~At Last~



Rain!! We finally got some rain today. I enjoyed sleeping in since 1000am this morning because I had off today. So I pretty much read all day and went to the mall. I finally finished the book Be Intolerant by Ryan Dobson, I love reading his books, I learn so much from them. I've started to read Psalms and yeah it's gonna take me a little while to get through it.


>Psalms 4:3 "You can count on this: The Lord set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call to him."

>Psalms 4:4 "Don't sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent."---the problem with me is that I tend to go to bed angry and I'm still angry when I wake up in the morning and head off to work, then it affects my job and everyone around me, so I still have to work on that, not to go to bed angry.

>There are three absolute truths that we need to believe if we're going to be a biblical Christian: 1. The Bible is the true and inspired Word of God.
2. God exists and is exactly as the Bible describes Him to be.
3. Jesus is the only way to get to God.

>Jesus is there for you when you're up, and He doesn't abandon you when you're down. Christianity isn't based on your good works, as so many other religions are, but on God's good works on your behalf.

>You have to learn how to be intolerant- in love.

>What comes out of your mouth is what's in your heart.----i think thats true for me at times.

>Theres a time in the book that talks about spending time reading God's Word for 7 minutes or so or until something strikes you. Then for the rest of the time think about what you read, open your spiritual ears for God to speak to you, and pray.----thats my problem, i dont listen to God or even take time to do. I need to work on listening to Him and thats my goal this week!!!


I hope this week is going to be a good week for me and that i can open my ears and just listen for once, JUST LISTEN!!!

It was a beautiful day out tonight, despite the rain and lightening but we needed that!!
