"I have been crucified in Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Galatians 2:20
Thank God it is not I who live, but Him through me. Because if I were living right now, I'd probably be living at home settling with a sub par job with minimal leadership training, going to college with no real vision for my future, living at home, barely socializing with people. That's the Jemima of the past who was so insecure that it crippled my life. That is until I made the silly declaration to the Lord that went a little something like this: "God I want to serve You. Where you go I will go." Sounds pretty reckless if you ask me. : )
The good news is that its Christ that lives through me and I don't need to worry about the insecure Jemima that can't get up in front of a crowd. I'll let Christ take over, and tomorrow night I'll be speaking at Northside church and I'll be doing the wrap up message Easter Sunday morning at Northridge Church. Why should I worry when I'm just a vessel for God to move. It's really not my words, it really has nothing to do with me. In fact, I'm praying that a removal of myself while I'm speaking, because I don't want to get in the way of what God is doing. I'm just awkward, He's the real champ.
