I have been known to say.. " I need to redefine myself this week.." haha well if you have heard it.. i guess i should explain the meaning behind it. It is crazy how easy it is to get comfortable in life. Let me tell you, i don't think life should ever be easy or comfortable for believers. We always need to be defining ourselves.. or in my case REdefining myself to be more and more like our savior. AND that only comes by seeking God first and formost.. Always striving to do hard things because that will make us stronger.. (even though i know i am SO week).. I need to stop thinking i can do things my way and i can do things on my own.. because i cant. ("And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. ")
I have been thinking a lot about how i need to stive for a gentle and quiet spirit. (" but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God") This quality which i KNOW is of great worth.. one also that i do not posess. It always makes me think of Kelsey.. when we were young we realized the importance of a gentle and quiet spirit; and we Purposed to stirve towards one. I guess for a while i forgot, but lately i have remembered. I need to strive all the way so i can be sliver... Silver clear enough for God to see his face in me. God shouldnt be something someone has to look for in a person. He should be the most evident thing about my character, and the first thing peope notice and see.
Well this week was a little bittersweet. ( mostly sweet. :) My dearest sister is getting married to a wonderful dude. ( who contrary to public opinion i am quite fond of..) She is gorgeous and fabulous. And i know she will be so happy. last night we prayed together, ( for the life that they will share.) i will miss her desperately well she leaves... ( even though sometimes we dont get along... however thats all past eh? haha no more petty fights. i wont allow it.) For i shall be alone.. HOWEVER, (" Good Lord for alliance! Thus goes everyone to the world but I, and I am sunburnt; I may sit in a corner and cry 'heigh-ho!' for a husband!" hahaha) someday.. perhaps.. But... She is very happy. :) and i cant wait for the day to end all days! AHHHHH this is going to be epic..
!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thinking
Love Always
