Another night of writing, editing and deleting

Another night of thinking, wondering, and sighing.

But the Word tells me not to.

And just rest in Him.

You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride;

you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,

with one jewel of your necklace.

How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!

How much better is your love than wine,

and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

spiritualinspiration:

When unexpected things happen—trials, difficulty or tragedy—the enemy sends a whirlwind of fear to try to shake our faith and steal our focus. His goal is to take our eyes off of God and cause us to feel overwhelmed by circumstances. But if we will choose to stay focused on the love of God, if we choose to meditate on His goodness, the truth will set us free from fear and ground our hearts in confidence.

Today, know that God loves you perfectly. He is a good God. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that His plans for us are for good. He has thoughts of peace, not for evil. He wants to give you a future and hope. Anytime thoughts of fear come, replace them with words of love. Just declare, “Thank You, God, for loving me. Thank You for leading me into peace. Thank You for hope for my future.” As you meditate on His love and goodness, you’ll feel faith rise up in your heart. You’ll feel hope, you’ll feel strength, and you’ll feel empowered to move forward in the good path He has prepared for you.

"Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you..."

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

Damn, God really loves us. And He really wants the best for us. Above all, He really wants us to be identified in Him. He wants to show us that if we really come humbly down to Him and accept who we are, nothing but a sinner.. His love will just overrule everything. It really will. I firmly believe that now. If He was able to die for us, what else can’t He do for us? Life was never meant to be easy and I love that. Because I can look forward to my heavenly home, where everything is going to be perfect. Just imagining that right now, makes me so content with everything. Seriously, what are we,… nothing but sinners that deserve death but man… he gives us this eternal love… how the freak. I’m so amazed.

I just really pray that my heart will be more opened to showing this amazing love. I realized that nothing else will work out except showing the love of Christ. I want to really love a person just like Jesus. I think that will make this life and all the things in life so friggin’ amazing, awesome and full of happiness. This requires me to really put in my effort, try my best, go out of my ways, and really… just know God more. Be right with Him.

Been so caught up with values and treasures these days. Do I count my friendship by quantity or quality? Do I really love my friends? Am I really cherishing them? Or do I just to get something out of it?

I just genuinely want to care. Just care. And I want to deepen all my friendship with people around me. Just make everything Christ centered. Because I know He really wants to be glorified. And I really want to be a person that glorifies Him whenever, whatever, and however.

Maybe its just my selfishness. Wanting everything that comes in my way. Wanting everything to work out fine. Whatever comes in my plate, I just try to grab it and try to make it perfect. That’s always been the case, hasn’t it? I guess that’s just who I am. But now the only thing that really changed my perspective is… “Jenn, never do anything in your own hands, control or power. It ain’t gonna work. You are not alone.” This is the part I should surrender. Just surrender all of me and be filled with more of Him.

“지금까지 꾸준히했으니깐 괜찮을거야

All we can do is do what we are called to do the best of our abilities. Rest is God. And we have God who promises to never leave us nor forsake us. God will honor your hard work. Do not be anxious but in prayer and supplication present your request to God with thanksgiving Meaning you will be grateful not at the result will be. He promises to give us peace. So put your faith in Him who has given you the brain to study, diligence to persevere He will keep you safe until the end. Fear is a lack of trust in God that He will not be able to sustain you through this situation. 잘 견딜거라 믿는다. 할수있다. 하나님이 함께하시에. 또 우리의 행함 때문에 우리를 사랑하지 안으시고 무조건 사랑하시기에 우린 하나님을 믿을수있다. 기도하자.”

I think I have the best spiritual mom/mentor/friend/smn

This is her message to me when I had my daily mini-hear attack last night.

Thank you to everyone who daily reminds me that I will do fine especially today. You guys are a great source of strength even in my weakness.

My sister’s response is actually the funniest “go have a glass of wine”…

I’m very impatient, I’ve realized. Sorry. One step at a time, Jenn.

So thankful that You give me the desire to love you, seek you and know you more and more at the end of the day despite it was a good day or bad one.
So thankful that you provide me with just what I need daily and I can find full satisfaction in that.
So thankful that you brought me mature old and wise adults that can counsel me, be there for me, guide me and disciple me despite all the zeal I have for the Lord, I’m still in the process of loving him more and more daily.
So thankful for a church where I can serve with what I can do best- serve physically and being able to pray for them.
So thankful that you are so ever present in my life every single that to remind me who I am, where I should place my hope, my identity.

You are so good to me
You are so gracious
Who is there like You!!?
