A new tag line and a clearer identity

Now that I'm posting more regularly I've been thinking a lot about what I hope to do with this blog. It boils down to this. I love Jesus and that's really exciting! The possibilities and plans that God has for my life are things I can't even imagine. The fact that He loves me is incredible. I've recently been coming to a better understanding of the unstoppable love He has for me and every other human He's made. This love has nothing to do with what I've done. I mess up all the time, every day of every week and He continues to pursue me with a fervent never ending love. He's brought me along for a roller coaster ride of a life and all he asks of me is everything. I don't always want to give it to Him, but He loves me anyway. He helps me to let go and in return He gives me better than I could dream of! This may all sound trite, but it's all true. He's sent me to Mozambique to see how He blesses the poorest people on earth. He introduced me to a man after His own heart and then told us to get married. He sent me to school to become a nurse and then when I graduated He handed me a wonderful job at a well known hospital when the job market for nurses is pitiful. More than that He continues to grow me into the woman He wants me to be. That is not some overly pious woman. He created me and wants me to be the best Lyzz (with a y) that I can be. He wants me in a real and invigorating relationship with the God of the Universe. He gives me insight into His character, hopes, and desires and nothing could be sweeter than that. I hope to chronicle all that excitement, the mountains and the valleys of it. Sometimes it's hard, but He is faithful and loves me more than I can understand. That's the good news, He wants us with all our mistakes and failures. He doesn't want us to cover them up or pretend they are not there. He sets us free to be ourselves and He will be faithful and mold us into better versions of ourselves. It's all very exciting in a somewhat bored world. I hope you'll share the journey, only God knows where it will lead.
