In weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NASB
And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.  Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

As I go on this life with the Lord, I see my weaknesses. I see more and more His grace upon me. What He is making of my life I do not know. Who knows but him the finished product but right now but I am hoping.
That I will lean on Him for repose
That I will meditate upon Him at night
That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection
That I will count everything as loss
And be found in Him having a righteousness not of my own but that which comes through Jesus

I am aware of my shortcomings, my sins, my folly and trust upon His sufficiency for all I need for life and godliness.

What I as a Christian Woman Want to Be

For a long time I have been seeking to become that Proverbs 31 woman. In all honesty I am not. But who I desire to be is  that woman with a quiet and gentle spirit. At peace because God granted me reconciliation through the work of Jesus Christ. I want to be that person who though her eyes are set on God is able to share God's love that has been shed abroad in my heart. I want to be that person who fights the fight of faith. I want to pray for my brothers and sisters in the faith, seeking their good. I want to encourage and exhort my spiritual family. I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection. To be found in Him. To dwell in His courts all the days of my life. To remember Him in the watches of the night. To keep His ways and not depart them. To die to myself and live in the light of His Son. He is forever and I am finite. God knows my length of days on this earth, the grass withers and the flower falls but the Word of Our God remains forever.
To Him who is able to keep His people until the end. Be Honor, Glory, Power and Dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Goal

As I have been reading Passion and Purity. I have realized and have a motivation to:

Point people to the Lord
Serve in simple ways
Have in my heart the Scriptures
And seek to reflect purity and holiness in my actions and words

May what I do, say, and think be pleasing to the Lord.
