Beauty from Ashes

christina is the name. i have a love for words, a good book, and the findings of new music. the beach is my peaceful getaway. doing nothing with people i love is grand. acoustic guitars soothe my soul. i appreciate creative photography. my mind is filled with countless thoughts. challenged with new things each day. i am a broken young woman redeemed by her Heavenly Father.

You make beautiful things…” 

I studied Genesis 1-2 for 3 hours last night in my Pentateuch class, and I had a whole new perspective of how this world was created. 

I’ve never looked at the story of Creation like I did last night. My God just spoke the world into being. No chaos, no evolution.  He created order in this universe. He separated the heavens and earth. He made the stars in the sky. The land and sea. His breath gave life. It seems so simple, but to think that He turned absolutely nothing, into this beautiful world. How could I not worship and praise my Creator? Without Him, none of this would exist.

Life Verse for 2012.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted, but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. 

Isaiah 40:30-31

Trust His timing. Renew your strength. 

For Christmas my older brother framed this scripture verse, along with the tag line, and gave it to me. He gave each person in our family a verse that he prayed would be an encouragement to us in the year 2012. And this one is definitely an encouragement to me. 

In the year 2012 and even in the years after, I will trust the Lord’s timing and renew my strength.

Philippians 4:13

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. 

Yes. It’s a famous scripture. 

But really, take the time to soak in the truth. 

His strength. Not ours.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good.
— Titus 2:11-14
