Accountability, Trust, Surrender... Misplaced????
 

One night I had a creepy dream.  I had a baby, but refused to properly care for it.  I was so neglectful that the baby died in an ocean! Good grief!

The weird part is that I walked around with a sense of guilt afterwards.  How ridiculous! But then again I have a tendency to take on false guilt and then blame others when I am truly at fault.

I pray that the Lord will give me a realistic view of godly accountability.

Also, my struggling heart and mind are trying to learn to trust and surrender my full weight upon God and God alone. May I not only bow my head and bend my knee unto God, but may I also reveal my back to Him knowing that He will have my back and will not betray me.

May I allow the blood of the Lamb to be applied to my life and may I stay within its protection and cleansing every second of every day.

I pray that God will train my willfulness into HIS hands so that I will run to HIM and STAY in His capable embrace.

I don’t to struggle in my false sense of independence, but I want to find my niche in God’s shoulder…  that perfect place to rest my head.  I desire my heart to beat in the same rhythm with His and to serve others with love, humility and patience that acknowledges HIS presence in my life.

this over since yesterday.
To be so totally surrendered to Him, as you said that my heart would beat as His. Awesome stuff.
thank you for sharing it!

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
