~Living In His Beauty~

Hey Everybody!

Welcome to my new blog! Yes, I finally got one. I thought it'd be a great way to keep in touch with everybody and share my thoughts as well as what God is doing in my life!

You might be wondering a little about the title of my blog, and how I came up with it. Well... it's pretty simple really. A while back, I came to a point of decision in my life... one that would completely change my way of life and my way of thinking. You see, even though I recieved the Lord as my personal Savior when I was a little girl, I wasn't living my life in total submission to Him. I was always worried about what others would think of me. I always tried to be pretty and tried really hard to make a good impression. I wanted people to think that I was doing great spiritually. But you know what? I realized how empty I felt, because I wasn't living for Christ, but for myself! I realized that I needed to start making my life count for Him! I don' want to live for myself any longer. It's not worth it.. take my word for it! I want Christ to shine through me! That is the only way to truly ever be happy and have a blessed life. From that moment onward.. when I kneeled before the Lord and asked His forgiveness for being so stubborn and wanting my own way... I decided that I was going to live in His beauty. Not in my own... no longer.
Is it easy? No (shock!). Do I sometimes fail and get discouraged? Yes (double shock!). But when I do, I know I have a loving and merciful Father whom I can turn to. I can rely on Him for help and strength in this battle against Satan. Whenever Satan says, "you can't! you're too weak!" God says, "you can, I will make you strong, I will hold you by the hand and help you through this"! I start every day by giving it to God in prayer, and asking Him to help me live in His beauty. It's a choice I have to make every day, believe it or not. And God helps me carry it through. Don't we have an AMAZING God?? He is full of second chances! Maybe you haven't been living your life 100% for God. If not, I would encourage you to make that decision. Because only then will God truly be able to use you, and only then will your life really count for Him. Live in His Beauty! God had many blessings in store for His children who seek Him! Remember... God honors those who honor Him.

I'm really excited about what God has in store for me. I have no idea what that is... but I know that is HAS to be good =D (1 Cor. 2:9) In the mean time, I want to glorify Him and bring praise to His beautiful Name!

God bless you!

Living in His Beauty,
