![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Well...God is good and I am still a sinner, but a sinner deeply impacted by the eternal GRACE of God. This week has been a real eye-opener for me... I have really just been impacted with the FACT that I NEED to surrender EVERYTHING to God and TRUST Him. On Sunday it was SO great - all of those songs and and scriptures about surrenduring everything to God and stuff - just really felt God reminding me again that I DO NEED to surrender to Him. I often get so... I guess you could call it "worried"... but whatever it is - not surrendering EVERYTHING to God when I think about my life: If there really IS that "special someone" out there who could love me enough to want to spend his life with me...or if I will just be single all my life...or if God will make me marry someone I never really liked that much - haha - then, of course, I felt the urge to read I Kissed Dating Goodbye again - and I have almost finished it in 2 nights! The words from the pages of that book just jump out to me and remind me of all of those things I know, but just forget... often... and the most important thing: GOD REALLY DOES CARE, HE REALLY DOES LOVE ME, AND AS LONG AS I AM TRULY GIVING HIM MY ALL FIRST AND FOREMOST - HE HAS THE MOST AWESOME PLANS FOR MY LIFE... THAT MOST LIKELY WILL INCLUDE A "SPECIAL SOMEONE"! I also worry about what I am supposed to "do" with my future... I mean, my family and people I've know all say I'm so "talented" and I have so many things I could do with my life - that just to waste it on going to beauty school and becoming a hairdresser and (hopefully, sooner or later) getting married is dumb. My parents have reconciled my decision as being "wise" after all... but sometimes I just have tended to worry that I might not be doing what God wants... though it DOES seem to be the direction he has been leading me - so far. I say all of this to say that, on Sunday I just felt a real... I guess you could call it a "breakthrough" - I just surrendered EVERYTHING to God and I felt a real peace about my future. Someday I'll probably look back at all that God has done and laugh at how pittiful I was, but how great God came through inspite of me... the other day I was looking through some of my old "diarys" (I have had one since I was like 9 or 10) and I just had to laugh at how worried I got over things that "might happen" or "might not happen" - and turned out just how God knew they would several months or years down the road. So, yes, I tend to worry about the things I want to know, but that God is keeping hidden for now, so that when he unveils them, they will be so much better than they could have been if I had been able to find out years before what was going to happen. God is SOOOOOO awesome! Thank you, Lord for reminding me to surrender to you. Thank you for also reminding me to give hopes to you and to make you; My creator, my savior, my lover, my friend - the object of my affections. Lord, make me a masterpiece of your love. -Tai Sophia Tai Sophia finished on 10:34 PM. Selah ~ 0 comments Links name: The Rebelution name: Vision Forum - Great resources

Tai Sophia PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO STOP BY - I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHO VISITED! I am 18 at the moment. I am a Christian and I love God and all he is doing in my life... even if I can't understand it all right now. I enjoy doing many things - which, some might say, makes me easy to get along with...maybe. I enjoy playing my violin, reading (lots), writing, art, animals, friends, and SINGING IN THE SHOWER!!! God's grace is SO amazing! What I'm Reading Favorite Verses Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Well...God is good and I am still a sinner, but a sinner deeply impacted by the eternal GRACE of God.
