the past few weeks have been some of the hardest in my walk.

i have not been allowing His word to feed me in such a way that I cannot live without it- so, this is why the enemy’s attacks have been hitting me so freaking HARD. i mean, for the past few weeks, i have been absolutely miserable, it seems. I seem happy. joyful. but the enemy has been so persistent in his pursuit to strike me down. everything that has possibly gone wrong has gone wrong, and i cannot and have not been able to find peace.

but the Lord has embraced me with His open arms, and throughout all of this has reminded me that I have authority. I feel that I have little, though. I feel as if I am not properly handling the triumphs and trials that the lord has given me with responsibility. but he has shown me that I have the power to call out the enemy and CAST HIM AWAY. CAST HIM OUT. His power has nothing over the Lord’s reign.

this is all to say that, for any of you that feel as if the enemy is persistent in his pursuit to end your happiness and pursuit of the Lord, STRIKE HIM DOWN!!! The Lord will respond to Your call and answer your prayers. He will deliver you from harm’s way.

I am still struggling. It hasn’t just gone away. But I am continuing to trust in him and just know that I cannot stand firm when I am leaning on my own understanding.

I hope that this brief testimony will bless someone this evening :) G’night.

I had the most amazing summer of my life, and now I’ve been back for four months, working my butt off so that I can get into art school.

The Lord has shown me so much these past few months about just being confident in myself, and relying on him to show me His plan for me, and most of all to trust that plan.

I’ve been praying for things to go my way, but when they don’t, I realize how much sweeter and richer His way is. It also reminds me of just how much I need him.

So, it doesn’t really matter where I end up in August of 2012 because I have so much faith that the Lord is going to put me where he will use me. More than anything, I ask that He humbles me wherever I go, and hopefully someone will see Christ through me :)

Throught my time in San Francisco I have learned to delight in the Lord and pursue him through absolutely anything! There were so many times when my teachers discouraged me, and I became so dissatisfied with the work I was producing, and in those times the Lord revealed Himself to me, and showed me that I can’t do it alone- I need Him! 

After spending time with the Spirit and just listening to Him, He helped me to keep faith and comforted me during those times. He showed me my strengths, and weaknesses- 

Now that our finals are due, I’m so pleased with my work! The final work is such a reflection of how important the Father is in my life and completely glorifies Him. 

Also… I was really bummed that none of my family could come to my show… until my sister told me she’s flying in tonight to see it tomorow! 

God’s timing is always so so good.

…..just a quick testimony :)

He always works for the good of those who love him.

I really think we forget how GOOD of a God we serve :) 

It’s been a great five weeks, and I owe it all to the Lord for making it happen.
