Who am I?

Who am I?
II Chronicles 17:16-27 (prayer of David)

floating somewhere between being a sinner
and covered by grace.
why me?
what about them?
what is my role?
Teach me, show me, I AM YOURS.

You've taken away my pain; that which I held on to tightly for so long.
You've given it back to me, to use as a tool.
I want to help.
I want to be useful.
I want to be a LIGHT.
And all I know to do is gaze upon the wonderous cross.
That is enough.

I've bought some t-shirts lately. Okay, let me back up.

I've been purging my closet of unnecessary clothes. Too tight, too old; what have you... I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff.

Also, I've bought new t-shirts - from To Write Love On Her Arms and You Are Loved. I also have my eye on one or two from Mercy Ministries.

You see, I want to HELP girls who are in desperate need. Girls who are blinded to their worth. I've been there before...and I want to help.

Gotta start somewhere, eh? So I've bought some t-shirts. I started volunteering for Young Lives DC at my church, right before their summer break (ah, just a little too late, will have to wait until the fall). Oh yeah, when I bought the You Are Loved t-shirt, I had an option to donate a percentage to different charities, Young Lives was one of them. Click here to check it out.

So... watching babies and buying t-shirts...* not sure where to go from here, but it's a start. The beginning of a journey, and I can't wait to see what lies ahead of me.

Crush?

Yeah. I've got one. I feel ridiculous. Really, ridiculous. Feel as though God is showing me that YES! there are Christian men in this world that I can actually LIKE. Weird thing is ... I just don't see it happening...

I've prayed and prayed about this - asking God - "okay, so is this to show me Truth about you, and it could either end up good (he likes me, too!) or bad (he's like, no thanks!), but that with either outcome my faith is to rest solely on You."

Whoa. Pretty much sums up everything.
