IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE (or, I wish I was more like Corrie...)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Corrie Ten Boom! She is such an inspiration...not only because the Lord accomplished so much through her and her ministry, but because she was REAL. She admitted her sins...she "came clean" about her bad attitudes. Then, she points us back to Jesus! THE LORD JESUS...even the way she speaks His name is so intimate!

I have so far read: The Hiding Place, Tramp for the Lord, and I just finished reading In My Father's House. Needless to say, it's awesome! I absolutely loved this quote at the end by her father Casper: "When Jesus takes your hand He keeps you tight. When Jesus keeps you tight He leads you through life. When Jesus leads you through life He brings you safely home."

So precious!

I wish I was more like Corrie. Her faith, her obedience, her faithfulness, the way she understood God's leading and directing in her life, and her tender heart...Lord, please mold me into the vessel YOU have DESIGNED me to be!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a 2 year old screaming at her big sisters. We cannot allow tyranny to reign terror in this mother's house! I'm so thankful My Father is with me!
