WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Hi! Welcome to my blog page! I am new to this, so bear with me as I fumble through creating my page! :) I hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing from you.
I am a Christian woman desiring to be all God wants me to be. This is a lifelong process of many ups and downs, failures and triumphs, trials and tests. He has asked me many times to do things I feel inadequate to do. He does not want me to stay in my comfort zone, but to step out in faith and allow Him to do a work in me that I could never do in my own ability. Thus, I am writing this blog :)
Many times in my pursuit of God's will, I have made mistakes and failed. There have been times I felt that I had failed beyond remedy but God's love and mercy reached out to me, picked me up and said, "try it again." I have found an ever faithful friend in the Lord. I remember not long after I began this journey, I went through a time that I felt so lost and far from the Lord. I had prayed but felt that God was far away. I remember reading a scripture that said "He will keep that which we have committed unto Him against that day," so I figured I would take him at his word. I prayed and said, "Lord, I commit my life to you. Everything that I have, everything that I am, I give it to you to keep until you come again." That was some 21 years ago and he has kept his word!
God doesn't expect us to be perfect. He knows our frame. He understands we are human and we are weak. That is why he came to earth in flesh to conquer the sin of the flesh. He knew we could not be victorious over sin in our own strength, so he came and did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Then he promised that he would send the Comforter that would dwell in us. It is through this Comforter, the Holy Ghost, that we can live victorious lives in Christ. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13.
Here are some things I have learned that helps me along this journey. I know God is my faithful friend and he will give me the strength I need to accomplish this task. He is there with me and will never leave me nor forsake me! Yes, I have made mistakes! No, I have not arrived yet! 'But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark...' Philippians 3:13-14. I must lay the past aside and not allow it to  be my focus. I look forward to the things at hand and PRESS! Pass failures, doubts, inadequacies, fears and what ifs, into victories, expectations, opportunities, faith and vision! Christ has already done the work, we just have to allow him to complete the process in us by surrendering our will to his becoming victorious through him!
May the peace of God, which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
