God, you see my life as i stand before you, and in humility i am admitting that there is stuff in my life that is messed up, that there are places that i have been compromising, that there are places that i am allowing to be corrupted, that there are places in my heart, in my mind, in my attitudes and in my habits where you are not in charge.
I pray that you would change my mind. That right now God, like it says in Romans, that i can be transformed in the renewing of our mind. That you would fix my mind, that you would make our mind work the way yours works, that you would give me your perspective, your view and your understanding of these things. God, that you would change my mind to see what's messed up in my life. God, so i can see sin the way you see it.
God, i need your help to change my ways, to change what i am actually doing. I pray that your power would be in my life in a strong way to help me live a life that you intended me to live.
Your words says that we shouldn't be a people who look at ourselves in the mirror and see our faults and then walk away and forget what we saw... no! God you call us to be a people who deal with those faults and own up to our sins. I know that it is not my strength that changes hearts, but yours.
God, i pray that your spirit would fall on me. That the same power that was raised in victory over sin held death in the grave would be active in my life.
Thank you for your love. God is love. Love never fails.

God is love

Ephesians 5:1-2

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

1 John 2:9-11

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

Absolute beauty... please pray.

My Aunt Cindy is one of the most beautiful women I know. Beautiful in so many ways.

She is a strong Godly woman who embodies love in every inch of her being. Last August, she took a stroke which came as a huge surprise to all of us. Health concerns, personality changes and loss of mobility resulted immediately. This rocked their family and ours in too many ways and I couldn't help but feel helpless through the whole ordeal. I think we all felt helpless. She has been living in the US for as long as I've been alive and every time she's visited with my super sweet cousins, they brighten up my life. Through it all, the hurt in my father's eyes, the uncertainty in their voices and the desire to have her home with us, we've all been stretched and reminded that prayer is so powerful.

Our prayers are being answered and she is coming home... tonight!!

I'm asking for prayer.

Prayer that God's plan will be followed, not our own... regardless of our desire to have her move home. Prayer that we will be able to asses the issues properly and get some solutions. Prayer that she will enjoy her time and re-develop some of those skills that were robbed of her.

God is love!! To Him Be the Glory!

A Mess!

My room is a mess.

My mind is a mess.

I refuse to be a product of this world.

I yearn to solely be a product of my creator.

We have overcome too much to fall.

This won't last long.

I'm just in a funk.

I'm taking you with me when I move forward.

I'm starting running. Tomorrow.

Thank God for amazing friends.

The end.
