Come Away With Me

My Purpose Driven Life "Testimonial"

2013-01-19T12:41:00.001-08:00

This morning, I'm sipping some yummy coconut chocolate caramel cookie flavored coffee. I like my coffee to taste like pastries. :) Haha. Yep. It is noon here in Redding and the sun is shinning through my window! It is 61 degrees in January! That is crazy! I should be outside right now enjoying the sunshine and thats what I'm going to do today. But first I want to share a little testimony!
We recently had Jason Vallatton at school. Some of the questions he asked were; What are you good at? What are your long-term and short-term goals? How are you spending your time and are you using your time to master what your good at? Are you growing with the season your in? What are you doing today to benefit your tomorrow? This got me thinking. What am I good at, what are my long term goals, short term goals? Am I growing in this season right now? How am I managing my time? I realized I wasn't managing my time very well.
My cousin, Christa Vogie and I were inspired and excited to talk about Jason's message. It was when we were driving back to Redding from Sacramento, in the middle of the night that it hit us. We started to talk about all these things. We were getting so encouraged and getting complete breakthrough. As we wrote down what were good at, our long-term and short-term goals, we felt freedom, joy, and excitement! Excited about life even more than we were! Living with purpose everyday!
It's so crazy because I had been talking to the Lord about my dreams and visions that He's showed me and given me. I can see clips of things that I want to happen and I can see myself there but I didn't know how to get there. I was allowing myself to worry about tomorrow and not doing what I could today.

^"34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

I realized that just visualizing and dreaming is not enough. But co-laboring with Holy Spirit on what your good at, practicing, putting time into it, and taking advantage of the opportunities that benefit your short and long-term goals! I got so motivated and seriously felt breakthrough just writing these things down! Like, I could see what I need to do right now to get where I want to be. Take full advantage of everyday! Live in the now and not just the future. I mean seriously it was like I was being sedated.. Just living everyday kinda to get through it, just feeling kinda stuck. But I wasn't living everyday to the fullest and thats what I want to do! :)
Start today. Do what you can today and don't wait until tomorrow. Living life with Jesus is so fun!!! And FULFILLING!
I want to encourage you to think about and write down what your good at, long-term, and short-term goals if you haven't already and see what breakthrough you get! :) Reply back your testimonies! Wahoo! Lets live everyday with purpose! :)

My cousin and I decided to get crafty, feel free to do the same and post your boards!!! (Hang it up where you see it EVERYDAY!!) :)
Here are my strengths and goals!

LOVE YOU GUYS! <3
Living life with purpose everyday!

BIG UPDATE! :)

2013-01-18T20:44:00.001-08:00

OKAY- family, friends, brothers, and sisters! :) "haha." Here's a little update... Well, a BIG update! I am back in Redding, CA. The moment I got back I could feel the change in the atmosphere, The presence of God is so strong in this city, the supernatural realm is stirring the atmosphere whether people are conscious of it or not. HA. WOW. Heaven is invading Earth everywhere and I want to grab onto it a pull it down! :) As soon as I got back I was flooded with peace and felt like I was home. Which is a lot different from the feeling I had before Christmas break. I came back different. Glory to glory!
Over Christmas break I experienced a lot of breakthrough and freedom from relationships and received a lot of clarity inside me. I knew I was suppose to be here. It's an amazing feeling knowing you're exactly where God wants you to be at the exact time you're suppose to be there! I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to be doing Second Year here at BSSM, (Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry).
This week we had the Randy Clark Healing Conference. He has a huge healing ministry and impartation. At one point he called everyone who felt called to full time Missions to come to the stage out of 2500 people.. I knew that I was one of them. I got prayed for by Him and got impartation. I've had all these different worries and thoughts about going into missions.. Going back and forth in my mind about if thats really what I'm called to or not. After getting up off the stage an hour and half later, The presence of God was so thick and heavy. As I laid there I was flooded with His peace and all my worries disappeared.
I came to Bethel knowing that some point I wanted to go to Peru because I believe God is going to start my ministry there. But since I've been here God has been showing me that He is My Daddy and He takes care of me; teaching me to be completely dependent on Him. He has also just been birthing expectancy inside me. Expect BIGGER. Expect BETTER. Expect MORE. Expect MIRACULOUS. Expect SUPERNATURAL. Expect HEALING. Expect VICTORY. Just be hungry and know that I AM GOD. He always surpasses our thoughts, more then we could imagine! Which is a crazy thought! haha.
Since, I've been here I've been having dreams and visions of children in many different countries including; Peru, India, Africa, and Asia. My heart to be a momma has grown tremendously to the point where I would cry and ask people if this was normal for a 19yr old lol!! I realize Yes, I want my own kids but even more then that is that my heart aches to hold, love, and play with forgotten kids of the world. My heart longs for them to show them the love of the Father. To break off chains and bondage and lies. And to release joy, love, and peace. Daddy God has been growing my heart to be a guardian of Children. Actually.. I was born to be a guardian of children. haha. Wow. THATS COOL!
I don't know what all this entails. But this is what is happening in my heart right now. I have many dreams. I see many things. This is the first time I've shared this and I would love to have you all praying for me! I'm going to need the support of ALL OF YOU!! :)

Luke 4:18-19 says,
18“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

This is the great commission! What great news!! To love God, to love yourself, to love others. (Because you cant love others without knowing the love of God and through knowing the love of God you love yourself, which empowers you to love others with that unfailing love of Jesus that overflows out of you!) No matter what we do, where we go, we are overcomers, VICTORS through Jesus! Knowing Him, Loving Him... AH. :) He is so faithful. He is so worthy. He is so beautiful.
WAHOOO!!! LETS GO JESUS!!!

Love you all so much! ♥

"Journey of a Thousand Miles"

EXCITING NEWS-I've been writing and composing music for my first album, "Journey of a Thousand Miles" Here is a sneak peak of my newest song! :) I hope you ENJOY!!!

Wake Up Darling

Heaven Holds Me "A testimony of financial breakthrough and Daddy Gods love for His children"

2012-10-12T15:38:00.002-07:00

Play While you read this song will move you... It is my song right now. :)

Moving to Redding, CA has been the biggest adventure of my life so far. I am going to spend sometime sharing my testimony. Sharing with all of you what this experience has been like is going to be huge... Because God is moving so incredibly in my life right now.
When I moved to Redding I had $300 dollars in my bank account and $3400 still due on my School Tuition. I felt the Lord say move anyway, take this leap of faith I am telling you to move and trust me. And so I said yes. Leaving everything I've ever known behind me I listened to His voice and moved. I had already paid my deposit in a wonderful apartment with three wonderful girls who I've gotten to know and love. When I arrived in Redding I had a lot of time adapting to my new environment and getting to know my classmates. With full intention to move a month early to get a job once I arrived I felt the Lord say not right now. That this was a time to rest in His arms. That He was holding me and that He was going to take care of me.
A week or two before school started God told me to start painting. I told Him that if He really wanted me too that He was going to have to supply all the supplies that I would need. The next day I told my friend and when I came back to my seat from worship there were three canvases sitting there. The next night someone came up to me and asked if I was one of the painters on stage during worship, HA. Within the week paints and brushes were given to me. Through this small testimony the truth of His words stand strong in my heart. "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 Which is an example of what was to come.
I began to run out of money. When I needed money for groceries and gas someone would give me money. I never went in need. God has been showing me that He is my father. When I got saved October 31st of 2010 I had a love encounter with Jesus. I got to know Him as my lover and my best friend. When I moved here He began telling me that in this season I was going to be getting to know my Father, Daddy God. This was different for me because I started realizing that I didn't know Him as papa. He is holding me in His hands. Hes got me.
Last week we started a new school week about the Father. I realized I was actually afraid of God. This was a big reality check for me. I never thought about how Jesus came to show the Fathers love for me. My whole perception on who God was was screwed up. I had a super great relationship with Jesus and Holy Spirit but I never connected to the father. As I realized this I just started talking to Him. I made myself call Him daddy until I really felt like He was my daddy. And through this crazy season of financial need He constantly told me He was taking care of me and telling me that He was holding me and that He would provide. He is teaching me to be COMPLETELY dependent upon Him.

Going back to the first day, registration day. With $3400 still due for my tuition and $1200 needed to actually go to school. I had nothing. But my friends and classmates came together and sat me down the night before and proceeded to tell me that they felt that God was telling them to help me with tuition. I began to cry because I've only known these people for a few weeks, these were my classmates and they want to come together and give me more then $2000 dollars...? On registration day I waited for the money to arrive and with my friends we paid almost all my tuition off. I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND BSSM. Everyday I am so thankful. God provided. I was suppose to be here. :)

As the weeks went by I ran out of money. And one Sunday night I gave the rest of my money in the offering. And said, "God I give it all to you I know your taking care of me." The next week I was in need of my rent, $250. That night my friend gave me $10. I took that ten dollars and I opened the bible and put it in the book of Matthew in the story about Jesus multiplying the loaves and the fish. And I prayed with all the faith I had that He would multiple this ten dollars. I opened it about an hour later expecting money to just pour out. Nothing. I closed it back up and prayed again. "God I know that you can multiple this money!" Opened it again and again and again. Every time believing He could do it. The week flew by and the money didn't come in. I remember asking Him one day, "Jesus I want to be able to give people money, I want to be a blessing I want to love others and be able to do what others have done for me."

I was praying and felt like the Lord told me to sell my precious little red Toyota. I said okay Jesus. Posted it on our school FB page and in less then 24 hrs I sold it to two students who had been praying for a Toyota. :) They were so blessed and so was I! Two days after it sold I realized the rest of my tuition was due soon. I still owed $835 and now had money to pay it off. In the process I realized I needed to move out of my apartment and I moved into my friends house. This was a hard decision but one I had to make. I felt like I was floating and I didn't feel comfortable. It was transition for this new season.
Well, There was a mix up with the new house I was living with and one morning I woke up to the news that I wasn't able to stay there yet. One of the roommates was gone in the decision making and they needed to have time to talk about me living there. I now had no permanent place to stay. That morning was a hard one and the peace I felt was pulled out from underneath me like a rug. As the two girls came to hug me I cried out to the Lord and He comforted me. "I am taking care of you." Okay Daddy, I replied. My friend made arrangements for me to stay with her spiritual parents for a week while we figured things out.

That Monday I went to school and was in this funk and couldn't get out of it. I was just frustrated with my situation. I couldn't understand how my heart had so much peace but my head was trying to tell my heart that it should feel nervous about the situation I was in. I went to my last class of the day which is revival group. My revival group is filled with about 60 students and we are like a family and then we have a revival pastor and interns there for us. Well while we are sitting there about to begin I just close my eyes to get away from the noise around me. I was frustrated and didn't want to be there. I asked Jesus to take me away. And I had a vision.

My vision:

I walked into a palace. A golden palace. I looked and the walls which were carved of flowers and trees with pillars. And I looked at the floor which has diamond shaped golden carvings with about 3 inch whole gems outlining each like a tile flour. It was majestic. I realized I was in the thrown room. I crawled up to the thrown crying out to the Lord. And I saw the feet of Jesus walk up to where I bowed my head. I began to kiss His feet and cry out for Him in need. And He came down to my level and held me and He handed me a Huge deep purple jewel and I asked, "what is this?" He said, "What you came for."

And as my vision faded out I heard my revival pastor say, "Anyone who needs financial breakthrough stand up." Well, the presence of God was so thick and Heavy I could not stand. My friends placed there hands on me and began to pray. I awoke from my state and people started to give financial testimonies. I didnt feel worthy of telling mine because of my present situation and then I couldve hit myself because The Lord had provided miraculously how could I not share? Well, my revival group pastor said just one more. And it wasn't me. My heart began to rush the Holy Spirit was gonna have me spill what I was going through whether I did or not. I was about to burst. So I asked my revival group pastor if I could speak and I began to tell what I've told you in this blog and I began to weep. I closed my eyes with my hands on my lap and my head bowed I cried... And as I cried I felt wods of money begin to fill up my lap... My family began to sow into my need and into the kingdom giving their money and laying it at my feet and on my lap. person after person... Believe it or not I began to cry even more... in AWE...

My revival group pastor counted the money for me and I heard Him say it was about $400. He placed the money back onto my hands and waited a second and then said He needed to recount it.. It came out to me $711. Seven Hundred and Eleven dollars....

In the Hebrew, 7 is shevah. It is from the root savah, to be full or satisfied, have enough of. Hence the meaning of the word "seven" is dominated by this root, for on the seventh day God rested from the work of Creation. It was full and complete, and good and perfect. Nothing could be added to it or taken from it without marring it. Hence the wordShavath, to cease, desist, rest, and Shabbath, Sabbath, or day of rest. The number 11 represents, "transition."

In other words this day was BREAKTHROUGH for a NEW SEASON!!! :)

When I think back to the night before God told me to give a chunk of money to another student for her tuition. After selling my transportation and has a few hundred left after paying my tuition. And I'm not sharing this to boast but to give testimony to when you listen to Holy Spirit and move when He tells you too and to give even when you think you don't have the money, He will bless you. I was so excited when He told me to do this! I got to give to someone how someone gave to me for my tuition!!! I knew that I had the richest DADDY!!! And there is no bottom to my bank account because my richest are stored in HEAVEN!!! My money is not my own... Hahaha this is so great.... :) God will always fill your tank back up to overflowing... And look how He did!!! :)

As if this wasn't enough.. Because God goes above and BEYOND all your needs and expectations! Someone sent me a message and they are providing me with finances for my living expenses (Wherever I end up living" for the remainder of the school year... They are paying for me to have a roof over my head while I attend school... As I type this I just weep and my heart just cries out because I am so thankful.... I am being taken care of...

AND I sold my car officially yesterday and one of my close friends gave me her bike... GAVE me her bike... The generosity and the love that drives these people is straight from Jesus.. I AM SO GRATEFUL...

Daddy God will always take care of you. Man.. This journey has definitely been WILD... But its been so GREAT and so so so FULL of HIM!!! He is teaching me to be completely Dependent on Him. Following Him with all my heart. Falling more and more in love with Him so that I can LOVE OTHERS.... Its all about His LOVE!!!!!!

This is only the beginning... The journey has just begun. This is the training field the preparation for my whole life.. For what I am called to do.

Daddy God loves you so much. :) He loves to love us. He makes the impossible POSSIBLE. He sees when you sacrifice your world for His.. When you love Him. He sees you and you move Him. :)

MY TESTIMONY IS YOUR PROPHECY.
IF YOUR IN NEED OF A FINANCIAL MIRACLE, I RELEASE BREAKTHROUGH OVER YOU IN JESUS NAME!
AMEN.

Blessings Overflowing,

Hillary

Here I am Jesus

2012-08-27T19:16:00.002-07:00

Here I am settled in Redding, CA, after driving 2,190 miles with my mom and my sister, Zoe. It was a long trip but it was a trip to remember. With a speed bump in the road we finally made it. Gods hand of protection and favor were definitely on us. We made it in 3 days...

In this car...

Here I am sitting in a Starbucks not even a mile from my new apartment. Here I am ready to attend my new school; Bethels School of Supernatural Ministry. Here I am sitting in a new place, climate, and atmosphere. Here I am ready and expecting for a year of preparation and growth. Here I am ready to be used and to receive. "Here I am God send me."
I arrived in Redding on the 15th. since I arrived many miraculous things have happened here. I met my roommate, Elisa Woods.

She is such a sweet girl. We get along so well and God is definitely forming a friendship that will last for eternity. God is really showing up here. And working in our hearts. I know that this is His divine plan.

Over the last 12 days God has showed up to EXTREMELY, I have never felt His presence so tangible, constant, or as heavy as I have since I've arrived here in Redding. I know that without a doubt I heard the voice of Lord when He told me to come to Bethel. The Friday of the 17th, we went to our first service. During the service Gods presence was so thick and there was 161 miraculous healings! Instead of an altar call the pastor named off things such as little as, if you have ringing in your left ear or as big as if you had any artificial thing in your body. As different symptoms, diseases, and physical disabilities were mentioned, tons of people stood all around the sanctuary. And the pastor told people to lay hands on them and pray. Simple and sweet. Pray and believe that God is who He says He is! He is our HEALER and His promises are TRUE!

I have had many encounters with God on a daily basis I feel His presence so heavy on me. I have made so many friends and we have just developed this family here. Being together and getting to know each other, having family dinners,

(Our family has doubled since this picture....)

I've also gone to a place called Whiskeytown in the mountains where there is a lake. I played volley ball on the mountains. :)

BEAUTIFUL!! Right?!?!

God is so beautiful... Wow. He is doing beautiful things. Saturday night we had a first year get together at Whiskey town. After a long day playing and swimming, we went back to a house to have dinner and worship. Before we knew it there was over 40 people together in the living room. A microphone and speakers, guitars, piano, and other instruments were gathered and set up we all entered in to pray and to worship it ended up being four hrs. With people that were here in Redding to follow the call and the destiny that is printed on their DNA. We gathered in one place with one heart, for Jesus. And the presence of God RAINED down. People were around the table, couches, in the kitchen, the entry way, hallway, and behind lampshades.

One of the coolest God experiences I've had yet.

God is moving in my heart and doing amazing things. I know that this year beholds something huge... And I made it. I am here. Right where I am suppose to be at the exact time I am suppose to be. There is something about being in line with the call that was imprinted on my soul when God created me.... I feel Jesus everywhere I go... Even here as I sit in Starbucks. I feel Him.

Here I am Jesus.

Todd, Joseph, Cynthia, Kenyon, and I.

Cynthia, Elisa, and I.

Our first family dinner :)

Girls Night:)

Kimberly, Elisa, Cynthia, and Laura!

I've also recently auditioned for the first year worship team. So, blessed to have met and befriended, Kenyon Reed, who helped me with my video audition. :)

Here it is. :)

Last but not least. I have a prayer request. On September 11th I will be starting school. I can only start if I turn in $2200 of my tuition. In total I need $3400 for my tuition for first year at BSSM. I am in need of prayer and finances. I know this is where I am suppose to be. And I know that Gods promises are true! And He is my Provider! Is its His will its His bill! :) DO your best and He will do the rest!

" is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)

Will you stand in hope and faith with me that the finances I need to attend BSSM will miraculous be provided!? If you feel it in your hearts that you would like to partner with me in prayer and/or finances you would be such a blessing that will touch more then just my life.

If you would like to support me monthly or as a one time donation you can do one of two things:

1.) Click the heading, "Giving is Receiving," and you can donate online straight to my BSSM account.

2.) You can send a check to my parents who will put it into my account. You can send it to the address below:

Thank you so much for your time and your love! I am sending you a big HUG and much love in return!! I can't express how thankful I am for you and for everything God is doing in my heart and my life!

I pray that God blesses you so abundantly! That His love becomes more real and more precious and more tangible everyday. That in everything Gods glory would be known and seen through you! You are a World Changer! Thank you Jesus for your love and your presence! We love you Lord and our hope is in You!

In Jesus name, Amen!

Blessings,

ROMANS 12:12

2012-08-07T08:37:00.003-07:00

I am alive. Right now I am in the transition stage. I am transitioning between two homes, two states, two churches, two different sides of America. Right now everything seems to stand still but as I look around me I see everything and everyone flying by. Time is just something we can't hold on too, but we can choose to use it wisely. But right now, it feels like time is just escaping through my fingers before I have time to hold on.
In five days I will be leaving my family, my friends, my church, and my home. Things have been tough lately. I've worked a lot. Saved a lot. But not enough. I know that this is God's will for me. "If its God's will it's His bill" haha Man, I love the Lord because when things seem so impossible he comes in and "WOWS" you! He just hasn't done it yet. And with a deadline for tuition coming up it starts to make my flesh nervous. But my spirit knows. He has done it before. He will do it again. This is His will. And he knows what I need. HE IS FAITHFUL TILL THE END! So, even with the fears that come with transitions. I stand firm on His promises in hope because He loves me.

"Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble & never stop praying." Romans 12:12

When it seems impossible... He's got it. He has you. He's got your back. (your front and every part of you.)

So PRAY.

Dear Jesus,
Thank you that your love surpasses every fear that tries to invade my thoughts. Thank you that you give me hope because you love me and you want the best for me. Thank you that when things look impossible you hold me in the palm of your hand. Thank you for your patience through times of trouble. And thank you Jesus for listening to my prayers. Thank you for holding me tight. Thank you for saving me. Thank you that You are enough for me Lord. Let your will be done in my life; let my thoughts and plans disappear. I trust You.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Journal Entry May 21, 2012

2012-06-06T12:24:00.002-07:00

JOURNAL ENTRY MAY 21, 2012

Tonight, I was working and there are two regulars that come in all the time; both named Jim. It was a normal closing night and I began to sweep around the tables. I was sweeping when one of the Jim's asked me a question; "You're not still in high school are you?" he said. I replied with a yes I am and I'm graduating in two weeks. I began to tell them that I was moving to Redding, CA, to go to BSSM. And they asked, "for what reasons?" I replied, that I was going to be a worship leader and a missionary, starting next year in Peru. This statement shocked them and they began to ask more questions. There were 3 questions/statements that really stuck out to me.

1.) "Why don't you just minister here in America?"

-My reply, "Because God called me out of America."

2.) "Well, a lot of churches already fund missionaries regularly, so, a lot of their budgets are already in use; what will you do then?"

-My reply, "God is my provider; I'm not worried about finances."

3.) "It's going to be hard to find a husband in that sort of carrier."

-My reply, "Right, my love story is going to be an amazing story because my husband is going to have to have the same calling, and God told me He was preparing him and someday I will have a spectacular love story; the one I asked Jesus for. It will be miraculous." :)

I love you Jesus and I trust you with my life, my steps, and ALL that I am.

Here I am God send me...

11:50 P.M.

TODAY....

I look back and read this. I realize that this wasn't really about convincing the "Jims" but it was a realization for me and my heart. It's when I looked back and replayed this scene in my head after work, that I realized it was for me. Those replies were from my heart. And even when I think I'm not putting my whole trust in Jesus. That night I realized that my heart does.

Jesus you're where my heart is. <3

Change

2012-05-15T08:07:00.002-07:00

Change is gonna come. I sit here in the high school I've been attending for four years. With only two weeks left of my high school career I sit and look back. How different things are; how different I am. I wish I had a recording/interview to see the transformation each year. Crazy. You really grow up a lot in the four years your in high school. I'm so thankful I surrendered to my Heavenly Father, I'm so thankful he did not give up on me.. I feel a cool breeze blow through the windows. I take a deep breath of fresh air, it smells good, but something's missing. I miss Peru, my family in Peru, and even the smell. I often say dream of walking on the brown clay ground as I walk through the halls at school, my walk to my car. When I drive down the beautiful long road home I imagine many things; I try to imagine what my life will look like in California or the next year. What it will be like living with three other girls I don't know yet. Where will I get a job. What will it look like. What will I be doing. How much will I miss my family and friends here in MI an IN. How far away from home will I feel. What will the air smell like there? What will my life look like in 6 months? What will my heart look like, at like? What will Jesus and my relationship be like. What will my life look like in a year? How will i raise the money to go to shool and then move to Peru? Is this crazy? Will i feel alone there? What will i be doing in Peru? CAN I DO THIS JESUS? As I write this Jesus comforted me reassuring me and my heart, "you can do all things through Me i will give you My strength." All I know is that I want to keep moving FOrEWarD; never stagnant. I want more and more of Jesus. And above all the questions I have about what's next the fact is I have the only answer I need to take the next step and that is that Jesus is calling my heart, "follow me." and more then anything I want to follow Him an fall more and more in love with Him everyday.

Footsteps

2012-02-17T09:07:00.001-08:00

Today, February 15th, 2012, is a day like no other. As, I sit on this cold hard metal chair my feet rest against the frigid faded tile. I sit here in wonder; how many steps my feet have stepped. I think about the places they've engraved with their presence. And I think about how extraordinary it would be to see my foot steps from a different perspective. Like a movie with just feet stepping on different grounds. Then, I think about Jesus, His foot-steps. But then again, I don't need to because his footsteps are engraved into my spirit. The song, "Where You go I go," by Jesus Culture, pops in my head. Hmm... Where You go, God, I will go. I will follow your footsteps Jesus.

I wonder about Gods perception. I always think about Heaven above; above us. "And God looks dow from Heaven above." Does that mean he stares at the tops of our heads all day...? It can't be. I wonder, He's gotta have 360 view of us; each one of us. And how amazing is that? Kind of mind blowing. I wonder what your brain does when you take a step? What's the process? I believe your brain has to tell your leg to move.What what tells your brain exactly?

Your spirit?

Mind boggling.

I just read a devotion for today. These were the scriptures;

Ephesians 1:11-19

It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free — signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life.

That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn’t stop thanking God for you — every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask — ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory — to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him — endless energy, boundless strength!

I love the word of God.
