7 years

7 is suppose to be a number of the bible right? Well I am now believing that too for my life. 7 years is how long I have lived in Washington, the longest my family has ever stayed in one place. I look back and I see what God has taken me through: He has seen my family go through a divorce, me go through hell and back, myself trying to take my life more than once, the joy, the sorrow, the hope, me coming to breakthrough and getting saved, me getting baptized, the friends I have made and lost, my dad keeping his job for so long, and a bunch of other stuff. I think God put me here in the Tri Cities for 7 years for a very specific reason. I look back and often ponder my thoughts what if we didn't move from Colorado to here, what if God didn't take me to this state would I have heard His calling apon my life? To go to Life Pacific College after I graduate and go on missions across the world? To fully realize that God has a plan for me here is incredible because sometimes I do ask God why am I in this city? But then I understand He wanted me for a reason. I realized how many friends I have been truly blessed with and also with a job and an amazing youth group that isn't just another church but my second family. Why am I talking about the past 7 years well because today I got the news my dad was guaranteed his job up till Sept 30th. After that it is all up in the air. I haven't heard that news since my 4th grade year in Colorado. I was kinda shocked when I heard the news, I asked God why right now? In the midst of everything else that is going on why? But then I heard His still voice saying TRUST. Maybe it is time for us to pack up and move again maybe God has something bigger and better out there. But it is hard when you are comfortable with where you are. But that isn't what faith is about it is about trusting God when you cannot see in front of you. I thought this season was just going to be about getting rid of junk in my heart but maybe it is more. Maybe God wants to uproot the things I have learned here and plant me in a different location to impact the lives of others. Maybe I can bring the love I have experienced here and give it to others who don't know this love of Jesus. To fully say I am yours God do your will. I know if it wasn't for moving here I honestly don't think I would have known the love of my heavenly Papa like I do today. I don't think I would have ever seen the miracles I saw and most certainly not have a strong relationship with Jesus. I am so nervous to see where God is going to take us next but if He keeps us here or moves us I will trust Him. Because He knows what is coming next and knows what is the next chapter in my life. Like I wrote last night I do believe this is a season of trust, nothing less and nothing more than just trusting Jesus. I know it will be good and some how in some way that I cannot even describe in the end He will WORK it ALL out for His glory and to my benefits. I think this is also a test to see if I am strong as I "say" to say God you are in control and I am not. Where ever I go though I do know one thing for sure the presence of Jesus will never leave me or forsake me. So all I have to say is I am ready and this shall be an adventure.

God Bless

Empty but Full

I am typing this blog honestly having no idea where this is coming from. I am so tired of not being full. Full of Jesus that is to fully know him and understand him. Because honestly you cannot be semi full of the Jesus and Semi full of the world it doesn't work that way. You cannot desire Jesus yet still run to that "comfort" you know in the world when you don't "feel" you are receiving fully from Jesus. I know I am so sick of having a void in my heart something I am always trying to fill in my heart. Where the real question should be where am I lacking putting my time and effort into trusting God. In my interns class today my Pastor asked us to write down if we could have anything spiritually what would it be I wrote down this" if I could have anything spiritually it would have to be to trust God fully no second thoughts or questions just trust." I do that is the desire of my heart is to trust God and to know that it is all going to be ok. I keep telling myself that but it is so hard to fully take heart and say NO my God is bigger than this. I am so tired of taking one big spiritual step forward then a slip back wards. I ask my self why am I looking at this "worldly" object isn't my God enough for me. WE all hear those songs that go you satisfy my soul I want to fully know that what it means to be 110% satisfied. I know at one point I was and somehow it has diminished a little but I shouldn't let the storms affect my relationship, these past 3 years I have been save that is my life verse Hebrews 12:1-2 to preserve but maybe that isn't enough anymore, ya my heart might be preserving but if my soul and mind do not work in a trinity nothing can happen I cannot advance forward or go its like I am stuck. But God doesn't want me to be stuck but to keep going and to hear His voice, even though yeah I might not like it all the time but it will be worth it. I just want Jesus. I want Him to fill that void back up in me. To not look to the things of this world anymore to fill when I am empty. Because the only thing that should be filling me is Jesus's love. To rely on Him when I am feeling empty for He is my portion and He will fill my cup. God is doing something great in this season in my life and I think it is all about trust...

Song of The Seasons

I have been thinking lately about stuff... My future, my tomorrow, my past and etc. It was exactly a year ago that I was struggling with one of my most toughest seasons of my life. It was dealing with family issues beyond my hands. And at the time I never thought I would be strong and pull through but it wasn't through my strength it was all through God's strength it often surprises me at the moment I am telling God this life is too hard he is so faithful to pull me through. I often thought in the past there would be no way to see the other side of this situation but there is always a blue sky behind the storm clouds. It is funny to think that I wouldn't have made it through my situation last year but here I am now. GOD is good that is all I can think of tonight. He has helped me out so much to see NEW perspective when I have lost my "physical vision" He has given me His eyes to see a SPIRITUAL vision. To come to realize it I cannot wait to see what God is going to take me through next. And even if a storm comes or a calm season I know He will be there by my side every step of the way, to guide, protect and love me. I know I have nothing with out Him in my life, I am nothing with out Him. He is my everything ya sometimes I get side track and don't make right decisions but I am learning to trust Him with everything for He knows the plans for me ( Jeremiah 29:11 ) He is going to make His light shine through me. And I want Him to become everything in me because honestly we might be the only Jesus some people will ever see in this world so why be selfish and live for our selves. I know this is going to be an exciting season and so worth it too. I know I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the loving grace of my Jesus. So basically all I can say is God have YOUR way in me. I hope this encouraged you some how. :)

Hearing Check

Our God is so good, I cannot say that enough there are truly no words to describe just how good He is. Today in church the Pastor was talking about how God listen's to us. And over and over I have heard that but today it really sunk in. MY GOD listens to me! When I pray to Him, talk to Him it just isn't empty words floating in mid air. But He listens to me and understands me and loves it when He can hear my voice and it is the same way for you too! That our God isn't like any earthly emotion, He isn't going to tune us out when He gets bored with us, He isn't going to tell us to shut up if we get "annoying" but rather He gets all giddy when He hears our voice. It hurts Him when we don't talk to Him, usually when we don't talk to Him because something begins to separate us from Him. We take even one second to realize that something better is out there than God. God really does hate sin. Why because sin separates us from relationships. It separates us from God. Being separate from God we begin to get this twisted mind set that the more we sin the more we have to hid from God which then leads to us not talking to Him as often. We get caught up in this cycle of repetition of old sin, and old habits. Which often leads to us getting all hyped up about God after we get freed then pleading and crying out to Him when we fall hard again. So if our God loves us so much and wants to listen to us why do we put up that fence when we do sin, what makes us stop talking to God? He isn't just a thought in our heads HE IS GOD He knows us He knows our thoughts so why is it so hard to talk to him? When we are struggling with an issue, when we don't know what to say, when we just need a friend? I know I don't want my relationship with God to ever get boring and it shouldn't ever. I want it to be new and fresh each day! He is a funny God I know He has His serious moments but the more we spend time with Him the more we can learn His characteristics. The more we know about that the more we can share with other people about who God truly is. And all it takes is one small baby step of saying God what do you want to talk to me about right now. And He will show up yeah it might not be something you want to talk about or bring up but God only brings out the gunk so He can bring in the good. Lets stop being a chicken to talk to Him because when we call He will answer and He loves hearing us as His children call unto Him as a papa. Well I guess that Is all I have to say about that. I hope this has encouraged you and I hope you have a fabulous week.


God Bless

Heart to Heart

Well to start off this blog tonight I honestly don't know where to begin, I have noticed I am blogging alot lately but this blog isn't about me it is about what God is doing in me. I was at my summer interns today and we had a guest speaker and well the story goes we all had a paper heart and he tore his apart when he was telling us his testimony and at the end it was barely anything and well how much was left wasn't appealing to even give away. And metaphorically the paper heart represented out true hearts. And it got me pondering this thought how much of my heart am I giving God? I mean honestly can you say you are giving God right now 100% of your heart because I am not that is for sure. I think we get scared to give God OUR full attention our FULL trust our full EVERYTHING. We bring up the past situations where we have felt abandoned, lonely, mistreated, broken trust, abused, lied to... etc..... WE say but God you don't know how " I felt" in that moment in that situation... Actually he does He gave me the revelation tonight that truth be told I have never been alone. Not once or ever will I be alone. Lately my past has been coming up and I was wondering " God what are you trying to tell me" I thought I had dealt with my past but truth be told, God convicted me tonight and I had been plastering my past up with the hidden lies like I asked for forgiveness, I asked God to heal me before. But I hid my past so much that I did face to face deal with the issue it is the love of God that wants to heal it. God doesn't bring up the past for me to hurt but to rather say I am healing you redeeming you and changing you. Just when you think you cannot "heart change" any more God reveals something to you, you didn't know you buried in the depths of your soul. I think we often forget about the "past" because we lie to ourselves that "it is not that big of a deal, oh it can wait, I will wait for some one to prayer over me" and on and on an on. I don't want my past my hurt those "burdens" I have been unsuspectingly carrying around to stop me from fully experiencing the presence of the Lord. God knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows every strand of hair on our head He sees when we rise and fall. So why do we give him partial of our hearts when He knows what we have been through? What keeps us from thinking about Him every moment of the day? What is stopping us? Yes we have all been hurt, all have gunk we let no one see but why can't we just give God are full hearts weather gunk or black or stone or semi fallen apart. He can handle it because when we hand him a broken, bruised heart He loves us so much He will heal it back to a NEW creation. I think our heart are like a puzzle we try so hard to put the wrong pieces together just to get the job "done" we don't realize it is going to take more work to undo a mistake than rather taking time and putting it carefully together. Why do we put off so much when God brings up a heart issue " stop listening to that music, stop watching that show" He says that to us because He loves us. I know I don't want to deal with junk buried for years when I am 30 if God is bringing it up to me right now. I mean He brings up the junk the ugly and He makes it beautiful. But it also takes time. Like a puzzle you cannot do a 9000 piece jigsaw puzzle in 5 minutes neither can God mend your heart back together over night. It is going to take time. It is going to first start with the step do you trust God. Because if you start the healing process without trust, truth be told ( this has happened to me ) you will start off sky high then crash hard. With out trust there is no foundation of faith. Oh but yes: maybe your earthly father abused you, oh yes your experience in God's presence doesn't look like Billy Grahams the list goes on... So we put a wall up a say can't let you go beyond what I know about " TRUST" well to be frank we don't know what trust is. I don't that is a for sure one. To trust God with our hearts can only go one way that is healing, molding and rewarding. God is LOVE... So if we are not trusting Him because we have never known love, well God is Love simple as that. He sent His SON to die for us so WE could in return: love him but we are obviously human and we take that love and crumple it on the ground like a cheesy love note from a creeper guy. I think we get afraid to let God fully in our heart to reconstruct what needs to be reconstructed, because no one is perfect EVERY Single person was born into sin nature so there is not a possible way that you can say, well I am good nothing needs to be worked on in my heart, well what about that lady you flipped off while driving today, what about that thought you thought, none of us are perfect I know I am not. The next step is accepting the love, to be humble and say God you are the only thing I NEED in this life. To truly say your presence is enough for me. Your goodness is enough to sustain me in this life, I sometimes think what it would be like to be homeless, I have seen homeless people that love Jesus and think wow after losing everything you can still look to God and say that you love him? They know though that yeah they might have lost everything but the one thing they didn't lose was Jesus, because like earlier I was saying that our God will never leave us or forsake us, but it is rather us that turns our backs on him. To lay down our prideful picket fence that is "guarding" our heart and rather learn to let Jesus guard our hearts. To accept the fact that we all have screwed up but Jesus hasn't His love is PERFECT. To know, that yeah we are human but God says in Psalm 91 that we can find REFUGE UNDER him. WE don't have to work for His love, it isn't about a popularity contest but rather coming as we are. The last step I think is to keep the relationship up, once God does something incredible in your heart I think we get "emotionally" high off it for a while then we forget about it. We continue to live in sin and then eventually begin to build up hidden areas again. And then look we are back to square one. We gotta to learn that once God does something in us we need to try to refill what God has filled us with, with something that looks "better" at the moment than the presence of the Lord. I know I don't want to give the lord half of my heart or only what I feel like giving him, but rather to give him my all weather it is on a good day or a bad day. Because only GOD can make two things the dark turn to lovely and also make EVERYTHING work out for the good. I really hope this inspired you tonight! And if you are wondering how to encounter God simple step get on your knees and pray to Him, just say God I am here take me as I am.

God Bless

Hope Unseen

Unseen: we often link that word with unreal, impossible, fake and on and on. I think you get the picture but what about when we say a Hope Unseen what is the first thought that comes in your mind? I know for me it sounds like an oxymoron. Like shouldn't hope be visible at least the results? Sometimes we get so caught up in the after results actions we lose the heart action. Nothing can ever start with out a passion and and a desire. It has to start from the inside out though. You know we cannot see our hearts but we can see and feel the aftermath, beating etc. Maybe that is the same way with hope we can feel it but won't ever physically see but rather spiritually see it. TO see beyond our "natural" eyes and look through our heavenly eyes. To see through every situation every trial and tribulation that it is building us up in some way some form some how. Hope is dependent on faith with out faith you have nothing. For it says in the bible that we WALK by FAITH and never by SIGHT so shouldn't the same thing be for hope. To walk by faith and say God I don't know what tomorrow brings, I don't know what 2 years hold for me but it will work out for my good and to rely on that hope and the strength HE gives us each day. He doesn't just give it to us for it to sit in a shelf of our " religious mindset" but to fully RELY on that hope He has given us to trust that when He says in every situation He will work it out He means that. No matter how dark the day might look in our natural eyes our spiritual eyes can see past that and say that even dark situations are light to the lord ( some where in psalms ). Trust comes from Hope comes from Faith and Faith Comes from Jesus. So sometimes when you hear Hope Unseen lets think of not dead but alive because if it all goes back to Jesus we know that He isn't dead but ALIVE! So Unseen doesn't mean its not real or fake but alive and living and breathing in us and through us. I hope this inspired you a little bit and hoped it made sense.

God Bless

As Far as The Eye Can See

We all have asked this question before: why is this happening to me... Why it is such a little word but can take over an entire mindset if we don't watch it carefully. We often ask God the same question: God WHY are you doing this to me, WHY why WHY WHY WHY..... We get caught up in the moment and the emotions and say what is the use of trying or I don't get "why" God is taking me through this but it is too "hard" so I am going to give up. Instead of asking God why He is taking me through a season as of starting tonight of asking Him how, How is God going to work this out for His good in my life. How is He going to take control in this situation where I cannot see the sun because the clouds are in the way. But taking a new level of hope and saying God I may not know why this is happening but How would you handle this situation with your grace, love and mercy. I have been dealing with an issue with God lately learning to rely only upon his timing. I desire some things so bad but when God told me to wait for them, it is a tough season to walk through. But then God brings me to the verse Romans 8:28 This we know that God works ALL out for the good of those who love him and have been called according to HIS purpose. If that is in the bible then it is truth, plain and simple to the point. He will WORK EVERYTHING out for the good no matter what kind of situation it is, He is in control he knows every day that is ahead of us ( Psalms 139 ) so why do we keep asking God WHY this certain situation keeps arising keeps occurring in our lives if He already knows the end result? Why don't we start asking him HOW this certain situation is going to benefit, uplift us and refine our character? When we start looking through Heaven's eyes no longer will we desire the useless things of this world; sin and on and on.... I think the reason why we look into asking God why is because we find reassurance in knowing that we can sit and cry for a moment or a while, but I know God had bigger plans in store He wants us rather to sit and soak up self pity to leap forth and say that my God is building me up to be stronger. To be bold and say God this season in my life might be hard for the moment, but to say I trust you and this situation is building me up for MY Benefit. God also said in the Bible never would he test us beyond what we can bear those "WHY seasons" are a tester of how strong your faith actually is and if you are willing to pursue God when it is the dry season and the saturated season. But it is through those seasons that when you look to God and say HOW can you use me more, or HOW can I love you more ect. Your faith will grow stronger, the more our faith grows the more we will see Jesus in our daily lives. Our God is a good God and will never harm us or forsake us. We need to be a people who know how to say How God. Show me because I cannot do this alone in my own strength. So lets turn that "WHY" into a How :)

God Bless

Change for The Better???

Change.... It seems that is always happening in my life right now. I have been thinking about life and my friendships. Over the past few years I have become friends with some of the most amazing people I could ever ask for in my life. It has come almost to that milestone in the journey where they go off to college. I am bittersweet about this happening. I am so stoked to know they are following the voice of God yet scared to face a year alone here. But as I was contemplating these thoughts tonight God spoke to me. That it is all going to be ok. Because He told me tonight in this next year that I will get to reach out to the younger generation coming into my life. Because I think about it and that's what my friends did for me. I keep replaying the last 3 years of my high school experience. How freshman year I was on the urge of taking my own life to then meeting an amazing man of God his name was Gary who brought me to realize that my life was worth something, to bringing me to the church which that church has stood with me through so many storms to which brought me to knowing Jennae. Which coincidentally brought me to falling head over heels with Jesus. Yeah the boat ride hasn't been completely smooth but has been amazing. I was just thinking about how many encounters and Breakthrough and prayer meetings these two amazing people been through with me. It is a crazy thought that they will be going off to college soon and a part of me doesn't really want to say goodbye because they have been involved in the spiritual walk with me since I have been saved but in another way I hear the Lord telling me it is my time to step up and reach out to the incoming freshman and to let them know the Jesus that has drastically changed my life. I know this next season is going to be amazing I know that if the Lord has stood by my side for the past 3 years I know that no matter what happens this next year he is going to be with me. To know the reality is my friends won't be here but God will and if he moved these past 3 years he is MOST certainly going to move this next year. We have all heard this saying so many times "sometimes change is good" it is true so true. Because with out change we wouldn't have character and with out character we wouldn't have perspective and you get the picture. But maybe that is so true this next season when I thought all my character changing was done God shows up and says I am not done yet ;) Because of his love he won't ever stop working in me and I KNOW he has done incredible things and will continue I was thinking you know what would have happened if I didn't move to Washington? What if I stayed in Colorado then honestly I would have never met my friends, never been introduced to Breakthrough and probably wouldn't be saved and seen his love alive and active in my life. It ceases to amaze me that God knew I would move out here He knew I would end up with him and He knew that I would be writting this blog right now. But to also know no matter what tomorrow holds my God will be right there with me. And to know that soon my day will come to pursue the call upon my life but until then to serve one another in love because you never know whose life you could change when you show God's love. So blessings to Gary and Jennae thank you for all you have done you truely have blessed me :)

God Bless

One Chance at This

So it has been on my heart lately to really think about life. And what would happen if tomorrow would be your last day? We don't know when our last day is up we don't know when God will call us finally home. We hear all these songs about living your life to the fullest with NO regrets. But honestly how often do we fully take that to heart? It is so easy to do saying oh yeah me I am living my life to the fullest. Weather you give your money to a charity or help a homeless person, yeah it might be good deeds but to tell you the truth Good works won't get you into heaven. It is your heart behind those deeds. I don't want my life to be average I have decided that I am tired of living to the "normal" christian standard... It is time to go ABOVE and BEYOND what church defines as a "Christian" I am so sick of being caught up in sin and sitting on my butt doing nothing while watching, listening to how our "economy" is falling. I want to do something. I want to live my life to the fullest each day while having Jesus right by my side. I want to show my faith to others instead of hiding in it a clay bowl. I want to show people that you can truly live each day with the maximum potential that awaits you. Because honestly I don't think I would be satisfied if I died tomorrow I want to lead others to know this amazing Jesus I know. Sometimes in a world so dark as ours today we might be the only Jesus to people they will ever see. Sometimes when I am at work I think... What people will I see in heaven? I try to be my joyful self at work to let people know you don't have to be cranky all the time. I want others to see and fall in love with the Jesus I fell in love with. A time is coming where people are going to get their faith tested. Where some people are going to question who their God is but in times like these I know if you stand firm with Jesus he will come and bless you. He challenges your faith daily and ask's you to serve him with your full heart mind and soul. So many times we want to live each day to its fullest but choose often to ignore that call upon our lives. We say " oh God if that is really you then you will do this" Why Should we question what He is saying to us? I know I am getting so hungry and back in the swing of things to see Miracles happen I want to see God's power breakthrough to see heaven and earth collide. It just awes me how some people say there is no God. To just look at the darkened night sky and to see the stars and say nothing more nothing less. But to rather look up at the sky and ask did I live my full potential today? Because truth be told the more we get into the Sin nature the more we fall from God. The more we fall the more distance comes between us and His vision. Now don't get me wrong but His grace is sufficient for you. I know recently I have been struggling with me and boys. To not rely on a relationship or give any attention to being in a relationship but to focus my all on God and trust him. Because I noticed the more attention I gave to an earthly thing the more my attention got distracted from heaven. The reason we were created is to Love God and to be loved by him. WE cannot do that if we are distracted you cannot do both you cannot Be in Sin and Be in Heaven and visa versa. WE need to be a people who realize what we were meant to live for. To give Glory to God. It is so easy to say but so hard to do. It is hard when we say the "earthly" things look more compromising then the faith. Because it is easy to touch money, rewards, but hard to touch God. But it isn't about touching God it is about trusting God. Simple as that. Because the more we trust God the more we will hear from God. The more we hear from God the more we will see heaven come down to earth. The more our lives will be lived to the fullest because the more we have God in our lives than on 2 days a week. We need to realize that our God is God and the more we are in tune with him the more out pour will happen in the city and in the world. And when we listen to the voice of God someone's life could be dramatically changed. To know that when we give our fullest to Him he will bless us in ways so unimaginable. I am so excited to see what this next season has in-store for me and to see His power and His vision come to life inside of me. To say truly what am I living for and to answer Jesus, with no regrets. It is time for a generation to abide fully in the Father and He will fully abide in us. I want to make a difference and I am tired of "normal" being my label because I know I am a daughter of the most high and Heaven WILL collide with Earth...

God Bless

To Use or To Lose

Lets be honest, we have all used someone as a "friend" when we needed something at, least once in our lives right? Weather it was befriending that kid for a piece of gum or something more. Well let me ask you this how many times have you used God as "friend" just so you could get his help with a certain situation? I am being honest I know I have multiple times and sometimes I don't realize it but most of the time I do. Because being human I make mistakes too. And I use God when I need him. But sometimes don't maintain the relationship. I say when life is at the highest of times oh yes I love God yet I am still wrapped up some in the world and say I got this God. Yet when disaster strikes I am crying out and yearning for His attention and his help. The question I often ask myself is why am I not seeking his attention 24/7. He is God after all He isn't human and won't ever be, which means He won't ever act like a human. He is God it shouldn't have to be based off of a feeling by saying I am mad today I don't feel like giving God my attention or I am happy today I will worship Him today. It is about serving Him on a daily basis with your own will. God didn't make us to be caught up in the motions but rather He made us to live with His divine purpose and His heart in us. He created us to serve Him and to know Him more. But we cannot know Him more if we don't have a relationship with Him. Let me ask you this do you remember that kids name in middle school you asked gum for prolly not. It goes the same way with our God. WE cannot get to know Him if we don't put forth effort to understand His heart more. Where we pick up our feet and realize we NEED him on a daily basis not just every Sunday or every time a severe storm hits us. WE gotta embrace that our God is good and He is full of love. I think so many times the "church" says this is how your relationship with God is suppose to look. We get so caught up in that it becomes a religious thing. And soon after we promised God we would spend 30 min with Him daily, each day it starts to get shorter and shorter. We need to realize that HE IS GOD and HE IS WORTHY. Its not because of what we feel or what our day was like but it is because He is our Father, Maker, Healer, Provider, and so much more. Let us stop being distracted with the things of earth because they shall perish but let us focus on the HEAVEN BOUND because those are the things that will last for Eternity. Sometimes after a long dry season with the Lord we don't know how to pick ourselves back up, well here is a thought maybe you don't need to pick yourself up maybe this is a season of letting the Lord carry you. There is no better way of getting to know him than through the embrace of His love. The more you seek the Lord the more you will find him... It is like any other relationship you have to talk to the person and engage conversations to have a healthy relationship. Getting to know God more doesn't require you to pray for 5 hours straight with complete silence. It means just talking to God about whatever, like how the sun is beautiful today or your meals or just random stuff. God isn't boxed inside the church He doesn't just show up on Sundays and makes you suffer for the rest of the 6 days with out Him... NO It clearly states in the bible that Our God will never leave us or forsake us. So since this is true why do we not accept the fact that God is with us in our work, in our homes and in our cars. Sometimes we need to realize how much God means in our lives. I know with out Him in my life I would probably not be here today. It takes time though for a relationship with God. No relationship will happen over night. God wants this relationship for a life time though. He wants your undivided attention why? SO HE can bless you with the things of heaven, the fruits of the spirit. The more we PUT IN to Him the more blessings HE Will OUT POUR onto us. Our God isn't just that "friend" He is God and it is time we realize what are the things in my life I am giving my most attention too at the time FACEBOOK, Texting, TV, ect. Give to God and you shall receive abundantly. Give Him your attention and your time and He will bless you. And by time it doesn't have to be a whole 6 hours because God sees your motives behind ALL our your actions. He knows your rising and your leaving He knows every single thought. So why don't we start giving God our everything not because we have to our, because we are "required to" but rather because we want to get to know God more.

God Bless
