I don't know what to say. By that, as usual, I have A LOT to say. As in, there is so much I have to say I don't even know where to begin.
I guess prayer would be my starting place. I didn't feel so hot when I went into prayer, and I didn't exactly feel fantastic leaving either. But during prayer, it was amazing.
I have been thinking about "the race of faith" lately and not walking off the track, when I remembered a very popular passage of scripture:
"... Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, his love endures forever..."
(Psalms 136)
But there was one word that struck me: endures.
I often refer to the word endures as in running. It's hard and you have to endure to pass the finish line. But in this scripture it's not talking about us enduring, but aboug God enduring, or more correctly his love enduring.
We don't endure alone. We don't fight this spiritual battle alone, we don't endure alone. It says right there He is enduring too! That is so amazing to me.
When God showed that to me it hurt my heart so bad because I'm always thinking about myself through this, all my struggles, when God's standing right besides us fighting too.
Blurb for the day.
- By the way, my blurb has SO much to do with my 5 minute challenge.
- I went to Emma's today so we could work on editing my book (wow. what an insane thing to call it. God has blessed me so much with this story, you have no idea!
- It was fun too though. Did I mention he was tri-polar? I told you all the names have significance!! Oh yeah, and they're all telepathic. Just a heads up!
- Sigh. Don't you just love those little moments that make you laugh so hard? They make the world go round, they really do. They're blessings in disguise.
- It's finally the weekend. School wasn't so bad, and I really enjoyed talking to Kristen and Taylor in history. That is probably one of the best classes!
- My family is watching Wall. E right now. I wanted to watch Finding Nemo but nooooo.
- You win some you lose some.
- Enough said.

P.S. I greatly encourage you to read 1 Peter 5... "Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble..."

It's kinda crazy when you remember endurance is the noun-form of the verb endure. To endure could very well mean to fight, to strive, to press on. It's a nice thing to remember!
And I'd like to help edit this book!!! I mean, if you need more than five people on this entire project...anyway.
Wall-e = my passion.
Nuff said.
