For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
The deliverance by the Lord is never to be question because it is the Lord's plan. Everything in the future can be seen as a promise. The Lord mercy will be shown in every future move.

The true meaning of Words
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
Have you ever really thought about the words we use to describe how we feel about different topics or things. I've been working on getting some home sick letter done for a friend that will be leaving for the next two years and I was writing so quote stuff for her and I came upon this ^ C. S. Lewis quote. I sat a minute and thought I use words all the time that aren't very just for the topic. Taking in some deep breaths and think about what you say when your shopping a Publix or where ever you go. Today alone I probably missed used the words : love, hate, awesome, epic, the best, straving and many more that I can't think of.
I love cheese and bagels, hate long lines and money. I'm awesome and you just spent an epic amount of money. Your the best and lets go im straving.
Love-
The true meaning of love, as defined in the Bible, has been corrupted in the common usage of our English language and society. Most often, love is confused with infatuation - that elated, "high" feeling we get when we "fall in love." This kind of "love" is something that lasts typically less than a year, and unless replaced by true love, results in broken relationships.
The Bible indicates that love is from God. In fact, the Bible says "God is love." Love is one of the primary characteristics of God. Likewise, God has endowed us with the capacity for love. This capacity for love is one of the ways in which we are "created in the image of God."If you are not a Christian, I hope you desire to express love as defined in the Bible. However, wanting to do so and attempting to do so in the power of your own will is guaranteed to fail. This kind of love is only possible through relying on the power of God, through faith in Jesus Christ. Even if you are a Christian, you will not succeed if you do not abide in Christ. May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
Hate-
Hate derives from a strong dislike or ill will toward persons or things. As an emotional attitude, a person may oppose, detest, or despise contact with a thing or a person. Love and hatred often stand opposed. Wisdom says, there is "a time to love and a time to hate" ( Eccl 3:8 ). In the biblical record, every being may express or experience hate.
The Bible says that God hates religiosity ( Isa 1:14 ; Amos 5:21 ), hypocrisy and lies ( Zec 8:17 ), wrongdoing ( Isa 61:8 ); divorce ( Mal 2:16 ), violence ( Mal 2:16 ), idolatrous practices ( Hosea 9:15 ), and the way the prophets are treated ( Jer 44:4 ). The theology underlying God's hatred rests upon two essential qualities of God: holiness and justice. As a divine being with standards, God hates anything that despises, detests, or disregards those standards. In return, people hate God ( Psalm 139:21-22 ). Humanity may choose to follow in God's path in hating anything that hates the Lord or his standards ( Psalm 139:22 ).

You Love them, but you don't like them
I have started listening to different speaks and in order to grow in deeper understanding I outline and share with who ever reads this.
Beth Moore Loving Difficult People Part 1
I don't like them people way, but I love them the God way. Have you ever had to love someone that God has called you to, but you really can't stand them.
Beth Moore Loving Difficult People Part 1
I don't like them people way, but I love them the God way. Have you ever had to love someone that God has called you to, but you really can't stand them.
7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Sonb into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19We love because he first loved us. 20If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother. 1John 4:7-21
God is Love. He love us first and so how can we hate our brothers.
Are we loving people well? The wicked heart that have allowed to last far to long.
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. 2 Tim 3:1-5
What we have in the end. What kind of person do you want to be? Where do we grow our bonds with people.
My thoughts about this subject:
I could never love anyone perfectly and often I come up way short of what the Lord has asked me. Have you ever thought about why you were given ears, eyes, and a mouth. Not to cut people down, but to encourage, to listen to the hurting, and look for those in need. Sin entered into the world a long time ago, but if we really know Jesus would our hearts and thoughts be what they are today.
Yesterday I found myself asking myself and only myself do I love God the way I want other people to love God. Do I put Him where I should in order to raise the bar for someone to put God where he should be. On my knees I went. Love God love people was my status on facebook the other day. People liked it and commented on it and the first thing I said is why do they like it, they are not loving at all.
Judged them didn't I. Show them you beatcha. To love people the way God loves them and no the way you like cheese or rabbits is life changing. Its a start of a movement. Love changes people's lives, it changed mine and it could change someone that you don't really care fors life.

He uses the Broken and Sinful.
Behold you have admonished many, And you have strengthened weak hands Job 4: 3
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Cor 1:27
For to be sure, He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in Him, yet by God's power we will live with Him to serve you. 2 Cor 13:4
Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony. Ps 6:2
Like a piece of clay or warm wax the Lord is molding me whether I want to be or not. If you didn't know or haven't learned this about me yet I will just tell you I hate change. Where do I have control in change? Change is something that is unknown to me or anyone else until it happens and that freaks me out just a little. Even though I am still sharp on some edges and broken on other the Lord has began to stir my heart and create a woman of God who is taking a stand for Jesus. This blog may be a little bold as you continue to read so its ok if you stop now in order to spare yourself some stirring up because after I heard and saw this in my life I could no longer sit still. This is a call of action, a call to repent and a call to step it up as a Christ follower.
I will be the first person to say I fail at this 7 out of the 10 times but in my eyes there was 3 times I may of moved forward and its 3 more than people who have done nothing have obtained. Christ follower! The verb in that is follower, when Jesus was on the earth this is what the disciples did, they followed Jesus and did work. My question is if the original followers, followed why in the heck are we sitting like rocks doing nothing to further the Kingdom? Why is it that every week we go to church and most of take notes even to never apply it to daily life. I believe the bible says that we were given a spirit not of fear but of courage to proclaim what is true. We need to get a move on it. There can be a major change in today's college world if we took the word of God serious and stopped looking at other people to make the first move. We cannot rely on the actions of love we show and the kind Christian heart we have inside. Non-Christians are nice people too so we must speak up in order for people to know the one true God.
Think about it this way. Who told you about Jesus Christ? What if they were to of chickened out or changed their mind cause they had better things to do. Some would say eventually you would be saved, others would say your off to Hell because that seed was never planted, so no one watered it and you are left to suffer. I did mention Hell right. IT not some make believe underground jail that you will go to if you die and don't know Jesus as Lord. Hell is a very real and scary place that all people were headed to until someone spoke the truth to you. How much do you have to hate someone not to share with them the truth of what you believe.
Everyone is a sinner, whether you are saved or have no clue who Jesus is, the difference is that if you know Jesus as Lord you should hate sin and not want to do the things you once did. There will be a change in your life once you become a Christian and this starts with repentance. Repentance is true turning from sin and dying to yourself to live a life that will bring glory and honor to the Father. If you are not sure if you have had this time in your life talk to someone about it. There is no shame in being sure or asking for help. It would be a sad day if you go to the throne and the Lord said be gone I never knew you. Christians you need to work on your self and pray for God to show you the things in each you need to repent for. I know these things seem like "big sins" but all are seen equal to God. If you are addicted to porn, stealing, lying, having sex, cussing, drinking, breaking the laws of the land, gossiping, being envious, or hating someone they are all sin and need to be addressed before you get on a high horse.
Christian we need to stop saying one thing and doing another! One of the main reasons people hate the church is they see people at church on Sunday teaching Sunday School classes, speaking out about sin or on the alter praying and when they walk out of church you could tell them for the lost. This is a major problem. Jesus says you know not the day nor the hour in which He will return and I am pretty sure you do not want to be seen doing some of the thing you are doing. If it is a struggle for you gather some friends up and ask them to pray and hold you accountable to your sins in order to get them in check. Biggest thing to ask God to help you over come these sins in order to become a good witness. I will be the first one to say I have hurt my witness in the past by doing things I should not be doing or by acting in a way that brought no glory to God. Our purpose on this earth is to know God and make Him known. You wouldn't advertise for Nike wearing a Adidas is awesome shirt so why advertise for Jesus when you hands are dirty and you forehead reads nothing but sin? These things should bother you I believe if your trying to share Christ and you or a Christian friend is making it hard by their actions or words.
We sweat the small stuff way to often. If it doesn't bring the Lord glory, why are we wasting our time on it? Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the Glory of Christ Jesus. Like I said I am far from perfect and I am just as sinful as you are because in Jesus' eyes it is all seen equal. I would just like to call college aged Christians foremost and everyone else to take a stand on sin and the world for the one that saved you from hell.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 1 Cor 1:27
For to be sure, He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in Him, yet by God's power we will live with Him to serve you. 2 Cor 13:4

Hey there Jen...... Umm just so you know.
Now I pour out my heart in hopes it may just bring me peace and just may give someone a little encouragement. As tears blur my vision and I begin to think of all the hurts and all the things I can't let go and I hear a warm whisper in my ear that says "Hey there Jen... Umm just so you know I have I finished this battle and I won so please my sweet daughter trust me with all of this." Oh the lover of my soul, the one that gives me each and every breath has already gone through all of this for me and came out on top so I lay these things down and I may have to do it over and over again but its ok.
This is going that be the honest truth so if your going to judge me don't read anymore.
1. Dad you left when I was young and at this point I have no clue where you are but I have felt unwanted and unloved by you since you were gone. I fear being hurt like that again so I have a problem trusting guys and listening to male authority. Most of all dad I want you to know I forgive you for leaving me because I found a heavenly Father that will love me more than you ever could. Dad if you ever want to be apart of my life again all you have to do is call or email me and I would answer sooner or later. I pray for you sometimes in hopes that the Lord would change your heart. In all of this being said I lay down the hurt of my dad leaving me.
2. Mom from the day dad left and every day after it I felt you blamed me for everything that happened there. I never got the attention I wanted from you and I was pretty sure you didn't love me. I have always been fear to let you down so I did a lot of things to make you proud, but it never worked. I would give you the world if I could and some days I feel like you would ask for more. I did a lot of not so great things because I felt like I needed to prove something but what I found out through it is I can't be your savior and I cant live to please you. I am still working on forgiving you but I do love you with all of my heart. I would do anything in my power to protect you but I do feel like you need to fall to be on your own two feet. I hope you find the Lord some day cause He will change your life and you will find true happiness in that. This I lay down knowing that Christ can heal the brokenness of my heart and draw you to Him.
3. Kim and Marvin I have always been jealous of you both, the way you guys look, the attention you got, relationships you had and the way mom loved you both. I am really sad you messed up the beautiful life that you both had going for you by getting caught up in drugs, drinking and sex. You think each time there going to make things better but the hurt you feel, the sadness you have and the pain will not get better with these things being your everything. There is someone who can heal you His name is Jesus. Hangout with Him and get to know my savior don't be proud of me because everything I have done is through Him. Lord I trust you with my brother and sister and I lift my hands whatever way you must deal with them I ask you will if it saves them.
4. I never mourned the lost of my mom-mom and every once in awhile I just ask why. She was the only person that ever truly loved me with a 100% of herself and I didn't even get to say goodbye. I don't think she knew the Lord and I didn't know Him yet so never shared with her. She was the only person who I knew cared and she was taken from me. I lay down the hurt of her death.
5. Money problems. I give them to you Lord I can't say I have always done the wise thing with my money but right now I am really struggling and I want so badly to trust that you will provide but I am afraid. I lay down this stress to you.
I lay down all the times I drank and did really stupid things and everything else I can not bear to write in my blog but I give them up to you Lord and in the next minutes or hours or days I have to give them up again I will do that because I trust you with my life. You are my lover and friend. My father and provider and I know you will work all things out for my good.
Jen be still and know that I am.

Faith is believing the unseen and Trusting the promise.
My fist are clenched and my heart is beating fast and all I can think about is how mad I am. I want to bust out in tears, scream its not fair and disappear when a friend looks at me; saying the longer you focus on the burdens the longer they will hurt. UGHhh I wanted to bust out with every excuse in the world to say well I can act this way and its fine because things suck right now. And I know she is right and I think about how I haven't given my hurts up to the Lord because I am afraid that He will not fix them the way I want them to be fixed. I want justice the way I see it to be just and I know its wrong. Selfish is what it is... The lack of trust, the pride of being in control, the self centered thoughts of its all about me. I am sorry my dear friends if I have complained to you about life lately, made you feel uncomfortable or just made a good day an ok one because of my attitude who am I to tell the God of the universe He is to small to deal with my problems. SHAME on Me.
So after this chat if the Lord didn't want to encourage me I have no idea what He was doing because I read a message from a friend on facebook which made me go read my past blog post. Slap SLAP. Did I forget all of those things, no but I choose to push truth to the side in order to have a pit party.
Pit Party- enjoying the pit and having so much fun complaining about it that you forget that Jesus is the way out.
I never thought I would be worth anything and I always asked God if he loved me so much why would He ever make me go through these things and the truth is for His glory. I can give everything good in my life to the simple answer only God and for His glory. Keep your heads up for its only but a season that we have troubles because the joy is in the morning. It is said that no one could ever pull us away from God but we also are called to live pure and blameless lives. March 18th, 2010
So without relying on the Lord this is where I have gotten........ No where, two step forward ten steps back. A running leap to bounce off the wall back to the same spot. My eyes fixed on the worldly prize instead of heavens gates. Where is the glory for the father in that? I feel as of now the Lord has taken me out of the place where I feel like everything is going to be ok again to stick me in panic mode not so I will hurt but so I will say Lord I need you. LORD I NEED you More and More and MORE. Today, tomorrow and everyday after that. So Jen what are you going to do with that? August 21st, 2011
The Lord said tonight through friends Jen you dumby I already taught you this months ago and you forgot. I am here you just have to call on me. I will always be here for you and your problems are just as important as the next persons and you need not rely on others but on me. Bring it to the cross not to the people I have given to love you and to be blessing to you. Keep being filled by my word and pour in to others and they pour in to you. Love people before yourself and hey everything will be ok with time.
So after this chat if the Lord didn't want to encourage me I have no idea what He was doing because I read a message from a friend on facebook which made me go read my past blog post. Slap SLAP. Did I forget all of those things, no but I choose to push truth to the side in order to have a pit party.
Pit Party- enjoying the pit and having so much fun complaining about it that you forget that Jesus is the way out.
I never thought I would be worth anything and I always asked God if he loved me so much why would He ever make me go through these things and the truth is for His glory. I can give everything good in my life to the simple answer only God and for His glory. Keep your heads up for its only but a season that we have troubles because the joy is in the morning. It is said that no one could ever pull us away from God but we also are called to live pure and blameless lives. March 18th, 2010
So without relying on the Lord this is where I have gotten........ No where, two step forward ten steps back. A running leap to bounce off the wall back to the same spot. My eyes fixed on the worldly prize instead of heavens gates. Where is the glory for the father in that? I feel as of now the Lord has taken me out of the place where I feel like everything is going to be ok again to stick me in panic mode not so I will hurt but so I will say Lord I need you. LORD I NEED you More and More and MORE. Today, tomorrow and everyday after that. So Jen what are you going to do with that? August 21st, 2011
