Thursday Thirteen
These are not resolutions,but simply some things God has impressed upon my heart,through reading His Word, to work on...to be all I can be for His glory. The christian walk is a marathon,not a sprint....so,I must keep up the pace and grow where and when it is needed. I am failing in some of these areas and need to focus on doing what is right...all the time....not just when I feel like it. I know none of us are perfect,but God's grace and sanctifying power can give us everything we need to be godly in this world. We just need to obey.....
My Thirteen for today are:
1) To be a more godly wife....Read Here
2) To be more loving,kind,and patient at ALL times
3) To show Christian hospitality more
4) To serve my children by nurturing their hearts
5)To read more so that I can work towards having a better Christian mind (Romans 12:1-2)
6) To put others before myself everyday
7) To live passionately for Christ--the passion has to be rooted in Biblical Truth
8) To encourage others in their walks with Christ
9) To die to self
10) To die to self more
11) To forgive
12) To love...really deeply love others
13) To be bold to share what Christ has done for me
I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

What a wonderful 13! I know Christ would approve! Your blog is so nice. I love it. I'll be back, too. I'll link you later today. Thanks for finding me so I could find you! :)
Thanks, Kim, for sharing what God has put on your heart. I pray that my heart will be sensitive to the same things in this coming year!
That is a great list, Kim! And you're so right, with God's grace. I think it's good to seek God to see what we can work on in our Christian walk. I find if I don't write down what God is laying on my heart to change, I can quickly forget about it!
I love those 13 things. You remind me to step up on all of them. Thanks!
Loved reading your list! I am t-totally with you on the dying to self one. . .
Thanks for the awesome list. Thanks for sharing! Love your blog.
I just started blogging, if you get a chance visit me sometime..

Hey, Kim, I am answering the question you left on my blog. . .
I do not have access to my CDs at present, but I believe the name of the CD is All Things New. It is one of my very favorite CDs - all the songs are good. The CD is like a dark goldish caramel color - if I remember right!!
Thanks for your prayers.
Kim thank you so much for the link on #1...this is something I need to concentrate on myself (and is made even more difficult since my hubbie isn't a Christian).
I am truly grateful for all the encouragement, support and love that I get from blogs such as yours. Thank you. Laura
Oh, Kim aren't #9 &10 so very difficult? They are the most important for me, because I can't attempt obedience to the others without laying down my own selfish agenda. I have certainly struggled with that this month!
Thanks for the springboard! Blessings for your day :)
Kim,
We all need to list those!
I love the article on "An Excellant Wife", one that is permanently in my file.
Inspiring and encouraging, thank you.
Hello,
I have been praying for God to really impress upon my heart some New Year's "resolutions".....things He would like to see me work on this next year..more than dieting and working out more...ha! When I read your post I knew exactly what I needed to start working on....I know that I need God to reveal MY OWN "thursday Thirteens" BUT I am going to borrow some of yours..ha! Your writing is so biblically based and you are such an encouragement to all of your "sisters in Christ" Especially ME!!! Thanks for seeking HIM and sharing what HE teaches you! Bless you!
What a great list. I just sat down and did my list with my husband last night. Very simular goals. DIe to oneself.......I need that one.
May God bless our efforts.
A weighty, thoughtful list, Kim. Thanks for sharing it and moving my thoughts in a similar direction.
Great list, very thoughful Kim. I have just printed off the John MacArthur article and i am going to read it when I have the time. Thanks for the link! Happy New Year.
Kim - I am a little disconnected from blogging at the moment, but hope to get my act together soon! Just wanted to say HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
That is a GREAT list. So much to work on for me too! Every one of those are things I need to get better at. I hope you don't mind if I link your blog...... I love it!
This is the first time I have visited your blog. I love your pictures and entries. What a sweet heart you have and precious children. I can't wait to hear more about the adoption. We have always wanted to adopt a Chinese little girl!
Kim,
I REALLY appreciate you listing these. I am going to copy them down and keep them close by. All these are areas that I greatly need to work on. The longer I walk with the Lord, the more ugly sin I seem to dig up.
Dying to self is so very hard.
His,
Mrs. U
Love your list. We share many of the same desires and goals for our lives.
