My Identity in Christ
Just finished a Bible study called The Search for Significance by Robert McGee. Great study and would recommend it! So many things I could share, but here's a snid-bid (yes, that's a word in my vocab) called "My Identity in Christ":
"Because of Christ's redemption, I am a new creation of great worth.
I am deeply loved, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, totally accepted by God, and absolutely complete in Christ.
There has never been another person like me in the history of mankind, nor will there ever be.
God has made me an original."
What appealed to me in these sentences were the adverbs (that's what they're called, right?...OI, don't tell Mrs. Schildkneckt!)...deeply, completely, fully, totally, absolutely...no room for kinda, sorta, maybe, conditionally. That's what's awesome about the Lord & His love for us...there's no in between, no gray...He loves us with a love that is so complete and pure that I can't fathom its depth, but I know it's life-changing!

No excuses...
Okay, so what excuse could I possibly give at this point?!...can't think of a one; so I will simply apologize for my year off from blogging. I've realized that there are folks out there who take the time to read my blog...a shocker but cool nonetheless. And I've also realized how nice it is to emote and write down what I think...and how much I've missed that.
My April resolution for the 2009 year -- continue & keep blogging:)
It's been a year and I am quickly coming upon my 31st birthday. I wish I could say that a year in my thirties has brought immense wisdom and knowledge...I can say that I keep learning about myself. Life's all about knowing yourself and your place in this world; that is, knowing that you're not the one in control. God continues to bless me & I continue to be amazed that the God of everything still wants to love on me...an astounding and humbling thought!
As I look back on my 30th year, here's what God has done:
~grown me in my role as a nurse practitioner...& continue to learn anew everyday
~taken me professionally to a place where I didn't figure I would & continue to open doors for me in the realm of palliative care...who'd of thunk it
~enabled me to complete a marathon & helped me walk the next day!
~revived my passion for medical missions & allowed me to love on the people of Guatemala
~brought me to the place of desiring to buy/own my first home (& loving it)
~continued contentment in His timing
So there it is! Much more to come later!
