December Update

You might have noticed that I never update my blog.
Like, I never really tell anyone what's going on... You really have to be here and watch or just know. So here I am, making a try:

~I am nineteen years, six months, 2 weeks and 1 day old today

~While writing, I live and work as an au pair in Ballyhagen in Ireland

~In 3 days my dear brother will visit me

~In 8 more days I will leave Ireland, going home for Christmas, and forever

~Presently, I'm praying for strength to go when God says "go" and then stay until He bids me otherwise.

~I'm looking forward to Christmas, confident that God will draw me nearer and nearer each passing day until I'm totally and inreversable absorbed in Him.

~I'm incredibly blessed by blogging buddies with that same goal =)

~I am TOTALLY forgiven, crucified with Him

~I have just learned, if the hard way, that if you give Satan a ride, He'll always want to drive.

~I gave him a ride by letting the telly be on all day, poisioning my mind and spirit, and in the end I assure you I had to pay. Luckily My Saviour brought these sins with Him up on the cross, and so I'm forgiven.

~I've been reading "Tramp for the Lord" by Corrie Ten Boom, it inspired me majorly

~I am presently reading "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers, the language is complex (maybe just old-fashioned) enough that I'll have to read it with a dictionary. It blesses me again and again as it emphasizes the Truths of the Book!

~I might have frightened you away from this book with my last dictionary-statement. I beg forgiveness, the book is good enough to be worth those sore fingertips from dictionary-over-use.

~I have no chocolate calendar, so I have chosen a different advent calendar; prayer and Scripture memorizing.

~I am cleansed in His blood.

~I have all my needs fulfilled in Him.

~I will follow Him, even if it means living in harmony with whining kiddos, dirty nappies, strange looks and no telly.

~Thanks for reading all this.~

I'll leave you with this.

May you doubt the blood running throught your own veins before you doubt His promises.

My love and prayers,
