Change…..
It can be a scary word to some but to others it can be exciting and adventurous.
For me, it brings that exciting feeling like getting a new bike for Christmas.
I love it and it has been happening all around me lately.
I moved and I am now renting a room with a new family. It is such a blessing to see how a different family, other than my own, works and to prepare myself for independence when I leave in January. Plus I get new brothers who are absolutly adorable! I know some of you may be thinking….aren’t you suppose to be saving money? Well I was blessed with an almost next to nothing monthly rent and I firmly believe this is where God is calling me in preparation for the race.
I have been tired of living the life of a boring American who is consumed by her own desires. I have decided to do something. I want to make a difference in the world around me. I want to follow God’s will for my life whole heartedly. This has lead me to potentially taking on a new aspect of ministry that involves my heart and passion. Plus speaking in front of the youth at my church which is something I have never done, none the less actually volunteered to do!
I have also decided to stop being lazy and get in shape…lose weight…etc. I have been saying that for almost 5 years now and it is time. But I know that I can only do that with the joy of the Lord as my strength. I can only accomplish this feat with the Holy Spirit leading me and giving me the power.
And finally, I have decided that I need to stop being so stagnant in my walk with the Lord. Yes, I love him with my whole heart but yet I neglect him. I go throughout my ‘busy’ life and sometimes don’t give him one thought. My desire is to be so in love with Jesus that any one who sees me can’t help themselves to ask why I am who I am. With that I pray for joy, undivided devotion and to live out every single moment that God has given me.
Change……...I long to be changed, and while others say that you really never change, I know that with God all things are possible. And that if I truly seek God with all my heart he will give me my desires. I long to be changed into the likeness of Christ.
