Live to Thrive, Not Just to Survive!

I had this thought yesterday about life and living.  I recalled the scripture...

John 10:10
The thief's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.  My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

In my journey to really live this year, each day, work on living...I realize old habits that I have lived by and want to change...I do not want to just live to get by or get through or survive...

I want to live to THRIVE!  I want to live as Jesus wants me to live and not miss anything He has for me.

I learned yesterday through a Bible study at church and again several times hearing it through the day, something I needed to be reminded of.  If I want to live as Jesus wants, then I need to believe all the things His Word says about me and my life.  I am a child of God, the living God, and I need to continue diving into His Word so that I can learn who I am in Him and how to believe it.

More later...Love to you!

Returning To My First Love

After realizing how far in 2010 I did stray from the Lord, my first love, and did not even realize it, I am on a journey now to return to my first love and put Him back in first place in every area of my life.  I am soon to be starting a new study through the first workbook of Thin Within by Judy Halliday, and I am very excited in what God will do in this time :)

I've been sick the past week and a half after my children were sick and one still recovering so we have been just doing a lot of recovering and relaxation.

If God leads I will be posting my journey through the next Bible study I do in Thin Within.  I want to really live it, to not just treat it like a book, but keep my eyes on the Lord and not the book and see how He works in me.  The song that comes to mind is that one that talks about I don't wanna go through the motions, I don't wanna go one more day without your all consuming, passion inside of me...

Thats the thought I am looking at today and seeking that passion...more later!
