Her name is Fred...

There is this girl that was born 13 months before me. Brown eyed and kinda shy, but spunky, she was God's blessing to me. As time has gone on we have gone from playmate to confidante, from relation to friend. She makes me laugh and smile like no one else can. She has a relationship with her heavenly Father that has made her into a woman after His heart. She walks with me down this road of life even though many miles seperate us. She encourages me to settle for best above good. She has a passion to pursue God's call on her life. Yes, human she may be, but the power of God has 'been her strength in her weakness' and it has made her into the woman of God she is today. She has been an inspiration to me and I will always cherish those memories. She is...my sister. <3 I love you, Fred. (Hehe! We even have nickames for each other...yep, you will never believe what she calls me! I'm George. It's true. It's just another one of those 'sister things' :)

I'm back ;)

Wow! I can't believe that it has been such a long while since I updated this! Well, I no longer have a Facebook and life is still as busy as ever but my motto is 'You have time for what you make time for.' Kinda simple...but the key to the existence (or lack thereof) of many things in people's lives. All that to say that I am going to keep this updated and I have new posts to share about the amazing work of God in this girls life. Stay tuned for more :P

'In the presence of your King....

....bow the knee.'

'There are moments on our journey following the Lord, when God illumines every step we take. There are times when circumstances make perect sense to us, as we try to understand each move He makes. When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers to turn to Him.

Bow the knee. Trust the heart of your Father, when the answer goes beyond what you can see. Bow the knee. Lift your eyes towards heaven and believe the one who holds eternity. When you don't understand the purpose of His plan, in the presence of your King, bow the knee.

I have been challenged very recently about trusting my Father's heart. As I was sitting on my bed tonight crying out to God for His mercy and grace on my life and on present circumstances I heard Him say to me...'Kyla? do you believe that your God is bigger than the pain you are feeling right now? Not the God you learned about in sunday school but the God that has shown Himself faithful time and time again, the God that holds the very heart that is hurting?' I was quiet. There is nothing wrong with sunday school or the stories that made a big God become very real to a very small mind but I have grown in my spiritaul walk since then and if my view of God was still as it was then....my vision of the potential of that same God, would be very small. As I thought over the question I heard the Holy Spirit say to me I had no choice but to examine myself. Were my eyes lifted towards the only place that I could find peace? Or was the circumstance clouding my view?


There are days when clouds surround us and the cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow. Even though there is reason for the suffering wefeel, we are tempted to believe that God does not know. When the storms arise, don't forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Bow the knee. Trust the heart of your Father, when the answer goes beyond what you can see. Bow the knee. Lift your eyes towards heaven and believe the one who holds eternity. In the presence of your King, bow the knee.


Don't forget we live by faith and not by sight.' What a cliche verse but what a process to live out. I am resigned to believe that God DOES know. My heart is resigned to the truthfulness of past circumstances that prove Him above and beyond worthy of that fact. I WILL trust my father's heart...He sees beyind what I can....He makes a way where there seems no way....He works in ways I cannot see....With love and strength for each knew day..He WILL make a way.

In the presence of my King. I bow my knee.

Strength to Overcome.

I know that the words to this song may seem a bit "far out" but they very much describe what I feel about accomplishing life with and by the Lord's strength. After hearing this song I am reminded of the verse, "The joy of the Lord is my strength." Just think. When we are finding our complete and total satisfaction in Christ alone, our spirit is joyful. We feel as if we could fly! Because of the very fact that "His strength is perfect in our weakness" makes the fact that if we let Him, our weakness can be made perfect by His strength! I relate this to the idea of flying because I can, as a daughter of the Most High, accomplish great and might things despite the odds. Who would ever try to fly by their own power? Only a fool. But no, how many times do we take life and it's circumstances into our own hands and think we have it together to soar through this sky of life. I am guilty on more than a few occassions and I'm sure you could say the same. Who wants to keep crashing to the ground when there are new sights to be seen and a pilot that is more than willing to direct the course! Ah, yes. I know. All this easier said than done. I am here to say, that we CAN soar on the wind, but only...under the shadow of the Almighty (Ps 91). Fly free my dear ones. I fly free too because of the strength to overcome by the joy of finding all that I am in Christ, and in Him alone.


I'm standing on the edge
with my arms wide open
Waiting for the wind to blow
thinking I can make it on my own
I'm taking my first step
and I'm crashing to the ground
realizing thatI will never grow wings
I'll never make it on my own!

You want me to fly
but You are the only one with wings
You are the breath that moves the wind
You are the source of all these things
Even when I fall
You still want me to try
I can soar on the wind
if you lend me your wings
I can fly-

I'm standing on the edge
with my arms wide open
Afraid that if the wind blows
again I'll fall
I don't dare take a step
The chance to fal land get hurt again
Maybe I can't make it after all!

I'm standing on the edge
with my arms wide open
waiting for the wind to blow
It's the last time that I am trying
You're standing by my side
with Your arms wide open
I'm realizing that I can hold onto you
We can make it after all!

You are the breath that moves the wind
You are the source of all these things
I can soar on the wind
I can fly!
