•Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know•

As I read Luke 2 which is Jesus' birth, whether you read it near Christmas time where He is the reason for the season, or in the middle of the year. 
   Luke 2:1-7says this "And it came to pass in those daysthat a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city,Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife,[a] who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
  For me this gets me all excited knowing that God sent his son to save the world through a Virgin Mary. That alone just says so much and just reading about his birth or any of his parables it's just so amazing to read of what Jesus did then and what he does today! 
  Reading about his healings get me so pumped to know How Great our God is! There is a song called How Great Thou Art and we just praise Jesus for who he is! It gives me goosebumps just singing the words "O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great Thou art.Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great Thou art!" 
  The the ending of the song really just gets me! "Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art.Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great thou art!" I just love how we can come to God and just Worship His holy name and just knowing that he is always there for you no matter what! I hope you all know that you are loved by God so much!

•Forever&Ever•

I was reading Revelation 4:8 " The four living creatures,each having six wings,were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night saying: Holy,holy,holy Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" I really love that verse it's saying so much about how God was and how he is and how He is to come. It makes me think of Kari Jobes song The Revelation Song and how in the song we are just worshipping His name, "Clothed in rainbows of living color, flashes of lightning rolls of thunder, blessing and honor strength and glory and power be to you the only wise King." That just gets me so excited and pumped for the things that God is doing in everyone's life! Especially mine, God has always been a huge part of my life but definitely in high school I've just wanted to grow even closer to Him! I love spending time with God and knowing that he has an amazing plan for me. Also knowing that he thinks I'm beautiful, and He thinks you're beautiful and/handsome. You are His Child, he loves you so much more than you'll ever know! And for those of you are reading this blog, know that God loves you so much and he has such a great plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11 really declares that he has a plan for everyone!
