Over the past few years, I have grown immensely in my faith. God used Indiana Wesleyan to challenge me to move beyond self centered plans to completely abandoned and surrendered to Him.
This leads me into today. All I want in life is to live completely for Him. That's all I want. I don't want to be stuck in shame, guilt, brokenness, or anything that will even seek to drag me apart from God.
Therefore, I want to share some verses that I seek to live by:
"Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall." -Psalm 55:22
"Yes, LORD, walking in the ways of your laws
we wait for you,
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts." -Isaiah 26:8
"Not to us, O LORD, not to us
but to your name be the glory
because of your love and faithfulness." -Psalm 115:1
The previous verses sum up perfectly what I want in my life: I want to cast my cares on Him, knowing God will protect me. Life isn't about me but about the renown of God and spreading His glorious name everywhere.

Radical Desperation
Where do I end and where does God begin?
God begins when I reach the point of complete surrender: when I look at my life and all I see is all my weakness and failure. I have such a clear view of weaknesses that I weep over what keeps me from growing stronger in faith.
I know God is doing something major in me when I can't continue on where I am. I cry out to God in my deperation and brokenness. All of me is pleading with God to be my strength in the midst of what makes me weak and causes me to fail in sight of Him: who is completely holy and righteous.
I have reached a critical level in my life: I am not afraid to say that I am desperate for Him.
Where can I go?
Where do I hide when life is overwhelming, when my struggles and temptations overwhelm me?
I have no where to go and no place to hide. I just stopped and cried out to God: for Him to overwhelm my brokenness and weakness with all of His strength.
I want to say I'm radically desperate.
Radical desperation is what I need.
