Is what you're living for ...

Someone on my friends list on Facebook shared this photo and question. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I wanted to create an art journaling page inspired by it. Really got me thinking this morning.

Strong Enough

This song is really speaking to me right now.

You must, You must think I’m strong
To give me what I’m going through
Well forgive me, forgive me if I’m wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up, I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?
Lord, right now I’m asking You to be
Strong enough, strong enough
For the both of us

Well maybe, maybe that’s the point
To reach the point of giving up
‘Cause when I’m finally, finally at rock bottom
That’s when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up, I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?
Lord, right now I’m asking You to be
Strong enough, strong enough

‘Cause I’m broken
Down to nothing
But I’m still holding on to the one thing
You are God
And You are strong when I am weak
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
And I don’t have to be strong enough
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
And I don’t have to be
Strong enough, strong enough
Oh yeah

I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up, I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?
Lord, right now I’m asking You to be
Strong enough, strong enough, strong enough

Finding God

About 5 years ago I made a choice. A choice that was wrong and I knew it. Afterwards I felt like I wasn't good enough for God to be in my life. I felt as if I had let Him down and I walked away from my church. I walked a way from a life I had built for myself based on faith and the support of fellow Christians. I walked away from a life I loved. And never looked back over all these years. God was just not the focus of my life anymore. I felt empty.

Slowly, over these past few weeks I am finding God everywhere. In my thoughts, in the choices of music I listen to, even in the new art journal project I am working on called Soar. I am finding HIM everywhere. Constant reminders that God wants me back. He wants me to led my life for Him and to discover what it is He has in store for me.

I am just in awe. That suddenly it's as if a switch has turned on and there is a chance for light in my life. I just need to surrender to His will. I need to stop putting myself and my needs and desires first. I need to make the Lord the first priority. I am slowly finding my way back and am encouraged more and more each day as He is becoming more important again.

Dreams really can come true. If that's what God has chosen for your life they really can come true.

I feel so blessed right now. So open to change. So willing to surrender.
