I want to know God for who He says He is.
I want to be everything He has called me to be. To live and breathe His Word in my life. To rest in the assurance that He loves me for who I am, not by what I do (or don't do)...
I want to live with such joy in my heart that it overflows into every single area of my life. To have a smile not only on my face but in my spirit as well. That others may desire to know the Jesus I proclaim to live for...
I want to be a woman after God's own heart. To not be so consumed with buying and having material things that continuously threaten to take my eyes off of my Father...
I want to know with all of my heart and soul that the blessings of God are just as much in knowing Him as it is in the things He allows me to have...
I want to know the Jesus that healed the sick and made the lame to walk. He is just as much present with me right now in Spirit as He was when He walked the earth 2,000 years ago. I want to walk with Him everyday...and allow him to heal others physically and spiritually through me...
I want to live a life free of fear. Free of doubt. Free of anxiousness about the future and everything I know is to come because of what the Word of God says about the end times...
I want to worship Him not only with my words but with my entire being...my heart, soul, mind, body, and strength...
I want to be a courageous witness for Christ to those in my circle of influence. To see my family and dearest friends come to Jesus in faith, so that they may see Him for who He truly is. That they may see their worth and value in the eyes of the Living God.
I want to have the freedom to be myself. In front of others and in my own eyes. I want to accept myself and all of my quirks, failures, and mistakes...and not be concerned with how others view me...
I want to be free from the fear of rejection. Yes, others very dear to me have rejected me.
But not Jesus.
He's always been there.
Always.
I'm never alone, even when everything in me cries out to Him because I feel lonely.
I want to enjoy the journey I'm on. I'm being perfected every day. Jesus has paid the price. I don't have to keep trying to convince myself that I need to 'earn' His love and grace.
I want to get into agreement with God for the things He's placed in my heart. The purpose He has for me. Unsure of what my next step is, I need to trust that in His timing, He will open doors that I cannot open...
I want the Lord to break my heart for the things that break His heart: injustice, sin, pride...
I want to know that the things I yearn for, if they're a part of His will for me, shall come to pass. I don't need to pray a particular way or do everything right to receive from Him. I just need to be His child, and that will never change.
I am His.
1 John 3:1

Sherrie,
This is so beautiful and I feel the same way and you expressed yourself so well. The way you right is from the heart.
I to live in Indiana, Greenfield maybe we could possibly get together over in Indy.
Again I am very touched by your words of compassion and your transparency.
