How the Lord moves in my life
I know it must look like all I do is blog, but I seriously am a very busy girl...I just love my Jesus so much! Although I am busy, I am always spending time with Him. He is my priority. I cannot live this life without Him. He is my God and He is my strength. There is no excuse in this world not to spend time with my Savior. He always gives me opportunities--whether it is in prayer walking to class, praying in my journal while I am in class, reading the Word at work--where ever I am, He is there too. And for some reason the Lord just speaks to me...I suppose this is where my counselor skills kick in (Thank you Lord for giving me these skills and thank you for the calling!)...I love to listen to Him. So, this is why I blog so much. I cannot get enough of Him. The more I share, the more I must receive from Him and share some more. So, once again, I must share more of what the Lord Jesus is doing in my life.
Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be transformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Wow, I believe this sums up my blogs! Lord, you are so amazing!! Lord, it is my prayer that I present my body as a living sacrifice that is holy and acceptable to You. Lord, let me not be transformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of my mind, that I may test and discern what Your will is. Jesus, you are my God! Praise and glory to your Name most High! Be magnified!! Thank you Jesus!
I think discovering these two verses has totally confirmed in my heart how the Lord is working in me. Thank you Jesus! I would also like to share with you all what else the Lord has confirmed and thank you Jesus that I have focused on trusting and obeying you! So, last weekend a group of us went camping after the Georgia game. Of course we all had a blast and everyone saw a different side of me. I just had so much fun spending time with my brothers and sisters. So, the next morning, I decided to call my mom since I have not spoken with her in a few days. The conversation was going well until I told her what I had done the night before. I don't know why she got so upset with me for going camping...I have done it before. It was like all the sudden she didn't think I was responsible and that I had turned into the person I was before the Lord delivered me from a bunch of crap my Junior year at Auburn. She brought me back to that year for some reason and I knew in my heart I had not done anything wrong. I could not think of anything...nothing at all. She made me really upset and I had to get off the phone with her. She still had not forgiven me for that year and she still does not trust me. I asked myself, "What more does she want? What does she want me to do? What do I have to prove? I have been walking with the Lord! Oh Lord, reveal any wrong in me!" I sat there for a while and I knew I was right with the Lord. There was no conviction and believe me the Holy Spirit is faithful...He will convict my heart. Then the Lord brought me to Psalm 119:121-128:
I have done what is just and right;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
Give your servent a pledge of good;
let not the insolent oppress me.
My eyes long for your salvation
and for the fulfillment of your
righteous promise.
Deal with your servant according to
your steadfast love,
and teach me your statutes.
I am your servant; give me
understanding,
that I may know your testimonies!
It is time for the Lord to act,
for your law has been broken,
Therefore I love your commandments
above gold, above fine gold.
Therefore I consider all your precepts to
be right;
I hate every false way.
The Lord knew I had been striving to stay pure and holy before Him. He comforted me with His unfailing love through those verses. Thank you Jesus for loving me so much...so much that I cannot imagine! Continue to guide me in your Word because your Word is truth. I am not to be blamed or convicted by my mother or my friends or whoever. Only you Lord Jesus know my heart. You are faithful Holy Spirit to convict me. I thank you! Oh precious Jesus, I thank you! Continue to give me the strength to persevere. In Christ's Name I pray! Amen!
