I'm a someone learning to live one day at a time, while trying to make the most of each new day that's given to me.... with ALOT of help from the One above! 8) ***********************************************************I love my Saviour, Jesus Christ... without Him life holds little meaning 4 me! God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and 2 amazing children! ***********************************************************M y interests are my family, MUSIC, writing, reading, art, nature, computers, living healthy and staying fit.... and I especially love to love & encourage others in the Lord. I was born in October and I'm between 35 and 45 years of age (a girl's gotta keep sum secrets... smiles!) ***********************************************************B ut, to really break it down... I'm a petite brunette with a big heart, who LOVES learning how to live life to its fullest in ALL areas of life.... as promised to us in John 10:10! ***********************************************************O ne thing I'm personally struggling to move forward with, is -- standing firm on the promises of God despite how the circumstances around me look. Each day we have a choice to believe or walk in doubt & discouragment. We have a choice to choose 'life' or 'death' in our actions and our re-actions; in our behavior and in our thought life. ***********************************************************G od is able to breathe "life" into our circumstances when we walk by faith and not by sight... when we look to Him and not to our own understanding and strength (proverbs 3:5,6,7). But... we have to die to self, if we wanna find life in Him. ***********************************************************F or most my life I have battled with depression, and so realistically I don't easily die to self because of it... I've fallen many times... but God is always so graciously there to encourage me forward! When I turn to Him in my troubles (instead of to hopelessness & anger), it's amazing the difference it makes in my outlook & perspective each day! ***********************************************************I believe when we seek God's Kingdom and His righteousness FIRST, the things we have need of will follow, as promised in Matthew 6:25-34. But... we're also instructed in Matthew 7 to keep on asking, seeking and knocking, and to be as persistant as the widow in Luke 18, who would not give up knocking on the door for what she had need of. That's faith unceasing! ***********************************************************S o... I'm learning to walk by faith and not by sight... because the christian life is about believing first, THAN receiving. There's a line I recently heard in a movie I watched, which I really felt connected so much to our biblical teaching - "We do not believe because we see... we see BECAUSE we believe". ***********************************************************C an I encourage you, as I do myself, to NOT throw in the towel but to keep the boxing gloves on, and know that we're in a battle that God has already won for us... we WILL overcome. ***********************************************************T his is a little of where I'm at right now. It's a battle every day for me to become more spirit-led than flesh-fed.... but onward I march. I'm hoping to find other fellow warriors & travelors along the way, who will keep loving and praying and encouraging one another to move forward in life's journey together toward the prize!(Dan Fogelberg - "Believe In Me" video)(Family Photo - 2007)
