It's You

I can feel you like the soft wind blowing, on a warm day. I can hear you like a whisper, speaking words of love. I can see you in my reflection…when I catch a glimpse of myself laughing. It’s all because of you. Everything I am, Everything I’m becoming, Everything I want to be, is because of you.
Psalm 23:3 “He restores my soul.”

The closer I get

The closer I get to God, He says, "Not close enough, get closer". He is pulling me. He is showing me. He is changing me. My eyes open, seeing who I am for the first time. The more I want to be like God, He shows me I am so far from reaching His likeness. My flaws revealed like a message from heaven saying, "it's not enough...I require more." Keep changing me God. Keep pulling me. Keep showing me.
James 4:8 "Draw near to God and HE will draw near to you."

Spiritual Protein

Any figure girl will tell you how important diet is in training for a competition. Diet is approx. 80% of your success, with training and genetics making up the rest. The diet can be hard and takes planning, preparation and discipline (and good attitude). I know from experience, if I stick to it eventually my cravings for carbs will diminish and I’ll be on the right track. I compare my journey with God to my diet. When I’m hungry I want to eat the first thing my body craves which is usually carbs, but I know if I will just eat my protein first, my hunger will be satisfied and I will be successful. It’s the same with surrendering myself to God. I think I know want I want and what will be best for me but I know if I seek God for His will I know I will be completely satisfied and completely successful! Cheating on my diet makes me feel discouraged, defeated and ashamed. I feel exactly the same way when I choose my way instead of listening to God. So…I’m determined to eat my “spiritual protein” first which will make me a victorious over comer! Hebrews 10:36 “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God you will receive what He has promised.”

Love + Mercy Go Together

Today I’m reminded of God’s steadfast love and mercy. This reminder came in the form of a human I am proud to call my friend. God has put people in my life that have inspired me to pursue greatness. My friend doesn’t even realize the impact she has made in my life. A true friend is someone who knows everything about you, even the things you are ashamed of but still loves you. A true friend takes your hand when you need new inspiration and gently pushes you forward. To be a friend is to love and show mercy when it is not deserved. I’m thankful He has given me a friend who embodies love and mercy. I’m learning that the two go together.
Lamentations 3:22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercy endures forever.
P.S. Great 5:30 a.m. cardio session with Laura…now that’s a true friend!
