my morning devotion.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Though the fig tree should not blossom,

nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fail

and the fields yield no food,

the flock be cut off from the fold

and there be no herd in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the LORD;

I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

GOD, the Lord, is my strength;

he makes my feet like the deer’s;

he makes me tread on my high places.

Though things may not go as we planned, rejoice in the Lord.

Though things may fail, rejoice in the Lord.

Through thick or thin, rejoice in the Lord.

Where in the world have I been.

I've been lazy to write ): And I guess I've kind of been writing more in tumblr. Sorrys! Anyways, lately I've been going back to this verse. Psalms 143:8.

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust.

Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

Why do I always end up going back to this verse? Because of God's grace and sovereignty. I need to be reminded that in order to be lead by Him, I need to trust in Him. And in order for me to trust Him, I need to be reminded of Him. Man, it's so hard to put all your faith in Him and to just let go and let God. Although, it isn't impossible. I will stumble sometimes, but by God's grace, He will bring me back up to trust in Him again. Thank God for such grace and unconditional love. Truly, if it wasn't for grace, I'd be dead.

TOTALLY BLESSED.

Today I went with Jordie and Elliser to jam with Ryan, the bass guitarist in enfield! Totally blessed with that jam session. Great music, great people, great lyrics, and a very GREAT God. Amazing. I learned a lot, especially with worship. Totally going to use what I learned to glorify God. What else would I use it for? The jam session went great and we even learned their new songs... Awwwwyeee. Overall, totally blessed by this trip to Santa Clarita.. And guess what? We visited TMC! Ryan gave us a little tour around TMC. Its small, but very peaceful. I barely saw any people there and it was so quiet! It was cool how it blended in with the neighborhood.... But it was awesome to see the school that I wanted to go to... but I praise God that I atleast saw what it looked like.

Then we also had praise team practice! Haaaay, I am very excited for tomorrow. YAY! Worshippin, worshippin, YEAH! (LOL)

Anyways, praise God!

To God be the glory great things he has done!

and here it goes again...

Sometimes, home isn't a home to me. sometimes, its the place i don't want to be at. I mean, i love my home, its just that sometimes, this place just keeps reminding me of my flaws and imperfections. Thank God for grace because if it wasn't for Jesus Christ, I would be dead. I wouldn't be able to go to heaven. I don't deserve it, yet its given to me.

want to know where my home is? with my Lord and Savior. That's right, in heaven. My home is this: Revelations 21:4

Thanks Tami for keeping me accountable! This reminder just encourages my soul and heart to continue to endure until the end of this race.

I'm not really good at writing, which may mean I'm not really good at blogging. I have really bad grammar and (well, its not horrible, but its not good) I don't know how to allure you with my writing; however, one thing is for sure, that God chose me despite of my imperfections.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. ²⁷But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; ²⁸God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, ²⁹so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. ³⁰And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, ³¹so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
