let the Light shine in [6.19.12]

on my heart<3 

today i'm praying

that you'd come just as you are

that you'd open your Eyes to Love

understand that it's not about the past

it's about this moment

it's about opening your heart just a little crack

and letting the Light shine in

if you could light up your own life, 

if you could clean up your own heart

why would we be in desperate need?!

don't try to clean house, turn the lights on,

sweep things under the rug

before you cry out

don't try and make things

presentable before you let Jesus

into your life

don't wait till later when you

are more ready

because you'll never be more ready

than right now, right this moment

He doesn't say

"change your behavior, 

i'll check back later"

He just wants you

just open the window

to the Sun light this morning

it's just that first step

and before you know it

you'll wake up in a 

whole new world

1:07 AM

Okay so I spent my afternoon baking cupcakes. . . 

Celebration cupcakes for my last shifts at work. . .

I don't feel like celebrating at all right now. 

I feel completely terrified. Stepping out in faith is 

absolutely terrifying... I quit my job believing God has something better, 

something more for me to do. . . And now as I've stepped off a ledge I am 

just praying and praying that my foot will land on solid ground and

everything will be okay. 

SO the things I do know. . . 

I am His child. I am chosen, I am redeemed, I am called out for a purpose, 

and my life is hidden in His. 

I am completely confident in Him, in His strength, and in His promises for my life.

His plans for me are for good, to prosper me and to bless me.

No matter how many applications I send out, how many interviews I go to, none of those things matter, 

He has my job lined up for me already. I know this. He is so GOOD. 

So I'm celebrating a God who is good, who knows best, and who has my destiny in the palm of His hand. 

Praise You Jesus!!
