Living Water

Colossians 1: 10-23

10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully

12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,

14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Well, if that don't beat all. That's just perfect considering my previous post ;) How faithful He is to meet His children where we are at and pull our heads out of the sand and show us His ways. How merciful and gracious is the Father's love...

Static

I'm sitting here, eating a banana and sulking. I feel like I want to jump out of my skin. Do you ever go through days where you are just so sick of yourself? Ick. I just see all the selfishness rising up within me and I feel like unless the Lord comes to change me I will stay a self obsessed little beastie girl. There I said it. I am not so cute, or charming or funny. Nope. I feel like a little brown blob of glue. Sticky and messy. Don't touch.

The thing is, I can't even hide on the Internet anymore! Why, because some of you know me! And I know what you're thinking...."Colleen, knock it off." Well, I'm trying, it's just that, if I can't be real before the Lord or real with how I feel inside and get it out then I will feel like a plastic yellow smiley faced Christian and that's not who I am. NO MORE PLASTIC CROSSES.

I need Jesus. I need my Savior. I need to get over myself and airing out my brain by writing helps, so if you're reading this, this post isn't for you, it's for me, so just be patient and eventually we will resume to your regularly scheduled program.
