So. What to write...

Easter was very good. It was amazing! I also must have put on a few pounds :) but that's ok.

I'm really excited about the future and what God is doing. The thing is I don't suppose I can see half of what God is actually doing, which makes it all much more amazing to me.

I think what I'm scared of right now is missing it. I KNOW that God is working in my life so much, not just in my life either, I can see God working in my friends lives, in church, among the youth at church, all over the place. I don't want to miss what God is doing. I want all that He has for me.

It's weird that the biggest barrier to God working out His plans in your life, is usually yourself. I need to trust more. I need to trust God more and also those who love me who God has given me. I never thought that I could be insecure, but lately I think that sometimes I can. I don't know why either, I have reason to be. To be honest I'm not going to over analyze it. What I do know it that God is cutting away stuff in my life and some of that is a little painful but it's ALL good. I want to be molded by Him, made into what He wants me to be. It's all good stuff no?

I also need to seek God about my future, especially about what stuff He wants me to do at church. So if any of you feel like you want to pray about that it'd be very welcome :)

Rebecca St James sings a song called 'Above all'..

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind the stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all...

Christ should be above all. He made the ultimate sacrifice for us, he died for us, we owe Jesus so much! It's like a theme in my life right now that I need to put God first Above All things. I think if you honor God by doing that then all that you're giving Him is totally safe. If you try to hold on to everything tightly, then you pretty much stand to loose it all.

Hold it all loosely, Cling to Christ and He will Honor you, all the other things will be totally safe in Him.

And I'll hang on to you
Nothing in this world will see me through
Only you
And I'll hang on to you
Everyday I live, I give to You

I'm sure soon I'll write something funny and flippant about a cactus...you never can tell.
