So, i went to florida to my aunts house and spend the night with her, my uncle there girl, Kara, and my grandmother! It was so much fun!! Me and Kara bonded! lol
But God showed me a couple of things this weekend. I was hoping with an expectation that He would speak to me and show me something while i was there! =D
Saturday night, my aunt had her Christmas Cantata dress rehearsal practice at her church and i went with her. On the way home, she opened the sunroof on her car and i looked up at the stars..We were like out those middle of nowhere spots so you could see the stars extremely well. The first that came to my mind was something my friend, Caitlin, said about God's creation. She was saying how the sunset the wind the stars and all God did just for us- just for us because He loves us that much! [you should go read her blog on that..its really good!!] So now we i look at the sunset or like this particular night the stars i think about that.
As i am just sitting there just looking around at the sky and seeing all the different stars, I just began to realize more and more the vastness of the sky and even just the beauty held within the stars in the night sky. I
t reflects the beauty of the Lord. I have looked at the stars before coming home from trips or something but saturday night it was like i never really had stopped to REALLY look at it in its vastness and see the great beauty in it. It was just simply amazing.

It was just simply amazing.But what i thought was cool that I guess the Lord was showing me was, to us, the stars in the sky just looked scattered about in the sky. But to God it doesnt. He has put each star in a specific and special place designed by Him just for us!! Forget constellations, i mean from like a heavenly view! how cool is that! Amazing creator!
The next thing God i think spoke to me about what like about thoughts. This weekend my mind went crazy with aweful crazy thoughts! ugh! I kept just rebuking them and renouncing them [i aint saying what they were..it was lies just other "wordly" things i guess you could say] and saying that thats not who i am, its not who God says i am, and so on...i guess like everytime this would be going on this thought would come to my mind it just to me along time to realize it or something or mayb it was jus
t this time i dont know but the thought or i guess you could said phrase came to my mind "then whats the problem?" i felt like God was saying that to me. Like if its not me, im against it, its not who God says i am, and so on..then whats the problem? there should be no "struggle" or "wrestling" with those thoughts cause there just a bunch of dead thought that have no ownership of me and stuff, ya know? And when i was realizing all this i just felt a sense of freedom and peace! which it reminded me of what God spoke to me like a week ago [which i think i posted on another blog] about "its only hard if you let your mind overpower who you are"

Hey Jojo :D
I really love this post because of course i could relate to it! haha
I thought the part of the stars great of course - but then the part of thoughts that go through our head- is really a pet peeve in my case. I have been dealing so much with lies going through my head telling me who i am by what i do and just so much more lies. My mom told me about just looking up verses in the bible and writing down wat God says about me. Then she was talking to me about how our mind is a battlefield! And i wanted to thank you for reminding me to fight - because yes!!! i do need to fight when all these negative thoughts are flying rampid through my head! And in the bible - i need to find where- but it says to take captive each thought! And gurl that can be challenging! ok im gonna reply to ur other post now haha :D
