WE'VE MOVED!!

My new blog is at rebekahkish.wordpress.com!! Just mosey on over there!

Prayer

I saw "War Room" a few weeks ago and it was amazing! One of the main characters, Miss Clara, prayed with so much faith and trust that I was envious.

Like most, when you go to something or watch something so inspiring you reflect and think about the things you want to change, so, of course, I wanted to grow in my prayer life.

A to B

I love the song "Trust in You" by Lauren Daigle and when I hear the lines:

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You

KimK

I'm sure you know about the KimK nude photo she recently posted.

A grab for attention? A confidence boost for herself? Who knows why she posted that picture. Oh wait, as her caption stated she posted it because she had no clothes to wear!

End it

This is such a crazy thing. There are so many human traffic hubs up and down 1960. It is close to us. Somewhere where many think it would never happen. But it can and it does. It happens 25% of the time in Texas.

Comparison

It is so easy to compare.

Compare clothes, hair or makeup. But, recently I have found myself comparing what I THINK someone's relationship with Christ is to mine.

"Dad"

 

Maybe you know, maybe you don't. But, my "father" is not a part of my life.

He chose alcohol over me.

He chose to be a selfish man rather than be a selfless parent.

Always

For me, it is so much easier to admit when I screwed up to other people than it is to admit it to God.

Maybe because I feel like it is more of an even playing field and my peers may have more empathy and I feel like God is so perfect like He would never understand.

But, the crazy thing that I ALWAYS forget is that God already knows. Like He is already aware of what I did and the shame and guilt I feel.

Desensitized

As someone who's had a gun pointed at me, no I didn't want to die. I was scared and in shock. 

Our society has become so desensitized. We just want something that'll sound funny or get RTs we're not thinking about the reality of the situation.

Notifications

Like many, I have the Bible app on my phone. It sends me a daily verse around 10 o'clock each day.

Honestly, sometimes I won't really read it or I'll just exit the notification, but I noticed that there were a few verses that just kinda stuck. Actually, most of them for the past week and as I look at my notifications and I will read the verses and think about it just for a second. Just a small reminder.

But that wasn't on accident. It wasn't just a fluke that those verses I kept and those verses for a reason. They spoke to me. They gave me hope, they were a reminder.

Masterpiece

I go through spells where I don't feel good about the way I look. I see other people and compare my body and looks to theirs. But, the God who created that beautiful sky created me with more love and attention than that sky. The creator of the universe made me the way I am just the way I am. 

2015

As I prepared for Sunday's small group lesson I started to realize how much it spoke to me. I think it is just so awesome how God can speak to you when you're not even looking for it.

The lesson is in Psalm 33. It is all about the things God has done for David and how he shows God appreciation and what God shows him on a daily basis.
