I have a God that loves me. A man that adores me. A great family and many friends. That's all a girl like me could ask for. - That and MUSIC ;)

Sad/Happy/*sigh*

Dropped off my boyfriend in a town near Houston where he is going to live for a year. He is interning with our old youth pastor (who is now a pastor of his own church). Which is AMAZING! He is going to get his credentials to be a youth pastor/pastor. He is going down there and going after his calling. He is stretching every part of him to become what GOD wants him to be. All happy stuff.

 But he's gonna be there for a year! I know that he will come and visit and I will FOR SURE be making visits down there as well, but it's not enough. This is the love of my life that I am talking about here. I need this man to be with me. It is such a great thing but I am so sad that he has to be gone so long. :( 

Anyways, I've cried. I'm good. haha.

So Difficult

                                                  Jesus Help Me! 

I hate when people that I love in my life move away.. Even if it only a few hours because I know nothing will be the same with them gone. I don't do very good with goodbyes either..  just break down at the thought of not having that person here where they are supposed to be. And I have to say that I am going through the very hardest time of my life and I will be going through it pretty much alone. I don't wanna be alone.. 

But, right now, this is the way that it has to be. So, I turn to God. He is the only one that can help me through this, I just don't know what else to do.. And it has been said that 'When we are on our knees, we can finally stand'. That is what I'm going for.. I  am definitely on my knees at this time of my life so I need God to raise me up as He always has..  

       You say: "I can't figure things out"           God says: I will direct your steps  (Proverbs 3:5-6 - Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.)

    You say: "I'm not able"      God says: I am able

(II Corinthians 9:8 - And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly  blessing] come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all  circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient.)

        You say: "I feel all alone"          God says: I will never leave you or forsake you  (Hebrews 13:5 - Your way of life should be free from the love of money, and  you should be content with what you have. After all, he has said, I will never  leave you or abandon you.)

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

[lookinghigher-blog]

Questionable People

Finally went and saw The Dark Knight Rises.

Despite all the craziness that has come with the opening of this movie, I went to see it in theaters. And I am so glad that I did. That movie was SO good. It was so worth it. There are some movies that you can see in the theater and think, 'That would have been just as good at home', but I was so glad I got to see this one in the theater.

But I do question what made that crazy guy act the way he did in Colorado?

What put him up to it? Why did he think that this was a good idea?? Was he just doing some practical joke that was only funny to him? Was he actually angry with someone in the theater? I just, I don't get it...

How can people act this way? How do people get this angry? I can't imagine not caring about a single person in a theater so much that it wouldn't bother me killing them!?! I just don't understand..

I cannot explain how amazing this is!(:

This picture has got me thinking.. We (humans) are so small.. We think ants are small but we are tiny in the eyes of the universe. I love to study on outerspace because we start to realize a little more of how much God really cares about us.. Us TINY things. 

Everything in my life is always me, me, me, I, I, I.. No longer. Little i; BIG GOD!!!

Life isn't about 'me'. Life is about Jesus Christ and all that He has done. His love astounds me. I look around me in this beautiful Texas city I live in, and I see His beautiful handiwork everywhere. You see it in the different stems decorations on leaves. It is visible in every sliver of grass that grows tall. He even thought to make BEAUTIFUL colors in our sky in early morning and late night just for our eyes to see.. But I think also, to show how deeply He cares.. He is thoughtful of everything. He wants us to enjoy life. He wants us to enjoy what He has created for us. That is one AMAZING thought!

I stand in awe of God tonight and His matchless wonders. WOW

Looking Up ... Looking HIGHER

    Always searching. Searching for what exactly? Searching for hope, love, acceptance, joy, completeness? Searching for mankind? Searching for God?

     Never will life become boring. Forever the search must continue. The search for where I fit. At a young age I found that God will fill all those places that I feel empty. For many years I was searching for where my place was. Searching for who would care. Who would stick by me. Who would love me. Soon enough I found who was there and who was not.

    But through it all, my God was there. My mom was always there although we have had many trying times (as do all mother/daughter relationships, am I right?). And my wonderful boyfriend Jesse. We have been together since we were both 15 years old. I have had people there. I have had people there for only a season.. It's just the way things go. It's why the world keeps on turning. 

    But I am on the search for higher and better things. God has called me from a young age into the ministry. These past 3 years I have had many eye opening experiences.. I have been in every facet of ministry that has been offered to me and I will never be the same. 

    Lives will be touched because God is moving! He is ready and I am ready to be used. So watch out world: Anna Rose - She's coming.. Just be watching!(: I'm looking higher!
