Poem by Me


 So I've been reading lots of blogs, and watching lots of spoken word.
 I've come up with new ideas and was reminded to keep God first.


 I always knew writing and expressing was my calling.
 I didn't know how He'd use it so I started to write.
 To write about experiences and all HE has done.
 To tell you about my life and the things HE made right.
 Not to brag about me as if I did it alone, but to point you to Christ, the one who died for me and for you,
 so that we wouldn't have to.

 Its a matter of life or death and I need to warn you.
 You're headed nowhere fast and your chances of dying are 1 out of 1.
 You need to know there is more to life than what you've been living.
 Salvation is free, His grace, love and mercy,
 You can be forgiven.
 I don't know what else He will do with my life,
 but I want to continue about Him to write.
 I don't want to place limits on what He could do.
 His thoughts are higher, His plans are better.
 I want to be used and I want to love YOU...

 I want you to see a story of grace, a person so broken and full of mistakes
 who experienced betrayals and lots of heartbreaks.
 But who was changed one day when offered a second chance.
 She didn't have to be what she had been, or keep on the same path.
 I was loved for I was, what I'd been and could become.
 He loved me so freely and repaired my heart.
 Changed my mind and my life, and set me apart.

 You too can experience a love so great....
 you come as you are and you won't leave the same.
 His love for you conquered it all.
 He sent his Son to die for you, and rise on the third day
 So not even death could separate.
 He loved you then, He loves you now
 He's waiting, He's calling you out of the crowd.

 Once you make the decision to accept Him in your heart,
 that's where YOUR story of grace and redemption can start!

Bye Twenties, Hello 30!

As I sit here on the last day of my twenties, I have had a lot of time to look back in awe of what God has done and only be grateful for the life I have lived so far!  I used to look at 30 as such a significant milestone and honestly even one where my youth is fading, yet lately I am embracing it and looking forward to all God holds as all my expectations for my 20s blew me away! Lately, I know every day is a gift to be lived at it's fullest. It's an opportunity to seek more of Jesus, love others and bring Him glory in all I do. And thats exactly what I plan to do in my 30s as well.  I started my 20s being a mother of an active 1 year old boy, and celebrating 5 years of marriage. To say we took the fast track is an understatement. We lived at my parents house and only looked forward to home ownership. That was accomplished! We became home owners and parents of another baby girl by the time I was 23. At the same time, my life was radically changed when ...

Overflow?

I started 2019 in Colorado! Seeing snow for the first time, enjoying friends who became like family. Hopeful for what lay ahead. Optimistic at the word that would describe my year: overflowing! I welcomed my thirties surrounded by love and my husband throwing me the greatest surprise party yet. and though I don't mean to sound like some ungrateful brat that complains and whines, looking back at almost half a year now I cannot seem to find this "overflow" of joy I thought I'd be experiencing. To be honest, its been quite the opposite. That kinda going through the motions- trying to smile at life- hoping no one asks me any questions- type of feeling. And what's even scarier? That up until now, I never knew what that felt like. What's even more puzzling? I didn't even realize I felt this way til a few weeks ago I sat in church and as I prayed about so many things troubling my mind, it came to me. In a song. I started humming- and in my head sin...

Write The Vision

Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For so long I've held on to that verse! and to the vision I felt God gave me long ago. 10 years ago to be exact when I found the one whom my soul loves- and the one in whom I have freedom, and an abundant life. Since that time, I knew He would use every broken detail, every lonely night, every painful story in my life- for His glory. and there is nothing that I desire more then to allow Him to do so. I started my blog at theworldaccordingtomeli.blogspot.com 6 years ago, to move in that direction. & to encourage others with what happened in my world and what God is always teaching me. But for a while now I feel it limited it to me, and to my world exclusively. because I don't live for me, I have used the hashtag on my instagram for years now: #LiveForMore I truly believe my life did not begin...
