Getting started...

Today starts a new adventure in my life.

God has laid it on my heart to start documenting my relationship with Him....to start actually making Him the #1 priority in my life....to start actually trusting Him with all aspects of my life....to start actually sharing His good news with those He puts in my path.  And I want to set this example for my children....my life's greatest accomplishment would be for my children to see Christ when they look at me.

I am challenging myself to seek and study God's word daily....followed by intimate prayer.  The challenge will be making the time for this, when I rarely have downtime with a 2 year old and 4 month old.  And when I do have downtime, I just want to veg-out or sleep.  I must fight my flesh, and lose some sleep OR wait just a bit longer to watch my show that was DVR'd - because making time for God Almighty is just a bit more important than that extra hour of sleep or catching up on my favorite shows.

This life is a gift...and it is not mine to live any 'ole way I want to.  I breathe and exist because the Creator of the Universe gives air to my lungs and causes my heart to beat.  I don't want to just "exist" anymore.  I want to surrender...I want my life to be an example of Christ....I want to live only for this awesome God that made me.  I want my eyes, my hands, my feet, my heart, my soul, my thoughts, my desires, my mouth - I want all of me to be pleasing to Him.

I am writing this blog to keep record for myself, but also to be a place that (hopefully) people can be turned toward God.  This life is hard, this world is messed up, this body will only age and then die....but through all that is wrong and difficult on this earth....my God is bigger.  I am praying God will use this to show how mighty and perfect He is....especially in the times I am so weak and flawed.


Pray that God would be glorified through this blog!
