MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Due to  Grandma responsibilities, I am going to have to take a leave of absence of a few weeks from the blog.  I hope those of you who follow me will take this opportunity to make use of the bible studies on my web site, www.momsbiblejournal.com.  I pray that each of you will have a very blessed Christmas and will find some special time to spend with the Father and thank Him for the gift of His Son.

One of my favorite musicians is Shannon Wexelberg, and I would like to share the words from one of her songs with you since her thoughts mirror my heart----and I pray yours as well.

Becoming 
By Shannon J. Wexelberg

Who am I becoming?
Have I grown to look like You?
Has love been carved into my heart?
Oh, Lord, I pray it’s true.
Do I ache inside to feel your smile
And to gain what I can't lose?
Who am I becoming?
I long to be like You.

Who am I becoming? ?
Would a stranger find You here?
Could they recognize You in my life?
Would my love for You be clear?
Do I treasure all that’s dear to You
See the world through mercy’s eyes?
Who am I becoming?
Can they see Your face in mine?

Lord, I want to look like You
To walk like You
To talk like You
To breathe the air You’re breathing in
To hear You call me "friend."

Who am I becoming?
I am clay within Your hands.
And if You must use fire to form me,
I trust what You have planned.
For beauty shines in purest light
When it’s tested and found true.
I pray I am becoming
Beautiful like You.

That’s who I’m becoming--
Just a child who longs to find
That more with every passing day
Lord, You are magnified.
