So as I was listening to this song on youtube, I came across the story behind it. I thought I would share, so here it is: Here is a link to the song he is talking about in the video that I posted a few days ago:  Even If -Kutless Thanks for reading. I hope to get back to really blogging about what God is doing in my life after things calm down a little bit, but for now, songs will have to suffice. In God, Emily

Music is such a great type of worship! I love how God can speak to us through it and we can turn around and praise Him back. :) Thanks for listening! In God, Emily

I absolutely LOVE this song! The words speak such truth... Let God speak to your heart! Thanks for listening! In God, Emily

Today, at my college, there was a chapel convo for us to attend. It was not mandatory, but we do have to go to five per semester. I was not planning on going, but I had a friend invite me to go with her at the last minute. I figured, "Well, I might as well. At least I will have someone to sit with." I had no idea that God was planning on using the speaker to speak to me about a situation that I am dealing with right now. The speaker talked about how we need to give back to God the "stuff" in our lives, to dedicate what God has given to us back to Him. I have been struggling with a decision the last couple of days and I realized that I cannot control the outcome on my own. I also realized that I had not given my heart completely to God before that moment. I was expecting God to show me what to do in the situation when I had yet to surrender fully to Him. I realize now that God will lead me and guide me to the right man some day, but first I had to give ...

So I got a private dorm room this year. Lots of things led to that decision, but that's not what this post is about. One of my best friends came to visit from way far away and she is a much better sew-er than me. She helped me to learn how to make curtains for my dorm. They are super cute! And I am really excited about them. :) But we forgot to take pictures during the process so these are just of the finished product. And we had to squeeze it in during nap time. So here is the pattern. The story behind the pattern is that my dorm colors are gray and yellow, but I have a blueish-tealish pillow case. And I have a green crocheted afghan that my mom made me last year for my dorm room before I picked my colors. Here is a picture of the whole curtain. And here is a picture of someone when they just got up from nap time. :) These are definitely going to brighten up my dorm room. :) I am very excited about these. Thanks so much for helping me! Thanks for reading! ...

So I am always hearing new music on Air1. And it is always such an encouragement to me. So here's another one. :) Hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading/listening! In God, Emily

Last night at church, we had a bible study on the first five verses of Revelation 22. It was very interesting for me because I have never really studied Revelation. Before I was saved, I was actually scared to read it because of what little I knew of its content. Anyway, God was speaking to me about having joy for His coming, about being excited and ready for it. And to be honest, it scares me now too. I know that when Jesus comes back all those who are saved will enter into a forever reign with Jesus and God as the heads. But I know so many people that do not know of God's grace and mercy. And I know that I am not doing enough to tell others about it. But this morning, God continued to speak to me about this. My daily devotion this  morning was right out of the lesson last night at church. Here is what it said: But when the world has seen the light, they will dance with joy.   I Could Sing of Your Love Forever Heavenly Delight Children know how to be enthusiast...
