The Rise Up Effect

To live for God, and further His cause on the earth.

Hey Girls!!!

Camp is coming up soon and I know everybody is excited and ready for all the Amazing Things God is gonna do for us and through us! Well, I haven't done a post in a while and I just wanted to check in with everybody and share something that has been on my heart.

Sometimes feeling lonely and lost can be the perfect opportunity for the Devil to come and mess with you, especially with you thought. After graduating from high school, I pretty much lost touch with all of my "friends". Mainly because I knew that they were not people i should be hanging around but I hadn't really made any new friends. For a while i was feeling like I had no one, no one to call when I was sad, no one to understand the things I was going through. I felt stuck and instead of running to the One who knew me best and I kept it all in. God was waiting for me to come to him but I was convinced that all this pain and hurt was what something I deserved.

The devil was putting thoughts into my head saying that "I was worthless" and "not good enough to have friends", and instead of ignoring it and putting him in his place, I accepted the lies and started saying it about my self. Listening to the lies the devil told me was tearing my relationship with God apart but He was still patiently waiting for me to come to him.

Just recently it hit me, that there is no way that God doesn't want me to be this sad and stuck person and that these lies were not true about me, the lies were of the devil and he needed to be stopped. I had to break through the strongholds of these lies and I ran!! Ran as fast as i could into the Arms of God. He was waiting for me the whole time, just waiting to heal my heart with his love and mercy! How Great is our God that even we are miles away from him, He still accepts us just the way we are. He will always be there waiting patiently as we find our way to him!

Matthew 11:28- "Then Jesus said,' Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest"

Hope this is Inspiration for any of you! You are loved by the God Most High!!!
Love you Girls!!

King of All Days
by Hillsong United
In your surrender
As you lay down your life
You took up a sinners cross
And your live rescued mine

In this redemption
Love and mercy display
Lifting my eyes to see
That your truth never fails

Lord of the heavens
King of all days
Without you my world slips away
Redeemed by your mercy
Consumed by your grace
Now I live for you

I'm found in the arms of love
Your love it has saved my soul
I'll run to your arms of love
Your life's gonna lead me home

Glorious savior
In your light I am free
If things of this world will fail
Still you're all that I need

Lord of the heavens
King of all days
Without you my world slips away
Redeemed by your mercy
Consumed by your grace
Now I live for you

I'm found in the arms of love
Your love it has saved my soul
I'll run to your arms of love
Your life's gonna lead me home

(And) at your cross
I lay my burden
At your feet
Where your love covers
All I've done
Now I walk with you lord

I'm found in the arms of love
For your love it has saved my soul
I'll run to your arms of love
Your life's gonna lead me home

WOW You are amazing! I am so proud of you! Yep I know just what you are talking about! That stuck ickyness that is dark and heavy... lies, lies, lies... Identifying the lies then replacing them with the truth, praising Him for who He is and running towards Him works every time... not saying it's easy or we feel like it but it is the answer!! Nice Work, Beautiful!
Love you Janel
