"take heart! i have overcome the world."

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33

When you feel like your world is coming down and you feel like you are all alone, remember, Jesus has saved us. You are NOT alone!!! Jesus said that He has come so that, IN HIM, we may have peace. "But take heart! I have overcome the world." Jesus has already won the battle!

i need you like a hurricane(:

I NEED You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing, wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I’m only Yours now
I NEED you like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I’m only Yours now
I’m only Yours now

more beautiful you ♥

Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your SKIN your BODY and your HAIR
Are perfect just the way they are

(CHORUS)
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you'll do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are

(CHORUS)

So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late YOU CAN BE SAVED

If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can ALL be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl

(CHORUS)
there could never be a more beautiful you

☆ i wanna sit at your feet ☆

the more i seek you,

the more i find you,

the more i find you,

the more i love you.

i wanna sit at your feet,

drink from the cup in your hand.

lay back against you and breathe,

and hear your heart beat.

this love is so deep,

its more than i can stand.

i melt in your peace,

its overwhelming.

Love for Enemies

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, "
-Matthew 5:43-44

A basic paraphrased version of this is saying that anyone can return hate for hate, but it takes a child of God to return a blessing and a prayer for his or her enemies (taken from a word for today). I'm sure that I am not the first to say "they are my enemy, why would I pray for them?". The truth is, it's hard to pray for someone you don't particularly like. It is especially hard to be nice to someone and show them love like God has shown us, when they are being mean to you. So instead of hating that person, why not PRAY for that person and in a sense "kill them with KINDNESS".

How are you living your life between Sundays?

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me- PUT IT INTO PRACTICE. And the God of peace will be with you."
-Philippians 4:8-9


Being a Christian isn't just about sitting in church an hour a week, it's about putting into practice what we learn on Sundays. We need to not only act like a Christian on Sunday mornings, but also in between Sundays.

**Our inspiration for the name of this blog came from the Karen Kingsbury book, Between Sundays. We strongly recommend this book. It's awesome!
