I am amazed at how constant He is in my life--never changing. He blesses my heart to know that even when I am so tired and weak, He becomes my strength. When I put Him on the back-burner yet again in my life, that He is still there waiting for me to put Him back where He belongs. Afterall it was my choice to put Him there in the first place.
I think so many times (at least from my own experience) we get caught up in everyday life, when our "everyday life" should consist of Him consistently. :) We need to make sure we are putting in our time to get to know Him. He wants to see how much we love Him by how much time we spend WITH Him. He needs to be number one, those dishes in the sink can wait an hour, the laundry doesn't have to be started first, and the TV show that comes on at 9 doesn't need to dictate how I spend my time. I got stuck in this mess, now I am trying to get out of it. This life I am learning takes a lot of DISCIPLINE. Which is definately a good thing, but a hard one at that.
He doesn't just want an hour a day either, our lives should consist of and be focused on Him throughout the day. He should be constantly on our hearts, He doesn't just want a simple hour, He wants our lives. Being the gentleman He is though, He will not push us to give more than we are willing. He wants to see how much WE love Him. Which takes discipline, something of which I have a hard time obtaining.
I want God to be number one in my life. I want to hunger after Him more than anything in this world. I want to be a strong Christian that is not hypocritical. I want to be flowing in the fruits of the Spirit constantly. I want conviction and brokeness in my life. I want to be consumed with getting to know my Heavenly Father more and more everyday. I want to be His servant/vessel that will be used to bring Him glory. I want to fulfill my purpose in this life. I want to go higher and deeper in Him. I want to radiate His beauty, joy and peace. I want to be pleasing to Him. Everything I want can happen and I believe will happen if I can discipline my life and stay in His Word. That is what my life needs to be based on--Him, not how much cleaning I can/need to do, not how much time I can spend doing things that can wait a little longer. He needs to be my all in all, my everything, my life.

So lately my priorities have been majorly out of whack. I've been putting things that I enjoy doing like hanging out, having fun, and doing whatever it is that I want to do. However I don't think it is suppose to be that way. My life needs discipline, a discipline that will cause this to happen in my priorities: 1. God 2. My husband 3. Everything else and last thing on my list should be myself. I've been doing things to satisfy my flesh, what makes me "feel" good, and not paying much attention to the One who loves me more than anyone. He desires our attention, our everything. More of Him and less of me. ~John 3:30 I need to clean up my life. Or should I say surrender myself to Him so He can clean up my life? Yeah, that is the best way. I would just mess it up if I tried to do it. I am nothing without Christ being number one in my life. My only need is HIM, and Him alone. He will take care of everything else, I just need to back off and let Him take it all. I am ti...

LIFE

Life in general brings ups and downs, twists and turns--it's a roller coaster if you will. However the one and only thing that I have found to be so constant is my relationship with my Heavenly Father. He's always there in life's happy moments like finding out that you are pregnant, in life's not so happy moments like your cousin committing suicide, and in life's in between moments. He's there all the time, it's whether or not we choose to accept and acknowledge His presence. He's faithful when we couldn't be anymore faithless, He loves unconditionally while we are only loving back under certain conditions. He is speaking to us when we keep running farther and farther away. He is bringing conviction to our lives even though we don't want to change. He cares soo much about us--He knows every hair on our heads for pete's sake. :) I am so thankful that He is all these things. My life wouldn't be much of a life without Him in it. So, sorry if...

"We need to rely on the resurrection life of Jesus on a much deeper level than we do now. We should get in the habit of continually seeking His counsel on everything, instead of making our own commonsense decisions and then asking Him to bless them. He cannot bless them; it is not in His realm to do so, and those decisons are severed from reality. If we do something simply out of a sense of duty on the throne of our life, instead of enthroning the resurrection life of Jesus. We are not told to 'walk in the light' of our conscience or in the light of a sense of duty, but to 'walk in the light as He is in the light....' (1 John 1:7). When we do something out of a sense of duty, it is easy to explain the reasons for our actions to others. But when we do something out of obedience to the Lord, there can be no other explanation--just obedience. That is why a saint can be so easily ridiculed and misunderstood." ---Oswald Chambers This is not a time to be play...
