I want the cynic in me to die an everlasting death…

On 11/12/2005, at the age of 42, I called on the name of the Lord. I have been walking with Him ever since. It’s been an amazing adventure. Following the Lord is not for the faint hearted. It takes a lot of courage to admit you can’t change without Him. It takes a lot of courage to ask Him to be changed. But that’s exactly what I have asked for. When you ask God to change you, be prepared. He doesn’t want to change just a little bit. He wants to change all of it!

Hi! My name is Michelle. I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I am a cynic in need of a Savior who will break my heart and tear down the granite wall that I built around it. As I prepare to embark on my greatest adventure with the Lord yet, I am praying for Him to utterly destroy the cynic. I want Him to take every hideous thing in my heart and crush it, the whining, the complaining, the pessimistic, the gossiping. I might have a cute facade, but it isn’t good enough anymore. I want all these bad traits to be stripped away from my heart and soul so that I shine with a brightness that will require others to wear shades. Not for me, but all for the glory of my God and Savior! I want people to know there is a God in heaven who loves them with an everlasting love! As long as the cynic lives in me, they won’t see Him the way I do. As long as the cynic lives in me, the light will be dimmer than it should be.

I ask all of you, the people I love and who love me back, to join with me in praying for God to destroy the cynic in me. I know He can do it. He can do anything! He alone is worthy! To God be the glory both now and forever! Amen!

His… Michelle
Philippians 1:20
