Prayers Answered

So this morning when I prayed for more faith, I meant it, but I didn't see how God could work that in me today. Then tonight happened.

At the dorms, we had a meeting about next year's rooming situation. I have decided that it is not a good idea for me to room with my current roommate. Then her and my suitemate made plans to get two rooms together next year.

So I told myself that I would trust God in these plans.

Then I went and made plans with another girl to be her suitemate next year. After the meeting tonight, I'm not sure that is going to work out... So after getting really upset after the meeting and God sending people to help me calm down, I got back to my room and was thinking about it.

God is using this situation to deepen my faith in Him because, in all reality, I have no control over who I am placed with next year. So I can just trust God and pray that He will send me someone that I will be "compatible" with, someone I will be able to lift up, and that will lift me up.

So we shall see.

 I know God would never give me anything that I can't handle, so I will trust Him in this.

(Because His plans is so much better than mine.)

Thanks for reading.

In God, Emily

Living the Life

A couple months ago I was wearing a t-shirt that my mom got me at a Beth Moore conference we attended last year.  If you are not familiar with Beth Moore, her ministry is called Living Proof Ministries.  The t-shirt said, "I'm living proof." I had someone come up to me and ask what it said.  Then she asked what I was living proof of. Her question threw me off guard. What am I living proof of? I stammered out an answer.  Something along the lines of, "I'm living proof of God working in my life." That answer was not necessarily wrong. But as a mature Christian, why did I not have an answered prepared?  I knew what the shirt said.  I should have been ready to answer such a question.   As Christians, we wear certain things, such as our "Christian" t-shirts, or we act certain ways or do certain things, like praying before we eat.  We should be ready to give a reason for any of these things at any moment. The bible tells us to, " p...

"I See You"

A lot has happened in the last few months.  I may post more of an update on that later, but, for your information, we picked up our daughter right before Thanksgiving. As our daughter has grown, my husband has found a sure way to make her giggle that adorable little laugh.    EVERY TIME.    He looks at her and simply says, “I see you!”    I love to hear that little giggle.    It could go on for days.    Matt looks at her and says it.    She giggles.    He pulls back and then leans in again.    He repeats the words.    She giggles.    As I was thinking and contemplating this the other day, it came to me.    That is what every little girl wants – to be seen by her daddy. How true this is for every child of God as well.    We want to know that we are seen by God.  What better way to love someone than by letting them know that they are SEEN. ...

Jehovah - The Relational God (The Power of God's Names - Tony Evans)

I just started reading Tony Evan's The Power of God's Names  the other day. Learning more about the names that God has given Himself is very enlightening for me to know more about who God is. The second name that is discussed in the book is Jehovah - "I Am who I Am" (Exodus 3:13). Evans said, "When [Yahweh] was translated into English, it became the name which most of us today know it as - Jehovah . So when you hear the name Jehovah , keep in ming that this is the Hebrew name YHWH, meaning 'I am the existing one.'" (page 44) "I am the existing one" This is in the present tense. God has always existed and will always exist. There is no beginning or end to God. God did not have a creator, but He is the Creator. As Evans points out in the book, each of us could not be here without our parents. It's not possible. Not only is our existence dependent on our parents, but also on things we might not think about, like oxygen, food, w...
