I woke up today knowing that Jesus has my heart and that I live for him and no one else. For christmas my parents got me this book, "Lady in Waiting." I knew I had to wait for Mr. Right but does anyone really know how to wait for him? I did not know what to expect when going into reading this book. I found out that I was a little nervous like what if I fail or what if I can't be this woman God wants me to be. I prayed about it and realized how that was the enemy trying to get at me and stop me from pursuing the Lord. We need to pursue the Lord before we pursue anyone else.
My walk with Jesus changes everyday. I think that its a good thing for change. For a long time I did not like change and was shy with my relationship with Christ. As I start this new year I want to be more open to the people around me with my relationship with this wonderful man.
I want to hold myself accountable of being more confident, loving, and PATIENT with and in the Lord. This blog is going to be difficult for me because I don't just open up my relationship with Christ to everyone. But like I said it's a new year and a new me!
I started reading a devotional on becoming a confident woman of Christ. (I am reading multiple books right now). Today's reading was about not being afraid of stepping out of the boat and walking on water with Jesus. I can not be afraid of this new journey I have started. I have to trust God and know that he is going to make something beautiful out of this journey. So if you are reading this and thinking this doesn't make sense, bare with me I am knew to blogging and being so open to you. I hope that you can start your own journey with Christ in whatever it may be to take a new leap of faith in your walk with Christ.
Happy New Year!!!
I am so proud of you for taking this huge leap of faith step. As you know to expose yourself your inner feelings to the world could be risky. But through prayer, scripture, church and your will to speak from your heart is awesome. Walking with our Lord daily is so rewarding and uplifting. To confess your belief opening is an great gift.
ReplyDeletePlease remember Christ is counting on you as well as you are counting on Christ.
