WOW!!...i have never experienced this much snow in all my life!!...it is amazing to see snow and especially for more than a few hours before its gone again...it sure is beautiful!!...i cant help but think as i sit here in the classroom that feels like a snow globe about the greatness of God!!...just as He has already covered my footprints to my room that i walked just an hour and a half ago so has He covered my sins!!...what a beautiful picture of His redeeming LOVE that He has lavished on all who believe!!...i am so unworthy but i realize that everyday He brings me back into His glory and continues to use me despite my flesh...as far as the east is from the west so far has He removed my sin and yours!!...HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US!!...no matter how filthy i am He is faithful to purify my heart and soul!!...create in my a clean heart oh God and renew a steadfastness within me!!...we have been studying the book of Acts this week from an incredible man of the Word-Mitch Maher...he has so much knowledge in God and it soo cool and refreshing to see the power of the scripture from someone who has TRULY devoted himself to it!!...we hear and see people teach from the Bible all the time but are they truly, truly devoted to it?!...i think that is a strong word in which most of us can not say of ourselves...but it is what we have been called to so...yesterday denise and i were teaching our small group girls how cool it is that God does not MAKE us love Him but calls us to...its not truly love if you are forced to love...but how amazing is it that He allows us to feel that desire to love Him and long to know Him...my deepest prayer that i often say is Lord let me long for you more today than i did yesterday!!...i pray that that too can be your desire to know Him more and more each day!!...and from that knowing we then must make Him known!!...i cant say enough about my taco bell workers...if i havent mentioned them yet on here let me just say that it is AMAZING to see how God moves when you acknowledge the least of these!!...may we never take for granted the people God places in out path daily...for denise and i it started in november in which we realized that since Reeds Spring is such a small town that there are two "happening" places...macdonalds and taco bell...we met a guy named Adam and from there we decided we would go there every tuesday between small group with our middle school girls and high school k-life club to get to know these people...they have many boring days in the off season of branson but for about an hour and a half each tuesday they have two silly 25 year old girls who truly ask how they are and how their days are going!!...soo fun!!...we gave each of them valentines yesterday and it was soo fun to see their faces of excitement...someone decided to love a stranger at a lowly restaurant...so even though that food is probably not the best for me i will go there every tuesday to see my sweet friends that i can show God's love to!!...who are the people in your life that need you to simply ask "how are you today" and mean it?...i pray that you will have boldness and if you dont feel it ask God for it...
missin all yall that i am apart from today...
praying much JOY because im livin in it everyday here on the winter island!!...
