Blossom Where You're Planted

Today I woke up and looked out the window, I have never done that before as soon as I woke up, but I thought it would help me wake up. Help my mind wonder at creation and get my engines running. Last night in Downline we learned about Joseph in Genesis and a man named Steve was teaching and he said Joseph was a prime example of faithfulness and that wherever he went the Lord was with him and he succeeded wherever he was. From slavery to prison to having the highest ranking position second to the Pharaoh. Then he encouraged us to blossom where we are planted. I felt like he was looking straight at me when he said it. I know that's what you want me to do Lord and I need you to help me enjoy here and now. Today is October 1, 2013 I have been in Memphis, TN almost 2 months now. The memory verse for this month is Matthew 28:16-20


           " Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus directed them. And when they saw him they worshipped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth have been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of age."

This is why my heart beats.

Lord during this time when I am confused and don't know how things are going to get done or paid for. Lord help me really believe that you are my father, you are my daddy and you care deeply for me. You care for me more than any person on earth could ever love me. Lord help me believe that! If you gave your son for me how will You not also with him graciously give me all things? Lord you never fail me, you never give up, you never run out on me.

If I am faithless, You remain faithful You cannot deny yourself.

Lord help me see you in all things, please change my heart for this time in my life. Lord change my heart to give my life away to sharing the gospel and making disciples and investing in women for your glory. Lord make that passion deeply burned in my heart for as long as I live on earth. Lord help me not try to be you Lord you are the one who saves not me. Lord help me throw my hands up and surrender this sweet young women to you. You love them more than I ever could. Lord you long to see them come to yourself more than I could ever imagine to.

Humble King
Lamb of God
I love the Holy lamb of God
Who washed me in His precious blood.
My Jesus Christ, The lamb of God.
I was so lost I should have died
but you have brought me by your side
and led me by your staff and rod
and made me a lamb of God.
Come all you weary and broken
come to the table of the Lord
Come lay your burden on the word
Everyone needs a little rest
Everyone needs a little joy
and a song to sing in the darkest nights
and Life even when it get you down
Hope will turn it all around
Love is the greatest of all
He will lift you up
and cover your soul with healing

Lord help them want you above all else, help me not care who pours into them as long as they are getting truth. Help me not be so selfish. Help me care about their souls more than my desire to be used.

Why are you still with me
Did you not see what I have done
In shame I want to run and hide
I don't deserve you
I need you to love me
I have wasted so much time
pushing you away from me
I just never saw how you
could cherish me
You're a God who has all things
and still you want me
and I need you to love me
and I wont keep my heart from you this time
and Ill stop this pretending
that I can somehow deserve something that I already have

You are good when there's nothing good in me
You are light when the darkness closes in
You are hope, you have covered all my sin
You are peace when my fear is crippling
You are joy, you' re the reason that I sing
You are life, in you death has lost it's sting

Daddy come back soon! Until them help me remember my purpose at all times. All I do I want to do for you. Help this be true change my heart Lord. Wherever I am, Wherever I am working Lord help your joy come through. Lord overwhelm me with your love and presence. Lord help me see you working at chic fila and on the basketball court just as much as I feel you at a bible study or church.

troubles chasing me again
God Im looking for you
fear is filling up my head
Im longing for you
But I will find you when Im at my end
when there is nothing else to offer you
except my brokenness
You lift me up
you never leave me thirsty
When I am weak
When I am lost and searching
I'll find you on my knees
Ill trust you
because you are faithful
When my heart is broken and
my joy is stolen
you never leave me searching

Lord save my fathers. I beg of you Lord save them from eternity without you. Please Lord. Save them redeem their pasts. Restore my family Lord. Lord I pray for my nieces Tiajah and Tekarrie and my nephews Zane and Elijah. Save them at a young age. Lord keep them. Lord let your word be on their heart forever. Lord help me and my sisters see that you are enough. Lord help up live for you. Help us love you with all of our heart, soul, and mind.

You never promised this life wouldn't be hard
Just have your way
You take broken things and turn them in to beautiful
Ill stop searching for the answers
Ill stop praying for an escape
Ill trust you God where I am
Even if my dreams have died
and even if I don't survive
Ill trust you with my life
Just have your way
I know you will
You love me
Have
Your
Way.

Lord I pray for my friends. Lord I pray that you would show us that you are enough that you can satisfy, that you can mend broken hearts. Lord that you can provide. That we don't have to take control of everything. You are with us every step of the way, you are not just waiting at the finish line.

Bless the Lord
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy Name
Sing like never before
I'll worship your Holy Name
The sun comes up its a new day dawning
Its time to sing your song again
whatever may pass
and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes.
You're rich in love
and your slow to anger
your name is great
and your heart is kind
for all your goodness
I will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find.

How Great Thou Art.
Amen.
