God's wonderfully freeing grace...

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
What I am about to share is very close and precious to my heart. See, for a while the Lord has been teaching me to trust Him and like me I had been having a very hard time trusting Him and not worrying and obsessing over things like getting a job, a car, having money, you know all those "teen" things. The only problem was that as I was trying to make everything come out "my way" the way that I thought was best I was getting more and more frustrated because I was not obeying Jesus. To make a long story short...On Sunday night we had a campfire after Church and it was ALOT of fun! :) Afterwards, I was in my room and I decided to journal a bit. Before I know it I was in tears just baring my heart before the Lord. I am going to include what I wrote that night:

Dear Heavenly Father,
Dear Lord, I just come to You tonight pleading Jesus' blood and Jesus' name on my sleep tonight. See, the past few nights I have been having horrid, disgusting dreams. I think a part of it has been that I have been reading some wrong stuff and thinking on some wrong stuff and "that stuff" is being reflected in my dreams. 1st Lord I ask You to forgive me and 2nd I ask You to cleanse, purge, and santify both my mind, my heart, and my dreams. Father, fill my dreams tonight with YOU! I have never asked You to do that ,but, pls. show Yourself to me in a mighty way. Part of me is like "It won't happen, I don't matter, big things like that don't happen to me..." But then the other part is just begging You too and desiring it...Lord, You are the same God that did great miracles. You are the same God that has miraculously provided for _______. You are the same God that spoke to Mr. Harvey (www.congoharveys.org). Lord, pls. I am so tired of being an 1/2 hearted Christian. I am so sick of not trusting you and worrying all the time. I am so tired of not trusting You to provide completely for all my needs. I do want to surrender everything and trust it to You. I want to surrender all and let You take me and use me wherever. I am so weak though and it is so hard sometimes because I feel like You are "to big" for me after all I am just Katy ____...why would You want to help me. Lord, I know that is wrong! Jesus pls...I am so week...like Gideon pls. show me Your power in my life and help me to realize Your love for me. Pls. comfort me. I believe truly that You will...You promise to...pls. help my unbelief and doubts to disappear! Just as that man cried "Lord I believe! Help my unbelief!" So do I...
Pls...
In Jesus name,
Amen

And that was it...I just layed myself, all of me, before the Lord. And you know what!? The next morning I woke up having slept like a baby! God is sooo good! And that is not all...He gave me a new spirit. Every moment I have been trying to think "Is this for Jesus, will this glorify Him?" Yeah, I still have and will mess up but...WOW! When you make an effort to live 100% for Jesus every moment of the day...Things HAPPEN!
So what about YOU?
Do you want to make this commitment with me? To live a sold-out life for Jesus no matter what the cost and leave the rest up to Him? If so, write me...I am thinking of setting up another blog (kinda like this one) except it will be almost like a forum where we would all share what the Lord is doing in our lives and have discussions about certain issues. What do you think? Leave your comments and we will see what God can do.
He wants to use YOU! But...are you willing to let Him?

ATTENTION!

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
ABBY HAS A BLOG! You will find it in the links section along with Dannys and Jennys!

Boys...

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
Boy I bet the title of this post got some attention! At least if you are anything like me! LOL! :)
I have made a decision to save myself completely for my future husband. So that on our wedding day I can give him all of me not just part. To me dating is seeing if we are compatible for marrige. Not a few month fling like the high school scene! That may sound pretty radical but I believe that it will be soooo worth it! Here are some neat videos that support this!




Here is a really good one from Barlowgirl too on this and related topics:



So what did you think? That is a whole lot to think about huh? So, I've had to ask myself this too, are you modest in you clothing? I don't mean amish dress but just how tight are those jeans and just how low is that shirt? That is a challenging thing to think about! Well, love to you all and have a great week!

Hey All!

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
So I am finally back from CO! Did you miss me? LOL! :) I am going to be working on a post of the pics but it might take awhile so be patient! In the meanwhile to keep you occupied here is something to think about from Rebecca St. James:\



So how is your self-esteem? You know what! If you are a child of Jesus you are his PRINCESS! Isn't that amazing! You are wanted and loved! In His (Jesus') eyes your worth is more the precious jewals in fact, you are His precious jewal! Jesus loves you so don't get your worth from others whether that be boys, friends, family, peers...get it from Jesus. He loves you so much that He died for YOU! Take some time and thank Him for that!

The Best Easter EVER! :)

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there! How was your Easter? I think that this is the best one we have ever had! We had a lot of people over including our 2 boy cousins. We had so much fun! See, normally, we don't talk to them and these family gatherings are really boring. But not so this time! Here is a pic:
This is all of us with Grandma Case. Front: Abby, Jenny, Grandma, Me. Back: Danny, Holden, and Matt.
Aren't the guys tall!?! They just dwarf us girls :)
If you think of it pls. pray for Holden...He kept asking me what to be "saved" meant so I gave him a tract. They are such neat guys and they need the Lord.
I hope your Easter was as good as mine!
