Moment of Truth

I am going to be honest with you, my friends. I have been doing a lot of growing lately, and God has really been clear with me on my shortcomings! Like any serious relationship, a relationship with Christ is an every day commitment. Every morning is a new day, and a new day to recommit my love. This world is so vast, fast paced, often chaotic and quite distracting. Just committing yourself to Christ one time won't do it.

When I was reading the bible tonight, I stumbled into 2 Corinthians 12:10 - check it out, it says: Examine yourself, to see whether you are in the faith. 

In the faith, now. Not yesterday or 5 weeks ago. Every day I need to recommit. Every morning when I awake, I need to give my day to the Lord. Being a Christian is not a part-time job. It's everyday, it's a love story, it's passion, its beauty, it's commitment. 

So, if you think I have it all together - think again. 

You have it all, God. My heart is open to You. Use me to serve others, guide me to light Your path. Keep me close as I give You my heart again, today.

Our first stop

With the wonderful Woody, writing this very post! :-)

As I take you through the journey of "this" joyful heart, there is a very important place we must stop. It is the place in each of our hearts in which we desire to be fulfilled. (I have been quite aware of this place in my heart for a while now.) Everyone deals with this place differently, but none of us go without it. It is part of our human fabric, and it lingers within us through the depths of our souls.

We all desire to be pursued and to feel like we belong. To be whole. To be happy. 

This often leads to us seeking through society, which most of the times points us in the wrong direction. Personally, I struggled with this for many years and still do from time to time. As a females, many of us seek to be fulfilled through romantic relationships, approval from others, or accumulation of "stuff"that society tells us we need. Yet after chasing all these things, we often feel emptier than when we started seeking.
So, how can we truly fill this ever-aching desire to be truly fulfilled? Well ladies, let me tell you; I have searched all of those places (multiple times), but I've only found one that has fulfilled the deepest desires my heart. God.

You may already know this to be true, or you may think I'm pathologically crazy. Either way, I'd love to be your friend. So welcome to my blog! Grab a cup of tea and put your feet up, as we embark together through the journey of this joyful heart.
