words to live by

2 Corinthians 12:9
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Luke 11:4
Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.

Matthew 18:20-22
21 "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
22Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

His sWord

'For the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.' - I love it !

His Word is so sharp when we hear it, we can feel the slicing pain in our hearts and spirits. Let your Word Change me Lord!!!

love.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man would lay down his life for his friends.

-Jesus

hmmm can you imagine - giving your life, so that your friends might live..? its hard to... but it also makes me think of sacrificing my pride, etc.. in order to share my testimony with others. Or being a witness, that they might have the eternal life God offers to all. I pray that i can be brave enough in the face of questions - no matter where i am or what im doing, that others may LIVE.

THE LIFE

as i sat in lady's conference fri night - i looked over the beautiful crowd of godly women and was reassured: THIS IS THE LIFE FOR ME. There is no other way of life worth living if its not living for God. I am so thankful my Mom invited Amanda and I to join her and my Aunt Donna at ladys conference in Lufkin (she is the most generous/thoughtful Mom EVER and i love her with all my heart). IT WAS AWESOME. I received so much renewing strength from God and we rejoiced and danced in His presence Sat morning before heading home. AMAZING. LOVED IT. NO OTHER WAY TO LIVE.

oh lord, you know

i have no friend like you
if heaven's not my home
oh lord what will i do?

the angels beckon me
to heaven's open doors and i
CANNOT FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE!!!!
