~ This is my world.........

Wishing all my LJ friends HAPPY THANKSGIVING..Have a safe and blessed day!!!

Out of touch with the world...
Trying to hide inside so I don't hurt.
The little girl inside me with her mouth wide open
screaming with grief and heartache.
A soundless scream full of pain, broken dreams
a house blown away by the storm.
She's crying out to you.
Why don't you hear her..see her..hold her.
You don't want to look beyond your need, you left
her behind.
Who was there to teach her, her worth? Who told her
she was special to them? Who showed her what
a strong woman she would be?
She looked to herself as she grew to be me.
In spite of you I found my own worth. In spite
of you I became special to someone. In spite of
you I learned to be a strong woman.
But, no matter the moments between then and now..
that little girl that you left behind abandoned, hurting
and alone cries out.
Then out of the darkness He holds me. He whispers you are
not alone. You are my child, I made you and I've been with
you. Those times you cried I dried your tears, those times
you wished your mama would see you I saw your pain. It's time
to let go, I will take care of the ache in your heart. Don't
grasp so tight to broken dreams..let it go and in it's place I
will give you the stars. Your happiness is with me, I've made
you and I will not leave you, you are my princess and peace and
love is my gift to you. No matter what the world throws at
you, good or bad I will provide you with the strengh to go on.
Because, my love is everlasting and nothing can tear us apart...
With a sigh I let go and just let God......

Mak'e ala helo o' iesu. Aloha no' ka ko'

Something that's been on my mind...
Lately my husband and I have been feeling so unsettled with our future.
We both have great jobs, but it does not feel like it's where God wants
us to be.  We've been praying for clarity and direction.  I know He will
lead us where He wants us to be, because He has always made a way
for us.  It's just getting uncomfortable in our jobs, like an old shirt that we have
outgrown..things are getting tight, uncomfortable and irritating..but so afraid
to try on a new one, afraid of change.  On the other hand I also feel excited
and ancious in a good way.  Like My God has got something so great and
wonderful in store for us! He is wonderful, good, all powerful and all seeing.

I cannot know His plans for us, but my trust is in Him who made Heaven and
Earth. My faith is in Him, who has brought us out of a life that was lifeless and
broken.  He called our family and made us whole.  

~Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.           Proverbs 3:5-6
        

 

Hold me FATHER GOD, never set me loose.
Keep me in Your loving embrace.
All my worries I cast on Your powerful
shoulders.
Not knowing where I am going, but
knowing You are here. I feel Your
spirit guiding me the way I should go.
All the ugliness inside me You have erased...
washed me clean, with Your loving
GRACE~

Hello All,

I'm new to LJ.  I have been a Born Again Christian who (tries) to live for Him, for 5 years now.  I love Jesus with my whole heart and soul, but I know I have not been faithful in so many aspects of my life.  When I came across this community, I felt this would be a great place to help me grow in my faith with other Believers.  My hunger and thirst for Jesus is great, however I let the world get my way in seeking Him.  I also feel that, I am not a Godly influence to my children at times.  I have shared the Gospel to many of my co-workers and friends who do not know Jesus.  There were some who have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior and some who have rejected and persecuted me for my faith.  I just know that God will work in their lives and that I have planted a seed.  What I struggle with the most is not knowing what God's plan is for my life and for my family's lives.  Also trusting Him in EVERYTHING. How do I give all my troubles, worries, fears to HIM?  This is why at times I feel like I am a hypocrite.  I try to get direction and clarity through prayer and His Word, but I don't if it is His Will I am trusting or my own?

Can anyone give me some insight?  Does anyone feel the way that I do? How do you know which door He is opening and which door He is closing? 

Would love to hear from y'all.  Feel free to post your comments.

Clinging to Jesus~
