“With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!.” -Psalm 119.10
“Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.” -Psalm 86.11
Completely. All out. Undivided.
Sometimes I don’t even have the words to describe how I feel. My heart pounds. My mind gets focused. Energy rises up. Distractions fade.
I want to live my life focusing on what really matters. Not caught up in the distractions. Giving my all. Not holding back.
It’s scary to think about sometimes, because I know that not everyone will understand. Not everyone will agree with me. Not everyone will support me.
But far worse, is not doing what is in my heart to do. If I always live my life to please others, I will never amount to anything. I will be just another face in the crowd. Going with the flow. That’s not for me.
I am a woman of passion, purpose, vision and conviction. I can come across as being intense. Too serious. No fun.
At the end of my life, what do I want to be known for?
I don’t want to be known as the life of the party. Don’t want to be known as the most popular. Don’t even want to be known as the best Christian author, speaker, songwriter, worship leader or minister of my time.
I want to be known as a woman who was undivided in her pursuit of Jesus. Who gave everything to become more like Him.
