The New Me
I had someone leave a comment not long ago, saying they love the "new me".
I have to tell y'all, I am BRAND NEW.
I realize how important a relationship with God is. Just like the relationship with my husband, it requires work, and communication.
I don't take it lightly at all.
I no longer do the same things I did, or go the same places I went, or even say the things I said, or watch certain stuff on TV.
Some people have said, uhhh why you gotta be like that? Because I want my reationship to be pure and not tainted. Same with my marriage. I don't just do any ole thing, or treat Tony any ole way.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, a relationship with God is so much more than going to church. There has to be daily communication. You need the Word to feed you daily. Can you just eat one meal a week? Just eat dinner on Thursday and don't eat again until next week? You will be sick. Same thing happens spiritually (IMO), you will get sick when you aren't "eating" the Word.
Sure you can't be in the Word ALL DAY EVERYDAY. God does desire us to have life AND to have it more abundantly but don't take that scripture and run with it lol. KNOW the context that it's coming from lol.
That's it for today. This has been sitting in my drafts since JUNE 28 lol. Gotta clear all of these out lol.
I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD!
Amen! I hear you.

I'm not sure of who you were before and can't imagine anyone other than the person you are now...all I know, is the beautiful person I see before me! I'm positive everyone IMPORTANT in your life feels the very same way!!

LOVE that you shared your grace story! Thank you for your boldness of faith, sweetness of spirit and determination to let God mold you into the woman He wants you to be.

This is encouraging to me...I have slipped in the area of getting in the Word. I'm so glad to hear about your relationship with the Lord. Be Encouraged!

It is very true God has been there the whole time just like our parents. Nurturing waiting for us to come into our own, knowing that the relationship in its infancy and the one where are adults and free will comes in are different. That relationship is daily, and the daily walk in the beginning for me was hard because the old comforts are gone and the new ones shape my life and family and shows in every thing I say and do.

Wow what a refreshing post to read :-) I havent been to your site in a few months and its amazing what the Lord is doing in your life! You are so right about our walk as believers being ongoing... sometimes it does take a bit of spiritual pruning to occur in order for the Lord to work through us, but its always for the good :-) Look forward to more posts :-)
