Good Morning 2010

Hey yall I know I haven't blogged in ages but i've been offline
here's the highlights.
well since turkey trot.. which i ran with my muffin.. we had fun
then there's work and work.. and more work.
the holidays my least favorite time of year -- it didn't go too horribly bad. i spent alot of it with my adam...
been going through a time of reflection concerning where my life is headed and what changes i need to make... sacrifices i must consider... lately i've felt like a let down not having much fellowshipe with my friends and my church family. i'm trying to be responsible and work but also i don't want to hinder any progress of my mom's walk which is often dependent on my encouragment and attendance at church... please faithful blogger pray for me as i am making hard decisions and most of all that i constant ask God for his guidance above all... i am not here to people please but it's hard sometimes and you really want those you love to be proud of you and to be near them.. but sometimes you have to do the hard thing and start moving... Right now I just want to do the God thing and know what direction he wants me to head so that I would be of better use to him than I have been
Well it's a new year and I am excited to see what challenges the Lord has.. may I have joy in every station and season of my life... ahhh contentment... i have so much to be joyful... my goodness our great lord loves me so much he saved me from the depths of eternal hell. Praying that I show more gratitude daily and praise him for who he is.
As I am studying about praying I am convicted in these areas of my life...
1. My fear of God... The begining of wisdom is to fear the Lord
2. My lack of praising him-- He is my creator and Lord of everything in my life-- Act like it Astrid
3. My satisfaction in him and him alone.
4. My perspective of who I am and more importantly what he has done in sending his son who bought my sin at the cost of his very one blood.
5. Resting in his will- God's concerns should always be the forefront... Praying for salvation of others and focusing on his glory that my selfish needs.

Pray for me about all these and as the year continues i'll keep you posted on how i'm trying to follow my Christ...
