Poem

I read this on YLCF a poem by Elysse Barrett

Dear Lord, grant me...
…the willingness of Mary
…the obedience Ruth
…the devotion of Esther
…the serving spirit of Martha
…the listening ear of Mary
…the hospitality of Lydia
…the faithfulness of Lois and Eunice
…the leadership of Deborah
…the trust of Hannah
…the searching heart of the Queen of Sheba
…the boldness of Priscilla
…the faith of Rahab
…the patience of Rachel


I want You, Lord, to be the perfume that I wear, the thoughts that I think, the song that I sing…

I am willing, even wanting, to be broken…if only You might be glorified.

I am your daughter and You are my King, my Life, my Sustainer, my All!

Please, Lord, make me worthy of the honor of being known as your Princess!

Yet Saved and Encouraged...

I was reading my post from the 30th...It sounded like I was down and out...that Sunday service was a blessing, just to see how God can work so that there "be NO division among us". The saints manifesting unity ALWAYS is a blessing to me!!

I am yet saved and encouraged...living a consistent life over sin, PRAISE GOD. God has really been showing himself strong to me. These past couple of years have been some of the "hardest" trials of my faith. Praise God my faith in Him yet holds strong! (And nothing of my "natural" circumstances has changed for me to say this...I have grown MUCH in HIM)

Pastor Lloyd (COG pastor - Sharon, TN) held a revival for us last week. WOW, WOW, WOW! God spoke to me through EACH message! GOD is SO real He is so there when I need Him the most.

Thank you Lord!
