"Holy Fire, burn away, my desire for anything that is not of you; that is of me. I want more of you and less of me.
So empty me, empty me. And fill me, won't you fill me, with you, with you."
This was a song that was sung at a youth retreat I went on this weekend. It is a powerful song; a prayer. What would it look like if each of us earnestly prayed this?
That is my challenge for you today. Examine your heart. Are you allowing Christ to have a hold on your heart? Or are you letting the things of this world to have a better grip on who you are?
This is also what I am asking myself.
Let Jesus become your all. Let Him reign over your heart.

Hello!
Dear Friends,
I am so glad to be back on my dear little blog again! I am terribly sorry for the long time since the last time I was on here! I am sure you all thought I was quite dead! Well, I am not, I'm very much alive in fact. :) My days have been busy with all sorts of goodies. Ranging everywhere from school to youth group activities.
Life for me has been very interesting. God is teaching me so many new things. In this new year He has taught me some very hard lessons, I believe He is planning something great for me, but I, in my sinful nature, pull away and don't want His great leading. This does not get me very far though. But He has been there every minute of those rebellious times, He has all along been gently calling to me just follow Him but I have plugged my ears and ignored Him. Again I will repeat this has not taken me very far. When we surrender all at the cross of Jesus there is such peace. I have learned this the hard way in the past year. For some reason I thought I could find peace on my own. I could not. Searching by myself only took me further from what I was actually looking for. Jesus has been so good in forgiving my selfish desires. He has picked me out of the dirty dungeon I was sitting in and made me into His princess. He has loved me like no one ever can. He has given me the peace surpassing all understanding.
What a wonderful Savoir!
