Love Letter

I love you. I want you to know how much I love you. Words are inadequate in explaining how happy you make me. You are my everything and I love being able to call you mine.  I love everything about you. The way that you care, the way that you love, and yes, even your faults.  I watch you.  I see the things that hurt you and I see the things that you struggle with. And when that happens, I just want to take you in my arms and hold you.  I love when you let me.  When you are not near, I miss you. When you don't spend time with me, I miss you. I hate spending one day away from you.  I hope you know how much I love you.   You sometimes beat yourself up for not begin perfect, but I know you're not perfect.  And if you mess up, it's ok.  My love will cover that.  I see through your faults. I see the women that you are and that you will be. Since the day you acknowledged me, I have felt your love. When you do all you can to please me, I know that you love me.  I want to be in your life forever and I hope you feel the same way too. Love, Jesus

I've been studying Song of Solomon lately and have been so overwhelmed with how He loves me.  How many times have I said He loves me, but how often do I really understand what that really means.  This past few weeks, He's given me a sneak peak at His love for me and I'm speechless.  

It's not a secret that I'm single.  And it can get lonely. I mean let's just be honest. Staying at home every night alone gets old.  But I've been praying "Lord, fill those gaps.  I want to long to be in your presence more than I long to be in man's.  I want to have an relationship with you and hear your voice so clearly.  I want to know you, know your ways, and just be in your presence.  I want to understand how much you love me."  And as always, He doesn't disappoint.  He's revealing to me His love for me---for M-E.  Not my friend, not my pastor, but ME.  How could I have ever felt alone.  How could I have ever wanted more.  I just sit and cry at how much he loves me and how humbled I am to be called His.  

The Song of Solomon is pretty racy for the Bible.  Once I began studying it I was a bit shocked.  But it's also a love affair.  It's also a picture of how he loves us. We are His bride which means He sees us like a newlywed sees his wife.  There's a longing to be together.  They notice all the wonderful things about each other. They are so deep into their own little world that no one else exists.  Just him and her.  And that's what I've been praying. Lord, let me be in your world where no one else exists. I just want to love Him and feel His love for me. I want to get to know the deep places of who He is.  But through praying that, He's beginning to reveal how much He loves me and what I mean to Him.  To Him, only I exist.  He made me. He knows EVERYTHING about me.  He has made it His business to be mine when I allow Him to be mine.  And I want that so much. 

He gave me this love letter idea a few days ago. Since Valentine's is coming up, what's better than getting a love letter from Jesus.  Flowers are nice too.......oh wait..he's given those to me too :)  He did create them after all :)

What are we listening to?

I recently purchased this book called Women of the Word which was recommended to me by a friend.  It's a year long devotional of 52 women in the Bible.  I'm on week one and God is already using it to teach me.  EVE WHAT GOD SAID:  You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die. WHAT EVE TOLD THE ENEMY GOD SAID:  We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and  you must not touch it,  or you will die." WHAT THE ENEMY TOLD EVE:  You will not certainly die,  for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. First -  Eve added to God's word. Second - so did the enemy. Seeing this leads me to ask two questions: 1. How of...

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Lord, use me.  A prayer I've prayed a million times.  But lately I've been doing some soul searching, or rather God has been telling me about myself. (Don't you love when he does that.)  I've always wanted to be used by God greatly.  I've said that I've surrendered all, sang the song a million times, and just turn around to pick up all the junk I've laid on the alter for the 15th time that month and try to figure out this "surrendered" life I'm supposed to lead.  I've tried to map out how he can use me, where he can use me, and what he will have me doing.  Well let me just tell you folks, my head has been stuck in the sand for many years.  Now don't get me wrong, I've always wanted what God wanted for me and although I've put up a fight for a few things, I usually give in, hang my head like a little girl, and say "You were right all along and I should have listened the first time."  Why do us girls always try to figu...

From Choctaw to Uganda

So I'm just going to warm you in advance that this post will be mushy and sentimental.  Ok..you've been fully warned. :) This year's trip to Uganda will be much more special in one particular way…i will be sharing it with someone who is so dear to my heart.  We aren't the type of people to sit and talk about how we feel to each other or to tell each other what we mean to each other but I knew that at least one of these blog posts would be dedicated to her.   See, this girl has gotten me through some really hard times in my life.  She is a friend, a family member, and most of all my sister.  Growing up, I had to go through things that thankfully most children that age never have to experience.  I had a very sick little sister who was in and out of the hospital many times during my childhood.  During those hospital stays, I would live with my grandmother.  This girl stuck by me through it all.  I don't know if she really understood what her pre...
