I Was Shut Down

For 3 days my blog was shut down, I am not sure why but I sure was upset over it. I was so excited about the post that went up on Wednesday on Incourage, and then bloop, out of no where my blog disappeared. I am so relieved to find it back up and running again.
So... starting tomorrow I will begin journal on my blog once again... for now I wanted to just say, I am so glad to be back up and running.


Sincerely,
Angelina

God makes our dreams come true. My namesake Angelina Ann means "angelic messenger filled with grace". To write is the way in which I can share God's message of grace to the world. When God knit me together in my mother's womb He knit me with words to write for all to read. I am so blessed today to share some of the words in my heart that He inspired me to write for many eyes to see today. I hope you click the button up above and read... Blessings everyone!!!

I Write

I write today, this moment for the here and now. I also write so that I can look back and savor the moment. Each time that I compose my heart into words on paper, I am enabling myself to capture that memory, that thought, that feeling for all of eternity. To write is to establish a permanent mark, an everlasting record that can be stored away for future reference. You can read back what you wrote years from now and feel as though you are reliving the moment, and the feeling of the moment all over again. You can look back and see the transformation of your life taking shape. You can read the words along the journey of the metamorphose that is taking place within your life and remember each step that it took to get you to where you are today. As you read each word of what you felt and how your life has completely evolved you can feel a deeper sense of hope for the future that awaits you. As you discover with each paragraph you read what it took to get you where you are today, you are able to relive the emotion, reclaim the victories and revisit the memory of what you write. So today I write... so that tomorrow I can remember what God has done and will continue to do in my life. There is victory in writing.

"But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
Lord Byron

"Write from the soul, not from some notion what you think the marketplace wants. The market is fickle; the soul is eternal."
Jeffrey A. Carver

His Masterpiece

I have been discovering who I am... what I am made of and how I am well equipped to face life, every moment of life no matter what. That the past mistakes, heart aches and pains are gone. Life is constantly moving and evolving into something more beautiful then I could have ever hoped or dreamed.

Life is filled with ups and downs, lights and shadows. Life has a wave, a current and a balance. You are either up or down, in or out. I have had my share of all. I am discovering however, that no matter what view I see... He is there, gently leading and whole heartily navigating me through it all. It doesn't matter if I come undone in the process of the journey He has me on because, He is there picking up the pieces that fall away and adding new ones when needed.

He is there adding color to the gray areas. Painting with His hand steady, colorful brushstrokes of pure genius. The picture He is creating of my life is more vibrant then anything I could have imagined to create on my own. As I stand back to look upon the picture He is making, my breath is stolen from me, for He takes my breathe away. How could this ordinary girl become so extraordinary? Yet, His eyes see me completely different then I see myself. I see the ugly truth. He sees the beautiful, colorful work of art He has created me to be. I see in part, He sees in full.

He has been adjusting my eyes to see as He sees. Beholding His majesty and splendor as it transcends my life portrait. His beauty in my life fills the canvas of my heart and shines with every brush stroke of His hand upon my life. My portrait that He creates is the kind that will never fade, will get better and more valuable with time and age and will leave you longing to see more of His art work. It is filled with colors that I have never seen or known of before. I am His creation. His handiwork. What He creates is more beautiful then words can describe. I am His work of art on display for the whole world to see. How incredibly amazing He is... the artist of all creation is creating a masterpiece in me.

"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
Ephesians 2:10

Still No Words

Today I still have no words... well maybe one:




Thanks to God for always being there for me... and for this promise He says to me every day of my life:
