Do not remember the sins of my youth
or my acts of rebellion;
in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me
because of Your goodness, LORD.
The LORD is good and upright;
therefore He shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them His way.
Wow. So eye opening and spot on. Definitely take the time to read this.
This is so right on. Women should read this too because we need to understand this, so we won’t harshly criticize or judge, but instead be motivated by God’s love to intercede for the men in our life / generation.

After a rough day I am able to say it is well because of His promises. Psalm 73:24-26 (Taken with instagram)
The last few hours have been rough; scratch that, the past two days (probably longer). But just like when the Egyptians were in pursuit of the Israelites, the Israelites cried out to the Lord and complained to Moses, asking him why he had led them out of Egypt: “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you took us to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Isn’t this what we told you in Egypt: Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” Exodus 14:11-12
School ended for me this past Wednesday. One would think I would feel instant relief, joy even, from completing the hardest semester of my life (school-wise). I told countless people that once this semester was over, I would dance for a straight five hours. The end was approaching, and I had an inkling that I would feel no satisfaction from the completion. I was right; I did not even feel for a split-second fleeting happiness. Perhaps like the Egyptians I have told God to leave me alone in certain areas, not offering my whole life which isn’t even mine to begin with. The crucifixion did not occur so that the cross would only cut on certain areas of my life, leaving other parts alone. Plus, I have to ask myself, how will I be cut on if I do not offer my ear to the Lord’s words or I do not eat from the bread of life daily? It is not possible. My hunger will not be satisfied if I do not eat. It is as simple as that with the Lord.
But Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and see the LORD’s salvation He will provide for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you must be quiet.” Exodus 14:13-14
As Moses said, I need to stand firm, trusting he will provide for me. The Lord is bringing me out of captivity, leading me away from the Egyptians. Whatever captivity that may be, he is beginning to reveal to me. He is fighting for me. I have been crying on and off since Friday evening and I have not really been able to control it. I even cried about a dog I didn’t even know - which is slightly off topic and a bit embarrassing.
Anyways, He has heard me and I have full faith in Him that He will reveal the things in my heart that have been hidden from me; the things that I have not bothered to look for or at. I know he is leading me into cutting and to die more than I ever have to myself. Pray for me if you read this, for this is my Exodus.
Jesus is at it again.

This is the panda that I met yesterday at the Atlanta Zoo. He kept purposely falling and it was so cute. You should definitely watch it.
