Struggles

Struggles.....we all have them. Whenever we hear that word we automatically think of something negative that someone is going through.

As of right now my biggest struggle is getting back to God and His will for my life instead of repeating bad habits. The worst part about it is that I realize that those habits are wrong, but I still do them.....and I keep drifting away from the love of God that I came to know as a child and the peace that He alone brings me when He holds me in His arms.

The best feeling that I have ever felt was when God held me when I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. I felt safe and I felt like everything was going to be ok because God said that it was.

I am so glad that God doesn't give up on us, because if He did I would NOT be here. None of us would.

Even though nothing bad comes from God, I personally believe that He lets circumstances happen to people to show them that they need to turn back to Him and depend on Him and nothing and no one else. I mean look at the story of Job. God let Satan take away everything that Job had in order to test his faith in Him.

I seriously need God to break me. I know that probably sounds insane and that I will probably regret asking for it, but I need it.
The greatest thing about being broken by God, is that He picks up the pieces and fixes us again. God brings us back to Himself for His glory and for our benefit.

With that said I am asking for prayer to overcome the struggles that I am facing. I would greatly appreciate them and I am willing to pray for you about anything if you need me to.

God Bless,

All for You

A good friend of mine wrote a song awhile back and I just recently put it to music.
The words and phrases that she used for this song we beautifully put together and well written and now it's turning into a beautiful song about slowing our lives down for God. Letting Him wash over us with peace and letting Him take control.....COMPLETE control.

The song is called "All For You". It's a work in progress, but it has a nice beginning.

All For You
By Chelsea Stockton
Music by Liz Hitt

Verse 1:
Running through this life
From place to place
I feel like I'm serving you
When I'm doing all I can

Pre-Chorus:
Wash over my heart
With water of peace
I'll slow my soul
To move with You

Chorus:
Oh pace my heart
To beat with Yours
Take my thoughts
I don't want them anymore
Everything that I do
And say and pray and muse
Is now slowed down
All for You


I hope you like it.
Let me know what you think

Have a great day and remember to put God first. You can never go wrong when you give God complete control of you life.

Blessings,

Sweet Revelation

I'm sure some of you are anxious to know about my "big decision" that I've made. Well I felt that God has not moved me on to another music/ministry team so I am staying in SpiritWing for next year.
God kinda put me in my place over spring break through my Mom. I was willing to go into another group for the wrong reasons and that is not right. I was wanting to leave a difficult situation instead of meeting it head on and trying to work things out. That is a huge character flaw....I don't care who you are. I can't run away from difficult situations every time that they come up.
If God moves you then you move; if He doesn't then you stay where you're supposed to be. It's as simple as that.
I'm sure that being in a different ministry team as a student director would have been a great experience, but God has not moved me in that direction and I'm pretty sure that if I would have moved on to that group I would have ended up miserable because I didn't follow what God wanted.
I still have a lot more to learn before I can take on a leadership position of any kind and God knew that.
God is good and I am so thankful that He made things clear to me.

Anyway, that's what is new in my life : )
Have a great day and remember to put God first!
