One of my favorite verses in the Bible is, “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,” Deuteronomy 10:12 NIV
This verse continually challenges me in my daily walk. I fear the Lord but yet I don’t always honor and exalt Him. Obedience, love and serving Him I do but it doesn’t always happen.
Instead of becoming frustrated with myself and my shortcomings I go to God in prayer. I stay connected to Him because He is the only one that can change me. Step by step. So for me…
I want to be Christ-like. I know that I can’t be completely sinless so I will strive to sin less.
I became a Christian at a young age and baptized at the age of 13. My journey has been bittersweet.
A majority of my life I have been a Christian. But not a Godly Woman.
After many failures, tears and tribulation I realized that something in my Christian life had to change.
No longer can I profess that I am a Christian but don’t show daily that Christ lives in me! No longer can I claim that I am HIS child when my thoughts, actions and deeds were not overflowing with HIS love. No longer could I live the way I was living and not seek him daily in prayer, scripture and worship.
As the Lord blessed me with that knowledge I felt him also calling me to write my journey and share my thoughts, learning and mistakes with others.
Hence the reason for 911. Not only was it a crises in my life to become a Godly Woman but as I delved into scripture to understand how to be Godly, I realized that we are living in crazy world where the desire to be Godly was no longer important. Many boast that they are a Christian and weekly attend Church, but lack the Godly qualities that Christ seeks in ALL of his followers.
My deepest desire is to serve Christ faithfully, obey HIM joyfully, trust HIM always, seek HIM eternally and become his close friend so that I can share in his truth and knowledge.
I pray that this blog blesses you and provide you with the strength, courage and wisdom to be a Godly Man or Woman.
