IN MY DREAMS…

- I am kind and loving
- I am thin and fit.
- I am wise and humble.
- I am beautiful in soul and body.
IN REAL LIFE…
- I react and want my way on my own time schedule.
- I struggle to lose 10 simple pounds. I hate to exercise.
- I don’t seek after God and His wisdom, but worship my own idols; I am arrogant.
- My hopes for physical beauty are becoming mired in excessive lines, droops and ripples.
- My desires for inner beauty? Often fall by the wayside when I fail to submit to God’s training and character building events in my life.
Is there any hope? Yes!
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus!
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
This IS REAL LIFE! Thanks be to God!
**FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY–this is the brainchild of Gypsy Mama. We are to write on the given topic for 5 minutes and stop. I read it through and make sure it makes sense, add my links and a photo or two and it is on its way. Take a look at the links on her page and see what others did with today’s topic: IN REAL LIFE.
oh my goodness. i could relate to every single confession made here. your post has reminded me just how powerful truth and honesty really are in community. you have encouraged me to look at my ‘real life’, even the shortcomings, through the lens of God’s beautiful grace! thank you!
nice to meet you brittany. i enjoyed reading your blog. I’m glad my words have been encouraging. that’s what i’m about. glad it came through:)
Thanks for sharing! My real life doesn’t look like my dream life either…thankfully we are all in process and that the truth lies in God and His word! In Him is real life!
