i just want to trust you, Jesus.

i drove home in the thickest fog of my life...
Scary thick fog. Couldn't see but 3 of those little
dash lines separating the two lanes.
Then i almost hit 2 deer... it was scary...
i saw God in it though. Teaching me a lesson. He's constantly teaching me! I couldn't be more thankful. My trip just reminded me of faith. There are a million things going on in my life right now. Just so many areas where i have to trust Christ. i mean of course i don't have to, but does it ever make sense not to trust Him? NO! i could not see through this fog to see if i needed to turn soon, if the road was just straight, if there were deer in the road... haha. i just literally had to trust.


I want to trust Christ! I want to trust that I will:
*be re-admitted into K-State
*seize the opportunities that i am given this summer
*get all my housing situations worked out
*live every day for Him!
i just want to have complete trust. faith. hope.
It's possible!



Let me leave with these lyrics from Hillsong... AMAZING!!!
"Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I walk from nothing to earth into Eternity"
BREAK MY HEART FOR WHAT BREAKS YOURS!!!

Peace i leave with you;
my peace i give to you;
not as the world gives,
do i give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
nor let it be fearful.
John 14:27


There are just some verses that bring comfort. It's just a good promise, you know? i've been so encouraged lately. Which is interesting. i'm not surrounded by many Christians. i work at the restaurant with so many non-Christians. It's so challenging to me to live for Christ and strive to be a great example. It's so hard! But wow... yesterday, God was everywhere. It was just one of those days where i could pracitcally feel the presence of God! So, so cool. It's just so cool too how Spring makes me happy :) Shows growth in the trees, flowers, grass, etc... and reminds me how much i want to grow in Christ. But i'm so ready... so excited to keep pursuing Him!

Random prayer that i thought was AWESOME!

O, Lord, whom to know is to love, I beseech you to increase in me the knowledge of your truth. In the truth which I know, establish me; whatever I ought to know teach me; in truths in which I waiver, strengthen me; in things in which I am deceived, correct me; in things hard to understand, guide me; and from untruths, deliverance. Send out your light and your truth, and let them lead me, until I know as I am known.Amen.
Common Book of Prayer

Life.

Without Him:
i'm useless.
i'm scared.
i'm un-settled.
i'm not me.
i'm a coward.
i'm so many more things... but i am nothing.
He infuses my life. He richly blesses, and He doesn't hesitate to teach me! 

This hillsong song... i'm not even sure what it's called. But basically i listened to it like 7 times in a row in my car today. i wanted to shut my eyes and lift my hands, but i think that's against the law when you drive :)

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now i live to bring Him praise.

i love those words!
Then there's this section:

All my delight is in you Lord. 

Jesus- i want to live to bring you praise! i'm so far from where i want to be... but He lavishes grace on me... wow.

Not good... not bad... learning!

I see so much within me that isn't at all who i truly am.

He is so patient with me. How He does it, i do not know! i got so down this weekend. Because i see things i'm missing out on, because life is so different from how i imagined it. But i have so much to be thankful for. i do.

i love people. i would love to sit down with a stranger everyday and get to know them. Not just a casual How are you? But a true conversation. i'm genuine in my love toward people... maybe that's hard to tell. i'm not sure.

Oh... there's a new piercing i want really bad. It might be too weird though!

You'd think i would have stopped posting on here since no one reads it, but i enjoy it every so often. Especially when i'm overwhelmed with our Savior and want to get it out...

i was talking to a friend yesterday... it has been hard for me to see God in my life lately. Not only have i not looked like Him, but i decided that it would be cool to try to figure things out myself. That obviously did not work. Funny how after following Christ for a while i still make mistakes and choose not to trust Christ. i thank Him for His patience with me... and His grace. Where would i be without it?

I was just now reading in John 15...
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. vs.4

i am nothing without my sweet Savior... and i love that!

trust: 1 a: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something b: one in which confidence is placed

This is what God has been working on in the life of Meghan Poore. Trusting that He'll bring a job my way, and it'll be just for me. Trusting that He'll bring encouraging friends into my life that are true.

i prayed and have been praying that God would test my faith... scary. But, i want my faith to continue growing. He is so good to me!

Classes are SO hard! i used to love school, now all i can think of is traveling, speaking spanish, and the summer :) i am praying though, daily... that i will not become complacent. i am in Manhattan for a reason!

He is faithful.
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
Psalms 16:2

FAITHFUL HE IS

I love being reminded of God's love over and over.

This weekend was SO good. i was able to go hiking in the beautiful Manhattan hills and go 4-wheeling and hang out with a good friend. i just love it when i see things like nature and relationships and i'm reminded how everything is praising God. It's a neat thing. He is so faithful... even when my car won't start and life seems too much, He is still my stronghold.
