Love Your Enemies

Do any of you ever struggle with getting along with certain people? I know that I do. I have had a really hard time working with some people, but in God's Word it says to love your enemies. I think that a lot of us forget sometimes that we are all loved by God, therefore we must all love each other! What I have personally discovered is that the only way to get along with someone that you don't really care for is to kill them with kindness! There are also a lot of different ways that we can tolerate others :o) I'm sure that you have all heard the saying, "treat others the way you want to be treated" or, "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all!"
I hope that you all have a blessed week and most importantly a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Faith

So lately I have been thinking a lot about faith and why it is soooo important. I am reading EXCEEDINGLY GROWING FAITH, by Kenneth E. Hagin. There are so many things in this book that have opened my eyes to how I should be giving God ALL of my faith, especially when I need to step out IN faith. There is something changing in my life right now that I am totally expecting God to help me get through and I know that I cannot get through it without Him.
I love the scripture about the girl that had the faith for Jesus to heal her, and when she touched His robe she was healed because she BELIEVED! I love that! I am still learning to completely rely on God to take care of all of the big things in my life, but I have seen that when we give the Lord our all and when we hand over the things in our lives to Him and TRUST that He will take care of them that He truly WILL take care of them. His Word is the truth!
Have a Blessed week!

Short & Sweet

So we had our mexican fiesta tonight at New Life for the Youth Group and I thought that it was so much fun! I was so glad that my parents came! I truly feel that God is starting to do something in them. I just want to thank everyone for being so welcoming and so awesome to my parents:o) That was such a blessing.

I am still dogsitting and I hope that they get home soon because I would like to go home and go to bed :o) I have been here for 10 days, so I am ready to go home. Plus we have the prayer furnace tomorrow, so I need some extra sleep...ohh well.
Well I hope that everyone is doing well and I hope you all have an awesome and blessed weekend!!!

Breaking Free

Isn't it amazing that God has broken us free from so many things that we used to be attached to?

"But today I am freeing you from the chains on your wrists." Jeremiah 40:4

As I was looking at the cover of my workbook (it says Breaking Free and it has shackels that have been unlocked and broken) and I was just thinking about all of the things that God has brought me out of and delivered me from, to where I am now. God wants us to be in the place where we are in His presence and relying on Him and giving our every need to Him. When Jesus died on that cross, it was for OUR sins, and it was to set US free. God loves US and so in return WE need to give OUR all to the one who died for US. Just think, we have been released from death and have been given eternal life just because we believed. HOW AWESOME! We tend to forget or get caught up in the world where we don't always honor God and yet, He loves us the same. What a wonderful God!

God's Goodness

So it's about time that I make a post! It's been too long! So tonight we all get about an extra hour of sleep which rocks! :o) I feel like I have lost a lot of sleep lately.
I am done taking my state boards (I hope) hopefully forever... I passed my written test (PRAISE GOD!!!) and hopefully I will have passed my practical test. I don't find out for about a week... I hate waiting hehe ;o) So once I get my license, you guys can come to me for manicures :o)

I just want to thank God for blessing me and for helping me to conquer things that I would never have been able to achieve without Him. He truly is the rock on which I stand!!! And the exciting thing is that He doesn't just stop here, He just keeps on blessing and blessing!!!

Tell me what God has done in your life lately...

Love you all!

Encouraging

I was watching Joel Osteen tonight and he was talking about being encouraging. How we talk to people should be in an uplifting way. We shouldn't talk to someone who is lazy, we should talk to them in an encouraging/positive way. We should always be positive to our friends and even to ourselves. We should always look towards the light :o) "As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." Proverbs 27:17
I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL week!
Love,
Kristin
