As you are looking into my Johari's window, I would like for my open pane to begin to grow. So I am going to open up with some specific prayer requests that are those in my hidden pane. I want for you to see me (the Christ in me). The pretty and the ugly. I would like for you to pray for both sides. here I go:
I desire to look more like Chrst and for Him to invade every part of me. I want to stop biting my fingernails, I want to start exercising, but I don't because I know that I will stop again when it starts to hurt. I would like to loose 40lbs and get down to 200lbs for the simple reason of presenting a healthy message. Better dental hygiene, Eating healthier, Wake up earlier, Go to bed earlier, Read Bible more, commit to memorizing scripture, Deeper more intentional prayer life, making time for meditation, Spirit led, Internally changed on a daily bases, I want the Character of God, Pray for my holiness, I want to be holy as God is holy. Pray that my thoughts that they would be held captive and they would glorify God. Authentic, Risky, Rawl, Real. better huband, that I would view my wife as a crock pot, I must continue to place blessing into her. May our relationship deepen. Intentionality, parent with grace, be transformed by the spirit of Christ, and finally (at least to this point) that I would strive to make Jesus known out of appreciation rather than obligation. Thanks for letting me be open.
Blessings, Jeremy

Great stuff, my son in the faith. I am proud of you. May God empower you to be the holy man you desire. We are all his...to transform into His likeness. It will take his power and your daily submission. I am confident in both. I love the way you are venturing out on the point of our team...with this kind of leadership!!

Jeremy, thank you for choosing to live in the light. I am proud of you, and thankful that I am married to you. I am committed to praying these things for you.
I love you.

"Oh, Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there, if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they could outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Psalm 139:1-18, 23-24
Jeremy, I love you and I love this passage. It reminds us of how very special we all are to God and how he knows every detail there is to know about us. I pray each one of us will keep asking God to "search us, know us and test us and know our anxious thoughts...see if there is any offensive ways in us and lead us in the way everlasting."
Thank you for your courage to be transparent for Jesus.
God is glorified.
Kay
