My favorite words....

Glory. I want to learn to Glorify God and have His name be Glorified in my life so that I might bring Him Glory.

Bless. I want to learn to be a blessing for Life. I have been blessed, and in turn I want to Bless.

Serve. Something my amazing Maman has taught me. I want to be as selfless as my mother (and my God)...

Super-Dooper, Fantabulous, Marvelous, smiley, Terrific and any other colorful way to describe how I’m feeling. :D

Exactimonely. Because it is a word I made up….kinda

.a servant

“I have rightfully no other business each day but to do God’s work as a servant, constantly regarding His pleasure. May I have grace to live above every human motive, simply with God and to God.” ^Henry Martyn (missionary to India)

What does it mean to be a servant? Yeshua says, "But the greatest among you shall be your servant" (Matt. 23:11). I find myself thinking about so many - in the Christian population - that I come in contact with...and how mediocre they are. Many haven't ever read the whole Bible (or continue to read it), they rarely pray (and I am talking about not just before you eat....), so who can recognize them as believers? Many times I can't. How can the Lost get found and know that He is Lord when God isn't sanctified by the people already called by His name?


Matthew 25:40 and James 1:27 are so important! That is what it means to serve. And that is what I want to become. I want to be known.......as a servant.

A Call to Anguish:

This pretty much sums up what God has been teaching me recently. Why are we - as believers in the one true God - not having the passion to tell others about Him? Where is Yeshua's heart in the Church? Are we changing the world, or is the world changing us? This morning my family and I were reading Numbers 25. It is SUCH an amazing chapter, with a whole bunch of cool nuggets. It was talking about the zeal of Phinehas (Aaron's grandson). This guy had the courage to assume leadership in front of Israel to defend the name of God. He fought for God with a sword, yet how many of us can't even do it with our mouth? Why do we shrink back and hide...excusing it, "because we don't want to look weird" or "we want to be polite and not judgmental". We serve a jealous God. A God who is jealous of the attention that we give movies, facebook, texting, friends, and hobbies, over HIS glory. I don't know about you, but I want my life to be consumed with zeal for God (just like Phinehas), filled with His righteousness. I want to be radical for the sake of His great Name.

'What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.' *Amy Carmichael
