Wow -- this is my 900th post! CRAZINESS!!! I've been thinking that this winter (you know...when the ground is covered with the white fluff and it's soo cold outside that your snot freezes), I might go back and re-read through my blog. My online diary of the daily happenings in the life of the curly haired girl. I am hoping to look back over the past 900 posts and see things that the Lord has taught me...things that have inspired me...things that have brought about change in my life....see answers to prayers...and the list goes on and on.
Today I've been convicted about my attitude about being placed in the lives of others...I don't want to go through life living it for myself...but I want to be that person that points others to Jesus. I don't want to be selfish and conceited. I want to be warm and loving and kind. I'm not always this way...sometimes I get bent-out-of-shape because I have things to do and I don't want to take time to stop my busy schedule. What's the problem with this? It's all about ME...and you know what...life is not all about me. I'm truly thankful for parents that taught me that life is not always about me. I see it in their examples even now...my parents take time to help out their church family. They take time out to help others in need. They are truly an example of Christ's love.
When other people see me...I want them to not see ME...I want them to see Jesus. We sing that hymn, More, More about Jesus. One of the verses is a good reminder,
More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show,
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love Who died for me.
P.S. In case you are wondering, faithful Blog-Stalker...I have stopped importing my blog to Facebook. I felt like it was a bit much...
