New Life!

So in only a few weeks I start my new life in Springfield. 

I'm really excited because I can live the life I've wanted to live for years! 

So much has changed just being out of high school a month. I feel like I have more control over who I talk to and the kind of people I surround myself with. 

There are so many new projects I'm starting to work on, and they'll be able to go into full blast once I move to Springfield.

There are some sad parts to moving away, mainly missing my family; my mom especially. No one has been there for me more and I'll miss seeing her face everyday. 

My room mate and I have started designing our room, I'll post photo's later. I really love the colour scheme we chose!

There's so much to talk about and not enough time, so I'll save the rest for another blog post :). 

God Bless,

Marissa 

Mon Dieu

Mon Dieu est plus grand que mes vouloirs. 

Mon Dieu est plus grand que ma vie. 

Mon Dieu est plus grand que le monde. 

I am taking my life back. Various ramblings aimed towards two different people.

First of all, it is mine's, always was mine's, and always will be mine's. 

Secondly, you are a liar. Truth always rises, just as Christ ascended to the heavens. Remember that. 

Thirdly, if God be for us, who then can be against us? 

Fourthly, charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 

Fifthly, I know I'm not perfect. But I'm no longer telling myself "maybe I'm not strong enough in Christ for you yet". I'm no David, but I've also loved God before I met you, while I loved you, after you left, and even now. What's more, is I have always loved Him more than you, and I always will. Incessantly, and that is why I am better. 

Sixthly, I do hope you realize I'm not going to lose. 

Seventhly, the purpose of a relationship, the purpose of all things is to glorify God, edify the church, and advance the kingdom of Christ.  You knew that. You still do.

Appreciation in the highest.

"Surely as the sun will rise, You will come to us;

 Surely as Your Word endures"

God, my portion is You, and I am so much more than blessed. 

Every unpleasant circumstance I've had to endure these past few months, my complaints have recently morphed into a thankful praise. 

They always should have been. Everything you allow me to go through, is for the good of my life and for the good of Your plan. 

Keep working through me always, I beg of You.

Stop

stressing me out.

There are angelic spirits living inside of me and it's a marvelous thing.

Fasting.

Multiple fasts until February 12th. Really excited to see how things are going to work out these next two weeks. 

After yesterday I've decided I have the BEST group of friends and I want to have a party with all of them soon. 

My heart will always be with everyone in the Western A/G Section forever. 

I decided after bible college I am coming back and doing work with youth ministries here, and I will just have to find a bible college around here to teach biblical studies at. 

Maybe Houghton College? or Elim Bible College? Who knows!

But I'm just glad to know my career is going to be here, for a while I didn't know if I was being called to Missouri FOREVER or not. 

Dieu Merci! Pour le sang de Christ!!!

Everything I do

Must be so light and spiritual

That it ascends to the heavens

So that it may touch God's heart 

So that he may be moved and pleased 

And cry His glory out upon the world.
