TO BE

         TO BE

         Written to encourage and inspire me "to be" more like Him in every way.  These are my heart's greatest desires, and He has said that if I will delight myself in Him, he will give me the desires of my heart.  I will review these written items regularly to measure my progress and to keep myself focused.  I expect to add items as time passes and His grace increases.

I choose, intend --- it is my will and purpose to be:

delighted in Him
thrifty
content
righteous in Him
a student of His Word
a teacher of His Word
the image of Him
His wholly/holy prophet

a bearer of my own crosses, without complaint

His light in this world
