A few words

2 Corinthians 12:9

Trying to be assured in this Truth...

"My Grace is sufficient for you!" it goes on... but this is the part that I'm meditating on for today.

"You are Special"

"You are Special" - By Max Lucado





"Every day I've been hoping you'd come, "Eli explained.


"I came because I met someone who had no marks," said Punchinello.


"I know. She told me about you."


"Why don't the stickers stay on her?"


The maker spoke softly.


"Because she has decided that what I think is more important than what they think. The stickers only stick if you let them."


"What?"


"The stickers only stick if they matter to you. The more you trust my love, the less you care about their stickers."


"I'm not sure I understand."


Eli smiled. "You will, but it will take time. You've got a lot of marks.


For now, just come to see me everyday and let me remind you how much I care."



Eli lifted Punchinello off the bench and set him on the ground.


"Remember,"


Eli said as the Wemmick walked out the door,


"you are speical because I made you. And I don't make mistakes."


Punchinello didn't stop, but in his heart he thought, I think he really means it.

just a little stressed

I can't believe I still have so much to do. What have I been doing lately? Why can't I focus? Why can't I just get things accomplished? To do: Tonight = write Poly Sci paper (7 pages), tomorrow= text set, study for POLS exam that is on Wednesday. I need determination. I need to get things done, and do them well. Get focused Victoria!

okay, I accept it

So yesterday i finally decided to embrace this journey... so here it goes... I will not plough through it. I do want to listen- to practice listening.

here i go...

"Everything You hold in Your Hand"

Chris Tomlin- Unfailing Love



You have my heart

and I am yours forever

You are my strength

God of Grace and power



And Everything you hold in your hand

Still you make time for me

I can't understand



Praise you God of earth and sky

How beautiful is your unfailing love

Unfailing love

And you never change God you remain

The Holy one and my unfialing love

Unfailing love



You are my rock

The one I hold on to

You are my song

And I sing for you



Everything you hold in your hand

Still you make time for me

I can't understand



Praise you God of earth and sky

How beatuiful is your unfailing love, unfailing love

And you never change, God you remain

The holy one, My unfailing love, Unfailing love"



It's so true. God holds everything in his hand. When so much is going on. When I have so many things to do- so many committments, and involvments, so much on my mind, so much to think about, to plan for, to fit into my schedule, so much information, almost overload- still God holds me in his hands. Still God protects me. Still He know my moments; my worries; my stresses and He cares about them too. 1 peter 5:7 "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he Cares about you."
