It's amazing how when you have Jesus in your life you change. A new year is 10 minutes away and I am at home. I am 35 years of age...and I am at home. I remember how I would call myself getting all cute for the club on this same very day. Now don't get me wrong I was cute...lol...but I had no idea how beautiful I had become since I decided to accept Christ. I not to long ago went and looked in the mirror and as I glanced at the grey hairs (smile) I looked slightly down and stared into my own eyes. I seen alot...a mother..a sister..a aunt..a daughter..a wife...and most of all A CHILD OF GOD. He changed me. I no longer desire the club scene. Thank You Lord. In fact I love who I have become. And it seems as it gets better with time. Has anyone else felt this good?

Mex, I think I know what you mean! When I think of the old me, the one without Christ, it seems like it is someone else, not me. Now with Jesus, everything is new! My mind is being renewed, my desires also. Even the way I view other people. (That has changed in a big way!) The old me has really died. (I'm thankful for that.) The new me with Jesus, is a life beyond my greatest dream. I thank God for His Power to change people's lives! I thank God for every day! More than that, I thank Him for eternity, which I look forward to with much anticipation and joy!

IgnitedFaith Yeah I feel you. But I have to be honest a lil bit (smile)...I struggle alot with killing mexbias08. Man she is my biggest enemy sometime. But I often just think of the verse that says Greater is He that is in me than him of the world. But seeking deeper in that scripture...HE has 2 be in us. And it feels great to know that what is in us will come out. I have to admit though...I may not be where I want to be but I am closier than I was yesterday. God Bless

Line upon line, precept upon precept from glory to glory. Praise God. It IS His loving kindness that causes us to change. (repent) I have a birth anniversary coming up next week. I can see such a difference in myself from last year. Not the grey hair (even though there are more) LOL, but in my thoughts and actions. Renewing my mind has caused such a huge difference. I don't struggle to be Christ minded, it is more natural to just do the right thing. Which starts with thinking the right thoughts. Which comes from thinking on those things that are lovely, pure, and admirable. I have found that this keeps me in perfect peace. So, I expect to have fewer grey heairs by the end of this year instead of more. LOL

Mexbias08, Your post and the responses to it made me remember a poem I wrote in my journal over 3 years ago... Jesus is killing me ! 6-30-06 Jesus is killing me !! You know... that old me, with all the shackes and chains on my life You know... that old me , who wants to rant and rave and have fits and pity-parties, so I can have my own way. You know..., that old me, who is proud, and conceited, and has exalted itself above the knowledge of God You know..., that old me, who is jeolous, and full of strife and unforgiveness, self-centered, self-endulgent and fearful. You know... that old me, who is insane. Doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result. But thank you Jesus you are showing me little glimpses of the promised land. So help me Lord Jesus, Please keep killing that old me! Because I know... those chains on my wrists, keep me from doing what you want me to do Because I know... those shackles on my feet keep me from going where you want me to go Help me Lord Jesus, Please keep killing that old me!
