Too often I find myself challenging God's will in my life by my imperfections and weakness. I tend to believe if I wait long enough, it'll go away or I'll eventually be spiritually ready or pure and holy enough to accomplish His will. Lately I've pushed aside all these thoughts and feel like a plow pushing through a ton of weight to accomplish His will. No, not really--a hope that all my worry and fears of "I'm not ready" will work in this situation. I'm pretty sure 2 days of lost sleep isn't going to get any better. Needless to say I'm still working on perfecting my life till the answer arrives. Regretting the talk I had with my friend in August/October and possibly reading the church newsletter that has spurred on more about this topic. I can ignore well, but the spirit will continue to nudge and tug at my heart. I do not have to be perfected-a willing and open heart to do God's work. Will I be flawless enough to obey---Only by His grace will I have the strength and wisdom to follow His leading. I am not strong enough, courageously enough, or disciplined to pay the price to see your kingdom come. Would you remind me that the cause is worth any cost. My life may not be ready to impact one's life; through You, I can do all things. I am following step by step.
