My attitude of love must not be sacrificed on the altar of activity.

I so desperately want my words to be indicative of how deeply and completely I love my people.

Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.

I want my kids to head out the door full of peace, not the echoes of my frustrations.

Jesus, I don't want to be a secret keeper with my faith. I want to be a bold and gracious truth proclaimer. For You. With You. Because of You. Me, the unwanted girl whom You loved, redeemed and wanted.

One thing you can be assured of is that God has already worked out all the details of what your obedience will accomplish - and its all good. we need not fear what our obedience will cause to happen in our life. we should only fear what our disobedience will cause us to miss. the sooner this truth resonates in your heart, the quicker you can make peace with a command from God that you dont fully understand.

God has challenged me to grow in my knowledge of Him but I have to CHOOSE whether or not to display this growth through my actions.
