Good Things Come From Above

But the only way to see them is by lifting up my eyes! The Lord spoke to me so clearly on Sunday and told me this. Lift up your eyes, Holly, there are good things coming, but you can't see them if your always looking at the ground! You can't see the mountain top (victory) if your looking at the valley (trial). So, I will life up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help! Feeling happy in Jesus this week! No matter the trial or the test, if I keep my focus upward, on HIM, I will see victory ahead... HEAVEN! If that's not enough to keep me going, I don't know what is! :) I have peace. Peace in the midst of trouble, there is peace in the midst of the storm. Peace because of God's presence! I can be in the middle of a roaring sea and still have peace! Praise the Lord for His peace! Peace which passeth all understanding... why does it pass all understanding? Because, normally there would not be peace in the middle of a bad storm at sea. There would be anxiety, fear, and confusion. But with Jesus as my Captain, I have peace. So thankful for my Heavenly Father, today and all that He's done for me! I love You, precious Jesus, with all of my heart!

Good Friday~

What else can I post today, other than a BIG THANK-YOU, to Jesus! Thank-You, for paying the ultimate price! Thank-You, for saving a wretch like me! Thank-You, for giving Your ALL for me! Thank-You, for loving me when I was unlovable! Thank-You, for Your grace and mercy! Thank-You, for SUNDAY...for RISING AGAIN! Thank-You, precious Jesus, for it all! I love You, Lord!


Because of what He's done for me... This is the least I can do in return... Embrace the Cross. PLEASE pause the music at the bottom of this page, and listen to this song!

My Heart's Cry

Giving My Life Away

Words and Music by Nate Sabin © Lorilu Music

1.I’ve seen a vision harsh and sweet,
Of One who gave all He had for me.
I’ve felt the passion of His death
And the forgiveness in His final breath.
Now I can never be the same.
My heart has been forever changed;
I’ve got to live and love and give the way He gave.


CHORUS: I’m giving my life away, laying it down on the altar;
Now I’m giving my life away, the very least I can offer is my all.
So here I stand today, giving my life away.


2.No earthly price could be too great;
No sacrifice too much to make.
No way of measuring the cost next to the blood of Calvary’s cross.
So if I live, I live for Him; or if I die, I count it gain.
My life is not my own, but His from this day on.


CHORUS: I’m giving my life away, laying it down on the altar;
Now I’m giving my life away, the very least I can offer is my all.
So here I stand today, giving my life away.

I'm a seeker of His heart

Hope you enjoy this song! Truly this is my heart's cry!

Jesus,I want to always be a seeker of Your heart! At this special time of year, I look back and think of what You did for me at Calvary... I am again awed by how much You love me! I have fallen deeper in love with You, precious Jesus, and realize again how much I owe You! You gave everything for me, I in return, owe EVERYTHING to You! I am so unworthy! Jesus, You are Worthy! Worthy of ALL of my praise and adoration!

Stop. . .Drop. . . Roll

When the storms of life come and you don't know what to do, there is one formula that assures us overcoming victory!

Stop. Stop trying to take care of things on our own. Quit running here and there trying to take care of this, fix that, quench that bit of gossip or wrong doing.

Drop. Drop to our knees and give HIM full control of the situation. Jesus knows and has the power to take care of us! If He can say "Peace be still" and the waves instantly become calm, then why do we hesitate to give Him our problems? He SPOKE the world into existence. . . and we "wonder" if He can take care of our storm? Oh Yes, He can take care of it alright. . . it's just a matter of our faith in Him. Do we trust Him enough to let Him take care of it in His time?

Roll. Let the Hallelujahs ROLL! Yes, praise Him in the storm! What's that song say? "God wants to hear you sing, when the waves are crashing round' you, when the fiery darts surround you, when despair is all you see. God wants to hear your voice when the wisest man has spoken, says your circumstance is hopeless as can be. That's when God wants to hear you sing." That pretty much says it all :) Praising Him is a very effective way to have victory. The Devil HATES for us to praise on purpose. What is praising on purpose? That's praising Jesus, for the full deliverance we KNOW is coming! Praising HIM for answered prayer when we don't see it being answered. Praising HIM for peace when the waves are 1,000 feet tall and tossing your boat around. That my friend, is praising on purpose. It's trust that KNOWS, He will answer prayer and deliver us, In His Time.

So the next time Satan comes around. . . Stop. Drop. Roll.

Good night, my friends! Remember. . .
~God's in His Heaven. All's right with the world!~

Come on Over

And share a cup of tea with me! :) Happy Tuesday everyone!

Beautiful In His Time

In His time, in His time.
He makes all things beautiful, in His time.
Lord, please show me every day,
As You’re teaching me Your way,
That You do just what You say,
In Your time.

In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful, in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring,
May each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing,
In Your time.



My life will be beautiful and perfect... In HIS time. :) Such a consolation to rest on Him and know that He has everything under control! I love You, precious Jesus!

New Chapter

A chapter of my life, that spanned nearly 6 years, has closed. In this time, I learned about friendship, love and loss.



But you know what? This chapter has brought me so many good things and I am so thankful for it! "I thought your fiance broke up with you?" you may say... "how then can you say you are thankful?" My friend, let me tell you why I am so grateful!



I am thankful because in this time, I learned to trust God so much more,

because He was the only One who understood me and situations I faced.

I learned to fall completely into His arms of strength and grace, and rely upon His word.I was reminded of the fact that walking with God,is a daily choice.

I was reminded that when you walk with God there is peace,joy, and hope.

I was reminded, that the center of the Will of God is the safest place to be.

I was reminded that, one step outside of God's Will, will bring destruction, sorrow and pain to your heart. I was stirred like never before, to stay close to Jesus,

and allow Him to lead me in every area of life. It brought me to the point where I had to stand and make a decision about which way I was going to go.

Did I love Jesus enough to lose my fiance, the love of my life?

Did I love Him enough to face the future, possibly alone for the rest of my life?

Did I love Him enough to stand up for what was right? Did I love Jesus enough,to give up the one thing I have wanted, longed for, and dreamed of all my life... a husband, a home,and a family? Yes, this chapter brought me to that point, and I am so glad that I answered YES! Yes, Precious Jesus, I love Thee more than ALL of these!



So Yes,Nathan and I are no longer together. Yes, I was supposed to get married in less than two months from now. Yes, it was devastating to get that phone call 5 days after he proposed, and hearing him call off the wedding, for no reason. Yes, it was devastatingto receive a letter in the mail, 10 days after he proposed, on our fifth year anniversary, breaking up with me for no reason. Yes, it was hard to have all of my life turned upside down. Yes, there were times of tears and sorrow. Yes, my heart got broken. But, in light of all that learned, I am blessed and I am thankful for all of the things God has taught me through this experience! He took something ugly and made it beautiful. Took my ashes and made them jewels. Took my heartache gave me joy. How then, can I not Praise Him? He is my ALL in ALL, my King, The Lover of my soul, my Saviour, my Couselor, my Comforter, and my soon coming Bridegroom!

My heart rejoices in God, for He is all together wonderful and marvelous to me!



For Nathan, I have no ill feelings. I am not mad or upset with him. My only sadness,

is that he is not in Spiritual Victory now. So I will continue to pray for him and hope that someday he will return to the fold and find once again, the peace and joy that only comes from serving Jesus. I wish him only the best for the future and ultimately I want him to find Jesus precious to his heart again, so that he will make Heaven.



This chapter is finished, and now a new one has begun. I do not know what lies ahead but I know that the Author of my life does and will trust Him because He doeth ALL things well! I am a blank page before God, He has the quill and ink in His Almighty hand, and is writing my story, line by line, chapter by chapter, diligently working toward the time, when He will write with a flourish, "The End."

Burning Love

That's the title of Pap-pa's message tonight. Taken from Song of Solomon chapter eight verses five through seven.


5.Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

6.Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

7.Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.


A burning, ardent love for God. I don't even know where to start, I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head.

A relationship between two people, that are in love is beautiful. It's warm it's caring, it's a give-and-take relationship, it's communication, it's a perfect picture of loyalty, trust, and strength (the greatest strength is found in leaning on each other).

You say that this doesn't really relate to this Scripture and you're right. But let's relate this relationship to what our relationship with God should be.

The relationship between God and man is the most beautiful thing ever! It goes both ways. God loved us unconditionally and we are to love Him the same way. If we love God, not just a general, lack-luster love, but a BURNING, ARDENT love, then we will receive His blessing and love in return. We should care for God, just as He cares for us. You know how you do special things for that person you love? Same thing applies here. He gives us so many special blessings and benefits, shouldn't we do the same thing for Him? Shouldn't we praise Him, and honor Him, and glorify Him in everything we do? Shouldn't we let the world know that HE is supreme in our hearts, our number 1? Yes, we should and we will if we have this BURNING LOVE. The more that we give to God the more He gives to us, and His "gifts" always outweigh our feeble offerings a million + to one. Communication is key in a relationship. The more that we love someone the more we want to talk to them and communicate with them. It's the same thing with God. The more love BURNS in me for HIM, the more I want to talk to HIM, want to be with Him,want to know HIM, want to please HIM. BURNING and ARDENT love for God will be reciprocated, and that relationship is the most perfect picture of loyalty, trust, and strength. Loyalty to Him, because He loves me so much and gave His ALL for me. How can I not be loyal and true to my Precious Redeemer? In return, He is faithful to me and never leaves alone. He always keeps His word and brings me through each trial with victory. Trust in Him, because He has NEVER let me down! Trust in Him, because He cares and always fulfills His promises. He trusts me to be faithful and to lean on Him for guidance and deliverance. How can I possibly let Him down? Strength. True strength and courage is only found when I lean on God for EVERYTHING. Leaning on Him, because He's already walked ahead of me and knows what I'm going to face. He has all the grace needed, all the sustaining power in store for me. Nothing is going to take Him off guard, He knows it ALL! Why wouldn't I trust the ONE who planned my whole life,knows what's going to happen, and knows me better than anyone else? BURNING LOVE will make me be loyal, trusting, and forever leaning on HIM, because I know He is worthy and because I love Him and want to please Him.

This message stirred my heart to love God more and let Him KNOW more and more how much He means to me and how much I love Him. He is Worthy to be loved and adored!
We don't have any trouble loving that special someone, or our family and friends, why then do people struggle to love God. Is it because we don't realize how unworthy yet priviledged we are to have HIM?

Jesus, help me to NEVER forget just how unworthy I am and how much I need YOU! Without Your love, I wouldn't be here. I would be, deservingly, in Hell. But YOU, looking across time saw a filthy, wretched girl who would be born in 1992, named Holly, and You thought she was important enough to leave Heaven, all of Your Glory, Your Praise, all of the comforts You had and come to earth. And for what? To die. To die, a horrible, painful death. You did that for me. You looked and saw me, and said that I was worth dying for. You loved me, when I didn't love you. You kept calling me even when I turned You away. Jesus, how can I not love You with a Burning love when I think of all that You've done for me? I love Thee, Lord Jesus, with all of my heart! Thank-You, for coming to earth for me. Thank-You, for dying to save me. Thank-You for Your Divine love that loved me so much when I was so unlovable. Thank-You, Precious Jesus! Lord, Help me to be always be awed by Thy love that way I will always love Thee with the Burning love that You desire. I want to live my life to please You in ALL that I do! I love You, Lord!

"I Love Thee, Lord Jesus, with all of my heart,
I Love Thee, Lord Jesus, with all of my heart,
For dying on Calvary, for giving me victory,
I Love Thee, Lord Jesus, with all of my heart!"
