Hello 2008

Hello 2008.
wonderful even numbered year.
-the Word is as honey on my lips. It can be chewed and savored a million times over. You can listen to the same sermon over and over again and still not know enough. God is infinite...I can never know him enough
-I am your chosen one. You are disciplining me.. I want to submit to you and know you as my master.
-Transformation cannot be calculated. Things just happen. I cannot predict anymore.
-All my efforts are in vain. My perfectionism vs. God's perfectionism.
-Are alll my words seasoned with salt? A product of the thoroughness of Christ in my heart? I am learning to be led in the Spirit.
-If you are led by the Spirit, you are led into battle against sin.
-I am responsible for chewing and partaking the Word
-I must remain in you.
-I'm learning to filter through what I've learned and seen about church/God. I am relearning everything, being born again in my thoughts.
-Old skin vs. new skin. God wants me to have a new heart.
-It's not about learning many new lessons, but about learning 1 lesson really well. I'm so used to gathering new thoughts and lessons each week that I forget to savor Christ. I can get so caught up in gathering information.
-I've been humbled. I can no longer assume things about people.
-I'm learning to see people positively. I realized I have such a bitter perception of people. I do not know how to love people.
-Without love, I am a clanging cymbal
-Learning to not be condescending in my speech. As Christ is in my life, He is transforming my speech and my heart.
-Grandma? My perception of her is changing. I've grown bitter, but it is a good kind of bitterness. I must feel it before moving forward.
-Christ is alive in my life. Even yet while I was a sinner, Jesus died for me.
