“That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation & desolation, A day of darkness & gloominess, A day of clouds & thick darkness, A day of trumpet & alarm against the fortified cities & against the high towers. I will bring distress upon men, & they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, & their flesh like refuse. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath; But the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy, For He will make speedy riddance of all those who dwell in the land.” - Zephaniah 1:15-18

WOAH. Someone shared this verse on facebook. This completely blew my mind away. God is always giving a message to us.

I will remember 9/11

I will remember that day. I will remember all the lives that were taken. I will remember the sorrow and pain. I will also remember the miracle that happened my my family and me on that day. My parents were supposed to go to a meeting at a building not too far away from the Twin Towers. I wasn’t in school that day. They were bringing me along. But my and parents and I ran late. We took a bus, then the subway train. When we arrived at Ground Zero, a janitor was cleaning up. Bars were sealed at the exit. “What happened?” My dad asked the janitor. “You don’t know? The Twin Towers fell because of a plane! So many people died!” The janitor cried. My parents were surprised and shocked with grief. I was five years old at the time. I had no idea what was going on. My parents and I traveled back to our NJ home. Once we got a picture on the news, everything made sense. We were all in shock. I cried because so many lives were taken away. I also cried, because my parents and I were still alive. God gave us a chance.

Sweeter Love by Rebecca Woodbury

Today, be patient, small heart of mine.

Look not about, but rest in a love divine.

Tomorrow, perhaps, God may choose to bring,

Another to love - this time an earthly thing.

But today, small heart, look quick away,

From meaningful glances and men just wanting to play.

Quiet the longings that spring from within,

And turn from the ache to find rest in Him.



Though sweet may be this song of love,

Let not a flirting eye distract you from above.

You, my heart, have already been claimed,

And Jesus has your Prince been named.



So today find joy in a love superb,

Gracious, compassionate, more than what’s deserved.

Give Jesus your wantings, give Him your needs,

For He will supply, if only we believe.




(Man, I totally needed this. <3 )
