Who I Am

I am a child of the King. I am a princess in the kingdom of God. I am blessed beyond measure because my Daddy provides everything I need. I am assured of my salvation. I am learning to be an eagle for God.

Leif Hetland is currently conducting a "Soaring as Eagles" conference at Heartland Assembly in Ankeny, IA. He talked a lot last night about knowing who we are and whose we are. We are God's. He bought us with a price, that price being his Son. Jesus gave His life for me and the question is posed once again, what will I do with my life for Jesus today.

God is doing a deep work in me. Plans that I had abandoned due to past issues in my life, God is stirring those things in me again. I don't know much, but I know that God knows and that is all that matters.

I had an opportunity to talk to my friend Jenni last night about some things that God was teaching me. Jenni and I share a similar past but God has shown us the same grace. I know that although our overall ministries may be different, we will minister together on occasion. I was telling Jenni about an e-mail i sent to one of my friends, someone that I knew from my past. In part, I told my friend that life and love are found in a relationship with Jesus and until that is established everything else fails to be true. I see the rest of my life in the eyes of Jesus. My friend didn't respond too great to this e-mail but the message was put out there, she has now heard it and I'll continue to pray that the seed that has been planted will be watered and given light so it can grow. We talked on the phone for over 2 hours and as the call was nearing an end, I had a Sheryl Crow song come to mind. I don't normally listen to Sheryl Crow, or much secular music at all for that matter, but basically the chorus to the song goes "I'm gonna soak up the sun, I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up." But I said that I was going to soak the up the Son, as in Jesus, and am going to tell everyone that true freedom comes in knowing and being known by Him.

We are His. Bought with a price. Destined for greatness. Empowered by the Spirit.
