Amazed!......."How I deeply need You"

Wow God is so amazing! For the fact that He woke me up today and was with me throughout the day. His even with me as we speak as I am writing this blog. So I've been reading my bible daily and so far we are into the story of Abram who of course will later be named Abraham. He is a great man of God who was very obedient. Lord help me to be obedient! Oh how I deeply need You.....each and every day. It is so awesome to know that the little things you do like smile or give someone a hug can show a glimpse of God in some one's life. I am currently in nursing school and it's not easy but I'm making it. Today we got awards for different things we have done so far. The awards consist of getting certificates and pins which I thought were nice. The surprising thing was that I actually won some of the awards. The ones I won were perfect attendance (even though there were days when I didn't want to get out of bed :-) ), Academic Dean Award which is an award for students who made an average so far in their classes between 84-89 (I'm making an 89) and the most surprisng one to me was the award that was voted out of everybody in my class by the teachers....the most outstanding student award for my personality and I guess my hardwork but I take no credit for that. GLORY TO GOD!!!!!! It caught me off guard. I thought someone else would win that. I'm just inspired to continue to grow and strengthen my relationship with Jesus so more people can see Him through me. He has continued to love me despite the times I've hurt Him. "Jesus how I deeply need you" Lord help me to do what Your word says
"In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16. Everything is for Your glory. That's why I breath, that's why I live. It's for Your glory. Lord how I deeply need You!

How Deeply I Need You by Darrell Evans



Here is my heart
I give it Lord to You
Here is my life
I lay it before You
Where else could I go
And what else could I do
If I did not know You

How deeply I need You my Lord
How deeply I need You my Lord

Like the desert needs the rain I need You
Like the ocean needs the streams I need You
Like the morning needs the sun I need You
Lord You are my only one

Revive Me

It's the new year. Time for changes in people's lives. The time where people make resolutions in their lives in which some are kept and some are not. I have decided to rededicate my life to serving my Lord, Jesus Christ. I want 2009 to be a year of complete dependence on Him to supply my needs (not my wants). I want every aspect of my life to bring Him glory!!! I recently bought a daily bible by Max Lucado titled "Grace For The Moment." I am currently reading that with this website called One Year Bible Blog. It's awesome just reading about God's word from His creation to the birth of His son Jesus. I truly look forward to reading the book of Psalm's for the fact that it's a book about pouring out different emotions towards God. From this day I want more and more and more of You, God!!! As I was sitting back getting ready to read my bible I was listening to a song by Jeremy Camp that got my thinking and just desiring more of God.....I actually started crying. I usually do that with my alone time....when it's just Him and me and I know I will be doing that a lot throughout the year. Lord revive me!!

Psalm 119:169-176

169 Hear my cry to you, Lord.
Let your word help me understand.
170 Listen to my prayer;
save me as you promised.
171 Let me speak your praise,
because you have taught me your demands.
172 Let me sing about your promises,
because all your commands are fair.
173 Give me your helping hand,
because I have chosen your commands.
174 I want you to save me, Lord.
I love your teachings.
175 Let me live so I can praise you,
and let your laws help me.
176 I have wandered like a lost sheep.
Look for your servant, because I have not forgotten your commands.

My first blog ever!

Hello,

So I don't know how to start this.......this is my first time blogging. I thought this would be a good idea to express myself through writing even though I didn't like the subject (writing of course) in high school. My blogspot is called "Growth" and that is exactly what it will be about. More importantly the growth that involves my relationship with Jesus. I want to express everything that I go through with Him by my side. The good times and bad times......the ups and downs. I believe this will be a wonderful thing and it will be great to look back even a year from now and see the how much I have grown. It's 1:13 in the morning and it's about time for me to go to bed.....but I am truly looking forward to tomorrow and sharing my life with whoever God allows me to.
