my relationship with Jesus.
It has occured to me that as much as I have drawn closer to God in the last few years there are still somethings I cannot grasp. These are things I don't think any of you can out and out tell me..These are things the Holy Spirit has to reveal to me.
It hasn't happened yet.
I am still very self-motivated. I am a people pleaser, perfectionist, and terribly insecure. In Christ I don't need to be any of these things..My relationship with Jesus should satisfy my needs.
Then a thought occured to me..If I transferred all of these feelings to my relationship with the Lord it could become so much stronger..WRONG! Because then I would try to earn His love and I can't.
Will you please pray that I am able to finally die to self and grasp the truth. I truly want to be free to edify and encourage others, not just sit around anxious about what people think and what God might think of me. (that he might be disappointed)
Not sure if that made sense...
Thanks for taking the time to read this and considering praying for my need.
love,
~Tammie

Father You know the needs that Tammie has, and You hear her prayers. Father I know how awful it is to have insecurities, and please help us both to be secure people in who we are, because You made us, and because we are Your children. I pray that You will bless Tammie in every area in her life, and I pray that You will put her in a good place, where she feels accepted and loved and secure in who she is. I pray that You will bless her with wisdom and understanding, and show her favor Lord. Please be with her and comfort her in Your love, everyday Lord. Thank You for all You have done for her, and all You are going to do for her. In Your precious Name I pray, Amen.

I am assuming you are my sisters (if you are my brothers, please correct me 
),
Thank you so very much for lifting me in prayer. I am feeling a sense of peace I haven't felt maybe ever. I also see the Lord answering some prayers that I had asked some time ago. That is a definate boost to my faith to know that He never forgets...
Lastly, my Pastor called me last week and asked me to share my testimony. I go to a church of 700 + people, so for my Senior Pastor to call and ask me to do this was very encouraging. He obviously was led to call me by the Holy Spirit. My testimony was taped and it complimented his sermon on faith and deliverance last Sunday.
Abba is using me to touch others' lives..I am having the breakthrough with Jesus I so desperately want...I just need to keep reminding myself that the Christian life is a marathon not a sprint.
Thanks again for praying!
May the Lord bless you and keep you!
