Well it's been a beautiful day out. Spent some time in God beautiful nature. It is so awesome to see the magnificence of his handiwork. As far as the eye can see, is the vastness of all he has created.
Spent time with my friend doing some outdoor work. I do enjoy her company. She is an inspiration to me. She has been through so much in her life, but the love of the Lord shines so brightly through her. Maybe her light will rub off on me . I can only hope. But I know that being around her and my other friends. Helps me so much. But my insecurities, are always getting the best of me. The devil still has his claws in me. But through prayer, and studying God's word I become stronger everyday. The book we've been studying in Bible study has really made me stop and think about how selfish of a person I am. Never really thought I was. But there are so many different ways of being selfish. Some I never thought of. Then there is the green eyed monster that lives inside me. The one I thought I had under control. Don't really want the material things that others have. I find myself wanting to be well versed in the Bible. Like the ladies that I so admire in my Bible study group. I know that comes with studying God's word. So I must learn to be content with where God has me at this particular time. I am thankful that he doesn't always give me what I want, or think I need. Thankful he gives me the things he knows I should have to work for his good to glorify him. Guess I've been windy enough. God Bless.

Seeking - Him

I'm a christian who is sure of my salvation. How to figure out what my gifts are, now that's another story. Once they are known how to use them to the best of my ability. Then thers's that little problem of being afraid. What if I don't do it right? Don't know a whole lot about the Bible. But continue to learn. Attend a wonderful womens bible study group. Through which I've grown. You know two steps forward, ten back. the devil never seems to relinquish his control over me. Praying helps, but continuously falling back upon my old ways. Relying on the Lord is my main focus but at times it's so hazy. When will my lesson of leaning on him be an atomatic response? I know I'm a work in progress, but this is going to be a looong one.
