Recalculating...

God has called me to work on my Character... isn't that the calling on all of our lives everyday? To strive & desire to grow closer to Him to become more like Him?

Everything else falls into place when your Character takes precedence. Honestly, I have become lazy and it disgusts me. I want to have the desire to condition my Character but it isn't always there... the beauty of His Strength and Power gives me Hope.

A strong conviction lays upon my heart and I pray to God that it will continue to help me push forward and not just be pushed to the wayside.

2 Peter 1:5-11

New International Version (NIV)

 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
 10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
