I've been praying a lot lately about the hunger I feel for the Lord and that he would reveal more of himself to me. Partly because I have just finished the book "One Thing" by Dwayne Roberts (Great book, highly recommended) and I have just started reading "God Chasers". Not only that but, my life has been transformed. I have felt the presence of God on me and I want MORE! My dad mentioned a month ago, about having a kingdom mind set... to my shame I blew him off a bit. God confirmed to me today that, that is just what I should be setting my eyes on; His Heart and ultimately His Kingdom.
I will lay down my entire life to take up my cross and follow him. I want to be his disciple.
I want to be a God chaser!
I have a better understanding of what Jesus meant when he said in Matthew 6:33,
"But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness;
and all these things will be given to you as well."
How can it be anymore simple...
All I have to do is give my life to Jesus and to his glory and he will take care of everything else.
How reassuring is it to know I am loved!
"For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future. Then you will call
upon me and come and pray to me, and I
will listen to you. You will seek me
and find me when you seek me with all
your heart."
To be honest... I fall subject to holding onto things in my life and not giving the control
completely to God. The biggest of those being marriage! I know I'm young.
But, I long to share my life with a man who chases after the heart of God,
just as I am trying to. I dream of my husband and I pray for him. Sometimes
I take things in my own hands. I have been engaged once, but because it was against
the will of God. Thank you Lord for being so merciful, and showing me he was not the
one before I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life!
I've decided to let God take care of the husband thing because, well I'm really bad at it,
and His ways are FAR above mine. My views have changed on dating as well,
I will not date a guy unless I can see myself marrying him, and he is completely
given over to his life to his relationship with Christ and his love for the King.
I am so sick of dead end relationships.
I do not want to kiss another man until my wedding day.
Thats all my thoughts for now I'll probably be on later.
Remember the Lord delights in you

How amazing. Not 10 minutes ago I posted from Matthew 6:19 on a networking forum, with the comment that I find myself drawn to this chapter a lot lately and earlier this evening posted Matthew 6:32-34 at an REI forum.
Then I stumble onto your blog and see you posting from Matt. 6.
I'm glad to see you are yearning for the Lord in all aspects of your life!
Stand Firm in your faith and in your convictions. The Lord knows your heart and will fill your desires for just the right man, in His good time and according to His purpose.
God Bless!
