#34

6 March 09 Journal Entry

Yep, I'm 34 today. Having time with the Lord outside this morning. Sun is just rising. Cool air, but I'm comfy wrapped in a big blanket.

New dawn, new year, LORD, what does the future hold? What do You have marked out? What can I give You? Is there anything today I can lay aside in order to more thoroughly be surrendered and abandoned to You?

I echo Mike Haman's pray this past Wednesday--"Lord, please remove anything I'm leaning on that is keeping me from fully relying on You!"

I heard Mike and thought, "Wow, that's a brave prayer." But I want to say that, with all sincerity!

Counting the cost...what might He eliminate? Am I ready? Lord, please make me ready! I want to be 100% dependent upon You, and nothing and no one else! Abandoned to You in every way, Abba God.

Hebrews 12:1
"Therefore since we also have such a large crowd of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race marked out before us."

v. 2 - "Fixing our eyes on Jesus."

Lord, may I be fixed on You, heart and soul, forevermore.
