~POIGNANT PEARLS~: Where I went

*******************************************************************************************************************************
This page will be found filled with words; sometimes my original thought, and other times just me relaying inspiring notions read or heard. This is just a way to speak my mind, and in doing so, (hopefully) somehow speak into the lives of others.

Where I went

I thought I would take a quick minute and update. I went MIA from the blogging world back at the end of 2008 because I started up a Masters in Counseling Psychology. So work full time and school full time has left no time for blogging. :( It saddens my heart that I can't. But I'm not deleting this page. Perhaps I can resume after graduation in July 2010.

Till then...

Bible Verses

*****************************************
I like the Bible. And I read it daily. NIV is my version of choice.

9.12.08
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:4-7

8.1.08
"When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
Your love, O Lord, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me,
Your consolation brought joy to my soul."
Psalm 84: 18,19

7.29.08
My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
1 Corinthians 4:4-5

7.25.08
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.
Romans 16: 17-19

7.22.08
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does He withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
Psalm 84:11

7.18.08
"Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
1 Timothy 4:7,8

7.15.08
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."
Luke 16:10

7.11.08
"For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
Romans 8: 24,25

7.8.08
"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin, how can we live in it any longer?"
Romans 6:1,2

7.4.08
"Though You have made me see troubles, many and bitter,
You will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
You will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again."
Psalm 72:20,21

7.1.08
"God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger."
Romans 2:6-8

6.27.08
"I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory. For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith."
Ephesians 3: 13-17a

6.24.08
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
2 Cor. 10:5

6.20.08
"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe..."
Philippians 2:14,15

6.17.08
"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart, his mouth speaks."
Luke 6:45

6.15.08
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitueds of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."
Hebrews 4:12,13
*****************************************

Living life as a twenty-somthing. One would think I could have everything figured out by now. I haven’t. I wish I could say life has been “smooth sailing”, but it hasn’t. There has definitely been unneeded heartache along the way. I can’t change the past, nor can I predict the future, and I am okay with that (most days). I’m learning to live in the here and now. I’m a young, vivacious, very single female who is learning what it means to walk with Jesus. It’s a ride that I’m pleased to be on, and it is by the GRACE of God that I am still planted in my seat. I’m practicing finding joy in ALL circumstances. I’m discovering how to embrace my “single” status in a (so it seems) world of Marrieds. I see life as a constant opportunity for growth, change, and learning experiences. Relationships are what I live for. Nothing brings a smile to my face faster than watching someone excel. I will leave this earth happy if I can impact at least one person in a positive way. I’m here to support.
