My Journey into Loveliness: June 2011

My Journey...

I chose to title my blog "My journey into loveliness" because I am currently on the journey of a lifetime. I am completely in love with a man named Jesus. He has revolutionized my life, and changed me from the inside out.

Jesus saw me when I was so incredibly, messed up. He said "Live". So I began to change. I began to try to be good enough. It was about that time that Jesus sought me out once again, He took me in and began to make me into His own. (Ezekiel 16:1-14)

Ever since then I have been on this journey of refinement. For quite sometime I have felt that I should start a blog so here goes nothing.

My journey is messy, and at times overwhelming, but I'm in it for the long haul. At the end is loveliness. That is what I long for.

So, join me if you dare on my journey into loveliness...

Changing winds.

Change is coming. 
I can feel it in my bones. 
Seasons are shifting. 
I am ready. 

For months now the Lord has been doing a deep inward work in my heart, the 
results of which are starting to be seen. 
Yet I still feel His invitation to come closer. To go deeper. I have no idea 
what this is going to look like, but I must admit that's one of my favorite 
parts. As someone who wants to know all the details, the unknown is always makes 
me a bit apprehensive. The only exception is when He knows all the details, then 
I am free to let go and simply be. 

To rest in His presence. 
To soak in His words. 
To be content in His timing. 
Where He is involved, I can let go and let Him have control. 

I feel as if I've stood in this spot so many times in the past year, and yet 
again I choose to say "Come Lord. I'm ready." Bring on the changing winds!
