Thank.You

I’m thankful today for the process God allows in us for change. I have discovered that when you want to be a different person, when you see your sin and authentically want God to change you from the inside-out, He does it!

I’m thankful that although I’ve spent most of my life the way I am, as I seek God and He shines His light on me, and as I’m made aware of my sin and darkness, I can change. He is changing me. Old thought patterns and habits are change-able because of Jesus. The coolest thing is that I’m seeing things that I don’t like – which before I never would have seen or acknowledged, but as I see them, I confess them and the more this happens, the more that default-thinking and default-acting is changing. I am not the same person I was even last year. Not to mention the year before that, or the year before that…. you get the idea….

I have a million miles to go, but today I’m just thankful that I don’t have to be the same as I was. I don’t have to accept old habits as ‘normal’ or acceptable. I don’t have to put up with the same old thing.

Thank-you God that I have a new start everyday and You are faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and cleanse me of all my unrighteousness. Because of that I am becoming a better friend, a way better mom and a much better wife… and that’s just the beginning, cuz my relationship with God is changing too. I’m getting to know Him based not on what I have done or am doing (performance), but based on what He had done and who He is… when I see myself thru Him, I look a lot better. Thanks God…

That’s what I’m thankful for, today.
