Learning to live for HIS glory

6.   Oh Jesus, You know all that’s running through my head…its all a little crazy.   But God, You are in control.   Fix my gaze on You.   May my focus in all of this remain fixed.   You are the Beloved One of my heart. 7.   Well, my Jesus, It looks like I’m probably actually going to meet this guy.   C.   I pray, Lord, that You would give me a heart of love and grace as I think about and enter into this meeting Friday.   Keep my eyes fixed on You, and on Your gospel.   Lord, You are good.   Thank You for being the One who sovereignly directs our lives.   Because You are the Lord of my life and C’s life, I know we can trust You to work in this meeting or not meeting for Your honor and glory. 8.   Thank You for my friends, Jesus!   Encourage their hearts with Your gospel. 10.   Today just feels a little crazy, and I really have no idea what I’m getting myself into, but You are my God, and its in You ...

1.   Jesus, sweet Savior, I choose again today to abide in Thee.   Remind me each moment of today by Your Spirit living inside, of that choice. 5.   Show me how to serve and love and give my life for others.   I want to live a life that counts. 7.   Thank You for the pure white beauty of the snow, and the reminder it is that I am clothed in Your perfect righteousness.   Thank You that I can come and stand before Your throne and be found blameless! 13.   God of the ages, You’re the God of my life.   Thank You.   You work in the insane and crazy stories and You work in the mundane stories just the same.   Thank You for choosing me…for choosing to work in me!   I love You dearly, and I’m glad to be Yours. Later… I realize that if You’re going to receive glory my life is not going to be easy, and I’m okay with that because I know that You will grant the grace, wisdom, and strength I need for each moment. 15. ...

It's been oh so good to read back over this  To see what God was doing in my life a year ago. He is at work, answering prayer, And I am so privileged to be the Father's chosen daughter! 4.   I’m glad to be getting back to teaching the girls today.   Please guide my words this morning though, and use the mirror of Your Word in my life.   We need Your power, I can’t influence hearts as You can!   Give them good questions, Lord, and me wisdom and discernment for answers. 7.   God Most High, In the middle of my weakness, my mess, You reach out to change me and make me more like You.   I’m blessed to be Your daughter, blessed to call You Savior, thankful for Your love! 9.   Use Your Word in just the way my soul needs it today?   You know best! 12.   My heart feels weighed down…           Joy feels just beyond reach.          ...

As I start to review the year and what God has done, January's journal is MIA.  So instead I'm starting with February.  It's been a crazy year, but I'm looking forward to this time spent looking back, and reflecting on what my Savior has done as He continually works to perfect the work He has started in me.  It is my hope and prayer that this peak inside my walk with Him will draw you closer to the Savior and His glorious gospel! 5.   Jesus, You are the Lover of my soul.   You are the Keeper of this heart.   Grant wisdom in relationships I pray.   Thank You for Your love. 6.   I feel…I don’t know, stagnant?   Just kind of ugly, unsure of myself, without direction.   Useless.   I need Your grace today.   Everyday, actually.   I don’t want to just float through life.   I want to live with purpose.   Not shallow, but not so confident to come across as a know it all.   Oh Jesus, I want this life to ...
