Let your light shine in the dark...
Sometimes I think to myself, "What do I look like to nonbelievers? Does my light shine for Jesus? Or am I looking like I'm all about myself". I am regularly asking myself that question. I do hope my light is shining for Him!! Have you ever asked yourself that question? And why? Please comment your thoughts on this...
Sorry this post is so short! I didn't know what else to write! Sorry!
And by the way, this is the last post for ~Tell me your thoughts~ posts! So...yeah ;)
God Bless!

Love is here, love is now...
Happy Valentine's Day Friends! Isn't Valentine's day a fun holiday?!
Love is like a river flowing always to you ready to tell you how much you are cared for by the Creator. Love is not against you out to harm you but is always here for you when you are hurting and is on your side. Love is beautiful, love is gentle, love was made by Him, the Creator. Love is amazing, love is graceful always in you at anytime.
Love is like a rose blooming with beauty to set your heart on fire for Him, the Creator.
Love is peaceful, love is sweet. You can not live without that love always coming down from heaven like rain on a sunny day. Love is real, love is here.
Love is yours, love is mine, love is made by Him, the Creator.
Can you imagine love flowing like a river in a desert like I imagine so?
Love is here, love is now...
These simple words just started swarming in me. I couldn't help but follow my heart and write them down for you to read. Maybe someday soon I will make this in to a song!
Yes, I probably haven't told you but I write music! I have written I don't know how many songs. I hope one day I will be able to get my songs out there for people to listen to!
I think God's plane for my life is to write music and get it out there for hurting people to listen to. For I feel for people who are hurting, and music means a lot in my life so I hope my songs will mean a lot to people too! Maybe even bring them to Christ!
So yes that is my plane and goal in life!
Well, I hope you are having a good Valentine's Day!
God Bless you on your journey towards His light!

~Tell me your Thoughts~ Day Three
Deuteronomy 6:5
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
That verse is a good one to remember in your life. It is one of God's greatest commandments. To love your Lord your God with everything you do. Sometimes we get so caught up in what we are busy with that we forget about loving our great God with ALL our heart and ALL our soul and with ALL our might. Yes, it is way to easy to get caught up in life. But there is a way to bring God into your life even you know your SO busy. Here is the key to it, stop making yourself so busy. It's kind of our doing to make ourselvs so busy, it's our excuse to not have time to talk with God. But we can stop this though! Take the time in your everyday life to stop and talk to God and ask Him for His guidance in what to do that day. Give Him your burdens and the stuff you stress about everyday. He will gladely take care of that for you. I have to say you will feel ALOT better giving your busy life to God. You will feel so much lighter by lifting those burdens off of you and giving them to Him.
But you might be like "but Lizzie! you are saying to give God all your burdens! Why give them to Him!? He is the King! Don't give your burdens to Christ! We should serve Him not say here take all this it's to heavy!"
No that is not what it's like. Listen to these key words, when you give your burdens to Him He won't hold them for you. He will throw them away because there is NO use for them. And another thing, He wants you to give Him your stress and burdens because when we do we can see God SO much better! We actually have our eyes fixed on HIM! Not our everyday life!!!!!!
Am I making sense? I hope I am! Because this is true stuff!
If you have any questions on this subject please email me at
here4reachingout@gmail.com I will try to help you understand what I mean.
By the way this post I'm not trying at ALL to put a guilt trip on you!! This is NOT my point to make you feel like you are doing everything wrong. I'm writing this post to encourage you! God has put this on my heart to write this for you. Just to encourage you in your walk towards Him! I know in my everyday life sometimes I get so busy with my life I feel like I don't have time to talk to God. But I have to stop and put my eyes on Him! I'm here for you!
God Bless you on your journey towards Him!

~Tell me your thoughts~ Day Two
With a word God made the heavens and the earth and all that is in them...
Just think of that! With a WORD He made the stars in the sky! With a WORD He made the dirt! With a WORD He made the EARTH! How cool is that?! He didn't have to swing a wand and sing a song to make everything! No! He spoke and it was made!
Can you even imagine how powerful He is to do that? Sometimes we take His power for granted. We say "hey you! i want this, get me it!" but we shouldn't treat Him like that at all! He is NOT some one to treat like your dolly! We should PRAISE Him and HONOR Him and SERVE Him in ALL that we do!
Sometimes we think He can't answer a big prayer. We don't have FAITH in Him.
We think He is only so big. But is that how we should think of God? NO WAY! Guess what?! He MADE the heavens and the earth and EVERYTHING in them with a WORD! It's amazing!!!!!!!!
Sometimes we pray a big prayer and He doesn't answer it right away.
Does that mean He isn't listening to your prayer. No! He hears EVERY PRAYER YOU PRAY!
But sometimes we ask something that isn't possible for our future to happen. Or maybe He does answer your prayer but just not how you thought of it being answered.
But He makes all plans for your life. Plans for wholeness not for evil.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with your whole heart, I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile".
Isn't that verse a good reminder showing how loving God is and shows who is in control? I just love that verse. It seems when ever I feel like nothing is going my way I open my Bible and what verse do you think I turn to? Jeremiah 29:11-14. EVERY TIME! It's amazing how God speaks directly to you through His word! That is why it is SO important to ALWAYS read your Bible because God is in it! Well, I hope you are having an awesome day! But if you are not having a good day and feel defeated like I did yesterday feel free to email me at here4reachingout@gmail.com I will pray for you! But just know if you are feeling like that, DON'T BELIEVE THAT AWFUL LIE!!! It is the dark one telling you that you are not worth anything, but it is NOT true! You are worth more than the world to God! He created you and LOVES you! Remember that ALWAYS!
God bless you on your journey towards Him!

SuperBowl Party! Tell me your thoughts...
Last night our church held big a Superbowl party! It was SO much fun!
The whole church was filled with fun games! The fun thing is me and and my family right after church yesterday morning helped set all the games and decorations up for the Superbowl party that night. It was so much fun! But it wasn't JUST about the Superbowl party. During the whole fun time we had a cool service. The Superbowl party seemed much more fun bringing Christ into it. Just think if the WHOLE world brought Christ into their life, just think how much better life would be knowing that Christ is told about EVERYWHERE!
The service was about the spiritual battles we deal with everyday. Like when we are reading our Bibles and we get bored. Or even little temptations that we don't even notice. But if you think about it, those little temptations are being battled everyday for you by God. But the thing is you have to choose to say no to that temptation... I'm always battling in small ways to stay on the narrow road. God's road. What are your thoughts on this? Do you notice the temptations in your life? Are you so drawn in that you don't even notice that it is a temptation? Or are you trying to stand firm in God? Comment on my blog what your thoughts are on this...
If you need prayer for something that you are struggling with please comment. I'll be here for you to pray for you. But if you don't want your comment to be seen by other readers I am putting all my comments in "approval by author" first. And your comment won't be published. I have decided this blog of mine is designed for prayers. What I mean is I want this blog to be encouraging to you. So if you need prayer, struggling with something or battling with something please tell me about it. I know why I am here. And that is to serve God and help people who are needing help with something. Please if anything is on your mind comment. For it is good to get it out than keep it hidden. I found out. I am soon to make an email for this. So you don't have to comment on my blog. You can just email me. But I haven't made the email yet. I'm still working on it!
This week I am doing blog posts that are called "Tell me your thoughts". The posts will be about our spiritual life. About things that God has put on my heart. So this whole week when ever I can I will post the "Tell me your thoughts."
Thanks! I am here for you!
