You are for me


this blog is inspired by the song "You are for me" by Kari Jobe
this song means more to me then just another song
what get's me the most and is a burden on my heart is people have no clue what they're singing anymore.
if they would only know the deepnis of the words they sing, 
lives would change every second, 
you can trade sorrow into joy, 
you would find rest by proclaiming He is Lord, 
sickness would be healed and He would calm your raiging sea and comfort you in His arms.
this is what keeps me going and what drives my worship
i close my eyes and proclaim that He is my refuge, 
my Rock when im exhausted, 
My hidingplace when i fear, 
my strenght when im weak, 
through the valley of death He is with me, my Healer when im sick,
 my Friend in lonelynes, 
He is for me not against me,
 He will never forsake and loves me through my faults

i cry over the fact that people take worship as just a routine thing in church but it's so much more!
it's speaking over your life that nothing can come against you because God is in you 
and when life does hold you down it's the one and only thing that can breake every chain!
it's when the holy spirit moves and does his work
it's when God pours out His love, reaches out his hands and to have the one on one time that He desperatly wants with His children. 
so don't take worship for granted, it's the most precious time you can spend with him!

we sing "i know that You are for me
You will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come now 
even if to wright upon my heart
to remind me who You are"
this means in everthing i do, You is for me.
when everything and everybody turns against me, You are still for me
when trouble times seems to hold life against me, You are for me
when my sin turns me against myself, You are for me
when im broken and crying out for you in my darkest hour, Your are for me
He will never leave us by ourselves
He will never turn His back against us
He will never forsake me when i fail in my weaknesess
he has come to be for me even if it's just to remind me
who He is and what He has promised us!

declare that He is always with you
declare that He is faithful
declare that because he is with you, i will not fear
declare that only His name brings miracles
declare that He is your provider, your Strongtower, your Shield, your Comfoter, 
your Happiness, your Hero and Savior, your King and Majesty, Your maker and healer,
declare that He is simply your Everthing!
and keep declaring this over and over again till you feel His power running through your body!
worship is drinking from the river of life, He is the Fountain of life
to soak in His presence is what keeps me alive!

alice in wonderland





i often wake up and find myself repeating the next:
"the Lord is my sheppard i shall not want"
"because You are with me i shall not fear"
this i keep repeating out loud till im calm again
it's because i often wake up with a heavy heart and a negative burden on my mind
and if i dont take the time to encourage myself with those scriptures then call me despressed
negative thoughts keep you at bottom, they crush you and kill all the good that is left inside
what is the point of loving someone when yourself is burned to ashes
when you have nothing to give and when you dont even know how to love anymore
i quitely assume that this has come to an end
i open my sad eyes wishing to go asleep and never wake up again
call me alice in wonderland
it's midnight and my eyes wonder off to the seeling
it's like my mind goes on lock
no dreams no sleep just laying here scared of all thoughts
some days i am closer to truth, some days it seems far far away
some days i think i understand, some days i am just so lost
thoughts of failure, self-worth, can I fix what is broken?
do i even know what is broken?
the heart is wound yet not healed and my aches not filled with care






a tear touches another tear and now my mind still not woke up
love that left in the middle of my journey
my feelings and emotions are in dilemma with a mind still restless
i look at things at my own way and have a hard time to see my own failures
you have to shook me up before i see
and the worst has come to happen before i plee guilty
even tho my intentions are pure doesnt mean i can do what ever i want
trying to reclaim what i lost
i open all my windows and let light shine through
now my mind set itself free

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil
for You are with me
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.
