It is NOT me

Can I just say I have some amazingly sweet people in my life?  I do.  I've been getting several messages from people telling me very sweet (nice to hear) things.  Let me be the first to say, IT IS NOT ME!  I PROMISE!  I screw up ALL THE TIME.  I am only doing what I've been called to do.  I don't do it perfectly...I'm not even close.  It's JESUS.  ALL JESUS. 

He asks me to give to the poor.  I'll give.
He asks me to love my neighbor.  I'll love.
He asks me to put Him first.  I will.

These things are not always easy, but I want to follow His direction for my life.  My selfish heart wants what I want when I want it, but I have to remember that His ways are always better.  He knows the plan for my life...He sees the completion of it.  I only see the here and now. 
 He knew long ago that this sweet baby would change my life. 
He knew that becoming a Mother would teach me about how much He loves me.  It absolutely boggles my mind that He even loves Jackson more than I do.  What?  I love that baby something fierce and yet He loves him more.  Isn't that just crazy?  I want that crazy love in my life!  I want to be all in for Jesus.  The I will do whatever you ask (even when I don't get it & I think I look like a crazy person) kind of Christ follower. 


But, basically I just want y'all to know...IT'S NOT ME :)
