Ephesians 6

I don't think I am as confused as I think I am....
I think I am wayyy more scared and stubborn....
I will Abba today in moments where I hide behind that confusion make the hard choice...and You know Abba how much HELP I am going to need.....Oswald Chambers this morning said...

"Knock, and it shall be opened unto you." "Draw nigh to God." Knock -the door is closed, and you suffer from palpitation as you knock."Cleanse your hands" - knock a bit louder, you begin to find you are dirty. "Purify your heart" - this is more personal still, you are desperately in earnest now - you will do anything. "Be afflicted" -have you ever been afflicted before God at the state of your inner life? There is no strand of self-pity left, but a heartbreaking affliction of amazement to find you are the kind of person that you are. "Humble yourself" - it is a humbling business to knock at God's door - you have to knock with the crucified thief. "To him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Eph. 6: 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

so...would you, could you pray for me and I will be praying for you...

Becky,
your journey sure is a beautiful one...a humble one...humble enough to bring others, lots of others, along.
There are so many people learning from you, being encouraged by you and your story and journey. I am just one. Praying for you today, praying for you lots of days...

Becky... I just read Oswald today too... he's a wise one:) I'm finding that I have to claim his promises. I claim that Jesus when you say knock and you will answer that you are true to your word. I claim the freedom and hope and joy that you have promised me. I claim that I am your daughter absolutely loved by you and your view of me is filtered through the perfection of Jesus. You see me as an unblemished lamb... and you shepherd me and keep me in your palm. I claim this for myself and for Becky.

I am so excited to see you in two weeks... what a wonderful reunion of family it will be... my heart flutters with anticipation:) Love you...
