Self Denial.

In order to serve the Lord in everything, I am practicing saying "no". Sometimes I get so caught up in the American Culture where we can have whatever we want, whenever we want it. One thing I want so badly right now is the comfort of home, but that is not for right now. Not this season in life, so I will cling to the Lord to find comforts in him in what is for right now. I want to be in a place that I wake up each day to recognize my servant hood. My heart is Christ's home.

I am practicing denial to become more aware of my need for Christ. I am trying to become less dependent on things of this world. I'm praying that as I pursue denying myself of things like facebook and working on my time management and being wiser with my money, I will become more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I want my eyes to be opened to what God has designed for me. I want to become more prayerfully minded, more thankful and a vessel of his love.
