Commitment Day 2


Welcome to Commitment Day 2. This is the second post in a 31 Day series with a focus on Commitment. To see a list of all posts by day click here.

Commitment Day 2
Committed to Being a Child of God

I have thought about this post all day, but work and life in general has kept me from being able to sit down and write the words. I’ve also been a little hung up on how to share what is on my heart.
In reality it is so simple, but I battle with the simplicity. Why? Because it is the most amazing, awe-inspiring, unbelievable but believable thing…
I am a child of God.

Since we’re going to spend this month focused on commitment, I have to share with you who I am. I encourage you to think about who you are. Did you get to read the post from yesterday?
So, I am a daughter of the Living King. I have a worth greater than all earthly things.  Worth far more than rubies. Proverbs 31:10.
“For everyone born of God overcomes the world.” 1 John 5:4
Did you read that verse?! Every one of us who has been born again has the power to overcome the world!

The worth I have because I belong to Christ is amazing, really at times it is ungraspable, but it doesn’t end there. As a child of God, the very Spirit of Christ dwells in me. (Romans 8:10-11)
“If you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:13-14 There is so much in these verses…. Perhaps another day we can discuss them in more detail.

Today I just want to share these verses with you. Perhaps you’re unsure of who you are or of who you are committed to being. (I encourage you again to visit yesterday’s post.) 
More importantly I pray you’ll visit scripture and see what scripture has to say about who Christ intended you to be.
I belong to Christ. I am committed to being who He made me and calls me to be. I am His child “and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorious together” Romans 8:17

Are you a child of God? What are you suffering with? You do not have to suffer alone. Give yourself to Christ. Live as He has called you to live. Then, you will not suffer alone but with Christ.

Thanks for visiting Commitment Day 2. What are you committing to this month?

Five Minute Fridays

Five Minute Fridays is where Gypsy Mama ( click here to visit her blog ) encourages everyone to write for five minutes. No edits. No over analyzing (which is the direct opposite of how I work and that's why I participate so I can get out of my comfort zone, learn, and grow). You can join too! Just write (or think) for five minutes. Today's topic is 'unexpected'. Unexpected Unexpected can be so good…. Like when that kind person at the grocery store with a full cart lets you in front since you only have a handful of items… Or when your friend calls you out of the blue just to say hey…. When you receive a gift just because…. Those kind words from the person you had no idea you meant anything to or even had an affect on… People can do things so unexpected. Then, there’s God. I know He is the Creator of everything. He loves unconditionally. He provides all things. God will never leave us or forsake us. God is always with us. God always has a plan. Still, when Go...

Steadfast Love

         In the last few weeks, I have been struggling… I can see all the ways God blesses me. All the ways He provides. I know in almost all my posts since I started writing on this blog about two months ago have been about how God takes care of us. I’m telling you it is like an annoying habit! You focus for just a few days on what God’s provided for you, and then it becomes a constant way your mind works. (It’s kind of like how people are doing 30 days of thanks on Facebook. I know it seems redundant and maybe even a little annoying to you, but you see for those people posting daily status updates on thanks has become a habit. A way of life for them.)           So, what’s my struggle? It is about love. Do you ever wonder about love? Why does your friend love you when you know your singing gets on her last nerve? Why does your significant other love you when you would rather recount your entire d...

Five Minute Fridays

I follow several blogs, but there are only a handful I read daily including Rainmakers and Stormchasers, http://www.jennyrain.com/ . Jenny has a blog friend who does Five Minute Fridays where you write on a given topic for five minutes, post your writing unedited, and encourage others to do the same. Today’s topic was 'Remember'. Here's my unedited five minutes on 'Remember'...(What did you do on your lunch break?).... Remember...  I remember those times… with family and friends… Those long seemingly endless summer days at Memaw’s with my sister, brother, and cousins…I remember waiting on mom to come in for lunch…And those special days when Aunt Barb came too…Oh the days we spent at Aunt Barb’s…I remember loving… Then, there were those mornings before school where we all gathered around the breakfast table…Memaw always prepared a feast…we would argue over who’s turn it was to say the pray…but I remember all the other conversations were so good…I remember ...
