~*~beauty in itself~*~

Wow. I am so amazed and grateful.
The more I seek God, the more I find Him.
The
more I find Him, the more I love Him.
The
more I love Him, the more I can't get enough of Him.
He is AMAZING!
I've seen Him do so many little things since I've moved to Omaha. He's provided a close, great job (well actually 2), I'm trusting He will provide for Swazi this coming summer, I've come to learn more about Him, I feel His presence in my heart so often, I'm pretty sure I know where He is calling me to, and just wow!
Even my.creations, my small business, is picking up just from living with a bunch of girls in the dorm! Who ever thought this would happen. Now I've been offered an online instructor position for scrapbooking classes, in which I get to use my own ideas as well as make some profit off of that. My craft show is also coming up in November, which I'm not sure at all how many things I need to make for this show yet!! Who knows how much I'll sell. Oh God, I give this all to you, but I am not worrying about it.

I love lilies, as you see in the picture. For some reason they bring out the word "
beauty" to me. The remind me of Jesus, personally.

I've also been reading this new book called
"The Shack" by William P Young. Wow, I've never read such a book as this. There's a big tragedy, but this book is about how we connect personally with Jesus. It's already changed my view on the Trinity. God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus the Son are all equal. I dont know about you, but I've always pictured God the Father as the "boss" of the 3 in 1 gang, which is pretty easy to do. We look at a Father as being the head of everyone else in the family. It also talks about how we think this way because of our fallen world and sinful nature. Thats how our world is, but that isn't how God is. God is = to Jesus who is = to the Holy Spirit. 3 in 1 is the same thing. It's amazing. I'm learning how closely Jesus really wants to be and why God became a human form and why He decided to come to earth. Jesus is in a human form for a reason- he isn't human, he is God, but he came here for us so that he could relate to us in a different level than God the Father. I dont know about you, but I view God as a high authority figure, like a dad. Jesus- I view as a loving friend who really does want to just be a friend and guide us through each day. But I have learned that Jesus was brought to the earth so that we could learn in a more intimate passionate way because he was human like us, but more of a perfect, supernatural human.....if that makes sense? Are you following?

I will be talking more about this book in the future so stay posted. It's amazing and you can borrow it from me when I'm done- just ask!! I'd be happy to let you share this with me.
