this week is the week i begin school.
the summer is officially over, but for some reason i don’t really mind. i’m quite interested in seeing how my classes will be this quarter and sincerely hoping i haven’t overloaded too badly. 5 classes isn’t too much, right? the way i see it is that i should load up now before i get burnt out, then i won’t be regretting it later.
i got a livescan today and the man to did it told me he’s never had such a hard time getting fingerprints off anyone in the 5 years he’s been doing them. wow. tragic. he also told me that my fingerprints looked like those of a 50 year old. again, tragic.
on a lighter note, the women’s retreat was absolutely fabulous and i was SO blessed. the Lord really revealed truth to women’s hearts and my favorite part of it was being able to pour into my sisters in Christ and taking my eyes off myself (for the most part) for the weekend. i mean, honestly, you can’t be 100% selfless on these retreats simply because God is usually uncovering some junk in your own heart that you need to deal with, but spending time with women i hardly see was just amazing. life gets in the way sometimes and i’m blessed the Lord gave me the money and opportunity to go this year.
to end, since i know that personally, i never have too much of an attention span for reading online, i’ll leave you with a verse and a photo.
"And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us." 1 John 3:23-24
Women’s Retreat is this weekend!!!!!!! Praise God I get to go this year!!!
I’ll update prob on Monday to share and I’m going to try to also take pics this year, until Monday then!
Ok, so I admit that reading one book over and over and over and over again is both a huge blessing and a challenge. I’m finding myself getting bored with the text, BUT- praise God- He is also revealing more things to me every day through these repeated words.
FORINSTANCE:
2:22-23 – “No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.”
This theme of Jesus being the Saviour and Christ is definitely repeated through this book. And, to me, those two verses right there pretty much defeat anyone who will accept God, but not Jesus as Savior. You CANNOT have the Father without the Son. Period.
There are a ton of promises laid out in this book too, as well as assurance of salvation (5:13)
FORINSTANCE:
-We are pure, as He is pure (3:3)
-We are righteous, as He is righteous (3:7)
-God is love, and to love is to know God, and TRUE love is that which Jesus showed us on the cross (4:7-10)
-Through Christ, we have both truth and life (5:6-12)
There are seriously SO many more, but I haven’t the time since I’ve gotta get to work.
BUT- I pray you are encouraged and blessed by reading these wonderful promises of the Lord to His children through Jesus.
Until next time….
One year for Eric and I. We went to Big Bear, had a picnic, had some coffee, had some great homestyle cookin, but basically, we just had an amazing day.
