Blessed be his name!
Recently I've been having a lot of thoughts going through my head, thoughts such as 'Where is my life going?' or 'What can I do to please to God?'. These questions have been running over and over in my head the past few weeks and I feel it's God speaking to me saying 'Use your talents which I have given you to bless others.' Last night I got a text mesage (or txt msg) from a person who has been a total blessing to me recently saying that God has been speaking to her to tell me that I am going to do great things in my life. Now, I have never recieved a message like that before and to hear that has really got me thinking about what I can do to please the Lord.
Just two nights before I recieved that message I wrote and composed my first song. I was simply lying on my bed with my guitar and within about 10 minutes I had a complete song. The lyrics describe how I've longed for a love, an eternal love that would never fade. the first verse goes;
'I've waited a long time for an answer,
I stood in the darkness of the night.
I longed for peace to reign in my heart,
But I never knew it was so close.'
The chorus then sings out my joy to have the Lord in my life and how much he has blessed me;
'And you lift me up and now you take control,
You gave me life and blessed me with these robes.
And I'll forever bow to your throne,
Your my King, your my life, your my all.'
I feel God is speaking to me through his music and crying out for me to use it to his glory. I feel this is the beginning of the Lord taking control of my life and using it to his name.
I just want to say to anyone out there who feels they have no talents just let the Lord take control of your life and he will show you them.

Hey Justy!
Rosi here! Just want to encourage you that it is so clear to see the hand of God working in your life! And I have no doubt that he will use your life in amazing ways for His glory! Cant wait to see His plans being worked out in your life! Keep it up! Ive been so blessed by getting to know you over Reach Out, Reach out has really helped me draw closer to God again and has reminded me that 'Better is one day in His courts than thousands elsewhere!' Praise the Lord! Walk with Him always!
Love in Christ

wow. what can i say. your blogs have only just begun and i am amazed. a bit like your walk with God. your still so near the beginning and yet you have travelled so far with Him steering you. i have been so blessed to watch you grow over the years to this point and have been so touched by your journey over the last months. i hope you know that there are many people who you can call on to talk to from raffrey and reachout, and my shoulder is always here. i hear its quite comfy dont you know. you have been a great inspiration to me and so many others. even those you think need bribed to listen are being impacted by your walk with God. i just read rachels tears on your reccomendation. (always good to be crying by the poolside in mallorca), as her father says we need to walk the talk and that shines from you.
love ya
