Consumed by God

By -
I've often struggled with the idea of being consumed by God. I know its what i want, but what does that really mean? "For the Lord, your God is a consuming fire" Deuteronomy 4:24. God has a plan and a reason for everything...at least, thats what I believe. How do i live with that in mind? He is everything. He is a jealous God and he wants to be every part of our lives. This song has hit me like a brick wall for about the past 9 months or so.


God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything

Natasia Lukiewski May 21, 1987- April 17, 2010 RIP beautiful girl. You are truly missed. Your smile could always brighten even the darkest day and your love of life was inspiring. Its so sad to see someone so young and beautiful and full of life be taken so early. God did some amazing things through tashy and he is continuing to work through her death. Remember...that each day is a gift. Understand...that this life is not about us. This life is about bringing glory to God. See... how God blesses you each and every day. and Know...that the God of the Universe has a plan specifically for your life...if you'll just let him have it. He loves You...He has a plan...and its a good plan. " This is my temporary home It's not where I belong. Windows and rooms that I'm passi' through. This is just another stop, on the way to where I'm going. I'm not afraid because I know this is my Temporary Home."

Here it is, my heart...

One of my very favorite passages of scripture is Isaiah 43 . It's a really beautiful passage talking about how the Lord is with us through everything. I flipped to it in my bible the other day and found a question that I had written on a sticky note and put near the passage that just said "What does it mean to trust God?" Doing the math, I must have written that note about two years ago. I grew up in church. I knew I was supposed to trust God and I knew he was my savior, but what did trusting God REALLY mean? How was that supposed to manifest itself in my life?   Little did I know, that God was about to answer that question in a big way.  There has never been a time in my life where I did not want kids. I had so many dolls as a child and constantly practiced being "mommy."  I remember when my first nephew, Sam, was born. Suddenly, there was a kid that I was related to and I just could not get enough of him. Seeing him figure out the world and learn the Truth...

JJ's Story

This story was posted here on HopeMommies.org My husband, Josh, and I started trying to get pregnant in January of 2017, and it took us almost two years to get pregnant with our first baby. We found out at 12 weeks that our sweet baby girl didn’t have a heartbeat anymore. We were completely devastated. While attempting to heal from our first loss, we decided to start trying again right away because we didn’t know if it would take a while again. To our great surprise and delight, I was pregnant again after our first month of trying.  The first 34 weeks of pregnancy were so smooth. My husband is the youth pastor at our church, and we felt the Lord telling us early on to be very open with the church through our journey to parenting. They were with us through infertility and miscarriage, and now our whole church was rejoicing with us at the news of our pregnancy. I had the most beautiful baby shower, decorated the cutest nursery, and took maternity photos to document my bump....
