"Holy Fire, burn away....my desire for anything
That is not of you and is of me. I want more of you and less of me."
Lyrics from "Empty Me" - Jermey Camp (YouTube Video Below)

Who could say this any better???....I am so grateful for the creation of this photo. It helps me visual the efforts I need to make to stay open to GOD's words. After 27 years of life, I now know myself well enough to know that I would bring myself in harms way physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, financially, relation-ally if my steps are not ordered by God.
So I return to my Daily Prayer of Gratitude to maintain a spirit that is 100% open to GOD filling me with his beautiful, positive influence.*

This instrumentation and lyrics is so precious to me. I am so so grateful.
At a time when I was finding my way to God, I needed help with praying and the whole lyrics of "Empty Me" has helped me express my gratitude and appreciate of God's Grace.
"Holy Fire burn away,
My desire for anything
That is not of you and is of me.
I want more of you and less of me."
Was the perfect start to lifetime relationship with GOD. <3 I lived a life that was NOT of God and was of ME and that brought some "good" but more "bad" experiences. I have grown to want more of HIM and less of ME and I have seen a great difference! My life is no longer so scattered now that I have ordered my steps with God. So Today I give thanks to Jeremy Camp & band for "Empty Me". How it was sung helped shape my foundation of prayer and strengthened my relationship with HIM. <3
~Many Blessings~

*Prayer of Gratitude
Thank you GOD
I fully acknowledge this day was given to me
I fully acknowledge that I did not give this day to myself
I give Thanks to My Ancestors who gave birth and raised my Grandparents
I give thanks to My Grandmothers who carried and raised my Parents
I give thanks to my mother who carried us (my twin and I) in her womb for 8 months
I give thanks to her for the sacrifice she gave of her body, of her once small physique, to continue the flow of life on earth unselfishly
Who gave us more days of happiness versus discipline
Who gave up so much of their life; living to work instead of working to live
So that my siblings and I can achieve what they did not have the opportunity to achieve in Haiti
The **Freedom** to accomplish so much more in America
The man I lacked appreciation for the most
HE who only had wisdom and lessons to keep me safe, to keep me holy, to keep me pure
And yet I have doubted him, I have denied him, I have disobeyed him
And have paid such a great price in all categories of my life
Which makes me so utterly grateful for the limitless opportunities HE gives us to redeem ourselves
I am utterly grateful for HIS grace
And fully Acknowledge that I could not have all that was listed above without HIM.
