THE WINNER IN ME (Coco)

When I looked at my reflection in the mirror,
I said this can't be happening to me,
I wasn't ready for the challenge for my life was still imbalanced and the pleasing guide of my fans and friends still had demand on me.
To find out who I was did not come easy,
for I felt like I was in this race alone,
until I heard a voice speak clearly saying there's a winner within me,
and I was charged to beat the odds and with victory I'll say- The winner in me pushed me forward when my problems would push me down the winner in me would fall my freedom when my surroundings kept me confound.
So let's make one thing perfectly clear there's a reason why I’m still here
The winner in me pushed me forward when my problems would push me down the winner in me would fall my freedom when my surroundings kept me confound.
So let's make one thing perfectly clearly there's a reason why I’m still here.
The winner in me would bring me peace
The winner in me would be my refuge when my surroundings would drive me insane when my security became my blame..God's taken me to my destination there's a winner in me and His name is Jesus
If it had not been for Jesus I would've lost my mind
The only way that I didn’t faint when nobody else would come to my rescue
Jesus is the winner in me!

Good Morning Lord Jesus.  My hours are a little confused as I woke up later than usual but I also went to bed much later than normal.  Thank you for a great weekend.  I spent time with my family, natural and church family.  I was able to listen to some really good teaching about living a life of freedom and hope.  The winner in me is Jesus and He is continually pushing me forward.  He is the winner in me, He is taking me to my destiny.  He is teaching me how to live a more victorious life.  I am grateful that He has chosen me to pour His heart into.  I am amazed that I am His child and that I will never die.  My soul will live forever in a peace that I can’t even express adequately.

Paul said this, “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”   “I made up my mind to pay attention to only one thing while I was with you. That one thing was Jesus Christ and his death on the cross”.  “For I decided to concentrate only on Jesus Christ and His death on the Cross”.  “I came to you in weakness and fear and with much trembling,  My message and preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power”.  1 Corinthians 2:2-5  David Wilkerson (a modern day prophet) says this, “I have no good in me at all. The kind of repentance that God is looking for is confessing the weakness of our futile efforts and denying that we have any power at all in ourselves.” 

Mary Ann Seman, a modern day wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and on and on says Yes and Amen.  There is no good in me except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  I’m captured by the Holy Spirit of God that lives in my heart and my mind is submitted to Him.  Mold me, Use me, Fill me, I give my life to the Potter’s Hand.  I am trusting His ability to make a beautiful piece of pottery that can demonstrate His ability in His creation.  Set me apart, Lord, I know that You are for me.  You have planted dreams and desires within me that only can be accomplished by Your working on me and in me.  I am not on this earth by mistake.  Nothing You do is by mistake.  I give my life to You.  You are able to continue the “work” that You have started on me.  You don’t just stop the wheel and let the clay melt down and become a mass of “nothing”.  I believe that You already see in Your mind the finished product.  I trust You.  Today I am

Messy, still wet, but becoming a beautiful piece of pottery,

Mary Ann
