Titus 1:5(NIV) The reason I left you in Crete was that you migh straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Do you ever find that you have to be reminded what the purpose in what you are doing is? Boy, I do. The problem is that most generally I am struggling so hard against not what God wants me to do, but how He wants it done, because I figured out a way on my own how to do the task that I have stopped listening. The sad thing is, I am usually exclaiming all through it that I KNOW God wants me to do this the way I am doing it. The next thing is yelling, "God, I thought you told me to do this." Then the answer, "No, I wanted to do it through you."
God wants to work through us. Your light that shines is the light of Christ. Don't rush out ahead or despair because you think you have been left behind. Read the word and LISTEN!

About Me
- Until He comes or until I go, Nikki
- I was raised in Oklahoma. I always say, once you've been an Okie, you'll always be an Okie. It's a good thing! I do graphic arts, write, sew and a multitude of other things. The things we experience in life and especially our world view help determine who we are! Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and it is my prayer that everything I do will be for His glory and the edification of others.
