Let every Heart adore the Mighty God of Love

Recently, I have just experienced alot in life and opportunites the Lord has just shown me I never thought would happen.  First off I got to go to Passion Promo 2012 in Madison Wisconsin with some friends and it was just amazing awesome.  Kristian Stanfill and Charlie Hall performed and if you don't know who they are definitely check them out totally worth it. If you don't know what Passion is its basically about thousands and thousands of college students gathered together to learn and hear about the word of God and make a difference in our Community.  I have never gone and this year is my first and I am so thankful I have the opportunity I am so excited and all the others getting to go.  I highly recommend anyone and everyone going if You can it will be so worth it.  But, this concert thing I went to literally about 100 maybe less kids having the same heartbeat and just there for worship and praise it was unbelievable and I am just all into music and the feeling inside roars for more of the Lord.  Awesome thing i was next to the speakers and to feel the bass and the sound run through the speakers got my adreniline running big time... And I realized God is doing something Big in my life I'm not sure what it is but It's amazing..  I honestly cannot even explain what is happening inside.. I really can't  I was talking to a few friends this past week and just talking and I said "I don't even feel the same that I did this past summer or starting Emmaus for the 2nd time.  My heart my attitude and Love has grown and I feel at peace completely and its unbelievable because I've wanted to be in this place for so long and wondered what was taking so long but it really was giving it all to the Lord.  Giving this life I once lived.. Now I feel brand new and feel on fire wanting more and just living in the moment with God with me always.  My life isn't perfect still but I know and I am for sure confident that God is faithful and God knows all and He Loves me..  is that not an Amazing GOD We Have.??  Amen 

Recently Brokeness has just been on my heart I've been finding more and more people with broken lives from where I go to school from outside of school and even outside the Country and I saw how much and how important it is to love those people deeply no matter what it is or what ever there past maybe.. I came across a eye opener this week that just broke me to pieces inside and that's when I realized God is working .. So this girl came up to me and told me her horrific life and what shes going through and about the world and how she just hates it.. I have known this girl through church and going to youth and I sadly thought she was weird and really tried to avoid her I was selfish and she would talk to me and i would turn my back away because she was "un cool" or whatever.  3 years later I see her and she tells me this horrific thing shes going through and how she just doesnt care about life and I just saw in her eyes brokeness and I was so convicted because I prayed to the Lord I should have never judged I didn't know her story and really hit me everyone has a story they are who they are for a reason and be slow to judge in anyway..  So right now if you guys who are reading this can or will just pray for the brokeness in your town and in your city at your school and in your family or friends what ever it is.. I'm praying also and know there is a God who will listen to all and hear those prayers.. 

Love to all and many blessings

Kristian Stanfill

I just saw this singer the other day and literally just fell in love with the Words He sang and just the Love of the Lord and Power of the Lord.  Kristian Stanfill I highly recommend at this time if your looking for great worship music.

"who will love me for me?"

It's been a few months since I last posted one of these! But lets just say God's been good and gracious and I couldn't thank Him more for what He has provided me with.  To start off I would like to recommend another Singer.  JJ visited Emmaus Last Year and just wowed me with her unique voice.  It's very calm and so peaceful and her music is very acoustic which I love.  But her words have such meaning from life experiences and One of her well known songs Love Me has touched me greatly! Another Song that has stuck with me for awhile is a new one called Control that really explains who is in Control of your life, and What is controlling your life?  So i recommend taking a little sneak peak at her music!
     So recently I am back at school and been busy and this summer really struck me!  About appearance and getting ATTENTION from others and being accepted and loved.  I know there are many struggling people out there and from a girls perspective I know there are a lot who just want attention so they feel approved.  It seems by the looks of it now in today's culture it's becoming a negative subject for society.  I know from many girls they want to feel good so they dress nice, they work out, they do all they can to be fit, and where makeup so they can look even extra good.  Starting up at Emmaus again I knew that we would have to go over the dress code again and I realized those are really some good rules.  I understand from a Christian perspective why we can't where certain articles of clothing.  And I really respect it.  For me though i was nervous for the upcoming freshman who were about to suffer through the rules because I had a hard time with the rules also.  I know many girls are fashionable and want to be noticed through what they wear and to be expressed through clothes.  But I never really understood the whole concept of girls dressing for mens approval!  The way you flaunt yourself is really how guys will see you and think of your reputation.  And for me it really impacted me for I was never perfect and once again dealt with these situations.  I wanted to be noticed in a way that all eyes were on me and i knew i would get compliments.  But in some way I was never satisfied with the compliments for I wanted more. Guys do notice what you wear even if you don't think they do and if they don't give you a compliment but being yourself and wearing sweats is so okay! Dressing nice all the time is all cool and good if its what is comfortable to you but be careful how you show it if that makes sense :)  Fitting in the crowd is what everyone does at some point.  Your popular and you want to be cool like the rest so you follow in there footsteps where they accept you for being like them ?  From experience its not worth it? In society also the new trend is playing the victim and don't get me wrong there is so much pain and suffering out there that people are facing but its come to a point where many people lie about situations because they need attention and approval they have never felt before. There are many ways to try to get attention. After coming to know the Lord and really fully understanding what Acceptance means the truth is its nice to hear those compliments but there is a God who loves us for us..  With out the clothes and without fancying it up and working out God looks beneath that and sees our true real hearts! And really He Accepts us for us.  It didn't come easy to me to change my ways and realize all this but I know that the Lord will love me no matter what and no matter what I did in the past and I am who I am because I faced these situations and I realized the change that needed to be made.  I can for once feel confident not to wear makeup 24/7 I can wear sweatpants when neccessary and dress nice in a modest way where the Lord will approve!    We can draw as much attention as we want by trying to fit in the crowd trying to wear the most updated fashion and looking good but really if we dwell in all that we honestly will never be satisfied.  The only person who should satisfy us and really is Real and Love is God.  So I ask what is it about yourself you are never satisfied with and is it worth giving up and realizing God is all you need??  There is no greater Love than what comes from the Lord!  The Lord has just spoke to me recently on this and just reaching out to girls who are new in coming to find Him and it's been a huge eye opener to really see it through these girls what they go through to develop attention...
Blessings to all :)
