The Lord speaks to me, even when I don't think I'm in a place to hear him. Lately God has been talking to me about what I have in my life. Things, that aren't necessarily "Bad" but they don't bring him glory either. Music, movies, actions and friendships. I want to set myself aside for the Lord, to be one of his tools and to live life solely for his purposes. I don't care if people say I'm crazy, or if they exile me because I won't watch a bad movie with them. Set-aparted-ness, that is what I long for. I will be honest, it's scary stepping out into the dark blessing the name of the Lord and trusting his guidance. It's not pleasureful to have people stop talking to you because your a "Jesus person!" However, I will take the labels, the names, and the scary first step. I want them, I'll grow and become a woman that the Lord is proud to call a daughter. Lord, help me set aside my life to glorify you and achieve only what you want me to achieve. Help me eliminate the things in my life that aren't what you want for me. I want to be part of the generation of youth rising up to bring you fame. Help me God to become closer to the person you would have me be, and less like the person that the world wants. God you are amazing. You romance me, and you tell me about how much you want to do with this world...and frankly, I want to see it all happen! I praise you for everything you have blessed me with, help me to appreciate it more than I do now. Thank you for the gift of freedom. I love you Lord, ~Jackie P.~
