Divine Romance

"The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty’s all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I’m completely satisfied

For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love

A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You
Of deep deep love, yeah it’s filling up the room
Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God I’m completely satisfied"

God Provides. God's ravishing, unending love never ceases to amaze me. I love this song. It expresses the joy that I feel while basking in the love of Christ.

Okay, so I got to watch the "Love Comes Softly" series...amazing! In this one scene this guy was asking why God allows bad things happen to good people...and the other guy said that God doesn't necessarily allow it, but He promises us that He will always be there beside us, with us, carrying us, etc. And...that got me thinking. Sometimes I think that bad things are like a punishment...maybe sometimes it is? But still, God always makes good of everything. I believe that God can be glorified in all situations; whether good or bad.

Prayer

So it's been only 3 days since I had my surgery and I'm doing really well. The pain is really minimal which is really good!! The surgery went well and my vision is starting to clear up a little bit. Thanks for the many prayers from so many people! :)

I'm getting bored...but the good thing is that I can open my right eye. It just kinda strains my left eye so I can't open it for too long.

Their's something pretty powerful about prayer...and I can definitely feel it!

Paris

I just thought I'd post up a picture of the Eiffel Tower! It was pretty amazing to see it at night!! We planned it out just right! :)

God's beauty

The flowers in Holland were so beautiful!! Even though it was raining that day, it was still so amazing to see God's beauty. I love flowers!

I feel like I forget to thank God for his beautiful creation. I think that I take it for granted a lot. I saw so many amazing views in Europe. God's beauty is all around me. And yet I seem to forget that somehow.

Going to hospital ministry yesterday kinda eased my anxiety & nervousness about my surgery. Their's something powerful about singing praises to God for patients in the hospital. I felt some kind of a connection with the patients, because I know what it's like to be in pain and in need of comfort.

My surgery's in 3 days...I'm still a little bit nervous. I really really want to be at peace the day of my surgery, as they prep me & give me the anesthetic. I hate needles and the last time I had the anesthetic, it hurt. I'm starting to worry about the little details, but I need to give them to God. I know that He has his hand on me, I need to just give it all to Him. I always find that I'm closest to God when I'm at my lowest point or in desperate need of Him. I want to always be in need of him.

"Cause when I'm weak He makes me strong
When I'm blind He shines His light on me
Cause I'll never get by livin on my own abilities
But by the power of Christ in me"
