beautiful you.

do you believe and trust in the word of God?
do you believe that he created the heavens and the earth perfectly in all there complex detail?
so then, do you believe that he created you beautifully and wonderfully in His own image?

God doesn't make mistakes. and you think if he made something as amazing and complex as this world, he could have easily and perfectly made something as small and beautiful as you?

it breaks my heart to see some girls that don't understand their value and don't respect themselves. women are God's gift to men. eve was made for adam, and like eve, i believe we are all perfectly created for someone. someone, not everyone.

i think when you get a revelation of God, you understand and get a better revelation of who you are/were created to be. when you get revelation of Him you begin to understand the love He has for you. that He created you as his special posession and that He has ordained you. that you are a gift and an answer, not a problem. and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image.

so in saying that: though, we are all made in His image, we are all different. each one of us is perfectly designed and hand crafted to portray different characteristics of God. so pretty much when you try to be like somebody else or put yourself down, you're insulting God and telling Him you don't ike Him and what He has created. convicting.

then when you understand who you are/were created to be, you start to walk in all that God has for you and you start to respect yourself more. you clothe yourself with strength and dignity and put on a garment of praise & a robe of righteousness. you don't go after every guy that you see because you understand what true love is and that it is patient and you were created for someone, but it will happen all in God's timing. and you also realise that from your relationship with God flows all other relationships, so if you're relationship with Him is not great, you're definitely not ready for any other relationship.

there's nothing more attractive than a woman who is madly in love with God and is on fire for Him.

...there is a whole generation of girls out there who need to know that. who need to know Jesus.
who need someone to tell them about Jesus.

i'll be that someone.

shift.

this weekend has been incredible, truly and absolutely beautiful. I don't even really know how to describe how good it was.

lol this is one of those post conference blogs where you try to explain the greatness of God and all He has done in your life over this past weekend,

but ends up failing hard out because putting it into words is proving a little difficult.

i went in believing for two things, which kind of go hand in hand really

- for God to remove this feeling of hopelessness

that had been lingering over my life lately,

and for confirmation of my future, what He wants me to do.

so first few sessions He was really just stirring my spirit,

like i could feel the Holy Spirit moving within me, preparing me,

like an intense anticipation/excitement.

and in the friday avo youth stream when levi opened the altar

to touch Jesus' hem and to get your moment, i went up and encountered God.

got prophesied over it was mean, could not have come at a better time,

shot God.

but He also just reminded me of what it means to be his daughter

- of what it means to be his princess

and everything that comes with that.

He told me i need to stop stumbling my way through life on accident

and stop living in the shadow of other people, but put purpose into my step

and run the race right, run it for Him, shining His light.

also thinking i know what He wants me to do with my life now too.

kind of along the lines of what i wanted to do, yet completely different

- which makes no sense to you, but complete sense to me.

i have to set all my dreams and desires aside though,

and set my heart on fire for His cause and His path.

should be interesting, but so so so great.

big plans, big purpose, big God.

and to top off an already beautiful weekend,

it's snowing!

pretty much just in awe of how wonderful our God is.

so stunning.

and it's my birthday tomorrow,

huuuullloooo.

fabulous.
