Dreams

I was in a really beautiful place, but it was also kind of intimidating.  I was with a group of people, and of course I was taking pictures.  There was a steep stairwell made of marble stone. It was magnificent, with a glittered charcoal swirl running through it.  It ventured up a steep mountainous hill or maybe it was a small mountain. At the top there was an entrance, you could sit & swing there at the top except of course you didn't really want to because of how high up you were. When you exited the swing on the opposite side there was a band, but not just a band maybe more like an orchestra or something.   The music that they played was beautiful, it drew you in & made you long to hear more, to be closer & even the animals there were dancing. I kept trying to get pictures of all the beautiful that surrounded me, especially the gorgeously painted dancing animals, but it seemed like every time I tried something or someone got in my way. I started to get really frustrated. I just needed to remember this amazing place, needed to capture all of these moments that were taking my breath away, but it seemed impossible. I almost fell down the marble stairs in my endless efforts of trying. 

Everything in this place made you want to be there & it didn't matter how high you had to climb it was worth it. The scary intimidation didn't hold you because everything was perfect and you knew if you pushed through you could be a part of that perfection...

A robot sort of perspective...

Some things are programmed into our minds; how we should feel is a big one (about ourselves, about others, about what to think & not to think, what to eat or not eat, what's "cool," what's "right," & etc.) On somedays it seems as if we have no choice, but thankfully we as Christians have solid truth on what we're supposed to think, feel & do... While I'm very much thankful I'm rooted in God's word & have a really great relationship with Him - I still have those days...

On some days I can't figure out what's wrong with me, why I'm feeling so worthless & disgusting.  Why I'm feeling like no one cares & that I don't matter... You get the picture...

I guess I'm kind of like a robot sometimes - I'm programmed a certain way, yes, but on some days I still malfunction & cause a short in my connection to my main programmer.

It's funny to me - Even though I may malfunction, I have this amazing genius, who's willing to take the necessary time needed to work out all the bugs... I have a lot of bugs & many a time where I seem to malfunction. 

So on some days - Yea, I may feel like a robot, but it's ok because even through my malfunctions I can still be worked on & changed- grown.

God is the coolest.

You let me go

You let me go
Beyond who I am

Taking pieces of me
Others refuse to see
You raise me up
You build me up
Help me do things
Normally out of reach

And almost always
There's nothing sweeter
To be free of who you were
To everyone else I'm just me
And to you I'm more than just
What the dull eye's see

You let me go
Beyond who I am

Breaking me down
But building me up
You're strengthening me
You're embracing me
And unlike everyone else
Who typically just walk away
You're always going the distance
Showing you're here to stay

And almost always
There's nothing sweeter
To be free of who you were
To everyone else I'm just me
Even to myself
But to you I'm more than just
What my dull eye's see

You let me go
Beyond who I am or who I was
Beyond who I think I want to be
Beyond what others think of me

You let me go....
Above
And
Beyond

Who is worthy of your heart?
What is worthy of your heart?

Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart above ALL else, for it determines the course of your life.

In a day & age where love is so desperately sought after, where sex/physical touch becomes the key or deciding factor to determine if somebody loves you, in a world where feelings and emotions determine what love means (as if!,) and in a life where we were actually created for the purpose of finding love. I'm curious, what is the real love we're supposed to be finding and who is truly worthy of our hearts? In a generation where so often people misplace their hearts, a generation where oft even Christians struggle with keeping their hearts in the right place, a time where anything goes, do what you please - I have to write ... We're too often getting it wrong.
God made us indeed, to find love, but that love is in Him. He created us to find the truth which is also in Him. He designed love to be more than just feelings and emotion. Our hearts are often misplaced & our feelings and emotion act as wrong directors that only seem to aid in that misplacement. Our hearts, above all else, belong to God. There is a very good reason for this. He doesn't just make up rules or ideas for no rhyme or reason, they serve such great purpose! If our hearts are in God's hands, they become guarded by the strongest guard of all! Him! They become protected & well taken care of. They're treasured & loved to the deepest, most sincere level of real love. They're taken seriously & they're held as if they're the most precious of glass. Our hearts were designed for Him. He is the One worthy of our hearts!

Now obviously God also created us for one another, man to woman. But He created you for Him first. So if you're doing it right & you give your heart to God first, then don't you believe that when the time is right that He'll take you to or bring that other person worthy of your heart into your life? Yes, He will. He has to have it first though & you have to give it to Him- whole heartedly!

I don't really know what prompted me to write this to be honest. I'm not sure it is well written either. I just know that giving God our hearts is the most important thing in life. This is the way we guard our hearts - by putting them in His hands, by trusting that He'll take care of them, by knowing that He'll guide you to the right places and spaces in life and lastly by realizing that this is all done in perfect timing.

We must stop putting our hearts in the wrong place. They belong in one place & one place only.

Thanks for taking the time to read. I hope that you take some time today to think about who or what may have your heart and if it's in the wrong place - I hope you start today by putting it in the right place!
