All His

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." - Mark 12:30

Hello, my name is Nicole. I'm a Christian. I'm a daughter, sister, and friend. I am a Tiger, graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia (and sadly cannot brag about my football team this year). While I was there, I was part of the campus ministry, Mizzou Chi Alpha. I'm currently a social worker. And I am looking forward to one day being a missionary in Denmark.

If you just read that paragraph, you now know the things I consider to be integral parts of who I am. If you reread the sentence after my name you will know what I believe is THE most important aspect of my identity. Not because of who it says I am.

But because of WHOSE it says I am.

I am God's. He created me. He died for me. He loves me. I am His. All His.

If you've read my blog at all before, you probably know that's the title of it. You might have even read the subheading underneath that title. But I've realized recently that when I started this blog, I never really introduced myself or explained my purpose for writing here. So I've decided to do that now. And since I'm planning to make writing a more regular occurrence, now's as good a time as any.

Allowing myself to be all His is a process. There's something I have to give to Him every single day. And sometimes, that can be the same thing every day for a week or a month or a year. Sometimes, it only takes a day, but I have to do it again a year later. That's normal because, like you, I'm human. I want to love God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. That's what it means to be all His. But I'm not quite there yet.

And that's why I write these posts. I want to share my journey of giving more to Him. I want to share my journey so you can see what He's doing in my life and hopefully be encouraged to allow Him to work in yours. I want to help you become all His as well.

So, feel free to share your own introduction in the comments. Let's get to know each other and encourage one another in this journey.
