I Have Decided

Hello Beautiful people, 
Yes I have re-launched my blog! YAY!! :)
And for today I keep going back to the same idea: I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I hope I keep going back to everyday for the rest of my life. And I pray the same for you. 

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
I will no longer follow this world.
I rebel against this world. 
Against its values, ideas, treasures and lies.
The Living God is inside of me. 
I am not my own.
I have value.
I am bought with a price.
The Blood of the Lamb has been shed for me. 
I am redeemed.
I am forgiven.
I am adopted.
I am no longer a slave to sin, but a slave to RIGHTEOUSNESS.
No turning back.

  
Change in topic (well sorta): Goals.
I feel the Lord really tugging on my heart to set some new goals for myself and I think that writing them down and being public and real will help me achieve them. Feel free to hold me accountable.
Keep in mind these are random goals, some silly ones, don't judge! :P
Some one told me, whatever you want to do just GO DO IT. And I realized that there is so much on my heart and if I keep ignoring these desires and dreams I'm gonna really miss out on life.

I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight-walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer and labor by power.

My pace is set, my gate is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know and work until He comes. And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
