Decisions making
OK, stop.
I have an important announcement to make.
To every new born christian who seeks God’s will in their life and who has trouble in making decisions, I’m about to tell you something huge!!
Are you trusting the Lord completely for every aspect of your life and have you already put down your life at His feet (really sincerely, with no exceptions, no hypocrisy)?
If the answer is yes, well you have the astounding opportunity to have NO MORE problems with decisions making.
Does that sound huge to you? No more problems with decisions making? If you would have told me that a year ago I would have stared at you desperately, hoping for this to be a real possibility for me. But hey, decisions about studies, career, finding the one, mission trips, summer vacations, (it goes on and on, I mean… ALL DECISIONS) are very touchy, hard, stressful, worrying, etc! But… are they.. really ?
No
Keep your trust in the Lord and go straight forward, why would you hesitate? You have an almighty God in control of your life! He has a plan for you and if you let Him the exclusivity in every details of your life, He will be there to guide you in all the decisions you are making. He is there to catch you when you fall and place you back on the right path.
For so long I used to wait (soooo long) before making a decision. I had to feel a unshakable peace about the decision I was making, otherwise it wasn’t God’s will (it’s what I was thinking), but today I realise it wasn’t right.
Try something and pray. This is the advice I am giving you. If obstacles are stopping you and doors are closing or if blessings keep popping, if God speaks to your heart, if the people around you agree or disagree, then peace or doubt will take place in your heart, it will re-enforce your decision or show you if it is wrong.
Trust in the Lord, seek Him, and be filled by His powerful love. (oh it is so good to be a child of God!)
Proverbs 16:33
The lot is cast into the lap,
but its every decision is from the LORD.
Proverbs 3:26
for the LORD will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being snared.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
1 John 5:13-15
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
Job 22:27-29
You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows.
What you decide on will be done,
and light will shine on your ways.
When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
then he will save the downcast.
John 8:16
But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.

___ Prayer
Blogging doesn’t seem to be a priority in my life since I write here only once every 4 months ! 
In the last 4 months, I’ve learned a lot about God, myself, prayer, and relationships.
I first want to thank God for His infinite patience and love towards me. He is my everything, my rock, the only reason I’m here.
My deepest desire is to live every second of my life for and by Him, to be filled with the Holy Spirit for every breath I take. This desire is so strong in me, I wish nothing could take me away from that, but I’m a sinner, Satan is rushing to disturb my life. He can’t pull me away, but he can fill my time with all sorts of useless things!! He can also place doubts into my mind, strugglings, worries, dark toughts, lusts, but nothing will separate me from the love of my almighty Savior!
Romans 8.38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Prayer, with a little faith in a powerful God, is incredible. But if God is in control of everything, why do we have to pray? Doesn’t He know all the needs and all the problems of the world, why should we ask Him for anything? Because we are part of His plan. He planned for us to pray! That answer popped out as I was asking all these questions to myself, and it was enough to persuate me that prayer is important, more than we can imagine. Even Jesus-Christ (God himself!!), prayed (a lot!!) during His journey on earth !! He commands us to pray. It is also very important for keeping a healthy relationship with God.
Prayer is so important that we should constantly be doing so.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (King James Version)
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (New International Version)
Pray continually.

Haven’t posted in a while…
I never used to write here very often but 4 months without a word is pretty long. It is definetly not because there’s nothing interesting happening in my life, far from that, I’ve never felt so blessed and so filled with all sorts of colorful emotions before. Last time I wrote here, I said : ”A lot of things is changing or moving on in my life, maybe it’s less concrete than I think it is, but it makes me want to be so much nearer to God.” Would you call that a turning point, well oh yes it was, I felt it right before it became concrete.
Que Dieu soit loué pour sa fidélité et son amour ! Je ne comprend toujours pas pourquoi Il a permit qu’une telle bénédiction entre dans ma vie. Je le remercie encore et encore, et je veux à chaque jour et à chaque instant être en sa présence pour savourer ce plan parfait et merveilleux qu’Il a pour moi.

Not my strenght
I’m still working in the same Quiznos Sub, planning to continue my college studies in languages where I left them. I might have crossed-out that career from my potential career list, but hey, only fools don’t change their minds, so I’m heading for translation.
A lot of things is changing or moving on in my life, maybe it’s less concrete than I think it is, but it makes me want to be so much nearer to God. I need him more than ever, because feeling comfortable where I am is a door wide-open to desiring to run my life by myself, and if I’d do that, ew, it could get really bad.
1 Corinthians 10.12
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!
I shall not think it is my own strenght, because it is not. When I am strong I must thank God and when I am weak I must thank God . I must thank God in everything, because I gave Him my life and he is in control. What am I without Him? He is my everything.
2 Corinthians 12:10
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Prière à mon Dieu
Jusqu’à quand useras-tu de patience envers moi qui suis une créature rebelle, sale, hypocrite et indigne de ta présence. Pourquoi tout cet amour que je ne mérite pas et qu’il m’est impossible de te retourner également? Je suis faible. Je ne fais pas ce que je veux et je veux t’aimer.
Apprends-moi.
Prends-moi.
Utilises-moi.
Que je ne vive plus pour ce monde, mais que je vive pour toi, par toi.
Que tout disparaisse de mon coeur pourqu’il ne reste que toi mon Dieu, pour que toute la place te revienne!
Que sont des paroles? Je veux plus que des paroles à ton intention, je veux être sincère jusqu’en action! Que mon coeur, que ma vie soit à toi! Pas seulement ma tête.
Prend mon coeur! Prend mon âme! Je te donne tout! Prend ma vie, me voici! Je te donne tout! Mon coeur est à toi, tout à toi!
Je veux vivre pour toi seulement! Pitié! Arrache toutes les épines qui m’arrêtent! Je te le demande! Et même si ça fait mal, je m’en fou!
C’est vivre pour toi que je veux!
Je ne veux plus jamais gaspiller ma vie pour les choses du monde, les choses qui durent un temps seulement. Je veux vivre pour les choses qui durent éternellement!
Montres-moi ta volonté en toute chose!
Manifeste-toi, Éternel des armées!

Today’s glance in His Word…
Psalm 40: 1-5, 9
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered. [...]
9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,
O LORD, You Yourself know.
1 Corinthians 10: 23, 24
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.

Single doesn’t mean lonely
I’ve always had an hard time at job because of my single status. They (co-workers) all try to match you with someone, and they seem to believe that you’re are not a normal citizen until you are taken. I guess they believe they’re making a good action for you, but it is so wrong. So wrong! What’s the hurry? Why would they feel pityful for someone single? It doesn’t mean you’re a no-life lonely geek! Where are the values in this world?
When I will be dating someone, I’ll have to have God’s peace about it. When I will be dating someone, it’s because I’ll have the conviction that he might be the one God wants for me to marry.
I am never alone. The only one I need is God, and He is always there with me and for me. He’s the best best friend you can ever have.
Psalm 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.
Isaiah 8:10c For God is with us.
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.
Ephesians 3:12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

Way of Life
I had a dream, and I enjoyed it, it kinda gave me a goal for my life.
Now that my dream disapeared, I feel like I am missing something. There’s a hole in my heart!
Maybe that dream was taking too much of space in me, I shall fill my heart completely with God and His word, then I will feel complete.
It is so easy to fill ourselves with the world’s dreams, goals and passions and we seem to never have enough, but it is so much greater, amazing and rewarding to be filled by God, His word and His Holy Spirit.
So what does really matter? What restaurant for dinner? What we are wearing? No.
What matters is: are YOU looking at the good place, are YOU looking at God?
Are YOU giving him all the place in your heart?
Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29-30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Contemplation
Psalm 8:3,4
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 119:18
Open my eyes that I may see
wonderful things in your law.
