Honestly, 2010 has already been a year of struggle. I have had to remind myself daily that what won't take me down, will make me stronger! So many days so far in the infancy of this year I have had to reach for much greater strength than was in me. When I am at the end of my strength, I know my God is there.
One of the things I have done, diligently, is spend every day with God. I have been following Christ for 19 years now, so I know the importance of taking time to read the Bible and pray. It is just that this year, already, the quiet, still time I spend in the early mornings, has become my salvation. Truly, I hunger for my time with Jesus. It has become more than just my Christian duty... it is my lifeline.
2010 is going to be an adventure for me, and I am going to share it with you. I am striving for the much needed strength that He gives to me daily, and the concrete evidence in my life that I am becoming the woman that He wants me to be.
Come along... join me in my adventure, but make it your own!
Psalm 5:1-3
O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I will never pray to anyone but You. Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly.
I am not clocking in and out here, in my time together with God... it is all about developing the relationship that I have with my loving Creator. He longs for me to willingly come to Him, love Him, and choose to spend time with Him. So here I am LORD...use me today as YOU will!
