One of the things I have always struggled with as a Christian is who I am in Christ. I have a huge tendency to gaze intently at others and their lives...their talents, their gifts, their children, their body types, the way they steward their homes,ect,ect,ect. I have talked myself in believing the LIE that the Lord, let alone my husband would never really accept me as I am. I have made God out to be a liar, and his word not TRUTH, all from seeds of doubt that I have feed, and watered over the course of time. I finally am coming to the point where enough is enough. I am really trying to go hard in my walk with Christ where I am not ashamed to share with Kevin or close friends my struggles. Honesty and Humility is truly the pathway to revival. I believe there is some AMAZING GRACE waiting there for me. This past week at the conference a friend of ours lead us in praise and worship. The Song was I know Who I Am by Israel & New Breed Feat. Chris Tomlin. The words just spoke so much truth over me. This song as well as various verses on who the LORD say that I am in Him will be my meditation until my mind is renewed. I really have to believe all that I say that I believe. This walk is a beast!!! Praise God its possible through HIM!! Now if you will... I need to print the list below :)
