My Kryptonite

Kryptonite... that fictional element that could ultimately destroy Superman.  Superman...Superwoman... that's sometimes how I feel or rather how I think I should feel.  I feel like I need to do it all, be it all, become it all - just in order to to be a good wife, good mom, good daughter, friend, employee, manager, christian woman, etc, etc, etc.   

So what's my kryptonite??  My deep seated need (desire) to be "good."  However, the Bible says this about human goodness:

         "They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."                                       

               Romans 3:12  

So where does this leave me?? Clinging to the Word of God, just where I should be. 

I'm truly in a strange place, a desolate place, an unfamiliar and uncomfortable place.   However, I do KNOW that searching God's Word (not for God, but in His Word) will ultimately shed light on my path.  I have no idea what I'm doing or when I might be out of the valley and on my way to the mountaintop... I just know that I need the Lord to do it.  I will continue to embrace my one word and look to Him for the healing and letting go of behavioral traits that are clearly not of Him.  To this end, I have started an Online Bible Study by Melissa Taylor called Let.It.Go. based on the book written by Karen Ehman.

I pray to stay faithful to this study by continuing to be Steadfast in and through the Lord and that I may use this space as another vehicle to show what the Lord is doing in me and through His Word.  

Abiding in Him,

P.S. On Wednesday, I hope to reveal the verse God laid upon my heart  - to meditate upon throughout the year.
