Lord, I’m Yours. Whatever the cost may be, may Your will be done in my life. I realize I’m not here on earth to do my own thing, or to seek my own fulfillment or my own glory. I’m not here to indulge my desires, to increase my possessions, to impress people, to be popular, to prove I’m somebody important, or to promote myself. I’m not even here to be relevant or successful by human standards. I’m here to please You.
-From 31 Days of Praise by Ruth Myers (and also straight from my heart).

Kelli - AMEN to that. I love that book–I feel like she’s writing straight to my heart, everyday. 🙂 It’s a great place to be…. SURRENDERED, isn’t it? What a incredible peace, that only God can give us, when we’re right where HE wants us. Miss you my friend. Love you!
Jason Worsley - You made me think of two verses:
9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. II Cor. 5:9
and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. II Cor. 5:15
