when God speaks to us. Have you ever really tuned your ears to hear His voice? I know personally when I have asked God for answers, it's hard for me to really hear His voice. I sometimes can't tell if its really Him. Or it's just a voice inside my head; but if you really tune your ears to really hear His voice, you never know what you will encounter. Rather it be Him showing His love to you or simply just giving you answers to your questions. So who's with me? Who wants to tune your ears to hear Gods voice with me?!?! Also really listen to the words of this songs. I bet it will make you smile. Dont laugh at the actual music video ;)

**** Have you noticed that almost every time I start my blog with a question?  haha.

When you are afraid..and other things

Have you ever heard a noise at night and you freak out? For instance (this is not a true story :say you were home alone and a person started to break into your house. What would your instinct be? Probably most of us would call 911. But have you ever thought just to ask God to protect you? God is there for you whenever you need Him whether it be on a test, getting in trouble, getting hurt,or someone breaking in to your house. He is there for you. He made you and He wants to protect and comfort you. Now if it is in your timing...we'll see about that. God has a time and a place for everything. He will provide everything you need. He has a plan and a design for your life and He knows when things are going to happen to you. So let Him take control. So all of you control freaks give it up to God. Wouldn't you rather let someone take control over your life that knew what was going to happen than for you to take control and not know what is going to happen?

My fellow bloggers... I 'm sorry I have not posted anything lately, I have been really busy. But anyway this post is going to be short and then there will be a short one to follow :)

Here are some really awesome songs that help me throughout the week. Check them out! :)

These are just a few out of the many that I love. :)

You are beautiful!!!

Have you ever thought to yourself...I'm fat, I'm short, I don't like my curly  hair ;) I don't like the way I look. Well, when you say things like that, you are sorta saying God made something ugly or not pretty. But God sees you as beautiful and He created they way he wanted you. Or when your friends say your fat or your short or whatever, just dismiss that. Because YOU ARE beautiful, He sees you as beautiful and He sees you as His. When you are confused or don't really know who you are He says thats my son, thats my daughter... I created that masterpiece! :) No matter what anyone says you are beautiful because you are His! God made us the way He wanted us. So the next time you put yourself down because you don't like the way you look...Well God created you and YOU ARE beautiful.

XOXO,

Salem
