When I lose my way
and I forget my name
Remind Me Who I Am!
In the mirror all I see
is who I don’t wanna be
Remind Me Who I am!
In the loneliest places, when I can’t
remember what Grace is…
*Jason Gray*
How easy I can forget who I belong too and what I am fighting for.Thank God for sisters in Christ (a sista in Christ, is a sista for life!)who shake you when you need a wake up call and remind you why you joined the battlefield in the first place.
That little evil, loser of an enemy knows my weaknesses. He knows how to make me feel defeated and weak. And man ,he can distract me and move my focus on things that are such a waste of time.
“The thief’s purpose is to kill, steal and destroy.”
John 10:10
Ain’t nobody got time for that!!!!
Thank you Lord for reminding me today what I am fighting for and why I followed your call in the first place. You gave me my past, present and future to bring hope, love, tears of compassion and many hugs to many women and children that are chained and lost in the darkness. Over and over again I want to fight for justice, redemption and freedom of lost souls that cannot even see a glimpse of heaven right now.
I am not here to just fill a place, or just to be a number. God has chosen me for a purpose and I know it. My purpose is different than anyone elses purpose. My God written life story will be His own masterpiece, painted by the most creative Creator of all things. It is so easy to get hung up on other people’s stories and perfect images, distracting me from the race I am running.
“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. “
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
I will put on that armor and fight the good fight. Discipline, endurance and perseverance are my constant companions. I didn’t sign up for this to be distracted by the world, I didn’t give my life to Christ so I can now look around instead of up! I will soak in His grace, boast in my weakness and keep my eyes on the good, good Father who will make all things work according to His will.
The danger and war my squad mates and I will encounter in the next 11 months will bring us to our knees and will sometimes make us feel helpless. I think I have struggles now but I believe that once I am on the field satan and spiritual warfare will be rampant everywhere. Unity and focus on Christ will be crucial to stand tall. But why be afraid! I already know the end of the story. Greater is the One than he who is in the world. And that is why I know who I am!
Love Jen
