ok this post is about two really different things that just so happen to have made an extremely really really big impact on my life and feel like i can finally share these with lots of people so here goes. so lots of people know that i have been through lots of stuff in the past years. i won't go into details cuz that's more than i want to do right now...... anyways....... so i've been through lots of stuff..... that was one falling experience for me..... falling because i fell away from lots of different things at that time..... to explain i will say..... it was hard.... to say the least..... but God and his various ways helped me through and picked me up........ the problem for a while was that i didn't know how to stand....... it seemed as though i had been flat on my face for so long that it was comfortable and i didn't want to do anything else..... it was sort of that poor pitiful me kinda thing...... i think that's where lots of people tend to get stuck sometimes...... you get to where you are comfortable in what spot... no matter how bad it is and you/ we just decide to stay there instead of deciding to get up and face the world......
now i have to use a little lesson that mr. jim taught on about the egyptians and the wilderness..... that's pretty much what this experience is...... that's what the egyptians did..... they wanted so bad to get out of egypt so so so bad..... then we they got out and realized that what they were going into was unknown and egypt was what they knew(no matter how bad it was) they wanted to go back....... it was like they were telling God we don't care what it's like on the other side...... we just want to be "safe"..... sometimes what people might think is "safe" is actually worse that what they could run into on a different path..... this is what we tend to do alot of the time..... we get start out in egypt and go to the wilderness, but once we get there we start to get scared because we don't know what's going to happen....... we can either choose to trust God that He will take care of us (side note: ummm why wouldn't He take care of exactly? i mean seeing as He's the one that created us in the first place....) we have to give everything up and follow Him..... let Him lead!!!!! if we(i) try to lead then i know i/we (mainly talking about myself at this point) will mess it up...... i figure ya know what i think that He knows a little better about what He's doing and what He wants me to do than i do...... so now i/we must decide what we are going to do.... i have finally decided myself that i don't like just sitting around in the wilderness and i don't want to go back to egypt so let me see where else could i go
hummmmmm let me think uh uh uh pick me pick me pick me
PICK ME PICK ME
ah yes you in the back there
WE COULD FOLLOW GOD THROUGH THE WILDERNESS AND THEN INTO THE PROMISE LAND!!!!!
congratulations of have one a silver plasma TV (not really i just wanted to put that in there hehehe)
so what are we going to do? are we going to stay in egypt or are we going to follow God into the wilderness and allow Him to take care of us and lead us through to the promised land? remember though that there will be stuggles along the way.... the wilderness is just that...... a wilderness..... there are dangers everywhere.... but once again we have to trust in God and know that He is going to lead us through....... we might even kinda go in circles every once in a while, but as long as we get back on track and follow God then i think that we will be ok..... it's when we turn tail and run back to egypt that we are in trouble
ok the second part of this post about I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP (BUT DO I REALLY WANT TO) is that I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE AND HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!
if ya don't know what i'm talking about then i will give you some hints......
1) He's really really BIG!!!
need another one????
ok
2)HE'S AWESOME
another one???
3)HE'S THE LOVER OF OUR SOULS
keep going????
4)MAKER AND FRIEND
more??? ok
5)CREATER OF EVERYTHING
one more????
6)MINE AND YOURS!!!!!!!
figured it out yet?????
if not here's one more hint (and my favorite)
HE HAS GRACE AND MERCY AND HE LOVES US SOOOOOOOO MUCH MUCH MORE THAN WE CAN EVERY COMPREHEND!!!!!!
so here it is I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS BIGGER THAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON THIS EARTH......... HE'S THE MOST AWESOMEST THING IN THE WORLD(OR IN HEAVEN) ........ HE LOVES ME AND YOU NO MATTER WHAT...... HE MADE ME (THAT'S ONE OF THE REALLY REALLY AWESOMEST THINGS...) PLUS HE MADE EVERYTHING ELSE TO........ LAST BUT NOT LEAST HE IS MINE AND I AM HIS.....
give up?????? i have fallen for the One and Only
there's a verse in the Bible (Song of Songs 6:3) it says I AM MY BELOVED'S AND HE IS MINE!!!! this is like one of the best verses in the world!! love it!!
so why the title i've fallen and i can't get up (or do i really want to) for this part? because that is what i have done...... i have fallen for my King....... i want to worship Him and love Him because he loves me so much and He is showing me this daily....... if anyone out there wants to fall in love again just remeber something..... first i have to take a little rabbit trail..... the ONETHING conference that we went to has a saying it goes ONETHING I DESIRE IS TO SIT AT THE FEET OF THE LORD ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE..... that's not exactly what it says but that's close enough..... anyways that is what you should remember....... the ONETHING that he desire of us is to love Him and to sit at His feet...... the question is Are we doing this and are we willing to do this????
so i guess that's all...
i'm leaving early wed. mornin so PLEASE be in prayer..... i don't have a computer to take and i don't know how much time i would have to get on it if i did so i won't be able to blog or anything but i will definitly try to write people.......
love ya all bunches and bunches!!!
me

Allison,
I'm so excited for you. This is going to be the greatest. It's already great, as shown by your writings and what's going on with you these past few months. I can't wait to hear more. Tyler
