Prayer Causes Things to Happen by John Piper

”

Make it a goal that when a guy looks at you, he will notice the light of Christ in your eyes, and the radiance of your smile, rather than being distorted by the outline of your body.

Yesterday
Is not quite what it could’ve been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today
With every breath I’m breathing in
I’ll be trying to make it so much more

Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what’s gone wrong
And the hope of a new day
Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)
And though I’m finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is
Where I’ll be

Cause I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up
Given up on what
I know I’m capable of
And I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
Cause I’m just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
A better version of me
For you

To be prosperous
Would not require much of me
You see contentment is the one thing
It entails
To be content with where I am
And getting where I need to be
I’m moving past the past
Where I have failed

But I’m finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
Right there at the end
Is where I’ll be
Oh

Cause I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up
Given up on what
What I’ve gained from love
And I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
Cause I’m just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
A better version of me
For you

You never cease
To supply me with
What I need
For a good life
So when I’m down
I’ll hold my head up high
Cause you’re the reason why

I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up
Given up on what
What I’ve gained from love
And I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
Cause I’m just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
(Trying to be a better version of me for you)
Oh

Someday my prince will come…

I know I don’t deserve him. But I have faith that God has someone out there that will fill the shoes of any prince in the movies. My life is not a movie. My best friends helped to pound that into my head not too long ago. I’m done expecting things in my life to turn out like the movies. Thats unrealistic. But I can’t wait for the day that God brings my “prince” into my life. To be my companion. To lift me up spiritually. But in the mean time (and forever) I have Jesus as my prince. My beautiful Prince of Peace. And He helps fill that void in my heart where I would love a man to be. Yes, I still long for a companion. But I don’t need one. I have Jesus. And God has blessed me with so much. 

“My name is Erica. I’m a beautiful, strong, amazing woman of God. I don’t need a boy/man to fulfill me. I have my faith and my friends; my brothers and sisters in Christ. God is my solid rock. My strong Anchor. I don’t need anyone except Him, but He has blessed me with so much more than that. ” -January 5, 2012

Unka Glen: Consumed by thoughts of the opposite sex

unkaglen:

notsuperman-walkalongsideme asked: Hey Unka Glen! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us! My problem is this: I know (in my head at least!) that now is not the time for me to be in a relationship. I still have a lot of growing in God to do before I’m ready for that. But, there’s this guy…

This reminds me of my dear friend, Will. The other night I drove him home and he told me I had to give him a hug before he would let me leave. So I got out of my car and I hugged him and the way he hugged me made my face feel smooshed lol. I asked him why he wanted to hug me and he told me he just wanted me to know that he loved me. Well I love you too, William! My brother from another mother :)
