Needing More

I need more of Jesus.  

Every minute of every day.  

My life isn't much of a reflection of Him, if I'm not continually allowing Him to refine me.  

Lent starts tomorrow.  I do like the practice of Lent - sacrificing something because Jesus' great sacrifice.  

Lent this year is taking on the form of me just wanting to strive for a deeper sense of health in all areas of my life.  

There are areas that I'm really weak in and I desire to grow stronger in and gain a deeper level of discipline.  

There are still areas that I desire complete victory in.  I've made good strides in those areas, but I need the victory.    

I need to resist the urge to be the people pleaser that I can sometimes be.  

I need to step out with more courage.  God has been doing a work already in my life in regards to taking away my fear of speaking Spanish (finally!!!), but I need to become more bold in life and searching for challenges that will help me grow....in all areas of life. 

I need to spend less time with social media.  I admit that I do like social media, because it helps me connect with family and friends thousands of miles away.  But ever notice how much it can be a time waster and even be an energy sucker?   I've been feeling it and need to cut back.  

I need find more quiet moments of reflection, meditation and prayer throughout my day.  Those are the true balms to the soul, especially when joined with God's Word.

Basically, I just need more of Jesus.
