Becoming the Woman God wants me to be...

  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!
