Who said watercolors are for kids?!!?!

Once upon a time, a girl named Taylor used to love painting with watercolors... One day, some of her wonderful friends heard of this and surprised her for her birthday with some new supplies.. And here is the outcome :) Please tell me what you think! Criticism is highly desired.. I want to know what to change or add!!! Since I can no longer go to Narnia, I brought it to life on a watercolor card :)

I wanna say thanks to all my followers..

So Thank you to my devoted followers..

The desire to desire..

My youngest sister and my dad have this little game they play, I'm sure at one time you played it as well. It goes like so:
My dad tells her he loves her and she replies, "I love you!".
This is followed by his, "I love you more!" and her, "no, I love you more!". As you can see, this goes on and on until she replies in a sigh full of pleading, "Daddy- I want to love you more."
This is my wish.
I know I don't love You enough and at times I don't even see that I don't. But I plead, Heavenly Daddy, I want to love you more...

All to Know HIM!

...WHO then is he that can stand before Me? WHO has given to Me that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine. JOB 41:10-11
He owes us NOTHING.
Yet
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness...He has NOT dealt with us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is his loving kindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, So far has he removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him... YET... He is mindful that we are but dust!!!!!! PSALM 103
He, HE sought after us! He did it all... God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. Acts 17:27
Let us Seek for God, Pursue Him, and find ALL of our joy in HIM! For He is a personal God!! We CAN, by His Grace , KNOW HIM!!! I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do not count them but refuse, that I may WIN CHRIST!!!!
What other nation is so great is to have their gods as near to them the way our LORD our God is near to us whenever we pray to Him? Deuteronomy 4:7
Lord, I pray, I know it is Your will that I may know You! Thank you. Thank you that I was lost with no hope and You came and showed me the Grace You have poured forth for me! Thank You Lord that You are a personal God, That You call me to seek You. Though You owe us NOTHING, You have given us the greatest Gift, Your Son. Lord, I pray, I know it is Your will that we may know You. Help us to seek You. To run hard after You. To see You more and more that wemay know our place before You and find perfect peace in it. Help us to look to You that You may reflect in us to build Your Kingdom! The Joy, Wonder, and Reverence of knowing YOU is at our doors , teach us to open it. I pray, all of this, in Your Loving Merciful name, Amen.

All I need

All I need is God.

That is it.

What more could I need?

He is

The TRUTH

The WAY

and The Life.

He is the source of all true Joy..

I need not a Christian Family.

I need not to be beautiful.

I need not a best friend.

I need not exceptence from others.

I need not be known.

I need not be understood.

I need not to be seen as good.

I need not be loved.

I need not to be a nurse.

I need not be married.

Inside I have a longing.

A longing I was created with.

Only one thing can fill it.

It is God.

That is it.

No object,

No attention,

No sinful person,

Can ever take His place.

So why do I continue to believe these lies?

Lord I ask thee,

I have a longing to worship you,

remind me, guide me, and teach me.

Draw me close to You.

For You have saved me.

Teach me to love You more.

Show me You are

All I need...

Present?

My birthday is coming up.

Not really sure if you care or if any one even reads my blog still... I can never tell.There are too few comments and lately there are "0" comments!!! I don't blame you. I wouldn't read my blog either. It must annoy those who actually know English to have to choke down my spelling and grammar mistakes!

any way, as i was saying, my birthday is coming up!!

I don't know if many of you know but I have a great love for the Narnia books. And as my dear friend Alla has posted on her blog blossomingbranches.blogspot.com, I also desire so much to be like Lucy and be deeply in love with Christ! The books give me chills to watch Aslan act and radiate all of God's great attributes. Because of this when i found this book at barns and noble and I nearly fell to my knees with want, the good kind.

so if any of you want to get me a present, you could all pitch in and get me just this :)

Greatest moments...

I have come to realise the greatest moments in my life is when I see how much I really do FAIL...
As I sit in tears and fear.. I think.. "what on am I gonna do?????!!!"
"God should just send me to Hell now...."
Then... A sudden peace flows through out me...
yes..
a simple truth that rules my life...
God has died for me.

Grace+Love+Pain= Hope and Hope=Joy

Whether physical, emotional or situational, it is reassuring to know that all my pain is for my good. What an undeserving grace!!! I do not know how I could ever live without this. All of my pain, even if silly me does not understand, is to help me!! How much He does love me. My pain only shows me how much He does. HE, the God that made the world and is so great I cannot even begin to touch the depth of understanding of His greatness, would work in MY life to conform me to His son. And even though for a short time I may suffer, He is only refining me so that I may be clean and pure gold...
It gets even better, through my pain and suffering, I get to come to Him and pour out my heart.. and HE CARES!!!
ahh how sweet it is to know thee Jesus... to be found in thee FOREVER!!
I pray to Him that I might continue to seek Him that I might know Him and find His peace here on Earth... To have Heaven on Earth.

Luke 12:34

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also...

Letter to my back...

Dear back,
Let me start of by telling you how sorry I am. I did choose you over my head. At the time, I did not see just how important you are. But now that I have hurt you, I see how good you were to me. Thank you for being so strong and not breaking as I so painfully crushed you. Please do forgive me and get well soon.
Till death do us part,
Taylor

Your turn

School has started..
and I'll be honest...
Although I really wish not to say a word...
I've been finding it extremely difficult to not worry about what the world thinks of me..
Okay I said it..
I've been really quiet in my classes and trying to just "blend" in.
I know that this is BAD... BAD! that I won't be able to evangelise to others if I try to be neutral. Yes. I know that this will also mean other will mock me just as they did my sweet savior.
BUT, I'm still finding it difficult..
SO I ask you, please, please, please, help me out!
My dear brothers and sister, what is it that helps you in this area?? What verses do you look to? What things do you do?

Oh my High King,
now,forever I shall sing
of Your grace that ransomed me.
my God, I will never cease to thank thee!!!!
