Livin' only by Grace

I just need to remember this verse ^^ Ephesians 2:19-21 (New International Version) 19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

And upon seeing the nurses.. . the patients.. .the doctors.. . the ER.. . wow.. . it's like there's this this is where i should be thought.. .There's excitement.. .there's joy =).. . and I'm glad He's the door..

And I'm glad He did ^^ Indeed He is the door and He is the way ^^ We need no worry about the future because He knows what's going on.. . He has a purpose why He brought me there and I'm just so thankful and grateful ^^ But I must make another step of faith.. . and I still thank Him for that! It's good to see the ER again ^^

Julianne [VERSE 1] I'm stronger than before Stronger than I'll ever be And I raise my eyes to the One The One who made me see All what I thought was lost But now is found And I'm grateful [VERSE 2] Grateful for the day You called my name Ever since You walked into the door It's never been the same Mornings are brighter now I'm not afraid And I wake up each day With a smile on my face [REFRAIN] Coz I've been in places Where I couldn't even see The light of day And then You came [CHORUS] I'm grateful You showed me the way back to my beautiful [VERSE 3] Everything seems different now Things are turned inside out With a new pair of senses to go with around It doesn't even matter If I'm up or down [VERSE 4] Blues are bluer Smiles are brighter It draws a tear whenever I watch the sunsets paint the sky I don't even mind walking under the rain I never laughed like this before And I'm gonna say it once more

I don't know what the title of this blog will be.. . so i'll just leave it like that.. . A friend once said that if you have a goal, all of your decisions must be inclined to that goal.. . but she said, that's just her own opinion.. . And I came to realize that she has a point indeed.. . If you want to be like this, why be like that, right? I'm turning 23 in a matter of days.. . and when I was younger, it's easy to say that I want to be like this, I want to have this and that.. . but when you're this old, it seems like it's not that easy at all.. . Yes, I have my own dreams.. . I have my own desires but I need to make wise decisions as well.. . I need wisdom.. . and after that, I need to do my part and take that step of faith towards my dream.. . but it's hard.. .if you don't know God, who can you turn to? whew.. . Good thing we can always trust Him and His Words.. . He said, For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm y...

My officemate and I were working on our bulletin board 2 hours before the shift ends last night.. . After sort of finishing it, it somehow dawned on me that I am no longer the person I used to be (artistic.. . talented.. .) it seemed like I lost a lot and became a nothing because I am (always) sitting in front of the computer.. . dialing.. . It showed me the things that I lack.. . and it made me think.. . Did He indeed abandon me? Of course not ! My God will never leave me nor forsake me! Every good thing comes from Him! There are times when the enemy will use our emotions (especially when we feel down) to make us quit, lose hope and forget our dreams.. . I was soooo down like I wanna cry.. . But these words (from my previous devotion ) perked me up.. . Have you listened to what God is saying to You? If He says, He will never leave you, never will He! Because of His grace, I found myself hanging on.. . Because of His grace, I'm still able to walk on.. . and tell the enemy, Jesus l...
