what do you see?
What do you, you kind readers, see? What is it that makes you follow this blog, that makes you read it? Ok, so we don't have to go into all those specifics (I follow her b/c she's following me, etc.) but it makes me wonder. My blog is where I post about what I'm thinking, what I need help with, what I need prayer for...
But at the same time, I could just be putting up a front here - I mean, you can't really tell who I am. And I'm sad to say that often I am putting up a front. It's all too easy to sound all spiritual on a blog post/comment, to be happy and kind to your friends at church, but then to turn around and snap at your sibling or be disrespectful to your parents.
But...
What do you really see? When you walk past me in the store, what's your first impression? When you overhear my conversation with my besties, what's your first thought? What do you think about me when you see me shopping for clothes or eating at Chick-Fil-A? (Which, by the way, is a place you'll probably find me...)
This is what I want people to think, to see, to read on my blog:
There goes a girl whose chief delight is her Lord, whose main passion is serving and glorifying Him, whose main occupation is becoming more like the Lamb.

I'm inviting you to be honest here - keep me accountable. I've recently been trying to make my way through the usual problems of teenage-ness. Several months ago, I literally felt depressed, which I had never felt before. Of course, that just exacerbated the whole hormone thing... actually it was all connected, you know what I mean?
ANYWAY. I am trying to change - make that I am begging God to change me. To make me more like His Son. I want patience. Forbearance. Kindness. Joy. Contentment.
What do you see?
2 Rubies Have Left a Thought...:
you know, we ask him to change us. But he is not going to do it. That sounds kinda funny...but let me explain. He isn't going to make you change, if you truly have the desire to change,then you must make the change yourself. But you can't do it on your own, because something will get in your way that stops you, but God will give you HIS Strength to overcome, to BECOME more like HIS SON! So what I'm saying is pray for God to give you strength to overcome the things in your life, and HE will give you the strength! I know that this is something that I pray for myself. Because we can't do it on our own, but with the Lord we can :D .
In Christ,
