"Whose gonna save you now?!..."

I'm having a bad day. I was feeling down about my single hood tonight but then I discovered a little mouse scurrying about in my apartment. That Threw me into a freeze state as it tried to run into the living room and then ran back into the kitchen, I cried. And then the voices in my head started screaming "Whose gonna save you now Emily, whose gonna save you now?" I grabbed the phone, called my mom, she didn't answer, tried Ace, tried Allen, tried Joe, tried Kati...finally got a hold of mom and she brought me some mice traps. I cried more. Then Allen came over to try and see if he could find it and catch it, but no such luck. But that isn't what this post is about, its about that voice in my head. The evil one will try to get us anyway that he can...but the truth is he only gets power over our fears and anxieties when we allow it. And thats exactly what I did when I freaked out instead of turning to Jesus to take my fears away.

Whose gonna save me now?? Jesus. He already did.

Its time I take a stand for my heart

I took a stand today again for my heart, it seems like I've been doing that a lot lately. But, I'm tired of having it stepped on. Tired of having it hurt, and more than anything tired of allowing myself to go through it all. I love my Savior...my Jesus. And that's where I'm focusing my attention, on men, women, youth who love the Lord like me. I heard an older song yesterday while driving in town...I love the song and its so true to me and you and any situation you are or could ever or have ever gone through. Check it out:

A Lover's Weekend....

Oh how I've always loved Valentine's Day weekend...aside from this year. Its no secret that I'm so uncomfortable in my single hood, but I'm trying to embrace it the best that I can, with Christ's help I will over come this. I continue to seek Jesus as the Lover of my Soul. And I would say I'm progressing quite nicely, although I was feeling rather down yesterday when a friend received flowers at work...at that moment for about 5 minutes I felt sad that I'd be alone this year. But then I realized that Valentine's Day is on Sunday this year. How awesome is that?!? I can't wait for tomorrow to come so that I can be spending Valentine's day with the One that I love. My Lord and Savior...how awesome is it that this year we get to spend THE most romantic day of the year in worship...I'm rather pumped.



What are you your plans this weekend?

A must see!

I've never been more happy to see a sale end...

than I am today! I just found out that the $1 large soda at McDonald's is now over! HOORAY! I've never been more addicted to getting my "caffein" fix than I was with their $1 drink. And let me tell you, thats a whole lotta soda to be drinking in one sitting, yet I'd down them as if they were nothing! Thank-you McDonalds for encouraging my diet and stopping one of my temptations to spoil it! Soon, I won't "need" cokes as my energy will be so up that I won't feel the need to splurge every now and then on some caffein! WOOHOO!!!

My heart is so heavy today, it must be time to worship...

I've had a very humbling day today...I had to ask for help which is so hard for me to do. I want so badly to provide for myself and succeed in doing so, and today I found myself up against the wall with no where else to turn but to reach out and ask for help. My need was met, Thank you Jesus. But yet it still leaves me upset, sad that I'm still being hit in the face by myself for my life not turning out the way I wanted it too. In highschool, everyone focused on what was to come when we busted out of those doors, not me...I just lived day to day loving my life as a high schooler, I figured everything would just fall into place after I got my diploma...yet today I still find myself trying to find a purpose, where to go with my life. I dont know where God is calling me, so for now I will continue to serve where he has placed me...with the children that I love. I will be volunteering to serve at church and I'll be praying that God reveals it all to me from there. What I do know is through this hard time in life, I will praise Him!



I'm feeling bound, Jesus "take the shackles off my feet so I can dance...I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU!"



"Nobody told me the road would be easy, and I dont believe He's brought me this far to leave me."



Thank-you Lord for all that you've done, and yet to do.
