The only person I can talk to is God. And my one friend. But she's sleeping right now. So at the moment the only person I can talk to is God. I've disconnected myself from worldly things... and all that's left is... You.
Funny how when I honestly search the world for truth, I end up at Your door. If only others would honestly seek. Not honestly seek You, but just honestly seek the truth. They'd eventually end up where You are, things would click, and arrogance and pride... even confusion would shatter.

In all honesty...
It's been hard lately. I can't focus on what's most important. I thought reading Jeremiah would encourage me to trust and follow God more confidently, but... yeah, not working. I'm just so short-sighted! I can't understand that life will end and that eternity will take place. I'm living in this world and all around me people are living to glorify themselves, seeking to fulfill their desires, their wants. And what sucks even more is that it really looks like they're happy and satisfied! Like they have no worries at all! But of course I know that's wrong... who in this world is really, deeply happy?
I'm struggling right now. I want to settle for nothing less than God Himself... but my mind won't let me. My mind keeps telling me I don't have to. It keeps telling me that I can have both! But I know I can't. And I know only the eternal and divine will truly satisfy. And I know, I know, I know.... but my heart doesn't understand.
I realized in today's QT that it is really only by God's grace I know Him. So many people are blind, but He's allowed me to taste and see. To taste Heaven and realize there's more... to be able to DESIRE more! We only crave what we've tasted... He gave me a taste of Heaven, and I want more. Nothing of this world will satisfy.
God I want more of You. I need more of You. I can't take it any more. I can't take this world anymore. It's poisoning me.....

Daughter of God
The desire itself is testimony that there is more, and the fact that we possess this desire to seek God should encourage us to pursue those encounters. It is nearly impossible to hunger for something that does not exist. I crave sweets only because sweet things exist. In the same way my heart cries out for God because I was created to find complete fulfillment in Him alone. And the more I come to know Him, the more I become sure that He will be faithful to satisfy the desire He put in me.
I'm now starting to understand what it means to be a child of God. God is King, I am his daughter... I'm a princess^^. I'm royalty. We're royalty. And being royalty means we cannot settle for less. Sex, money, drugs, power, position, material things cannot satisfy us because we were made for the DIVINE. Only the Divine can satisfy us. Only God can satisfy us. He knows everything about us and more importantly, He UNDERSTANDS. He created us.
It's so simple, but the ruler of this world, the devil, makes it complicated. He blinds us from seeing whats rightfully ours (through Jesus's death and resurrection) and leads us to settle for less.
God made us. He knows us. We belong to God. Nothing can satisfy but being in touch with Him, our creator, because He holds our hope, our purpose... and knowing Him more, experiencing Him more is the only way. There's more to life than the hopeless/purposeless routine of work or school. There's more depth because we are deeper. We are more than fleshly beings--we are spiritual beings. STOP SETTLING FOR LESS!!!!

Can I....
ignore everything?
Here comes another battle on the inside--spirit vs. flesh. God, may Your will be done with me. Break me down, empty me, then mold & transform me.

. . .
These past few weeks have been very... ? . Right now I'm in a state of change, and I'm not sure what to do/ how to react... how to plan... even how to pray. Can you guys pray for me? Just a quick prayer is fine~ I can feel myself just melting. Could you pray for me please? If you're Spirit led, please ask the Holy Spirit to lead you as you pray... and just pray whatever comes to mind/heart when praying for me. I'm in need of God's restoration through a better understanding of His purpose... His plan... His ways... Him. a better understanding of Him.

Happy Valentine's Day
To my future partner and husband,
I love you.
I know I do... cause we wouldn't be married if I didn't! I love you, and I'm constantly praying for you. Wherever you are and in whatever you're doing, I ask God to arm you spiritually. I ask God to give you His heart to love what He loves and to hate what He hates. I ask God to mold you, through constant teaching and, most importantly, healing, that you may be transformed into the Son of God He created you to be: healthy--in the essense of His strength, might, boldness, wisdom, image (tall, I hope^^), and His natural desires to provide, protect, shelter, and love. I pray that God will always be our deepest desire, and that He would pour out His love for us into each other's hearts. In that way we wouldn't love out of our flesh, but out of the amazing and pure love of God.
:)

I know...
I write a lot about Love. But it's just that I can't focus on anything else. I just want to get to the point of everything. Yeah, there are so many desires and goals in our lives that are ready to be filled and met. Yeah.......... so? my mentality is simply "what's the point?" Really! WHAT. IS. THE. POINT?!?!
God, am I doing wrong here??? I don't want to be like everyone else and follow the same systems and patterns they follow. I don't want to be sad and hurt and emotionless like they are. I don't want to hide who I am and what I really feel. No, not who I am~~ I mean I don't want to hide who I want to be And I don't want to supress my healthy emotions... I don't want to slowly kill myself like they're doing--like I was doing before.
You set me free... now please help me to live like I'm free. I'm still living like a slave because of my mind. I'm still caring about what and how they think~ You set my heart free, now please set my mind free. In Christ's name I pray~

C.S. Lewis
said that the problem with Christians isn't that we are dissatisfied or that we are hard to satisfy, but that we are too easily satisfied. By this he meant that we settle for the things of this world, dining on table scraps as it were, instead of feasting on the divine banquet that God prepares and offers to us daily. We fill ourselves with lesser things instead of hungering after the things of God.
