I can see that God is really trying to remake me right now. He is changing me into more of the godly woman that I should be. And for once I see it and I welcome the change. :) Bring it on, Lord!
Please change me! Oh, how I need it so much! I need to be washed clean of the mess of sin and worry that has built up within me. I am so ready to let go of all that. I am so ready to be fully His, like I should've been all this time. I need renewing: now. Thank You, God, for changing me. I pray that I am open to it completely.
Philippians 3:12-14
"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

"God help me to trust You...with my future!"
It's scary, you know? Following Christ. Being willing to be lead by Someone you can't see into a place or situation that is unknown.
I feel this every day of my life, in some way or other. Whether is trusting Him that I get all my homework done in time, or taking a leap about my future. And that's where I've been lately: letting God have my future...
About a year ago God (in no uncertain terms, mind you) called me to a ministry I didn't even realize was a ministry. But that's just like Him, isn't it? Anyway. So now I am looking toward a future sure to be riddled with lots of moves...to new cities (something I dread), having to make new friends (also something I dread), not to mention being scrutinized and watched by the majority of the church body, and giving every spare minute of my life to His church. (That last part I don't mind so much, but boy! does it get tiring.)
So the big question in my mind is: how do you just completely give this to Him without wondering if you're still following His plan, still making steps toward where you need to be someday??? (I know I still rely too much on my own wisdom and strength...) And i'm still trying to stay patient and serve Him in the meantime. I would love any thoughts on this. :)
