Made for More

"You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful! You're beautiful!
You are treasured you are sacred you are His!"
                            ~lyrics from Mercy Me's, Beautiful

This song fills me up. It reminds me. It frees me. I AM more than what is hurting me.



Remember..."You are treasured, you are sacred...You are HIS!"

When the above video finished the featured suggestion was a song by Tenth Avenue North called You Are More. They also sing a song called, By My Side that I just LOVE! Anyway, the song is beautiful and another reminder that that we all have worth and are made for something more than this life and what happens to us in it.



One of the comments on the song broke my heart and made me thankful that God has a plan for each of us; this girl's plan and purpose are still unfolding:

Thank you for making this Video! It Saved my life, I was going to kill myself, I went to church adn it was going to be my last time, My youth pastor showed this video and I walked out of the room, My youth pastor followed me and we talked about how I am more, it changed my mind! There are people out there everyday that are hurting and if you are one of them, you are not alone! God knows your heart he see who you are and better yet he forgives you no matter what! You are more then you past!

There is always hope. Believe that! See that you were made for more than this moment...this life! Seek your Father's arms and His love will fill you and keep you always. Reach out to those around you and be reminded of all you are and have to offer. There is so much to be said for human connection. The physical touch or knowing that someone "gets" you makes a difference. Never underestimate the small gestures, the opportunities to share your journey, your gifts, or to lend a hand to someone in need. It may be the one thing that makes all the difference to someone searching for a reason to keep moving forward.

Struggles

Struggles. We all have them. My (latest) favorite saying is, "We all have our things." And for me, my "thing" is wanting to eat to fill the emptiness inside. And not like carrots and apples and good for you stuff. Oh, No! The really bad for you stuff. I crave sugary treats. I have been doing so well with my eating lately and have been exercising for the last few weeks as well, but last night nearly took me down. I was struggling with wanting to run--not walk--into the kitchen and make myself a bowl of cereal with some Craisins or a fruit smoothie or a PB&J. I prayed instead. Almost to the point of tears, I begged God for this to pass. I ate some carrots. I drank some more water. I contemplated some tea. I got out my swiss ball and did some wall squats as I watched TV. I had already been out for a walk earlier with ML, too, but I felt like I was coming out of my skin. OBSESSING about eating something. It wasn't food that I wanted, though. I wanted to feed t...

Sometimes, Reality is Worse

What if I told you that Joseph/SAM was created to hurt me? Made up to be everything I'd ever want and more? What if I told you everything I believed and knew him to be was an enormous hoax? All because someone wanted to give me what she felt I had given her. All that she felt I had taken from her. I have to admit that while people have hurt me before with their actions and decisions it has been for their own personal and selfish reasons. Usually not with malicious intent.  There has to be a lot of pain and hurt within a person to invest so much into the creation of a fictional character. Someone who would really take the time to know me. Someone who would enlist others to make the ruse real. To call me on the phone, to send me cards from the web, to pick out a card and leave it at a bar where the bartender who gave it to me told me how cute my guy was, to create a Facebook account with pictures and friends, to bring an ex-wife into the mix, pictures from the desert and your trave...

Treat Him to Love

I read this article  posted by a friend. She asked what are the 20 things a woman should do for her man. My responses below were learned the hard way through my own 15 year marriage and the 9 years since I chose to divorce. They are not things I say lightly or for part-time living. They are for every day. Every. Day! Even when your man doesn't deserve it, hasn't earned it, give it to him. That is what unconditional love is. The most quoted verses at weddings is from 1 Corinthians 13. It speaks of God's love for us and is meant to teach us how to love like He does. That's what the marriage relationship is to emulate, God as Groom/Husband and us/the church as his Bride. 1. She speaks of him with deference in front of others including her girlfriends.  2.  She treats him with respect and lifts him up with her words, affirming his character.  3. She knows no one is perfect and gives him grace for those moments when he falls short for we all do.  4. She k...
