Over the last couple of days I have been challenged with some really good questions....

"How are you known?" & "Am I growing in intimacy with Christ?"

Addressing the first one, thinking about the songs I sing at church or the words I read in the Bible...are those things I am just singing and reading or that I am living them out in a convicted passionate way? I want to be a woman who thinks & speaks the Truth, who lives the Truth as a new creation in Christ (2 Cor 5:17). And as I do those things, as I am seeking to overcome sin, be disciplined in a certain area, is it because it's something I feel I have to "do" to gain approval or love from God or because I have an acute desire to know Him deeper?

As I am here, as I do countless activities with youth, work on teams, work at the restaurant, encounter people day in and day out, I ask you to pray that my intimacy with Christ and my desire and love for Him grows deeper. With everyday I pray I would "thirst to be more thirsty still"(A.W. Tozer) so that I am growing closer to Him and that is how I would be known...a woman walking intimately with her Creator and Savior.
