Other blog, life

Hey all! I just wanted to let y'all know that I have another blog about music, poetry, verses, and just fun stuff. I'm not sure if I told you this but well I told you again. =) (http://music-songs-verses-starryamazement.blogspot.com/)

God has been so good to me, I feel so free from fear! He replaced that fear with comfort, hope, encouragement, strength. He is amazing! It's good to know that we are truly free in him!! He is beautiful, he is my all! I think that I could probably praise God forever, because the list of his amazing grace, and just him goes on forever! I think that song is so true, "I could sing of your love forever."

God is really worth our praise and our lives and all that we are. He loves us so much that it's incontainable. The reason I always want to write about my spiritual life is because I CANNOT contain it inside of me. There's nothing to hide! There's nothing to be ashamed of. I know that I'm not a perfect person, and I really don't want you to read my blog thinking, "Oh, well she's just a perfect little church girl, there's nothing wrong in her life, maybe God's only pouring blessing to her." No!!! Not true, I am not perfect! I know I sin so much! I know anyone reading this sins, because "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." I think I am so far from perfection. I have to realize that when I cannot find myself, I find myself in him. That's my goal, that's who I strive to be like. He's beautiful, and I am far from it. I'm not saying that I'm far from God like an unbeliever would be, but far from his amazing perfection. God wants to pour his blessings on YOU! Yes you! And you can't just keep it to your self, share the blessings with others, and you'll just overflow with it! That's exactly why I created this blog because I can share the blessing that has been poured onto me. It's a wonderful feeling. (Listen to I will go by Starfield, I'll post it on my other blog soon!)
Okay, well its time for me to say until next time!
Peace, (Y) <>

Facing Hatred

Here I am again! Ok, little update on my blog. This "Life.Jesus.amazed =)," well, it's not just about my life, it's also about what's going on in my relationship with the beautiful one. I'll also make other post in other sections, and make other sections... I'm rambling on... Well, ahem, moving on!
So lately my life has been going alright, until I got a hater yesterday. She was one of my good friends, and now she hates me. I felt so down and depressed about it. I didn't know what to say, there were so many times during my day, I wanted to talk to her like normal: bouncy, excited, and so on. She would always snap. I just didn't know what to do.
At church that night, during worship, it was like God was telling me, "I love you, it doesn't matter what they think of you. I'm all that matters!" I was like whoa! I was astonished! Then our worship pastor started talking about how you have to give God all your heart, mind, soul. She made a really good example of it. Her example was like this:
If you're in a relationship with someone, you're not going to go off talking to other people outside of that relationship. You're not going to be talking to them about the same stuff, or loving them the same way. It's just you and the person in the relationship. That's how it should be with God. You have to give him your whole self. You can't just say, "Oh God, you can have this part of my heart, but I'm going to dedicate this part to so and so."
I hope that made sense. I just started giving it to him. Telling him about how he mattered more than any words or thoughts people had made about me.
After that night I had read Psalm 23. This is because two days ago, I was on a hike. I was in between these hedge-like plants, there was a path in between it. The verse that I kept thinking that this path looked like was sort of like the valley of the shadow of death. The verse was, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me."
I kept asking God, "What is this valley? Am I in it?" I could not understand this verse. So I searched and searched my heart. It didn't make sense until I realized it yesterday, after all the upsetting times I had. I thought, "Oooh, this is what it is, this is the evil, I have nothing to be afraid of, Jesus is here." I was so joyful! I just thought, how I was going to love my enemies, and turn the other cheek, and all this stuff.
Even though my friend may hate me, I have Jesus. And Jesus has faced persecutions worse. He will be my strength through it all.

Peace! =)
