Hephzibah and other promises

I have been taking a special joy in the sweetness of my beloved, Jesus, this week. He has reassured me in so many ways this week of my security and identity in him, his ridiculous love for me, and the fact that his ways are FAR higher than mine. Some verses that have been close to my heart the past couple weeks...


And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:19


Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4


For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9


You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her (Hephzibah), and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
Isaiah 62:3-4


I have been rejoicing in the endless promises of God.... for I am Hephzibah in his sight.

Finding Peace

The JOY of the the LORD is my STRENGTH!

Life takes prayer... like visa!

I would GREATLY appreciate prayer...
for a group interview for RA tonight 7-8:30- courage, right words, etc.
for Jesus to give me insurmountable JOY for life!
love!

Update on my graphic design projects... I think they're comin' along nicely. :)

Cobwebs

I've been cleaning under my bed for the past hour or so... my room has been getting increasingly less cluttered this past year. It kinda makes me sad to look around and look in my closets and drawers where there used to be stuff EVERYWHERE, and now my life is reduced to so much less. I don't know why it bothers me since it's all material dumb stuff from when I was seven, it just does. Just another hump I'll have to get over as this near transition in my life starts to roll into motion.

Graphic Design... aka my future. :)

Here's one of 3 initial projects I'm working on in my graphic design class... it's still a work in progress, so there will be more to come!

I well remember them,

and my soul is downcast within me.

yet this i call to mind,

and therefore i have hope:

because of the lord's great love we are not consumed;

for his compassions never fail;

they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

i say to myself, "the lord is my portion,"

"therefore i will wait for him."

the lord is good to those whose hope is in him,

to the one who seeks him.

it is good to wait quietly

for the salvation of the lord.

lamentations 3:20-26

Procrastinating studying:)

I can finally see,

that you're right there beside me,

I am not my own,

for I have been made new

Please don't let me go,

I desperately need you.

-Owl City, Meteor Shower

I was struck by these lyrics hard core today! It's such a great reminder that we ARE'NT our own, we are Jesus', for him to use as he likes. I love the honesty in these lyrics... I desperately need you. Wow, great song. Please listen to it... I'll even make it easy for you >>> Listen to Meteor Shower
