Hello...Update!

Hello!!

Hi all! So, my books did arrive on their expected dates, and...I am happy with them. Well, with the one I've started reading anywho, I anticipate beginning the other one.

I have begun reading the "Breaking Free" book by Beth Moore. I am using it as the main supplement (as a supplement for my Bible) on my journey. I must say. I am feeling better about everything :)). There have been imperfections, but God is definitely in control. He has been speaking to me in awesome ways (like really though =D) that make me feel that He is with me and I am going to be OK. I'm still not sure when I'll be leaving Atlanta, He has not told me that far yet. But I feel better, that He is in control. And even better--that I am getting closer to him! Which was the whole point of this journey.

Today's study...

educated me on the definition and structure of God's glory, and how it is defined as the way He shows himself to us and shows himself through us. His glory is the action of Him making Himself recognizable to and through us, and his power is what He uses to do so. More importantly, as a woman of God, my life is meant to glorify Him. And as opposed to what some may think, this is easier than one might think. Seeing as God Himself is the one that has to wield His power to make the glory seen, I myself have no control over how He chooses to show Himself...I just have to position myself in the right place at the right time by submitting to his authority (letting go of pride and fear and acknowledging His greatness), trusting in Him, listening to what He's telling me, and obeying His word. Once I am in line, He is able to glorify Himself through me. And I can be used by Him! Which, I must say, is a thrilling idea, and soon to be reality. It's funny how sometimes we know things without really understanding them thoroughly. And I am still learning and realizing more about Him and His ways. I am happy about this. Thank God for mercy and grace.

More awesome revelation and progress to come!!!


Side note: Loving the fall weather lately, though it's gotten warmer recently here in the "A". But I know it will cool again. Either way, yay!!
