Get it together.

Not words I really know how to follow. Reckless should be my middle name. My room is anything but together, and it's something that doesn't really bother me. One person it does bother is my wonderful mother, though. Sometimes I'll come home from work and she's (oh, so kindly) tidied it up a bit. Then I kind of freak out and can't find anything, and am thinking, "Woman! I can't find myyyy stufffffff!". But, in the grand scheme of things, she does it to keep her house clean.

God does the same things in our hearts. Mine, especially. I drag out all these things to keep it cluttered and busy. There's just not enough space for God in it. Then, like my mommy does to my room, God comes and cleans it up. He might take things away that we dearly loved, move things around so that sitting in the middle of this figurative heart-room, is only Him. Most likely giggling to Him self while we scramble around that room looking for things and feeling like the sky is falling, when we come around, all that matters is to focus on us God. We can sit down and talk to Him, learn from Him and grow in Him. The rest of the stuff in the room loses it's meaning.

Everyone likes to have something to do, having something entertaining them. Music, friends, video games, sports, television. All of those are awesome things, but sometimes God de-clutters our lives, puts those things to the side so we can have the spiritual main dish- Him.

The Start.

This is the start, of something new, it feels so right, to be here with youuu.

Hopefully that High School Musical song is stuck in your head for days. You're welcome. To the point, though.

God has been putting a lot of things on my heart lately, this new blog is one of them. I'll try to keep it updated as often as possible. Recently, there's been a ton of changes in my life. Some of them don't complety make sense to me, but they're part of God's plans, and that's all I've got to go with. Whatever those plans may be, they're going to be good. Why? Well, because they're God's! He doesn't make bad things.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future.
-Jeremiah 29:11

For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.
-Philippians 2:11

So, even when my life seems upside down, things are good. 'Cause when I'm upside down, God can shake the lint out of my head and give me a clearer view of Him. It's cleaning out the spiderwebs, it's refinement.

For anyone who reads this, thank you. Please keep up, cause there might be some cool stuff on here sometimes. :)
