I just wrote a quick letter to someone the Lord has blessed my life with. One of those people who God uses to truly change you, and make God increase, that you must decrease. As I wrote him, the Holy Spirit reminded me of so many lessons He taught me through this man, and continues to instill in me through His word and others who love Him, and even those who do not. I love that He works in such ways. I am so indescribably overwhelmed that He has given me this life, and the people in it, and the places He has allowed me to see, the experiences He has allowed me to be a part of. That for somewhere between a breath and a blink, He has given me a chance to be a part of His eternity, His love, His perfection, His greatness, His joy, His passion, His glory, His everything.
Why? Why, Lord do you use me? I am pretty ridiculous, in case You have not noticed. I fail You more than I follow You. I do not trust you, even though I have no reason not to. I certainly do not love You, even to the slightest degree that You deserve. But You still died for me. You still live for me. You still love me. You are still You. And You talk to me. You romance me. You have entrusted Your love and Your truth to me. Why?
I really do not know what to say to You, because You are everything, and I am nothing, deserve nothing, have nothing. But You love me. Thank you. Help me to be the woman You created me to be; to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You; to walk worthy of the calling with which I have been called; to love my neighbor as myself; to love you, my Lord, my God, with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength, with my everything. I love you my Sweet Jesus (not the way I should, or You deserve, but the way I can, and the way your are daily teaching me to). All glory, honor, power is Yours. Amen.

I live an hour south of Sacramento…..It used to be a little town that no one knew….but, is actually getting pretty big….about 80,ooo. I live in Tracy. It is smack in the middle between Sacramento, Modesto and San Francisco. I guess I like it alright…..I have fantastic friends from my church…if it weren’t for them I would not care if I moved……..although I will always miss SoCal…..my family is down there.
