Do you notice me?

Isaiah 40:31
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Philippians 2:15
15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe

Matthew 6:33
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

God has a tremendous effect on our lives. I have a poster with Isaiah 40:31 on it. It was helpful last year because it helped me get up in the morning just by staring at it. It's become a favourite verse.He provides us with what we need, strength, desires... And restoration. Every now and again we desperately need restoration.

I want to 'shine like the stars in the universe' Often i look at the stars in the night sky and stand in awe of God's creation. And i want to show some of that awesome stuff, and maybe i do. But New years i was star gazing again with my friend discussing whether a certain constellation was a frying pan or a saucepan. I want to show who i am (a child of God).

Why do i want people to notice me? Is it for mine, or God's glory? That is a deep question. It is mixed with me, i can't deny that sometimes i do like to gain approval and admiration. <- big confession for mon. She's been trying to deny that to herself for a couple of weeks. I guess it depends what we want to be noticed for.

I want to be known for who i am. I want to be known as a "God girl" but also as a normal person. Which was another thing my friend and i were chatting about last night. Some school friends believe you can't believe you can be a Christian and a computer geek at the same time. So we're known as freaks (i had a school shirt with "freak" wirtten on it too).

Also I have been told that once we seek God and put him first in our lives, God fulfills our desires. But when we go through that process, our desires change. What are your thoughts on this verse above ^? When we look to him, our focus is tuned into him, and so we desire what he desires?
