Posts painted with words by Emilee... a sophomore living amongst the Flint Hills of Kansas. From the coffee shop to Emilee's bedroom we stay up late & jot down experiences about how hard life is & how faithful God reveals Himself inasmuch in the minute as the majestic. We're crazy, quirky, peculiar, but above all: we're HIS.
I love the moon...the stars. They are gorgeous, right? Think about that source for that light. The Sun...or
should I say the Son. Without that Sun they would not glow. They would not reflect.
We are like the moon. As Christians we reflect the Son. Sometimes we do it in big ways like a full moon
and sometimes in smaller simple ways...in the waxing crescent season of life.
The Sun is down right gorgeous. Sunsets are beautiful; breathtaking.
The Son is blamless, beautiful, and breathtaking :) The Moon has the privilege to reflect that beauty and holiness. _Your name here_ has the privilege to reflect that beauty and holiness.
Hebrews 1:3
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
We are the reflection of the radiance of Abba's glory. As witnesses, we shine for the Kingdom of God.
Reflect!
Delight yourself in the Lord...and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Hello my blessed bloggies! {Why I came up w/ the word bloggies I do not know ; ) }
How have you been? I wish I actually knew :)
Before I get to Aaron I'm gonna share about my week.
This was my second week of school...I ''worked'' at the library on Tuesday.
Wednesday night I went to PowerHour and got to read about Jesus' life in a public place!
Sidenote: I mean...Seriously...Not every believer can do that. We are blessed.
Thursday: Shots. For. Africa. I survived :) I wasn't really nervous since I found out about it only two days before we went. Mom and I don't need any more shots...So that is a thing crossed off our to-do before Africa list!
Friday. As in- Yesterday. :)
We babysit for a Moms Bible Study on Friday mornings...
It is so awesome to watch these little ones grow up....When they are beginning to walk or talk.
So fun! Friday afternoon {and this morning} we had a garage sale. My Aunt came over
to sell some things as well. It was good to hang out with her :)
When we were setting up for it our friend from church came over {also our neighbor}
and I got to spend time their little one. Needless to say...It was a great day :)
TODAY: We finished up the garage sale and this afternoon we are relaxing and I am blogging and reading blogs. Imagine that! Tonight we are going to a BBQ with our beloved Uganda team. We are going to watch a movie and just hang out together. I am looking forward to it. Remember when I was only dreaming of Africa?
Aaron Shust.
I am going to share a video of him explaining a little about his story.
If you are interested check out his website... His story and more of his music. :)
The song I am literally listening to right now:
A new song that includes Kari Jobe from our last post.
~What Wondrous Love is this?
An AWESOME song I have loved since the first ''view'':
~Your Majesty
Revelation 4:11
New International Version 1984
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
Hello my friends!
It seems like August 31st was yesterday! Seriously! This closing of Summer and opening of Fall is going really quick. How are ya?
I started School this week, ''Officially'' joined Power Hour {Wednesday night get together for 6-7 grades at my church}, babysat, and yesterday we had a Beth Moore Simulcast at our church {along with 180,000 other ladies from around the globe! Such a God-thing...}.
It was SOOOO GOOD! Can you hear me saying it? It wasn't just good it was just plain good!
Our main ''character'' was Luke. Ya know...The Gospel of Luke and Acts writer Luke.
I learned alot about him that I hadn't before. I was thee ''Event Photographer'' and you know how much I love pictures!
Today was 9/11/11. I will say that I can't remember anything about it considering I was 2 at the time.
I wish I had something really poetic to say to you about this event that changed SO MANY, MANY lives.
BUT, I don't really. I do ask you though to pray for the people effected by it. I bet today was super hard for them. So even though I don't remember 9/11 I can still try my best to pray for those STILL healing and always missing their friends and relatives. Thanks for joining me!
Okay, so tonight I am going to share a song. Not like ten I promise, but one video that I have really been enjoying lately! I have been dieing to share it w/ ya.
Isn't that just a cool song? Kari Jobe! You Are For Me~
So Faithful/So Constant....So Wonderful In All You Do.
Thanks for reading! Have a blessed week and a AWESOME Monday, guys.
Live For HIM!
Hello all!!
*Sigh*
Can you believe it is August 31st?
I remember July 31st like it was yesterday.
One day when I was riding down the rode I thought up this blog.
I have been wanting to write it for awhile now. So what better blog is there to close up our August archive?
I have been thinking of the different songs and books that start with, ''Made To'' or ''You Were Made To.''
Join me in saying, ''Chocolates and Coffee August!!''
Love,
Emilee Kaye
P.S. I read this passage this evening and wanted to share it with you.
Matthew 5:46-48 The MSG
If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that. 48"In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you."
Hello my brothers and sisters!!
How are ya?
My evening is being filled with blogs. Reading blogs, writing blogs, preparing for blogs. :)
Im going to share some photos tonight...Thanks for keeping me company!
This is Cloverton in Washington, KS last Sunday evening.
