1 John 2:3-6

Hi everyone!

I apologize for not writing for awhile, I have been a busy girl, but that's not a very good excuse. These last two weeks have been full of stress for me, and unfortunately I haven't been leaning on my Savior like I should have been doing! A few weekends ago, my family's friend died of a sudden heart attack. Him, his wife and 6 year old son were on a little vacation when it happened. Even though it is very sad that his wife and son don't have him anymore, the worst part is that they aren't a Christian family. I would just ask that you keep them in your prayers, and pray that maybe this situation is the awakening they need for God to come into their lives. Thank you all! :)

Reading these verses remind me that I am not perfect, and it's something I will never be until I get to Heaven. I hate the moments where you realize that you just did something that you were trying so hard not to. For me, it's when I am home for the weekend, and I tell myself over and over again that I am not going to get upset with my younger brother even if he gives me a reason to. Even though I am a sinful creature, I know that our Lord will always take away my sins, over and over again. There's nothing I can do to get myself to Heaven, because that's why Jesus lived a perfect life and died for all believers! So thankful that our Savior is a forgiving God! I want to live my life for Him in everything I do. :) Praying for you all!!

  1. Wow that's hard and so sad about your family friend. I agree prayers are needed for family left behind - who knows what God has in mind now! All we know is that he definitely must have a plan!
    I think we're all going through the ringer this month in the way of busy-ness, stress, and frustrations at not being able to nail down our commitments to Bible study, etc. I know I have been struggling. Thank our Lord that he sees our desire and knows we long to live more like him all the time! Thinking of you sweetheart - hope all is well for you and my brother! :)
