please rejoice with me & pray for me~!!


look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^(that is, brightly reflecting a glory not my own, simply faithfully reflecting His glorious light to all =)

-- i'm not an awfully faithfully bright reflector tho :"(
please REJOICE with me & pray for me!!
AN OPEN INVITE TO ALL: if you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life! where do you see faults in my life / character? What areas would you like to see me grow & change by God’s grace?” -- all part of me obeying 1 Tim 4:16 which is too easy to neglect with such dire consequences!!

i just know there's SO much rubbish in my life to clean up - much too much for me to do - praise God He's the ultimate soul-rubbish-cleaner!
:D rejoice with me~! :D
:D i don’t have to have everything figured out to take the next step he’s put on my heart!
:D i no longer have to play for the applause of the crowd.
:D i'm free to surrender my need to think i’m in control and know His plans are far better.
:D i don't need to be dictated by my feelings but i can simply trust in the truth of God!
* pray*
* give me a growing, vibrant relationship with The Living God will displace the influence of sin and free me to live in His freedom!
* i'd lay aside the lies of shame and the demands for performance that drive me from Him
* i'd find my security in His affection for me & let that transform me!
* i'd stop submitting to what i feel but have the grace to trust in the truth of who God is & what He has done!
- How often have I [sinfully] focussed on my feelings, that old guilt, the shame that weighs so heavy rather than focussing on the Truth of WHO this Righteous, Holy, Just God is that I've offended in my stupid sinfulness nd yet has lovingly & graciously planned & povided a PERFECT mediator for me? -- AMAZING LOVE, AMAZING GRACE!!
* i'd finally realize how my selfish ambitions work against His purpose in me and others around me & and lay them down in growing trust that He knows better than i do and He does all things well!!
* i'd focus less on trying not to do something but focus on engaging a reality so much larger than myself!
* i'd take this freedom seriously and let Him lead me to the gift of righteousness that a growing trust in Him provides!

* Father would displace in me what draws me to sin & become so real in my life that I will no longer succumb to its temptation.

* i wouldnt be deceived! to think that the more "spiritual" i think i become, the more easily i am deceived by my own spirituality.
