One Step

i love how the Lord relates to people. i feel like a lot of people hold off from pursuing the Lord because they feel like they have fallen too far and where they want to be isnt even close to where they are. so the reason i love Him so much is He loves meeting us at the door when we knock, taking our baggage inside and helping us unpack. there is a process and we just have to take that first little step toward where we want to be and then years down the road we look at ourselves and realize that we have been changed in a beautiful way. when i look back at who i was in high school it makes me cringe. but i realized that i wanted to be different and i took small steps and even though it has been hard along the way i am much closer to where i want to be now. obviously, i am not perfect nor who i want to be, but in a way, i think its beautiful. the more i learn about the Lord the more i want to be like him and i just feel like with every little step that i take and every lesson that i learn i am blossoming more and more into the the woman that God desires for me to be. because he knows that only by drawing close to Him will i grasp true joy. one of my favorite things to think about is sanctification! when we accept Christ that is only the beginning and then you spend the rest of your life being drawn in closer and closer to the heart of God and it becomes who you are. i love it!!!!

so, to sum it up. figure out what it is that you want to change, maybe even make a list and then instead of being overwelmed by the list, take one thing at a time and move in the right direction. embrace the process!!!!!
