Are you willing to take a walk?

Because then God will do the rest. :)

Just typed up my last update letter about hampton beach that i've been meaning to do for a long while. But I guess it was just in my heart now. Let me know if you want my updates from the summer and I can easily e-mail it! I love you all. Here are some thoughts in my head...

I think i'm going to try to go over what i've learned this summer and do little devotional blogs to keep up. Let's see how this goes! Feel free to follow! :)

From the end of project reflection...

2 peter 1:3-5
Making One's Calling and Election Sure
3
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

"You never know what God is going to do."

"God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called."

"THIS is the cream of the crop. in God's kingdom."
motivated, passionate, in love with God.

Lust can destroy. Passion needs to be controlled.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a Godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

"What I use to desire, I no longer desire."
THIS POWER is able to change us!

You let go and the power turns off.

STAY connected to God. The power is through Him.

It takes power to stand.

2 peter1:5-9
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

powers need to be unlocked. and disciplined! needs to be motivated and committed!

Romans 8:5
5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.


Watch what I eat,
and take time to eat.

There is a spiritual battle going on. Share it with someone. Don't keep it a secret.

Secrecy will kill me.

"Make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble." 2 Peter 1:10


I keep on praying to get my passions under control and give them to my God and to be motivated and committed. I pray to surrender totally and love and give grace like He does! I want to love like I loved on project. I want to love with the heart of God. I pray for this. I feel like I'm on the verge of slipping and I don't want to. I need to cling to God. I feel like quietism can totally take over if I don't fight in this battle. With my sword.

Okay, hopefully this feels so good that it will get me motivated to get back into my word. Get back into this life and do as God allows and calls.
