The Book of My Life

"At times, all of us may wonder exactly how God wants to use us. If we just offer ourselves to Him, God will take what feels like random letters and spell beautiful words through each of us. Just by being yourself, you reflect God's beautiful design." ~~ Margaret Feinberg in Being Yourself. 

My prayer asking God to use me to "spell" something beautiful with my life:

Holy God,
When you write the book of my life, may the words come from the letters of my heart.
May your Spirit fill me moment by moment so I share your goodness, grace and love.
May the gifts you've given me be used to serve and encourage those around me.
May I live a life of obedience. 
May I be real and authentic; my true self.
May I worship you in all I do and praise you for who you are. 
May it be that I am a follower of Christ.

lovely once again, welcome back.

Thank you, Rebecca. It feels good to pick up the pen and scribble. The letters on my keyboard silently "click" as I turn the scribbles into coherent thoughts and words. It refreshes and renews me. In other words, it's good to be back.

Thank you, Rebecca. I am traveling this week, but maybe we can talk in November about a guest post. E-mail after 11/4 when I'll be home again.
