God is so good. Every time I need it, I'm reminded of who He is and
His goodness. Who He is changes everything. The loans from Wells Fargo
were bringing me anxiety and I started becoming anxious about a lot
things; I felt like I just wasn't doing ENOUGH. I prayed about it, though, and knew I could trust God. He works all things together for my good. Thanks, God.
I've been challenged recently to love
others better. Being in the house, there has been a lot of
arguing and tense feelings. It's so easy to jump on the defense and
argue. This is never the best way to handle a situation, and
Philippians tells us not to argue. Love is not self-seeking. When I
argue, part of me wants the person to understand the truth and their irrationality, and another side of me wants to defend myself. The
defending myself part is self-seeking (most of the time). I recently read somewhere that
our lives are supposed to reveal the life of Jesus. I knew this, but
hearing it sounded different to me. The way we live our lives should
make people see Jesus' life. It made me want to keep growing and
becoming more like Jesus. Not settling for how I am now, but always
seeking Him, wanting to reveal His love more and more.
By the way,

was GREAT. God is AWESOME. I was so much more confident spiritually.
God has taught me a lot in the past year about prayer and about His
power. I felt I didn't have anything to fear and that praying for those
girls was a privilege and that God answers prayer.
