TO BE

Inspired by a sermon heard on the radio..., I write my "to be" list to stay focused.

         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
true to Him
the fruit of His Spirit, walking in and bearing His:  love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperence
a bearer of my own crosses, without complaint
an example to everyone within my realm of influence
a great writer
friendly
a friend to everyone I meet and/or come into contact with on any/every level
virtuous
His light in this world
full of His glory
emptied of gossip
without reproach
without superfluity
sincere
honest
trustworthy
devoid of unkind criticism and judgment of others
