Surrender~
oh why oh why do i forget sometimes that i've surrendered my life to Jesus~!:)
Seriously though, like thats a pretty important thing to remember daily right. I'm no longer mine own, by he is the new captain of this ship~
Again was hit with my never ending trust issues... i need to get over like a leader use to say alot, just get over it.
But while in a rush to get to the bank, but going to stop for a cup of joe real quick..... I ran into a old freind who i met through my mom. She owned a store next to my moms. NAyways. She'd always talk bout new agey things, an be reading the newest self help from budda books:)
I never mentioned my faith to her, or rebuked her for her search.. Bu one day she said there was something different about me. That when she was with me she felt at peace...
I was so excited when she said this, becuase i was praying for a moment to share Jesus to her, for she was going through a togh time. she knew i was a chritain an missionary, but not by me sayin it but my mom:)
nay how the whole summer after she alowed me to tell her about Jesus and the peace an healing and hope he brings, We would talk an share the crazieness that life threw at us.. I then was off to missions again. Leaving at a place where she now was church searching an trying to connect with those who arn't everyday hard drinkers an materialistic, like her past was..
anyways; i never have seen her for a couple years. And ran into to her!!!!!
For the first time she was totally different, i saw a face change, a new vibe from her, like not worried or frantic. But peace~
She said oh tedi....(even though my name was changed..) she said, 2 years ago i gave my life over to christ! For 2 years i havn't touch alcohol! I surrendered my life to Jesus, and i've never felt so good in my life!
I was stoked, how the holy spirit had led her to truth an love and forgiveness, i could have cried but bc i was in a hurry i played it safe. i think. think i'll cry later.lol
But this just really spoke to me bout surrender!;ok katies here were watching funny people..
Adious. Merry christmas.lol

yesus christos
So sometimes.... doesn't aways make sence
But if it did, i wonder if i would depend so much on faith..:)
So where trusting God on a invisible path, means letting go of al preconceived ideas of trust in which led to being broken~
Learning to trust agian~hm
trust God.. even a bigger hm:)
But i guess it makes so much sence, while it looks so twirly:)
My God always present an does't leave when things get tough, in fact draws closer:)
My God has everything to do with my life; even when i feel like i'm in control:)
My God walks with me to dark places, showing me where the need is for light.
My GOd, must get frusterated sometimes, but instead of me complaining about it. He offers grace and hopes for peace~
My GOd talks to people an invites them to partake in a incredible adventure of faith, even while i may not read it like a novel, i see his purpose in each tear he shed on the cross~
My God He's good, and believe his love will outshine anything.
I'm so grateful to know Him, and pray i'de trust him more an more:)

come to the water u who thirst an u'll thirst no more:)
Isaiah 55 >>
NIV
Invitation to the Thirsty
1“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
3Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
4See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander of the peoples.
5Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,
because of the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”
6Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
9“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
which will not be destroyed.”

God r u enough?
The Lords been challenging me is He enough? Going to focus in on this for a while. Believe alot of things can discourage me an other beiivers, but coming back to a place, of saying GOd you are more then enough. Is a place of victory~!
Luke 5
The Calling of the First Disciples
1One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,a with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God, 2he saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let downb the nets for a catch.”
5Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will catch men.” 11So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him
God showed Peter life with him; would be more then enough!

Pressure~!~!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i doubled that exclamation.. hold on a little more then that!
So today at church Pastor talked a bit bout this. how Jesus sometimes was in pressure situations an how he always responded with answers that were full of faith an of the Father. How he didn't rush any where. How he didn't necessirily care how everyone like him. Or what they thought. He had enemies who dind't approve, an followers who strongly approved-
With that, I totally have came to this place again... an it seems like i come here at least once a month..
Pressure, i tend to pressure my self way to much
i tend to recieve other peoples pressure way to much
I tend to act by pressure instead of wisdom-
Think i'm being a tad dramatic.. i'm not that crazy but just had this moment of what the hec... My life is mine, an i will live not by others standards or opions or approval, but Gods.
I've lived this many times an think i do good at it, but am glad they spoke on it today, bc it was almost hedging its way back in my heart........ The world is like spinning(truth), and i'm to live in it an not get dizzy! lol how do u do this?
Well its knowing your mission, and knowing who your following:) and who's your team:)
My calling has nothing to do with making people feel good or me feeling good. But being more an more like Christ to the world- which in that alone, means obediant- And confident in who i am. I'm not to be like others but like Christ. and when i talk to GOd bout this he tells me He wants me to have heart like his, but to be the women He's created me to be. It won't ever be Christ an may not even look like who he was or did. But being myself in the midst of a world that tries to tell u who u r to be, an if u make it or mis it~
Pressure...............
their were times when i've failed............to the world yes.......... to God noooo!
Pressure.....
being a freind when it means not being there for them
Pressure.......
Not being on time when the appointment says 1, an u have probllem at home that needs care-
Pressure.......
a neighbor needs a lift and your already late for work
Pressure...........
the class wants it this way, when u have already desided how it was going to be
Pressure............
Praying for a random person, while not knowing what they'll think, or if praying for a healing, it would b healed
Pressure........
Going into news place an new people, and being labeled by the shoes u wear, or the way you laugh, or the stupid things u wish u did or dind't say
Pressure........
Parents releying on you to be something that you were never to be
Pressure.............
new cars, new diomond rings...................
Pressure.................
A feeling of impact on my mind which tells me i have to act immedietly~
BUT because i trust in God, i don't need to believe fast dramatic lies which will try to drain me and hinder what my real mission is.Or what currently i'm to do........
Instead of the pressure, i have to wait on him in prayer. Where his will is my vision, an my vision collides in his will.
Hm randoms for the night.............theres good pressure an bad pressure, learing to act where the peace is, an trust despite the effects

in his garden..love it!
What the Lord was speaking to me early today~
ps 92:12
The godly shall flourish like palm trees, and grow tall as cedars of Lebanon.
For they are transplanted into the lords own garden, and are under his personal
care. Even in old age they will still produce fruit an b ital an green. This honors
the Lord and exibits his fithful care, He is my shelter. Theres nothin but goodness in him!

Its awesome to think that this amazing GOd. Wants or even desires to be there for me when i can't do it on my own.
I'm so glad he understands me, an puts me in place of waiting trusting an desiring him. Because i would not understand him-
He's in control, and i love it! its that simple...
In my heart i'm feriated at so much injustice an pain in the world. But when i remember the crss, an the suffering Jesus went through it remeinds me.. this life is not what its all about...

The alabaster jar:)
Something GOd was really showing me today..........
The heart behind her actions.....
Mathew 26:6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9“This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”
10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. 12When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
I desire to be this women of faith an love...And feel like GOd is saying it okay to be this women, more then okay:)
Sometimes i feel as though i don't have alot, not that i need alot but sometimes the world around u keep tellin u need to be more, have more, do more, ect. But some how this women knew that Jesus, was worth giving her most expensive possession:)
When i think about my most expensive possesion, i really think about my time, dreams, desires and so on. Nothing i own i look at as expensive,bc alot of it had been GOds gift>while looking simply'er- I really want to let my life be a daily me pouring that oil for an on Jesus. That serving him an his heart would be top priority~.. I know is hard sometimes... But i fear that if i took the easier route. The end would be empty. Left of black trails, where the dreams of god, bc a left over platter where critters creep to eat, but never recieve the fullness
God dreams of intimacy, with each one of his children...an it may mean laying it all down b4 him~

Proverbs 2:) My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, 3and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. 6For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 8for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. 9Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. 10For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. 11Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. 12Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, 13who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, 14who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, 15whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways. 16It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words, 17who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.a 18For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. 19None who go to her return or attain the paths of life. 20Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. 21For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; 22but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it This is whats been cooking- I love God an that he alone wants to show us his ways an direction:) In Christ alone, we can do all things:) Still another day, serving the Lord and i'm more an more fathoming his love. How he is slowly but surely moving in my family's life, an mostly taking me to his mountains and showing me the view! tomorrow i lead worship for Prayer house, an as i prepare i realize how much God just desires to be with us, an spend time with us~ I'm so thankful for God.
