God's Girl

This is an old sight, but you can catch my new blog at https://mandan21.tripod.com/blogagain/

Welcome!

My name is Manda and I'm glad you're visiting.  I was born and raised in Texas, and I'm very proud of that.  I attend Texas Tech University. 
What I'm even more proud of is being a Christian.  God can get me through anything.  He's with me all the time.  He's there beside you too. 

I'm on the small side, but I'm energetic and love to laugh.  I have a disease called Neurofibromatosis 1.
It can be a pain, but I know God can use it for His glory.
I'll let you know a little about me as I go and provide a passage or verse from the Bible occasionally.

God's Word:

10/14/2006
Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my sould thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
 
I got angry again- begging God to tell me His plan.  Wondering why He's testing me like He is.  It all seems so hopeless.  Then, something inside me fell. I couldn't remember the last time I just wanted to see Him- to hear His voice. I began to weep.  I realized that He was all I needed, and I began to beg for a relationship with Him that was set on fire.  I wanted to wake up with excitement to get to live it for Him.
I doubt God.  I've doubted His whe He has said.  I've doubuted his existance.  Is that bad?  Well, it's never good for a Christian to doubt that God is real.  You know what, though?  When I gave my life to Him over a decade ago- I gave it to Him.  I didn't let Him borrow it.  I gave it up.  I can't take it back.  He won't let me.  When I doubted Him, He said, "tough." You see, He always believed in me.  Always.  He never gives up on me.  He loves me.  And He loves you. 
Life's very rough for some people.  God can seem very mean.  But God cares more about your soul than your comfort.  He delights in you.  You-not y'all- but you.  Singular. 
Are you thirsty? 
 
Habakkuk 1:5
Look at the nations and watch-- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.
Think you're not good enough?  Alone, you're not, but with God, you can do anything! He can do wonders with you. Not just something cool, but something so amazing that it is beyond your wildest dreams!  In this the world will see how awesome and powerful God really is.  They'll see His glory.  Will you let Him use you?

One of the benefits of living here: a beautiful Texas sunset.

I think lighting makes or breaks a picture.  Here, the lighting was exquisite and could have only come from God.

If you have anything to ask or add, let me know.
