Simply Redeemed

A journal entry from 2.3.10 Daddy, last night when I couldn't sleep, I thought of my life right now and it is kind of like I am facing a big brick wall. The wall is all the stuff that is holding me back from you Father. I know you are on the other side calling for me, waiting to embrace me. It is my decision to sit there and think "I can't break down this wall" or to pound at it, never giving up, no matter how hard or how long it takes, no matter how unmotivated I feel, just pound at it until it falls and I feel Your warmth again. I really cannot wait until the day I can be with You. Soon and very soon. I know right now it feels like eternity, but once I am there it will be ETERNITY. It will be wonderful. I'll be with the one I love, with unveiled face I'll see You. Now this goes to show that every Christian goes through dry seasons, or season when they feel they are completely separated from  God because of things in their lives. And yes the  separation ...

You know, I can go awhile with being alone, but a whole day alone i cannot do. When I am alone to long, thoughts consume me, and not the kind of thoughts anyone would want their head to be filled with. Memories of my hardest days come when I am alone. The day when I lost my brother, the day I lost my best friend, the day my heart was shattered by the boy I thought I would be with forever, the boy who knew me better than anyone, thoughts of the day I was asked to leave somewhere I loved and had made huge sacrifices for, thoughts of my past mistakes, lies from the enemy telling me that these things happened because I am not worth it, that I have nothing to offer, that I will never ever overcome my hurts habits and hangups. These are the things that fill my head when I am alone for too long. The enemy knows that I am most vulnerable when I am alone, and that is when he attacks. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT The enemy is under Christ's feet and I am made free as a child of the Lord. ...

Today I am in awe. In awe of the Lord. I am filled  with excitement at the fact that death no longer has it's sting. Christ tasted death for us all that this may become true. I am excited that the curtain was torn and now I may come into the presence of the Lord with confidence and there is now no separation  because of my sins. I can now draw near to God in full assurance because sin has been dealt with and because sin has been dealt with through Christ, death has been dealt with as well. We will one day see our loved ones who were in Christ that have past! PRAISE JESUS . I am excited that the enemy is under God's feet and we are made free . All these truths fill my heart with joy and hope. All these thoughts were brought about by John Mark Harts wonderful sermon yesterday. Here are some verses to read: Heb 10:19 Acts 20:24 Heb 2:9,14 1 Cor 15 Matthew 27:45-54 Heb 4:15-16 Watch: ALIVE IN US.

So I am new to this whole blogging thing so bear with me while I figure it out. I love journaling, so I figured I might as well share a little with the world. So here goes nothing...my first post: I'm Kacey Lynn <3  I know I don't have all the answers, but I daily read a book that does.  I know that I'm not always quick to forgive others who wrong me, but I follow a God who is.  I know I'm not always the greatest at listening to others problems, but I pray to One who is.  I know I have so many flaws and imperfectipons, but I follow Someone who has not one.   I know I don't have it all together, but I believe in a Savior that does.  I know I can be filled with pride sometimes, or should I say all the time, but I follow a Humble  Servant who has nothing but humility within Him.  So as I come to these realizations I ask that you don't look at me, but please focus on the Jesus that lives in me!  I don't pray for humility, I pra...
