In Process...


From Amie's Desk

It's shortly after 5:00 in the morning and my mind is mostly awake in spite of the early hour. Bible study ended yesterday for the regular season and I'm not quite sure what today will bring. Questions spin in my thoughts: What new?, what now?, what next?. I know the Lord has answers and I want to know them too.

"I am preparing you to be My sanctuary."

"I know Lord, You've been working on that with me a very long time. I remember singing the praise chorus with my friends when I was Bible college: 

"Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true 
and with thanksgiving, I'll be a living, sanctuary, for You.".

"I'm still working, Amie. These things take time. Conforming you to the image or likeness of My Son takes time.It's not any easy or instant process."

"But Lord, I..."

"Becoming holy is not like changing your hairstyle. It doesn't happen from night to morning in most cases. You aren't suddenly going to wake up one day more holy and Christ-like than the day before. It's a process. Let me work."

It's a process...He's at work....this is what I know for now....may He be praised.

It doesn't seem like a lot...but He isn't unaware...
