live for God

I’m getting checks in the mail and I’m happy about being lucky.

Reading the Bible and praying. Having a close relationship with God

Your decision today will affect your future

Jan. 09 update
I’m going to try having accountability thru a blog that I have a few friends look at from time to time—not a public one, where I write responses to devotions, etc.

And I’m continuing my list of “50,000” praises. maybe that should be on here?

For quite a while i was fasting once a week or once every 2 weeks, now I haven’t for a while and I’m going to go back to it.
Only by His Holy Spirit.

God is awesome! I want to live for Him forever!!! \m/ He rocks and he has done sooooo much for me, that I can’t say how much! I can’t realize how much thanks I owe him for the awesome things he’s done in my life, so I just want to live for Him forever!!!

i wanne live for God but sometimes i think He doesn’t look aat me. i wanne be a good person in HIs world but peapole around can not tolerate being such a person i am confused i am really sad

I’m fasting today. It has been great. Not a trial, but difficult at times during the day. But it was a great day, partly bcs 2 of my kids were involved in worship duirng school chapel today and my daughter in college forwarded me an email from one of her professors who complimented her on your spiritual journals.
Right now, it is so quiet and I feel very peaceful. I’m looking up stuff on the internet to help me pray and journaling my thoughts. I’ve been so encouraged. I read a good article leading me to confession. And I’m praying for a lot of people in my life today, as well as Haiti…thinking about how fasting is a humbling experience…and (from scripture) “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Well, I’m fasting again today. I haven’t done it in a long time. This time I’m going for the whole day. It’s a challenge. I know I’m not supposed to advertise that I’m doing it (according to the Bible) but oh well I’m writing abou it

I am still determined to do this. I added this goal on here Saturday night. Today is Wednesday and I have been faced with some of the hardest situations. I asked myself why I can’t trust people that I go to church with. It seems there will be one person I think I can trust and then I realize that I can’t. But another question followed that question and it really sealed it for me. Why can’t I trust God as much as I want to trust those people?

Lord, I let it go. I let it all go. Please allow me to see You even when I am faced with all sorts of circumstances. Let me trust You more than I trust them. Let me depend on You and more than I depend on them. Let me see Your love and devotion.

the importance of this was stressed by my parents. They did it and wanted us to. I don’t see anything wrong with that because one day I hope to stress to my kids God’s love and how living for Him is a way to show Him how much we love Him.

I always assumed that I was doing it, but recently, I’ve taken some inventory on this. Wow…the results. I realized that every time that I’m all like, here’s a problem…oh, I’ll handle it like this (not praying about, not asking for help, or even trying to see what God’s will is) I was wrong! I’ve been living for myself. Where did God come in? Where did trusting God come in?

What does live for God really mean? I think it means that I need to reverence Him as Lord of my life and stop putting myself in the driver’s seat all the time. I need to be the passenger and allow God the steering wheel for a change! I mean, duh, Olivia!
