Just A Work In Progress

What do I write since I haven't written in a month? Well at 12 AM on August 4th God has been doing a work in me, convicting me, and shaping me into the woman  He has planned for me to be.  I have honestly been struggling spiritually to make time for what really matters... a growing and maturing  relationship with Jesus Christ. 

I have carried many things such as depression, anxiety, doubts, anger, frustration, stubborness, and not seeing myself in the light of my Savior' s eyes, more or less I have taken on  Miss Negative Nancy.

As Jesus has shaped me, each  of these things have slowly lost a hold in my life and some I am still working on. Such as my stubbornness and my Miss Negative Nancy attitude of my life and my actions.

I am still a work in progress as we all are. I do not have my life all together but I am having faith in God that he will lead me to be what He has created me to be for His glory. 

" I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. " 
Galatians 2:20 ESV

Even though I fall short, I can have faith in  Christ through his love and ultimate sacrifice. However, I must live as I have died to the things that I once craved and held onto for the unfullfilling joy of this world. Jesus is the ultimate joy I can have  in this world.  I wish it was as simple as I put it.

The words of a hymn I had to memorize for a class come back to mind... May the mind of Christ my Saviour live in me from day to day.  This will be my prayer as I encourage all of you to take on the same mindset of Jesus Christ.

A process is never easy but it is always worth it in the end.  We are all a work in progress.
