Often, I really hope that when I blog I have great and wise things to say.
But, honestly, that rarely happens. And I mean rarely.
I know I need to blog.
I know I need to write stuff out, even if it seems meaningless and pointless at times. I need this blog.
Why do I need this blog?
I process things through writing. I always have.
So, not only will this blog be a way for me to share fun stories and silly thoughts, but it’s also going to be a way for you to see my raw emotions. My goal is to be as vulnerable as possible, as open as possible, and as broken as possible.
So that’s going to mean that I’m not really always going to have great things to tell you. But I’m going to be as faithful as I can be to share myself–my life, my feelings, my thoughts–with you.
So what does that mean for this post in particular?
I read something this morning in the Word that I want to share.
Psalm 54:6
“Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.”
As I read through that verse over and over, I was realizing that it was becoming the prayer of my heart for the day.
I wanted to willingly sacrifice to the Lord. It was becoming the desire of my heart to submit to Him and bring Him thanks and glory. For He is good.
I hope that this is my desire every day. That every day I will wake up ready to willingly sacrifice whatever the Lord wants me to. I know that it’s not going to happen, because I know my own sinfulness. I know that I will be selfish and mean and prideful. But I want to see the Lord sanctify me. I want to see Him change me into a person who will willingly sacrifice.
May my heart be drawn into deeper dependence upon the Almighty. May He be exalted. May He be glorified.
