Lyn 101

Intro to who I am...

What makes me, me...

101 things you may or may not have known about me...

I came up with a few different ideas to title this series, and I've decided "Lyn 101" will be best. Yep...I'm starting a series. It won't be an everyday series, but more of an ongoing, in between all the other blogs, series. I will in fact be sharing 101 things about myself. To be honest, I'm not even sure of each and every little thing I have to share. When they come to me I'll be sure to blog them. They won't always be things that go together, are serious, or even necessarily matter to you. The purpose in doing this is twofold. First, to let you know a bit more about me. Second, to let me know a bit more about myself. Because when you put things in writing they seem to matter more, become more important, more real.

I feel that in doing this I'll be able to work on some flaws I have, laugh at my mistakes, take pride in my tiny little quirks that make me who I am, become a better version of myself. Maybe you can help me. Maybe you can relate to some of the things. Maybe we'll all learn a bit.

#1 No one needs the gospel more than myself, I am the biggest sinner I know. I frequently need this reminder.

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in His divine forbearance He had passed over former sins. It was to show His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." - Romans 3:23-26


In spite of this truth, I am striving to become more Christ like.
"He must increase, but I must decrease." - John 3:30

         "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." - 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

And what wonderful news that we are made new with each day.

"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:22-23


I am not perfect, nor will I be until I am made perfect by Him. I am humbled by a God that loves me, cares for me, and covers me with His grace and mercy because I am completely undeserving. I am however overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness for Him. I pray that He receives the glory in all that I do.

Ok...so just #1 for now. Besides, I had to split it somewhere to provide an even number so that I can have an even number of posts in this series. I mean 101 is a prime number after all. Can you guess what my #2 might be??? ;)
