Your Love Is Strong

So I have kinda been slacking on the whole blog thing for the whole month of April, but im still alive and still just trying to glorify the Lord in everything I do! One thing I have been dwelling on lately is His love for us! It's so unfathomable yet it's so specific and personal I absolutely love it! I have been listening to a song lately by Jon Foreman called "your love is strong", and every time I hear it I am reminded of what true love really is...it's Jesus! So here are the lyrics for the song, I would encourage you just to dwell on them and listen to the song no matter what kinda day you are having!


Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Power of Worship and Serving...

I don't think that there is a more amazing thing in the world than getting to worship with thousands of people who are all lifting up the name of JESUS CHRIST!  Tonight I was blessed with the opportunity to work at the chris tomlin concert here in Albuquerque. I never knew how many people in the city were so on fire for the Lord, and its so uplifting to know now that there are thousands of people who are living to bring glory to His Holy and righteous name! It seems like everytime I have a great worship session the Holy Spirit fills me up so that I can overflow into others. I also feel so content after amazing worship sessions like the one I had tonight, although there is a part of me that wants more Jesus. I think that is the way its supposed to be, we should never stop longing to be closer to the Lord but at the same time we should be content with what the Lord has blessed us with! Overall what an unforgettable night it was, definitely one I will always remember.
Not to mention I got to meet Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin while I was helping after the show. What perfect role models of what people who are living unashamed for Jesus look like, you could just see the joy and their love for the Lord over flowing in the short conversation I had with the two of them.
The moral of the story is God is good and He was so present tonight! I guarantee that people were moved and stirred up just by the presence of God tonight!
He is mighty, and He is worthy of Praise!

I <3 JESUS.

Sing, Sing, Sing...

Hebrews 10:22

"let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water."
Hebrews 10:22

The last couple of days have been some of the toughest I have had in a long time. It feels so hard to draw close to God recently, Why? I have no idea. I have never really experienced anything like this in my walk with the Lord. Continuous prayer and communication with the Lord has never been more of a struggle than it has the last couple of days. For some reason, I am having problems feeling His presence at all.  I also know that if keep dwelling Proverbs 3: 5-6 and continue to acknowledge Him in everything I do, I will be just where He wants me to be.  I know that He never has and never will give up on me, and that is the most comforting thing in the world right now! This is test to strengthen my relationship and trust in Him, seeing if I will fully abandon myself to Him in EVERY aspect of life. James 4:7 comes to mind, talking about how if I resist the devil and his schemes, that he will flee from me.
Lord draw me close to you, let me dwell in your house all the days of my life.
Restore unto me the JOY of thy salvation.

I would appreciate any and all prayers :)
You are loved!
